rule AS TO which foot to try first 1t
is true, nevertheless, that IN a major
ity of cases if you succeed in fitting
the left foot you will have no trouble
with the right My practice is to try
both feet before | pronounce pair OF
Shoes a perfect fit. Then / am sure
Of avoiding any mistake growing out
of peculiarties Of foot formation.
mo two people have feet formed ex-
actly alike, and the shoe salesman who
thinks so and is governed accordingly
Will meet with many complaints. For
some time | pOndered over the problem
Of fitting shoes to feet and especially
as to why the left foot should be con-
sidered the standard by which to be
governed. The only rational theory
have ever been able to evolve Is a very
simple one when you come to consider
it. Nine out of ten people you meet
are right-handed. as we say About
one person in ten, or perhaps the per
cent Is even less than that, uses his
left hand. Ii you will observe per-
son who uses the right and when he
or she is standing and talking they
invariably rest their weight on the left
foot. And vice versa, left-handed
person will rest his or her weight on
the right foot The result is that with
right-handed people the left foot is
probably fraction larger than the
right foot, and the shoe clerk must
inevitably find this to be Il fact soon
er or later That. in my opinion, is
the explanation of the common belief
that the left foot Is the standard to
go by in the fitting of shoes. But. as
have already said, there is no rule
that Is absolutely safe to follow, and
my plan is always to tit both feet be-
fore let customer leave the house. :"

Texas and the year before last f47. 600
were delivered. then if there is no more
cotton left in Texas than last year, it in
dicates a crop Of 1862, 900 for that State
and if It equals that of year before last
it points to a crop of 100000 without
making any allowance for the 200, 900
bales claimed to have been carried over

Texas last year to January 1st., 2.064 600
that Of year before last 2,491 900 and of
1900. which was 100000, we find that
50 ner cent. of last years crop was mar
kcted to that date, 65 per cent of year be-
fore last and 50 per cent. in 1900, conse-
quently If we assure that this years crop
was marketed as rapidly as the maximum
and apply 90 per cent, it indicates crop
of 1900, 000 This, however, we know is
not the case because for five weeks, owing
to the iGclemency of the weather, the
movement was im2eded, then if the 65 per
cent. is applied it points to a crop of
3,037 goo, in other words, the statement is
construed as pointing to a crop OF $780,
COO for Texas. There has been more diff
ference of opinion on the Texas Cutturn
than any other State, many estimating
that the year yield would not be over
2,500,000 These figures demonstrate the
absurdity of such claims. These ideas
may have a tendency to check the bullish

fBy the Associated Press.)

Washington, jan. Tn the Senate to-
day the bill for the reorganization OF the
militia and the Statehood Bill were dis
cussed. Mr.. Mallory. of Florida, led the
Democratic Senators in opposition to the
section of the bill providing for reserve
force of trained men, the contention be-
ing that it not only infringed the rights
of the several States, but also increased
the standing army by hundred thou
sand men.
In the course of Mr.. Mallory's remarks,
a discussion arose, participated in by
Messrs. Tillman, Warren, Foraker
Spooner and Clay, over the construction
to be put upon the section, the Demo
Gratis contendng that the provision put
into the hands of the President powers
belonging to the States.
When the Statehood Bill came up for
consideration, Mr.. Beveridge had read
number of resolutions adopted at re-
cent convention in Oklahoma favoring
single Statehood with Indian Territory.
Mr.. Quay, who is leading the fight for
the admission of Oklahoma. arose and
people who adopted them had not acted

five civilized tribes, in v,the course of
which MI. Tillman INJURED how the pure
blood white men got, title to so much

like to know how it happened"
He later amused the Senate by inter-
rogatirg Mr. Reyeridge regarding what
became of the men who might have mar
ricd the Indian women" Mr.. Beverage
responded that he had not gone into the
matrimonial phase of the question.
Mr.. Nelson, of Minnesota, continued his
remarks in opposition to the Omnibus
Statehood Bill and had not concluded
when the Senate, after brief executive
session, adjourned.
