crrc.fix and rosary, the innkeeper his
tallies. and everybody his knife. so
many and so various were the articles
attached to it that the 1ippant began

Boots are supposed to have been the
invention Of the Carians. They were
mentioned by Homer. 90f b. c..
Greelan women possessed twenty-five
kinds of footgear, which may be
classed as those which cover all the
foot up to the ankle and those which
simply tied on the top Of the foot with
wide ribbons OF straps The practice
Of shoe and sandal wearing can be
traced back for some thousands OF
years and is probably of eastern origin.
Frequent mention is made of the shoe
In the Bible, from the book Of Exodus
to the Acts, and there is mention made
Of shoe latchet as early as the time
Of Abraham.

TREATY AT LAST SIGNED.
The Famous Anglo-French Arbitration
 Treaty Attracts Much Attention.

Paris October 14.-The signing of the Anglo French arbitration treaty in Lon don today divided attention with the visit of the king and queen of Italy to Paris Since the French and English papers re- ceived the Associated Press exclusive Paris dispatch from New York announc- ing the agreement on the terms of treaty, the matter has been much discussed and considerable feeling has been shown for and against the treaty The government regards the treaty as one of the most important achievements of foreign Min ister Delcasse, and as likely to exert far reaching political influence upon the re- lations between France and Great Britain and to indirectly influence favorably the relations of all the European powers. The serious journals congratulate the French and British diplomatists, but some of the anti-government newspapers criticize the treaty The prevailing public sentiment, however, is favorable to 1t.
 The fact that the treaty was signed the Emanuel, Is considered to be significant as 1t is believed that King Victor Eman- uels visit to President Loubet, and the latter's projected visit to the Italian Kin~ at Rome, may have treaty results, similar to those of the visit of King Ed ward to President Loubet, and the presi- dents return visit to the British sover- egn in London.
