Children's New

a special word about Children's
and Infants Shoes. A good be-
ginning is as important in shoe
wearing as in anything else. Proper
attention to growing feet saves
many a hurt in after life. The lasts
adopted i'll our shoes are the result
OF much careful study. They are
thoroughly hygienic, not crowding
the growing feet, but allowing them
to develop as nature intended.
Our Children's Shoes are lust
such shoes as busy little feet should
have-shoes to romp and run in,
and they are made just as carefully
as the women's shoes.
We have placed on sale several lines of Misses

Correct COrsets.


The duties which the corset of the
present day must perform are mani
fold indeed. 1t is the foundation
upon which to build a perfect-htting
gown, and it must not only conform
to and follow closely the existing
lines of the body, but has also the
more arduous task of producing
symmetrical curves where they are
absent-it must supply what nature
has neglected.
We have made Our selections ac-
cordingly, and present stock that
is perfect in every detail-in fit,
form and style. And these, together
with Our Paris Corsets-models

A Womnn's Trick.

A Partisan woman who did not pay
her rent played a neat trick on the po-
lice. says the New York Tribune. She
had reputation for violence. and
when the bailiff called he took the pre-
caution of bringing a police commits
sary with him The woman was
wreathed in smiles when she opened
the door to the two officials. and she
assisted them with the utmost anna
bility in drawing up an inventory OF
her furniture, with a view to an even
tual sale a public auction. When the
business was completed she conducted
the bailiff and the police officer to the
front door. but the latter was locked.
Gentlemen" the woman remarked.
with an amiable smile. you are my
prisoners. You have been so courteous
and considerate that l should be loath
to lose your company. Therefore, l
have locked the front door and thrown
the key out of the window. This fiat
is on the fourth floor. The door is an
exceptionally strong one, and your
joint efforts would be powerleSs to force
it open. The next door fiat and that
on the floor beneath are both unOccu-
pied. Consequently, it would be idle
to expect assistance from any one IN
the house. The only thing for you to
do is to holloa out of the window down
into the street, and make yourselves a
laughing stock" The woman then sat
down complacently and waited. The
bailiff and the police officer, convinced
that she had a key of the front door
somewhere in her possession, reasoned
with her for long time, but in vain.
Some four hours of captivity elapsed
before they could make up their minds
to shout and gesticulate at the Win
dow. When they did so a crowd rap
idly collected in the street Every one
thought a crime had been committed.
People who knew were already relat-
ing with circumstantial details how
an elderly woman had been murdered
in the fourth floor fiat. Policemen ar
rived, and. strding through the crowd,
boldly walked upstairs, where, with the
aid of a locksmith. they opened the
| door and found themselves face to face
with their own chief. The latter, with
| the bailiff, made off in a cab as hur-
riedly and as inconspicuously as he
could manage it.

The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1903-11-12

How is it that birds and beasts man
are to pass through life without sue
cumbing to ennui, or at least without
being bored nearly to death? Animals
as a rule do not loaf; it is not thus
that they solve the problem. Loafing is
an art which but few living creatures
understand, says the India Times.
Lizards, crocodiles and chaprassis are
the greatest authorities on the subject.
Animals have acquired the knaCk of
making much ado about nothing; they
have learned to be very busy without
doing anything. This accomplishment
obviously differs from that of loafing.
1t is one which animals have brought
to perfection, and of which many hu
man beings-chiefiy women-are very
able opponents. There is overhead a
wasp busily exploring the holes in the
trunk of a tree. Why he does this he
probably does not know; he has no
time to stop and think He is quite
content to explore away as though his
life depended upon it. Five times
within the last six minutes he has mi
nutely inspected every portion of
the same hole. All his labor is
useless in a sense; without it, however
the wasp would in all proba ability die
of ennui. The wasp is not an iso-
lated case. Most animals are experts
at frittering away time they spend
much of their lives in actively doing
nothing Watch a canary in
a cage. He hops backward and for
ward between two perches as though
he was paid by the distance for doing
so. Look at a butterfly. 1t leads and
aimless existence. Nevertheless it is al
ways busy A bee probably visits
twenty times as many flowers in the
day as a butterfly; for all that the but
terfiy is always on the move.
When speaking of the swift, l notice
how long it took to find the materials
for it's nest, how it went afar off to
seek that which was at it's feet. This.
although the result of stupidity is
doubtless a blessing to the bird. Nest
building affords great pleasure to the
bird-the more protracted the amuse-
ment the better for the architect. The
squirrel labors from early morn till
late eve laying up store of nuts
When one storehouse is full the indus
trious animal opens another, and then
proceeds to forget the existence of the
first Lastly animals spend no in
considerable portion of the day in play
Nearly all the higher animals indulge
in play; some go so far as to play
regular games.
