Buy Shoes by Inches.

Most women buy their children's
shoes by inches instead of by sizes,
says the head clerk OF one Chicago
shoe store. Some do 1t In order to
know what they are getting. because
of slight differences that exist between
sizes. Others do it because the size
marks have been rubbed of the inside
Of tho uppers. The practical mother
does not tako her children to be fitted.
She knows that trip downtown with
them means soda water and candy. So
she saves time and money by using her
tape measure and leaving it to the shoe
clerk to do the rest.

KILLED AN EAGLE
The Standard OF
Perfect Baking.

E. E. Carpenter, of Buena Vista,
was in the city today on business and
| brought with him the claw of an
| immense brown eagle killed by him
On his farm on Sunday, October %.
That morning neighbor told him
that 1.-THE biggest bird he ever saw"
| was sitting up in tree down in the
field eating a hen. Mr.. Carpenter
took his gun and went to investigate
and soon classified the bird as brown
eagle. When at distance of about
fifteen yards he blazed away with his
gun and put bullet through the
birds body. The eagle then flew from
the tree and was about to SwOOp down
! on Mr.. Carpenter when he winged it
With another shot. After clubbing
it with fence rail and practically
disabling it, Mr.. Carpenter and his
frieod took hold of it by the wings
and carried it to the house. Mrs.
| Carpenter thoughtlessly caught hold
of one of its talons 20 see if the bird
was dead and very quickly found out
that it was not. The bird closed his
claws on her hand and drove his nails
clear through the flesh, one of the
points appearing on the opposite side.
After she was released the bird was
dispatched for sure. He had just
eaten a brood of chickens for Mr.
NewOy, a neighbor, and was just
devouring the old hen when Mr.. Car
penter disturbed him. The bird
measured eight feet three inches from
tip to tip, and his talons had stretch
of seven and one-half inches. This is
the first eagle that has been seen in
that vicinity for yearS.-Stevens
