4 MODERN HAMLET.

wherein Hawthorne TaA AlSln to
the 4EeIaRrholy Dane.
Certain characteristics OF hawthorne
are. of course, indisputaDle, aud 1t is
not fantastic TO add Tint some Of these
qualities bear Il curious resemblance to
those OF that very Prince OF Denmark
who seems more real to us than do
most living men. Hawthorne was u
aud graeed with noble mind Like
Hamlet, he loved 10 discourse with M
lettered people. with wandering artists,
with local hulnorists. although without
ever losing his own dignity and inyiola
bile reserve lie had irony for the pre-
tantious, kindness for the simple heart
ed. merciIess wit for the fools He
liked to speculate about men and Won
en-, about temptation and sin and pun
fshrnent. but he rema ized, like Hamlet.
clear sighted enough to distinguish he
tween the thing in itself and the thini;
as it appeared to him in his solitude
and melancholy. IIis closest friends
Ike IIoratio Bridge and William u.
TIcknor. were mon of marked jus
tice and sanity of mind-of the true
Ioratio type. Hawthorne was capable.
= need be. of passionate and swift ac-
ton for all his gentleness and exquisite
courtesy of demeanor. Toward the
last lac had. like Hamlet, his forebod-
sIlgs-..such kind Of gain giving as

stocks. but one couldn't pass an air
of for a party dress, especially when
the annual ball Of the Golden Fleece
was the event of the season in that
social circle of which Tim Mccarthy.
foreman and contractor prospective.
was an acknowledged leader.
And Norah loved Tim. She had told
him so at his very urgent request some
months before, and they had agreed TO
wait patiently and decently until Tins
two young sisters had become self sup
porting and the lover could afford to
set up an establishment OF his own Mt
a safe distance from the noisy fiat oc-
cupled by his widowed mother and her
brood.
Norah, too, had her responsibilities
Her father was one of those happily
constituted individuals who believed
that the world owed him living, ana
it happened that from his point of view
Just now Norah represented the world.
And when ones mother sprains her
wrist and cannot make buttonholes for
three weeks and ones little brother is
so inconsiderate as to contract stub
born attack OF measles one may not
lay up money for bali gowns.
So Norah prayed In the firm belief
that the Mother of Sorrows, who had
answered her petition for her own
mothers recovery two years back nj
the hospital, would incline her ear to so
personal a request as a new dress.
The answer came in less than ten
minutes Norah scurried around the
corner md plunged into the lunch-tidc
throng which filled Broadway from
window to curb. A man jostled her
rudely, and with the true womanly in
stinct she turned to the nearest win
dow to sec whether her hat was on
straight. The window held nothing
but paper, Grape paper, tissue paper,
stamped paper, paper shades for
lamps, paper flowers, paper frames
and paper dolls.
Norah forgot her hat, and her ar
tistlc eye rejoiced In the wealth OF
dainty colorings. She had never dream
ed that paper came In such beautiful
patterns. Why, they looked just like
silk Grape, and there was piece of VIC
let brocaded paper for all the world
like the brocaded waist Miss Hagan,
their foreladS, had worn at the Christ
mas ball given by the Rosenberg en-
ployees.
Then Norah gasped. Her hand clos
ed convulsiveIy over her purse. 1t
held a dollar that she could spare.
Norah shut her eyes for just an in
slant, as IL the thought made her dizzy.
Then with very pink checks and her
head held high she marched into the
store
'Yes; we have 1t in pink-the bro
cade, you mean? Twenty cents roll.

And Norah was again speeding up
the street, her eyes very bright and

her arm.

hlse and Progress Of .4odern Special
 ty in Shoe Supplies.

hlse and Progress of .,Aodern Special
 ty in Shoe Supplies.
 It was not so many years ago. said dealer in shoe supplies. "that you saw in every cobbler's slop a slde or sole leather, or. it might be, a roll of such leather standing over in the corner. the stock from which he cut his supply of soles. as he needed thena, in repairing shoes. But now rom many thousands of such shops this once familiar figure has dis D. peared. Instead. the cobbler buys soles already cut out.
 out soles are made in a great val rtety of sizes and shapes. The cob bier can now buy cut soles and got exactly what he wants for less than ne can buy the leather and cut them out himself.
 About fifty per cent of the cob blers of New York and this part of the country now buy cut soles; in the south now about 25 per cent buy them. Tn the west about 75 ner cent of the cnbblers buy them. They are apparently more progressive there than neople of the east.
 "This is acco"nted for. I suppose, by the fact that there are more new communities there, and towns start. ing now are likely to start with every hing modern. If you are going to in. stall new plant of any sort you would put in the very latest styles of machinery, while in the older commu- mites they cling to the old ways.
 "And in the west. too, cut soles are sold to people who mend their own shoes Taking them altogether, in all parts of the country. there are mary thousands who do this,
 "There are plenty of people living scattered about tha land who would have to go twenty-five. fifty, seventy five miles to get cobbler. and this wouldn't pay. Or they may mend their own shoes for economv's sake.
 "In the old times the farmer, or other head of family who did this work had for 1t an inlnrovised set of tools. But in these days he buys a household set Of cobbler's tools.
 ''In no trade has there been q oreafer advance than in that of shoe nan,lfacturing. And no trade has been more highly specielized. For ex- ample. there are concerns that make eothing but shoe counters. and other concerns that turn out nothing but boot and shoe heels: and the"e is one Tig western concern that makes noth- ing but kits of cobHlers' tools turning out of household kits and other sorts T carload day.
 "A good many kits of cobblers' too1s? Yes lot I know. but this is a big country with lots of people in it, and there are other lands to supply.
 "Well. the farmer or other man who mends his own shoes buys in these days household kit of cob bIers' tools. and he can also buy cut soles, getting just what he wants, and all handy to use"
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-03-16

Editorially, Editor Troup was as mum as the proverbial oyster in last nights issue of his paper so far as the meeting of the state central committee was concerned. It was somewhat surprising. too, considering the unceremonious manner in which his friend Colonel Osborn, was bounced from that committee meet ing. If the Union would only hoist the Parker flag, what rejoicing there would be. Come. neighhor, whoop 'er up, throw consternation into the republican camp by throwing the inr fuence of your paper for Parker for president, or if you prefer an out and out democrat with no taint of uncer- tainty about him, say the word for German.
