SHOES AT $1,000 A PAIR.
Physician CObbIer of New York who
Has Stuck to Ills Last to
Some Purpose.

Shoes selling at 81 0O9 a pair are the
product of factory in New York.
To style it shop would be to insult
the artisans employed therein.
They call it 'footgear institute. .
and the proprietor goes by no less a title
than curative orthopedist." saws the
New York Herald.
The wearing of these 81 .OOe shoes is,
In the main, a hobby, and is based on
nerves gone wrong.
For there are some persons. it seems.
who are plagued with sensitive nerves
In their feet which ache so excruciat-
ingly. that nothing can assuage the pain
but shoes prescribed" by a physician
cobbIer
The learned cobbler listens to a tale
OF the ache. with attending nervous dis
turbances, and examines the patients
feet with critical scrutiny.
Every hill and dale of the foot is in
spected and studied. and especially is
a sharp lookout kept for the sensitive
nerves. which ultimately are sure to be
found.
A volume of notes is taken and the
prospective customer naturally be-
comes impressed with the severity of
his ailment.
Next. and what is very important. a
plaster cast of the foot is taken. and if
the patients purse is proportioned to
his plant the physician-cobbler is apt
to enter new order in his book.

An act of usefulness is the object Of
reflection. It Is time well spent with
out the need of questioning. An act Of
kindness may be useless. merely an i'm
pulse that is regardless of the result.
Let us strive to understand the lives of
others, to put ourselves in the place of
others, enough to perform intelligently
acts Of kindness that will appeal to
them. The better we know ourselves
the more capable we are Of understand
ing the thoughts of others. AS we grow
more selfzreliant intelligently, we be-
come more tolerant, Let us. strive to
see from each others standpoint.
There are so many ways of usefulness
that we can find them anywhere.-De-

BURGLAR ASKS HELP.
And the Victim Was Glad fs Exssnd
 a H&Ipima Hand.

In March, 1902, the cottage of John .. Taylor at SaybroOk was broken into. as were several other cottages or1 Obed's Heights. Mfr Taylor "can1ned c1l the tTaiP' of the burglars and in AprE had both of them landed iii state prison. One of Mir Taylor's pet peIio- logical theories is that celeTfty and cer- tainty of punishment are equal at Ieast, to severity, as il dete ' eH1t force, While there was ample evidence to have convicted the burglars on several indictments, he advised that they be proceeded against on but one charge, as they were young men.
 Yesterday a young man called at his office at Hartford and asked for as- sistance. Mir Taylor engaged him ir, conversation, and finally asked:
 What were you sent to state prison for?''
 The young fellow promptly replied: For committing burglary on your house, sir.''
 "So you are one of the young rascals who broke into my house, are youf We'll, well, am right glad to see you Come ir1 and sit down" said Mr lay. Tor.
 The young fellow, who is yet under Fl, went in and explained to Mr Tay4 iOr what his hopes and plans were, The plans did not seem quite feasibiR bus NIT Taylor told him that he wished to help him on his feet, and that if he would only go straight he would bS sure to succeed at something. Mean while Mir Taylor said he should be pro- yfded with board. and some articles Of clothing. and at the end of week re4 port to Mfr Taylor, who encouraged him by telling him how well his former pal" was getting on.
 He had obtained q parole some months ago and Mir Tayor had assisted in getting him work, and lie was as steady as q clock, and well liked by his lie was studying evenings to become an engineer, and had com. pletely. reversed his former habits.

The department of finance met yes- serday afternoon and laid plans for tome more special appropriations. This lime $500 is wanted for the city court md similar amount for law expenses. Tn addition to these items a transfer of $25O from ''state roads" to election expenses was provided for. Ihese matters will come up at a special meet. Ing of the aldermen. At the last ses- sion of the aldermen Chairman Blakes- lee reminded Alderman Murray, who was finding fault abaut so many spes elal anpropriations, that the present administration had not exceeded even one of its appropriations. Everybody thought the alderman from the fourth would ask the chair how approprla- Hons could be exceeded when they were being constantly fatted up bS transfers and special appropriatl tlons, but he didn't do 1t. Probably the alder, man felt there was no use in calling attention to something that everybody knew.

IS SHE iitE. DEVERE ?
Hrs. (. L. Chadwick Reported Iaden-
 siGed as E1econvlcs.

CLEVELAND, O., Dec. 16.--It is rs ported here that Mrs. Chadwick has been identified as Mime. Devere by Mrs. Flora Kissfngef and her daughter fla-Iaw, Mrs. L. M. Kissingsr, both of wlibnp were employed in the Ohio peai' tAntiafyi tt the time Mime. Devere waA serving her sentence there. .
 The report says that tho two wo- men were taken to the woman's cell and given long look at her. Both said they recognized her as the sane wonan who had been under their ob- ssrvation dozen years ago.
 Mrs. Chadwick in the county Jail re- ceived several 7isitB from her attor. neys, held long conferences with them convefsed with newspaper men and for fifteen minutes stood face to face with President Beekwith of the ObeF- lin bank, who has come to such great trouBie through his financial tansac. tions with her.
 The meeting was dramatic. The aged banker had been Tor hours before the county grand jury, went to the ofice of Sheri1 Barry and asked if he might see Mrs. Chadwick. The sheriff readily consented, and Mrs. Chadwick was ca ger to meet him. Accompanied By Mrs, Beckwith, the aged banker made his way slowly ana 'fSeb1y up the long flights UR iron stairs leading to Mrs. Chadwick's cell She met him at the entrance Of the corridor ana shook hands with him cordially. After some general conversation Mfr. BeckWith re felred to their business relations by saying: s'Mrs. Chadwick, you have rti- ined me, but Pm not so sure yet you are fraud. I have stood py you to my last dollar, and do think now that the time has come for you to make known everything in relation to this thing"
 Beckwith's voice betrayed deep emo- ton as he spoke, and he leaned heavily on the arm Of his wife, who was al- most compelled to support him, so great was his physical weakness. Mrs. Chadwick did not reply directly to the words of MT. Beckwith, but her man, ner and the look on her face were not conciliatory.
 An application for an additional re- ceiver for the Chadwick estate has been made in the common pleas court by the Savings Deposit Banking and Trust company of Elyria, O., which has brought suit against Mrs Chad wick on two notes of $25, GOO and $1O,. 900 respectively.
 Mrs. Chadwick has retained the att torney who is to conduct her defense when she is called for trial in the fed eral court. He is J. P Dawtey, one of the leading criminal lawyers Of Cleve- land. sheldon @. Kerruish will assist MT. Dawley.

DOCTORS LEARNED TERMS
Call DSwh FroD Secretary Of Stato G Health Board,

In the monthly bulletin for Novern- Der issued by the state board of ! health, Secretary 1indsley, iii a note recomm ending to town clerks the pur- chase of a medical dictio1iary, takes little fling at over-learned physt. clans. He says:
 Again q few doctors in writing certificates of the causes of death, try to display their scientific lore by employing unusual words instead of those in common use. For example, 'nephrism" which means nothing more than kidney disease; "cardiog+ mus," nearing heart disease; ''gas- troxynsis," for dyspepsia; ''cephalop- yosis," for abcess in the head; "cep- halaemia,' for congestion of the brain. Doctors. who make special study for these learned terms are sometimes illiterate when they try to write Eng iSh. Such words puzzle the town clerks who have to transcriba rhcT1, and as doctors are not 1lsttngN shed for legtble penmanship, and are habit ual1y given to abbreviations.. the copies made by the registrars someS times record causes Of death not found in any language living or dead.
 Tie bulletin shows that during the IuOHIA@ IlGESr W0FS 4sADOh s&1Sdb4SS n1uG less than iii October and thirteen less than in November of last year and seventy-One more than the average for the i've years preceding. The, t1eathrate was 14.T for the large towns. 1928 for the small towns and 14.2 for the whole state. The death rate from infectious diseases was 10.2 per cent of the total mortality, or 11S deaths.
 During October there were 1.609 living births and 926 marriages. The. mortality in public institutions was; 1n Bridgeport IT, in Hartford s1, in 8fiddletown 21, in New Haven 40, in Norwalk 6, and in other cities one or two each. Thirty three towns report ed no mortality ofNany kind. Tn Hart ford county East Glanby and New fneton failed to report. 1n Middlesex county Middlefield and MiddIetown did not report. Iii To1land county, Bolton and Vernon failed, and in Lttchfeld, Washington.

SURPRISE PARTY.
AmbusAsrs Surprised Themselves
 AS Governor Was Late.

NIeriden. Dec 16.-lSome half q hun dred of those who went with Cover nor Chamberlain to St Louis Il few months ago had planned a surprise party for the governor for last night ct his home here. The party was held and it was q surprise, but 1t did not go Off as planned. and the surprise was as much on the surprisers as o1l the surprised.
 All the tnix-up WAS due to the breaking down of an engine i'll Thomp- sonyilIe. Governor Chamberlain was ln Hartford yesterday afternoon, but expected to leave there at IO2 o'clock and be here in time for a late dinner He was at Union station there at that time. but he sat thinking about his dinner until almost g o'clock berore the train arrived and left again. A cyIinder head on the engine had blown out at ThompsonyiIle, so that the shall freight engine had to pun the heavy train into Hartford at the rate of i've miles an hour.
 Meanwhile the party of ambushers had descended on the quiet Chamber lain home as surreptftiously as If they were going to rob the Home bank and GXD&eblQEe lo uA8tA 6ASAA e445 5eSkIN~ AA-ee5 victim within. They were surprised. A skirnlisher was then sent out to hnd what the trouble was. He reported back that the train with the governor aboard would be in about 9:15 o'clock, 90 all enjoyed themselves for an hour In, the governors house.
 As 9:15 o'clock approached all the lights were extingnished and the fifty sat in darkness waiting. Talking and snickaring was allowed until finally the governors footsteps were heard upon the stairs. The state executive put his key in the lock without any trouble and pushing open the door was just starting in when popf up went every light in the place and the surprised crowd of surprisers sur prised the governor
 During the evening there were, two presentations. X chest of sterling sill yer was given to Governor and Mrs Chamberlain and m ivory baton to the latter alone. Tl1e significance of this gift was that on the western trip the party often indulged in singing oId.tirne songs which Mrs ChamDer lain led in oId-time fashion by waving her arms or book. She proved so successful as conductor that it was thought she deserved the regular to7 ken of the profession
