THE LATEST IN SHOES.
Result of Years of Experiences IN
Shoe Designing and Perfected
Methods Of Manuf acture.

Honorbilt" and Western Lady"
are the names of two new shoes
which are conceded to reach the
height of perfection in shoe making.
The successful originator of these
two lines of perfect shoes is the F.
Mayer Boot & Shoe Co. Of Milwau-
kee, Wis. This name will be suf-
fcient to assure most of our readers
of the quality of these goods. A
great many are already familiar
with the high standing and good
wearing features of Mayer shoes,
while thousands have been i'm
pressed by the straight forward,
persistent advertising done by this
firm in all the principal publications
throughout the country.
Mayer shoes have high stand
ing among shoe dealers and are
recommended by them as giving the
greatest satisfaction of any shoes in
the market. The new shoes will
surpass IN style fit and durability
anything the Mayer Boot & Shoe
Co. has ever placed on the market.
In announcing the new lines, it is
hoped that every reader will take
careful note of the advertisements
of Honorbilt" and Western Lady"
shoes and when next in need of
shoes, make request upon the
dealer for one of these new brands.
The "Honorbilt" for men is that
substantial, hobby and fashionable
kind that every man who is at all
DESTROYS of being we'll dressed will
search for Made in variety of
designs, for exclusive business or
dress wear, or as appropriate for all
uses, it has features that appeal to
every man.
The Western Lady" for women
will quickly become recognized as
the most proper shoe for ladies as
it embodies all that appeals to a
woman when she seeks the ideal
shoe for her use. The beautiful de-
sign and graceful lines delight the
fastidious taste of the fair sex.
Made from the softest, select upper
feathers and the most flexible and
durable sole feathers, they are en-
dowed with wearing and comfort
qualities that afford a world of sat
isfaction.
If your dealer does not happen
to have the ''Honorbilt or Western
Lady" shoes to show you write to
the F. Mayer Boot & Shoe Co., Mil
waukee, Wis, and they will inform
you where to get them.

The battleship Connecticut, the
first of it's class to be built by the
government, was recently launched
at the government navy yard.
Officials say the government cannot
build these ships as cheaply as pri-
vate companies can. One of the
reasons given is the statute making
eight hours days work in the
government service when private
companies exact nine or ten hours.

AT II AGAIN
J. R. Rollins Tries to BuncO
 PrnitentiarY Warden

Not even the stone walls and iron bolted windows of the United States penitentiary at McNeil island could dampen the ardor of the irrepressible Skagwayan, J. R. Rollins, of tungsten fame. Rollins has been trying to sell his tungsten ore mines to the warden and other officers of the penitentiary. Whether he was impelled to this action by desire to confirm his claim to the title of prince of fakirs, whether it was because he regarded the warden as something easy, or whether it was simply the result of force of habit, does not clearly appear. The story is told by F. T. Keelar, who got it from John G. Price, formerly of this city, and an old time friend of the warden of the penitentiary at McNeil island.
 Mir. Price, so the story goes, not long ago received an invitation to visit his old friend, the warden, at McNeil isl- and. After viewing the premises, and taking a look at numerous Alaskans who are now making their home with the warden on the little island in the sound near Tacoma, the warden took MT. Price into his private office, and addressed him, in substance, as follows;
 "John, we have been put onto one of the biggest mining propositions in the country. It is simply great. A man who is serving a sentence in the peni- tentiary here, is the owner of some very rich tungsten bearing lodes in Alaska. He has dozens of claims, and the ores are worth s4OO a ton. Now, l have known you a long time, you have Alaskan connections, and we will let you in our company upon the same terms we here in the office went in.
 eve have already incorporated our company and have raised the money to develop the property"
 About this time the story began to sound familiar to Mir. Price, who asked:
 "Who is the convict mine owner and where is his property?"
 "J. R. Rollins" said the warden. "He comes from Skagway near which place his mines are located. He is one of the directors of our company"
 '"If you will look up your records, ' said Mir. Price, "you will find that J' R. Rollins is here in the penitentiary for interesting people in skagway in this same scheme of which you think so much"
 The warden said that Rollins had been a trusty and living on yellow leg ged chicken for weeks, "but," he ad- ded, che will learn something of the manual labor now. We will have no favors for him during the remainder of his three and half years" Mr. Price was admonished to keep the matter a secret, but he refused to prom ise.

The administration wishes to do nothing that would further exasperate the Canadians on account of the boun- diary decision, and for that reason steps looking to the definite marking of the new boundary line may be deferred un- till next year.
 The urgent deficiency bill, as passed by the house and senate; contains an appropriation oislOOOOO to pay the ex- penses of making the necessary survey and erecting the necessary monuments. It was expected that the admininistra- tion would ask for this appropriation, and there was no opposition in con- gress.
