Shoes to Last a Lifetime.

Say, Mr.. Shoedealer, would you rather
have your customers speak Of your shoes
as wearing well, as not running down at
the heel, as turning water, and taking a
shine; or wag their heads and say moth
ing?
We'd rather have ours, at long inter-
walls, say: ave want some more paint,
and we want Devoe." We know it ism t
in human nature to paint very often; we
don't expect them to come very often
don't want 'em to. All we want is to
paint what they have to paint, when
ever they paint it; the longer the time,
the surer they are to comeback. There S
business enough in the world There
are houses enough to paint; let 'em
take their time.
If we were shoemaker, we'd make
shoes to last half lifetime and shoe
the whole town.

First Shot Breaks His Back, but She
Pumpts Twenty Two More In Him.

SPOKANE, Aug. 27.-Miss Pearl Ed
die, one of the last years graduates Of
the Spokane high school, is receiving
the congratulations of her friends on
a piece of daring and bravery a few
days ago.
Miss Eddy was camping on ger

Idaho, when on going out of her tent
one morning she discovered a large
cougar in the path.
Returning, she secured her 22-rifie,
the only weapon she had, and took a
shot at the animal. The first ball hit
him in the back and broke the back
bone.
With the animal writing and howl
ing in his agony, she calmly proceeded
to pump lead into him until his strug
giles ceased and now she has a fine
cougar skin as a mementO. The ami
NAL measured nine feet from nose to
tip of tail.
