IL you never had one, you ought
to try one" replied the clerk, with the
air of a philosopher. How do you
know you won't like it, If you have not

would not be without one for the

its original shape and"
That's just why 1 don't want it,H
roared the customer, provoked beyond

natured audacity of the clerk; that's
Just the way don't want 1t. I want
the shoe to have the shape that my
foot gives it, and no other shape under
the sun. Why do you persist in trying
to sell me thing that don't want?'
Il am only trying to sell you things
that you ought to have. 1 am giving

Here the customer pulled on his old
shoes and moved toward the door.

he said:
II will go down to Olyphant-Jenkins
and pay a dollar more than you charge
for the same kind of shoes, and they
will not insist upon my buying pair
of skates or q chiropodist outfit. They
sell you what you want, not what
they think you should have. They are
there to do business and not to save

EAGLE HUNTING IN
THE ALPINE PEAKS
Climbers Have Fierce Encounters
With Parent Birds and Experience

With Parent Birds and experiences
Many Marrow Escapes
Special Cable to The Herald
GENEVA, Aug. 12s-1agle hunting in
the Alps is a perilous and exciting
sport which is just now in season, and
beginning to attract the attention of
English as well as Swiss sportsmen.
During the last few days scores Of
plucky climbers have been trying to
scale the almost inaccessible rocks on
which the nests of the eagles are built,
in the hope OF capturing eagles. In
the Burmese, Oberland and In the Girls
ons, their efforts have led to some
savage encounters with the parent
eagles, and to some wonderful escapes.
In the Engadine an English sports
man has captured fine young eagle
in the Val Chamuera. The next was
on the face of an almost unclimbable
rock protected from above by an over
hanging cliff. After some perilous
climbing the spot was at length
reached from below, and, after severe
tussle, the young bird was captured,
securely bound and safely lowered. In
the nest were the remains of a fifty
pound chamois and three marmots. be-
sides quantity Of bones, feathers and
fur. This is the twelfth eagle which
this climber has already captured and
he describes the sport as one of the
most exciting that he knows.
At Entlebuch a mountaineer scaled a
rocky peak and succeeded in securing
two eagles, when the parent birds at
tackled him with such violence that he
fell from the rock and was badly in
jured. One of the old birds was, how
ever, shot by spectator. 1t measured
over seven feet across the wings.
Near Oberbergil two peasants se-
cured fine eaglet while the parent
birds were absent from the eyrie by
descending on swinging rope 1000 feet
over the face of an overhanging presi-
pice. In the nest were part of a lamb
small pig, several large fowls and an
enormous store of bones of birds and
animals.

The Republicans are well organized

If Utah expects to maintain its
place among the states of the west in
material advancement. She must
zealously guard her interests at the
national capitol. A full representation
in house and senate is imperative to
properly safeguard those interests.
The mission of Furious ]. Cannon in

calculated to deprive Utah of one-third
of that representation. Furious j. is
the right bower of the American"
party here in Utah and is working that
party to advance the interests of his
un-American and disloyal mission
Voters who have any interest in the
future welfare of Utah should think
twice before they cast vote for such
a cause.
