ItaIy's Industrial Advance.

Not many people in the United
States are fully aware of how rapidly
Italy is advancing in industrial i'm
portance. In some way northern
Italy mas in the last ten years shown
as promising development in an in
dustrial way as is to be found any
where in Europe. The never-failing
water supply Of the snow-topped noun
tains is being utilized by the electri-
cal engineers in way which promises
to convert northern Italy into a great
industrial state. Nowhere in Europe is
there a population better fitted to aid
in an industrial development The
people are exterous, quick to learn
and Industrious, and up to the present
time the general wage scale COM
pares favorably with that of any COM
petitors which they have to meet. The
result of these favorable conditions
has been. for instance, the develop
ment of the silk industry at a rate
which sounds like statistics Of Ameri-
can industrial growth Scribner's.

Seeking the Large Life.

The habit which many women have
formed, and from which they appar
emily do not attempt to secure free
dom, of devoting the larger portion OF
their time and thoughts to the trivial
things of life, robs them of the capa-
city of enjoying or assimilating much
which would add to intellectual
growth. The woman who sees moth
ing but the four walls of her abiding
place often quite naturally becomes
narrow in her thoughts. She even
lacks the incentive to commune with
great minds through reading.
But interest in that which best
serves humanity should not be limited
by the lines of sex. AS woman's op,
portunities open she is quick to place
herself in touch with all the active
forces which make for the betterment
of neutrality-suspicious.

HlGH-PRICED SHOES.

Plenty of Them are Made in New
York and not for Cripple Feet Either.
New York Sun.-Men's shoes such
as the wearer may display to crit
ical public without fear or shame sell
in New York at prices varying from
$3.50 to $1,000 pair. Everybody has
seen the shoes that sell at $40 or $12
a pair downward. Comparatively few
few have seen those that sell for 5000
a pair upward.
Naturally, shoes at $1,000 pair are
made ito order. They are not neces-
sarily made to fit the deformed feet.
The rule of some shoomakers, like
that of some doctors, is to charge all
that the traffic will bear A man with
a difficult and delicate foot and plenty
of money went to a fashionable shoe
maker, after careful examination of
the customers feet and a mental
calculation as to his probable willing
ness and ability to pay high price,
answered.:
81 will make your first pair of shoes
for $500. After that will make you
pair at any time and in any style for
$780,"
Shoemaker and customer comprO
missed on a price about half that pro-
posed for the first pair of shoes, but
the customer made not attempt to
bring down the price Of subsequent
pairs. He knew $50 pair to be the
regular price of the shop, and one that
in his case at least would not be da-
parted from.
There are other shoemakers who
charge wealthy and fastidious custom
ers with troublesome feet 5000 for the
first pair of shoes. Some hundreds of
New Workers are probably paying reg
ularly $50 for every pair of shoes that
they have made. Some of the shoe
makers who get such prices from rich
customers make shoes for other GUS
toners at $40 or $12 pair.
In the case of the customers who
pay the highest price the shoemaker
makes a cast for each foot and, OF
course, a last for each. He makes a
special last even i'm the case of the
customers who pay his lowest price.
Into the $50 shoes he also puts the
best workmanship and materials. It
is not pretended that the making of
the casts and the lasts costs any
large proportion of the price of $50
shoes. The value of this last, how
ever, is "a considerable part of the cost
of the cheapest shoes made at such
shop.
Some persons believe that the
greater part Of the cost of a $50 pair
of shoes is a mere fad and humbUg,
and it is true that the purchasers of
such shoes are usually women to
money is a matter of no consequence.
Some of the most expensive shoes
such as cost from 5000 to $1,000 for
the first pair made, are ordered by
hard-headed business men who are &C
customed to look pretty keenly to the
price of what they buy or sell.

Hawk, Fox anil Man Claim Quail.

Dr.. William Rowland of Pasadena,
who was up at Middle Ranch quail
shooting a few days prior to the close
of the season, had most unique ex-
perience. He ran upon covey of
quail and, flushing them, dropped one
with his left barrel, and then, at con-
siderable of an angle, dropped another
with the right barrel. Turning to his
first bird he was just in time to see
q fox snatch it up and start to run
way with it. Quickly pumping an
other cartridge into his gun, he let
the fox have it, knocking him stiff.
After accommodating minute and find
ing his first bird, he was returning to
pick up the second when something
shot down like an arrow from the
skies in front of him, the object prov
ing. tc be an osprey.
The quail had been wounded, and it's
futtering attracted the attention of
the big hawk. which while sailing
through the ether had an eye out for
g quail dinner, and darting upon the
hunter out of his quarry. DR.. Row
land, while amazed at the turn Of
events, did not propose to stanl for
such a play, and training his ready
gun on the bold robber, with a pull of
the trigger put him out of commits
sion, and saved both his BIRDS

snowbirds From Artic Regions.

Hunters and sportsmen here have
been considerably exercised for the
last few days owing to the appearance
of strange fiocks of birds. Today a
flock of seventy-five passed over this
city in northerly direction.
Game Warden James Maloy. who is
a specialist on birds, when asked, pro-
nounced them a species of Arctic
snowbirds, which never migrate to this
section unless in extreme cold
weather. They are snow white, and
very pretty warblers-Hazelton Core

WISCONSIN LEGISLATURE

Madison, April Ex-Governor La
Toilette submitted lengthy special
message to the legislature, reciting the
inadequacy of laws for the protection
Of persons travelling on railroad trains,
giving statistics of accidents to pas
sengers and employees, also stating
that the railroads incompletely and in
accurately report accidents and sup
press facts concerning wrecks, and
strongly urging the legislature to enact
sufficient statutes to compel the rail-
roads to more adequately equip their
trains with safety appliances and also
to give injured persons more adequate
remedy in damages against railroad
corporations.
The Warner civil service merit bill
was ordered to engrossment and third
reading in the assembly by a vote OF
G. to %. The Ragatz amendment,
which required all present holders of
Jobs to compete in the examinations
for their positions, was killed by
vote of 33 to g. Action on this
amendment came after a spirited de-
bate in which Captain Pliny Norcross
argued ably for the amendment, as for
the good of the service and not to the
disadvantage of those who have been
placed in positions by reason of politi-
cal or factional service. Mr.. Warner,
Duncan McGregor and others opposed
the amendment on the ground that
the present officials were appointed
for specific terms and ought not to
be disturbed if 'fair DEAF be given
them. The La Crosse normal school
site bill, appropriating $4,000, was
finally passed and will go back to the
senate for concurrence in the as
sembly amendment reducing the ap-
preparation from $4,000.
The senate killed a bill to repeal
the BARRIERS license law.

'Do not" she says, with playful
shake of the head Believe me. that

Dlacllly in your eyes. Let the past
rest, Heron, and take May as she is,
And l am quite sure she is pretty
enough to make one forget her past. |
quite love her for standing so woman
ly to her colors. A girl with anything
less than her spirit would have re
treated before such an attack"
''You are right" he said warmly.
"She has been cruelty used, poor
child"
A jealous, malicious sheer distorts
the beautiful face. which is hidden for
moment behind the screen she rails
es
Never mind" she says, ''she will
have her reward"
''In marrying me, do you mean?"
says with self-scorn.
I'm becoming mistress of the Void" :
He starts as if he had been stung.
It is not the actual words. but the
tone, the good-natured commingling of
pity and contempt, that says as plain
ly as words can say it, that May is
marrying-not for love-not for love
Of him, but for rank and position.
With the same smile she looks down
at him; she has arisen and stands,
tall and queenly, by his side, and MUIR
murs:
Heron, I hope you will be happy.
It is curious that should have hap
pened to be here just at this time; /
don't know how it is, but l feel in
tensely interested in this matter-but
we are something like relations,
aren't we? Very-very-distan
ones. You must let me look upon
you as brother-or a cousin, shall
We say? Yes, do wish that you may
be happy?" and she smiles just as
one smiles wneE one wishes for some
thing that is quite impossible of at
Iainment.
Thanks" he says, Eat any rate, |
shan't forget your kindness. You bave
been aWfully kind
"You must let me come to your
wedding" she says II think | will
go now" and she holds out her hand.
He takes it and holds it. 1t is warm
now and soft. smooth fingers seem to
cling around his. There is always a
ranteless, understandable delight in
holding such hand, even when it lies
coldly in ones palm; but when it
clings and presses with that silent
eloquence which woman's hand is
capable of it exerts a fascination
which is difficult to resist.
Heron looks up and as he does so
her eyes meet his with gentle, half
abashed tenderness. He often fancies
that they are moist; certainly kind
of spell falls over him.
Goodnight" he says, and as he
rises he raises the hand to his lips.
In an instant a crimson flush suf-
fuses her face and neck, and she
draws the hand away, but not till he
feels the warm fingers close around
his with a sudden pressure.
A moment after she has gone, and
Heron, with start, shakes off the
spell; but hours elapse, as he sits
over the fire, before he can dispel the
effect which her softly voiced suspi-
ciors have insinuated into his mind.
But at last he succeeds, helped
thereto by the vision of Mays pure, in
nocent face, and goes to bed and to
sleep, long before the beauty has
ceased to toss to and fro in the self
torture of unrequited love and
envious jealousy.
To be continued.

long parliamentary fight in the as
sembly resulted in the recall OF the
Thayer option bill from the senate,
the vote being SO to 81. The
significant changes in the vote OF
Tuesday, by which the bill was passed,
were the turning of Assemblyman Cur
tiss of Kenosha against the measure
and the arrival of Assemblyman ALL
bridge, Milwaukee socialist, who was
absent Thursday. These two gave the
brewers an advantage. 1t was at
tempted to reconsider and kill the bill
at once, but Assemblyman Thayer
gave notice that he would insist upon
speaking for his measure and would
insist upon all members being present
and voting, if necessary moving =
call of the house. This blocked mat
tiers and it was finally decided to take
a recess until evening to finally settle
the controversy.

"Rumors?" he says, gnawing his
nustache and frowning at the fire as
the barbed arrows insinuate them
selves into his mind. "Rumors-her
past life-a flirt!" he mutters, and be-
fore him rise the recollection of the
