We've climbed high enough on the
shoe ladder to see few things.
Shoe sales which seem like easy
money may prove expensive luxurles
if your standard is high both for mer-
chandise and veracity.
For some years we've had oc-
casional shoe sales; our manufactur-
ers' samples of S. shoes, some big lots
made specially, and our own odd lots.
Values have been unusual and the
response to our advertisements most
generous.
In short the sales have been very
successful for every one concerned,
except ourselves.
When this light broke ON us after
our sale of S. shoes at $3.50 last
month, we decided that the sooner we
got down to regular business the bet
ter off we'd be.
So we rounded up every odd lot,
every manufacturers sample, every
thing of the sort we owned.
100 pairs OF 80 shoes.
225 pairs of $3.50 shoes.
525 pairs of So shoes.
They all go on sale to-day at y
the last shoe-sale we expect to have
under present shoemaking conditions,
except minor clearanceS of odd lots
from our own shelves.
High shoes and low, lace and but
ton, all sorts of feathers and all sizes.

MOTHERS WARNED TO KEEP BOYS
FROM THEATERS AND ARCADES

The cigarette habit, the penny ar
cade and the cheap vaudeville theaters
do more to ruin boys than anything
else, according to Chief Probation Off
Ger A. c. Dodd.
Mr.. Dodd gave talk yesterday be-
fore the Highland Park Child Study
circle, speaking on the Protection of
the Child"
The speaker said that the home must
be made attractive if the boys are to
be kept off the street and spoke of
the negligence of parents in this line.
"The beginning of delinquency is
truancy," said he. 1.-THE boy who plays
truant from school is the delinquent
in after life.
TOO many mothers want to make
the state a nursery for their children.
They throw the children on the state
and expect them to be taken care Of.
The boys are allowed to run on the
streets and that is the beginning OF
the end.
THE boys form the cigarette habit.
the vaudeville theater and the penny
arcade attract them, and these three
will do more to ruin them than any
thing else.

immortal bard; tbs pity that all he
wrote is imperishable.
Probably with the material at hand
the superfiuity rather than the lack
of it-Mr. Mansfield did the best he
could. But even the genius and ability
that he himself is disposed to credit to
himself, could not make of Don Car
los an interesting evening. The audi
ence gaped and coughed and was rest
less, and left, in spots, all through the
later acts.
OF course. the Mansfield acting in
the play was as good as ever. But he
has no scope for anything of conse-
quence. In the title role he has so few
opportunities for his powers that one,
not being told that he possessed eX-
traordinary ability, would never guess
it. In measure, however, his COM
pany does better in this than in any
thing so far presented, and charity
makes one wonder if Mansfield really
retains this play to give his support
a chance.
But those who know Mansfield don't
believe this.
OF his support Miss Florence Rock
well comes to the front splendidly. She
has considerable chance and she takes
all that is offered. AS the faithful but
doubted queen she has a Semi-tragic
role which she fills to the last cry. Her
beauty is effulgent; her grace is fine
and her acting lacks nothing of luster.
even when her scenes are with the
star himself. Eleanor Barry as the
treacherous princess is quite as good
as in her former roles, and thus two
of the famous quartet of leading
women gave a grace and reason to and
for the play that 1t would not other
wise have possessed.
OF the men Clarence Handysides
was a good priest, Fuller Mellish was
