Lost Keys in Theaters.

If the stories of the box offices are true
more punches of keys are lost in theaters

An hour later the woman presented her.

office directed her to the lost and found

Don't they? replied the man in the

Wooden Shoes in America.
Vile Courier-JOurnal.

From the Louisville C01rtef-Journal
The very mention of the idea that wooden
shoes are worn in and around Louisville
seems a bit preposterous to the modern
citizenship of this section. but they must
he worn hereabouts-for they are shipped
here
Two hundred pairs of these unique speci-
mems of footwear passed through the Louis
Vile port yesterday. They came directly
from Rotterdam. consigned to local firm
The Hollanders are famous for making
and wearing wooden shoes and never lose
their desire for wearing them, even when
they come to this country.
Scattered around in this section there is
a pretty good sprinkle of these oid-ime
Dutch and they must have their wooden
shoes. The shoes received will be disposed
of to these foreign-bOrn Dutch.
The shoes are not only unique in their
make. but are extremely light. They are
worn mostly during the winter and in ex-
IRENE wet weather. They are made of one
piece of wood and there is no such thing
az leak in them. There has been but slight
change in their make for centuries.

and cried out that there were devils
after him. He was subject to fits,
such as have been described as affict-

died soon after. The mother of the
accused also had fits, it is set forth.
After reciting these statements from
the evidence the QUESTION proceeds to
tell of Philip Noane's early history,
down to the time when he shot his wife.
The question is very exhaustive in it's
details. 1t ends by calling for the
conclusion of the expert as to whether
the subject described is sane or insane.
Several physicians who have been
called by the defense will testify that
they consider the man described insane.
Experts for Ehe prosecution will fol-

Naone is sane The case is expected
to last ten days yet
