one to come after he has walked UP and
down State street for ten years.
MY real and Interior motive in well
coming this interview with registered
Englishman was to get, free Of charge,
an allopathic dose of twenty-four carat
English. / wanted to bask in the bright
light of an intellect that had no flick
ers in it and absorb some of the in
fallibility that is so prevalent in these
parts.
We met. / steadied myself and said:
I'm glad to know you-that Is. I am
extremely pleased to have the honor Of
making your acquaintance"
He looked at me with kindly light
In his steel blue eyes, and after short
period of. deliberation spoke as follows:
Thanks"
THE international developments of
recent years have been such as should
properly engender feeling of the
warmest brotherhood between all
branches of the Anglo-Saxo race" I
said II don't think that any fair
minded American has 1t in for Great
Britain-that is, 1T seems to me that all
former resentment growing out OF early
conflicts between the two countries has
given way to a spirit of tolerant un-
derstanding. Do you not agree with
me?"
He hesitated for moment, as IL not
desiring to commit himself by hasty or
impassioned reply, and then delivered
himself as follows: Quite"
"It seems to me-" l said, following
the same line of thought, that fair
minded people on both sides of the
water are getting sore-that is. losing
patience with the agitators who preach
the old doctrine that our attitude
toward Great Britain is necessarily one
of enmity. We cannot forget that when
the European powers attempted to con-
cert their influence against the United
States at the outset OF the late war
with Spain you bluffed them out-that
Is you induced them to relinQuish their
unfriendly Intentions. Every thought
full man in America is on to this fact
that is, he understands how important
was the service you rendered us--end
he is correspondingly grateful The
American people and the English peo-
pie speak the same language, theoreti-
cally. Our interests are practically iden-
tical In all parts of the world-that is,
we are trying to do everybody, and so
are YOU. What 1 want to convey is that
neither nation can properly work out
its destiny except by cooperating with
the other. Therefore any policy look
ing toward a severance of friendly re~
lations Is unworthy of consideration"
"Rot!'' said he.
Just at present all Americans are pro-
foundly grateful to the British public for

by the spirit OF integrity. As fair
minded Briton. who Is keeping In toucn
with the affairs Of the world. may ask
you your candid opinion Of President
ROOSEVELT"
After brief pause he spoke as fol-
lows: 'Ripping!"
'"The impulse Of friendliness on the
part OF the English people seems to be
more evident year by year, continued

Oak leather SoleS in SELF
Royal Blue

There's nothing so good for a shoe-sole
as oak-tanned leather; it has peculiar, close,
tough fiber that wears better than any other
leather made
But oak leather costs good deal more
than hemlock leather; and after the shoe is
finished you can't tell the difference except
by wearing them.
Some good looking shoes have hemlock
soles; SELF Royal Blue has oak soles and no
other.
If you pay an oak leather price, be sure
you get the quality.
