BIG NEW SHOE BUILDING,
1t Is Dedicated by the w. L. Douglas
 Go. at Broekton.

The dedication short time ago of the new administration and jobbing house building erected by the w. l.. Douglas Shoe O. as part of it's mann moth manufacturing plant at Montello was marked by the thoroughness and attention to detail characteristic of the firm in all it's undertakings.
 The dedicatory program included open house from II a. m. to D. m. with concert by the Mace Gay orches- tra and the presence of Boston caterer to attend to the wishes of all. The building itself afforded a feast for the eye, especially the offices, which are marvels in many ways. Fifteen thousand invitations were sent out, including over 1000 to the re- tail dealers in the United States who handle the w. l.. Douglas Go. shoes, the others going to shoe manufactur- CTS and all allied industries in Brock ton and vicinity. MT. Douglas will be glad to have anybody who is interest ed call and inspect the new plant, and says ''the latch string is always out" All departments of the plant were open for inspection the three factories as we'll as the new building, and vis- itors were received and escorted through the industrial maze by ex- Gov. Douglas, assisted by the heads of the various departments.
 Under the present system all shoes are manufactured to order, and GUS toners sometimes lose sales waiting for shoes to arrive. With the new jobbing house they will be enabled to have their hurry orders shipped the same day they are received.
 The new building is 260 feet long and 60 feet wide and two stories in height. The jobbing department will occupy the entire lower floor, while the offices will occupy the second floor The jobbing department will carry a complete stock of mems, boys, youths misses and children's shoes, slippers, rubbers and findings equal to any job ping house in the country. Buyers are especially invited to cone here to trade, and every effort possible will be made to suit their convenience. There will be finely appointed sample room on the second floor, with an office in which both telephone and telegraph will be installed, with operators, both Western Union and Postal Telegraph wires to be used. There will also be arrangements for the receipt and des. patch of mail.

FAN OLD PAINTERS tDE

The autumn season is coming Mt&xx and more to be recognized as T1sS suitable time for housepainting. MILL is no frost deep in the wood to mEH1 trouble for even the best job of paiWX ing, and the general seasoning of [ Hs summer has put the wood into goo condition in every way. The weather, moreover, is more likely to be settled for the necessary length of time to allow all the coats to thoroughly dry, very important precautiOn. An old and successful painter said to the writer the other day: House owners would get more for their money if they would allow their painters to take, more time, especially between coats Instead of allowing barely time for the surface to get dry enough not to be 'tacky,' several days (weeks would not be too much) should be allowed so that the coat might set through and through It is inconvenient, ot course, but, if one would suffer this sslight inconvenience, it would add two or three years to the life of the paint" All this is assuming, of course, that tue paint uSeu IS the very DeSl Io be had. The purest of white lead and the purest of linseed oil unmiXed with. any cheaper of the cheap mix lures, often known as White Lead" and oil which has been doctored with fish oil, benzine, corn oil or other of the adulterants known to the trade are used, all the precautions of the skilled painter are useless to prevent the cracking and peeling which make houses unsightly in a year or so and. therefore, make painting bills too ire quent and costly House owner should have his painter bring the 1T. gredients to the premises separately. white lead of some well known relia- ble brand and linseed oil of equal qual- ity and mix the paint just before ap- plying it. Painting need not be ex- pensive and unsatisfactory if the old painters suggestions are followed.

Now, hurry! See what else there is-it seems to be a small secret cab inet. Oh, Jack, what will Aunt Liza say! Aren't you glad l dreamed.
 The man with the dust-covered shirt and begrimed hands pushed her gently aside.
 Get back out Of this ness, Mollie, and let me see what is here. It must have been great-great-g grandfather Clafiin's. He was governor, and rhis was the mansion. love! I'd like to give the old gentleman handshake: Here, take these,' he handed her an- other bundle of silver spoons, pitch CT, silver sugar and creamer, a pail of sugar tongs, q half-dozen silver plates of foreign make, two gold-line6 goblets, and q queer low dish of silver filigree.
 Then he, too, went suddenly giddy Seizing Mollie about her slender waist, he spun her round and round the room. The Girl in Pink gathered up the tail of her gown, she was going to join the revel.
 Suddenly everyone stood still. There was a confusion of voices, d tramp!inc of heavy feet in the hall, and the nex: moment the door was flung violently open, and two brawny policemen stood on the threshold.
 Just keep your place, partner. Promanadin' ain't the ticket just now
 The big policeman smiled pleasantly The man in the Gust-covered clothes grew pale.
 Don't lose your temper, old man, '' sang out cheery voice from the all. They've run me in, too. l think-it's going to be-funny." The Girl in Pink gave a little involuntary cry. The man in the greatooat smiled at her reassur- ingly. Strange, she had never known before what splendid-looking fellow he was! Any girl might be proud Perhaps-after all Then she retreat ed toward the library door hastily.
 A man, small man, with a very red face and angry eyes, had pushed his way past the two policemen across to the table where the treasure glittered
 
 There it is-every bit of it!" He pointed eXcitedly IC the heap of silver stuff, then to the unsightly hole in the wall Don't you see that! What further proof do you want? I don't care who he is-a Claflin or anybody else, or whether he owns the universe. He's a blasted thief-he and his part ner there! Haven't l been watching him skulking about the place for the last two hours! They knew I was away from home! The thief! Stealing my silver right out of" his rage falr- ly choked him, he could not say more
 Mollie caught her breath. For one brief moment she looked at the grour before her. Then, with a queer little sound, a curious mixture of laughte. and sobs, she sank helplessly dowr upon the floor, little limp, blue ,n.ne that gasped faintly:
 "Oh, Jack, Jack! It's--Mr. Crosby and-we've dug - into - his - silver closet!'

 Again the hatchet went up-the gash widened.
 The plaster was all down-the gray dust was settling over the pretty china and silver, over the polished tables and chairs, over the blue and the pink Paris gowns, over the black and the golden heads.
 One. rang the tall cathedral clock. Down fell the tools with a chatter upon the floor Mollie srrang forward with a startled cry:

 There was glitter of silver, gleam of gold-in the opening! The Girl in Pink felt shiver creep down her back; her heart throbbed wildly. And Mollie was right. Her dreams were true!
 It was silver-heavy, solid silver wrapped in soft, old. yellowed paper that plainly told of the passing Of the years.
 Slowly reverently, Mollie unwrapped them piece by piece. The blue eyes were luminous, the sweet mouth trem- ulouS.

The University of Notre Dame, it pears, haS some features that can not be duplicated in any other school. It is one or the old, well established colleges, with settled traditions reaching back sixty-four years, with distinguished staff of pro- fessors and excellent library and labora- tory equipment. It's discipline is of the paternal kind-strong without being op- the grammar school. high school and col iege work, it's appeal is as broad as it is potent. Perhaps the most remarka blt feature of the famous Indiana University however, is the fact that it has arrived at it's present marvellous development abso- 1utely without endowment.

She lifted two coaxing blue eyes to the man who had come in quietly and was standing in the doorway, watch ing the two with the shadow of smile on his dark, handsome face.
 There was silence for a time The man in the dress suit looked dreamily at the bit of tinted wall The Girl in Pink laughed a little, nervously-her prosaic, sensible self had vanished before the glamour of mystery. she could almost see the treasure,

Glass Conductors.

Glass is usually thought of as g typical non-conductor or insulator, Ot electricity. But some kinds of glass. are very good conductors of electric ity. Mr. c. E. s. Phillips, of Shooters Hill, England, has produced in his lab oratory a glass which readily con ducts electricity, and which, he thinks may prove useful for the windows and cases of electrostatic instruments. This glass possesses about 36 times the conouctivity of common soda glass. But it is said that there is no particular difficulty in producing t1it glass with as great coeductiyity az that.
