Walton Shoes for Boys.

The Walton Shoe Factory is boys
factory. They make more SHOES for boys
than any other manufacturers in the
world. They make nothing but boys
shoes, and the result Is that they know
now to make boys shoes. The Walton
factories turn out 5000 pairs Of shoes
every working day in the year. Think Of
it, 5000 boys shod every day from one
factory. Does this mean anything,
Does it have any lesson for your Does
It not teach you that such SHOE produe-
ton and consumption must mean shoe
merit? Boys like shoes that are distinctly
boyish. and YET they must have shoes
that wear. wear literally like iron. The
Walton shoe fills just the place. 1t has
the style, it has the wear. Other shoes
there are, and good shoes, too. but o-ly
the Walton has the happy combinatIoa OF
style and quality to so marked a degree

The license commissioners held their
meeting Saturday afternoon and listened
to arguments for and against the grant
ing of licenses to eight of the applicants.
Strong objection was made by merchants
and other owners of property in vicinity
to the granting of a license to the Cen

the north side of the square. Subsequent
to the hearing the commissioners an

$1,000 EACH There are two applications
upon which a hearing will be held to-
morrow afternoon, those of T. NJ. Dom
negan and James Pickett. AS there are
to be but six licenses in the town, of
which three are already granted, either
the commissioners will have to refuse to
give licenses to other bars or reduce the
number of drug store licenses. Last
year there were three of the latter and
application was made for renewal of
each. There is considerable curiosity to
see what the results of the hearing will
be.

The Right of Way,

In the early days Of Western rail-
way-building-days not SO long gone
by as to be out of memory-thers
were many exciting races between
rival roads for the possession Of i'm
portant mountain passes. Such q
race, says the Worlds Work, was that
between the Santa Fe and the Rio
Grande roads for the right of way
through Ration Pass, to New Mexico
and the Southwest.
Engineers and construction gangs
worked in mad haste to get to II
ahead Of their rivals. The victory toll
to the chief Of the Santa Fe. When
the Rio Grande cohorts arrived they
found him alone in one Of the big
gorges, shovel in hand, slicing earth
from an eight-thousand-foo hill.
What are you doing herer they
asked.
Constructing a railroad he re-
piled He turned another shovelful Of
dirt, dropped the tool and hitched up
his heavy cartridge-belt.
ANY one who interferes with the
Santa Fe does it at his own risk" he
said, quietly.
First the Rio Grande men laughed.
and then they ragged, and then they
turned and went away. Their road
was cut OF from the south forever.
