Your shoe money

When you spend your money for shoes,
you want to get the value of tin shoes.
You want them to look and wear and feel
at least as we'll as they cost. The trans
action ought to be at least an even trade-so
much money, SO much Shoe-satisfactlon..
The best thing we find about selling SELF
Royal Blue and Perfecto shoes is the best
thing you'll find about buying them; we
give, with Sell shoes, and you get for your
money, more value than with any other shoes.
One experience with Sell Royal Blue or
Perfecto shoes will be more than one. The
name ''Sez" is on the sole. 1t means
''good shoe

1t nigh be too late. Oh, she must hurry, she must
hurry!
She ran through the streets, possessed by
thought-to get to the office of the Sunrise Mining
Company before four o'clock. There was a fire
across street directly in the track of the racing
horses. The crowd cried warning; but she
thought only of four o'clock and ran blindy on,
while the horses swerved away from her and the
fremen cursed her for fool woman.
She was at the door of the companys office now,
and she cutched at the knob, weak and sick with
excitement and fatigue She entered the Office and
leaned for moment against a desk that stood near
the door
Il would like to see Mr.. Westland if he is here"
she said to of the clerks, striving to speak
calmly.
At that moment the door of an inner office opened
and whom Rebecca recognized Smell,
Thompsons confidential man, out. The
clerk she had addressed turned to him and said,
MIR. Smell, this young lady would like to Mr..
Westland."
Smell gave her a suspicious look of recognition.
"Oh yes he said smoothly 'Mr. Westland is at
tending an important meeting just and cannot
be disturbed but if you will sit down for few min

door of the inner office.
Smell stepped back and leaned casually against
it.

''Of course you have" acquiesced Smell, looking
at his watch; but it is too late to vote now he

her watch from her belt. 1t can't be too late she
exclaimed looking at it. g 1t is only five minutes

Rebecca hardly knew how it all happened. She
saw Citing hand in the proxy, and heard him say to

she felt slip of paper thrust into her hand and
Citing voice whispered This is our ticket. Hand
it to the teller, quick!
She mechanically did as she was directed and
had confused sense of Westland's look of ncred-
ulous amazement, and heard excited explanations.

CITIZENS AS LAWBREAKERS

and in cities there is law prohibiting persons
from running to fires, which is broken every time
there is confagration.
Recently the board of aldermen of New York, who
appointed to codify all the ordinances in force
in that city, discovered that the greatest lot of abb
vved the growth of the great metropolis Many of
these laws enacted in the early part of the last
century, and absolutely impossible of en-
forcement.
One of them, which dates back to the time when
14th-st. the edge of the suburbs, reads: No
person shall raise fly any kite in any street. lane,
avenue, or public place of New York city, to the
lars for each offense" 1t would be impossible to
say how many times this strange old law has been
broken.
Place Sell Furniture
A MOTHER of these existing laws says that the
only places in which furniture can be sold are
at Peck slip, between Pearl-st. and Front-st.; at
Burling slip between Pearl-s and Front-st; and at
Old slip, between Water-st. and Front-St.
The aldermen were also surprised to learn that
horses and cattle could legally be sold at auction
only in what is of the most exclusive
tons of the city This law reads, No person shall
sell or expose for sale any carriage, animal, ami
mails in any public street in New York city, except
in Park-ave., at the corner of S6th-st'
The old laws also say that there is only one place
in New York where fireworks and fire crackers may
be fired and that is the southeast corner OF I27th
St and Fifth-ave Soft coal shall not be sold by the
ton but by the bushel, and cows, goats, and other
cattle shall be allowed to Craze upon the city land
only when they are in charge OF competent person
or tied securely to stake.
And all these old ordinances in full effect and
as much the law as measures that passed last
week.
Who is there who has not broken the law?
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-12-09

TTIE average citizen of the United States would
no doubt be greatly surprised and indignant
should anyone tell him that he was per-
sstent 1awbreaker. There probably never
normal masculine inhabitant of of the large
cities who has not sometime broken the law, and
the number of times that the average citizens who
are commonly called law abiding and patriotic
violate city ordinances every day is astonishing.
Often the lawbreaker is not. aware that he is in
frnging upon his rights citizen, for instance
when he breaks the speed law he dashes franticay
down crowded street after vanishing trolley
In cities the thrifty citizen, he stands a
street corner waiting for a car, strikes match
mail box which stands conveniently near, little
dreaming that he is committing the serious offense
of defacing Government property.
