DOUGLAS NEW BUILDING.

Big Shoe Company Increases Its
Jobbing Facilities.
The dedication of the new admins
tration and jAbbing house building
erected by the w. L. Douglas Shoe Co.
as a part of it's mammoth manufacture
ing plant at Montello, Mass, was
marked by the thoroughness and atten-
ton to detail characteristic OF the urn
in all it's undertakings. AS the new
building is said to be tie most complete
and convenient Of any ever built for
commercial house in the United States.
so were the expressions of appreciation
by the many persons who visited it for
inspection sincere and of a highly con-
gratulatory nature.
The completion OF this structure
marks the establishment of a modern
up-to-date wholesale jobbing house and
office building. Mr.. Douglas has long
considered the ACCESSIBILITY of job
bling house, not only for the purpose
of supplying his own retail stores more
readily, but that thu 11,O0O dealers
throughout the United States handling
the W. L. Douglas shoes might be able
to obtain shoes for immediate use with
greater facility. Under the present sys-
TEN all shoes are manufactured to or
der, and customers sometimes lose sales
waiting for shoes to arrive. With the
new jobbing house theJ will be enabled
to have their hurry orders shipped the
same day they are received, which will
be far more satisfactory to the GUS
toner and will result in q largely in
creased business to the w. L. Douglas
Shoe Co. -.....
The new building is 26o feet long and
60 feet wide and twc stories In height.
The jobbing department will occupy the
entire lower floor. while the offices will
occupy the second fioo1. The jobbins
department will carr complete stock
of mems, boys, youths, women's
misses and children's shoes, slippers
rubbers and finding equal to any job
bling house in the country.

Church Side" of a Hat.

\ miIliner who works in large city

the trimming on her hat changed. She
said that it had been trimmed on the
wrong side.

Instinct for Certain Trees.

A British paper has recently comment
ed upon the fact that in that country
certain species of trees are likely to har-
oor peculiar kinds of birds. The oak is
said to he the favorite with rocks and
Jays, and the beech with woodpeckers.
In America many similar associations
may be noted as the oriole and elm, the
cathjrd and hawthorn, the yellow warb-
Ter and willow, the crow and the pine,
etc. Such associations do not hold for
NIL regions. unless the range of bird and
tree are co-extensive. but it is conspicu-
Gus enough to be noticeable. In most
cases this association is concerned with
nest building but it is difficult in some
cases to understand why one tree is not
rs good as another for such purposes

SIMPLE HOSE SUPPORTER.
In No Manner Interferes with the Circu-

Elastic bands have been used so long
for making hose supporters or carriers,
that a variation is at once noted.
Naturally the elastic expands or con-
tracts to suit the individual wearer, and
that is absolutely all that is required to
make the article suitable. In the illus
tration is shown a new idea in hose
supporters which does away with the
elastic bands entirely. 1t is made entirely
out of metal, and in two pieces only,

EMPTY BOTTLES

HAMILTON, Ohio, October 6.-Nine
empty milk bottles with a note inform
ing the milkman to deliver no more
milk, placed ON the back doorstep of
the residence of DIR. C. H. Safer, 447
South Second street, this morning,
disclosed the story of the departure
of the doctor and the simultaneous
disappearance of Mrs. Snow, the wife
of w. H. Snow, manager of the New
York Racket Store.
DR.. Safer had sold his horses and
rigs and his wife had returned to her
parents home at New Haven, Butler
County. Mr.. Snow said that his wife
had packed all her personal belongings
several days ago and shipped them to
Michigan. She had also taken $500
worth of diamonds. A note saying,
'Good-by, / love another man better,
and have gone for good" had been
left by her on the parlor table.
Snow says that DR.. Safer gained the
affections of his wife while treating
her for rheumatism. He will institute
a search for the missing couple.

Beverly sat very still and tense. She
was afraid to look at Baldos, who rode
up as Quinnox started into the narrow
defile, calling TO the escort to follow.
The keen eyes of the guard caught the
situation at once. Miss Calhoun shot
a quick glance at him as he rode up be-

more venturesome and vastly more in

lessly after Quinnox was questioning
the laconic Ravone when she drew
rein. The vagabonds seemed to evince
but little interest in the proceedings.
They stood away in disdainful aloof
ness. No sign of recognition passed
between them and Baldos.

lively at Beverly and then at Baldos,
as If to inquire whether these men
were the goat hunters she had come to
know by word of mouth. The two
faces were hopelessly noncommittal.
Suddenly Baldos' horse reared and
began to plunge as if in terror, so that
the rider kept his seat only by means
Of adept horsemanship. Ravone leaped
forward and at the risk of injury
clutched the plunging steed by the bit.
Together they partially subdued the
animal and Baldos swung to the ground
at Ravone's side. Miss Calhouns horse
In the meantime had caught the fever.
He pranced off to the roadside before
she could get him under control.
She was thus in a position to observe
the two men on the ground. Shielded
from view by the body Of the horse
they were able to put the finishing
touches to the trick Baldos had cleverly
worked. Beverly distinctly saw the
guard and the beggar exchange bits Of
paper, with glances that meant more
than the words they were unable to
utter.
Baldos pressed into Ravone's hand a
note Of some bulk and received in ex-
change mere slip Of paper. The pa
pers disappeared as II by magic, and
the guard was remounting his horse be-

Just when they begin to blow;
They twist their little fists about,
And round-eyed stare at you,
And then their fingers open
And they gurgle and they goo.
It's fun to watch the babies grow
And watch them learn to walk,
And learn to ask for what they want
| And learn to laugh and talk;
And learn to know the different ones
That come in, and be glad
When night is come and lights are lit
And 1t is time for dad.
oh, just little boy or girl
To roll about the floor,
To creep on hands and knees to watch
For dad beside the door,
And later meet him at the gate,
And then, adown the street,
To watch his coming and to run
To him with flying feet.
Oh, you can have your blossoms,
All red and blue and white,
But I'll choose bunch of babies
Watching for their dad at night,
And I'll watch their lives unfolding
Like the petals of rose,

Is the fairest bloom that blows.

count was learning forbearance in his
old age. He saw the wisdom Of pro-
crastination. Baldos was in favor, but
some day there would come time for
his undoing. -
In the barracks he was acquiring
fame. Reports went forth with unbias-
ed freedom. He established himself as
the best swordsman in the service, as
well as the most efficient marksman.
With the foils and sabers he easily
vanquished the foremost fencers in
high and low circles. He could ride
like a Cossack or like an American
cowboy. OF them all, his warmest adj
mirer was Haddan, the man set to
watch him for the secret service. 1t

unique position. In order to maintain
her attitude as princess the fair young
deceiver was obliged to pose in the
extremely delectable attitude of being
