From Sandals to Shoes.

The first foot coverings were sand
ais. After these came shoes left open
at the toes, then the wooden shoes
of the ninth and tenth centuries, fol-
lowed a little later by shoes with
long pointed and t%urned-up toes,
which sometimes reached as high as
the knee. Later a shoe was worn
with an exceedingly wide toe, SO very
wide that 1t impeded the process of
walking. Queen Mary restricted the
wearing of this by proclamations. The
proclamation ran to the effect that
shoes should not be worn wider than
six inches.

ODD FANcIEs IN JEwELRY.
Distinctive Features Popular with the
FashionabIes.

Among the fancies in jewelry are
sleeve links of red and white stones
diamonds, garnets, carbuncles, rubies
or crystals may be used. The links
are in many different shapes. the dis
tinctive feature being that one link
will be all in red and the other in
white, or else n link will be made
OF red stones with a diamond in the
center and the other of diamonds with
a red stone in the center. Other col
ored stones are also shown In this
style, but the red and white combine
ton seems to be the favorite one.
And this is not only true of the sleeve
links. In brooches and bracelets as
well the red and white stones figure
largely.
Another odd pair of sleeve links for
a person of sporting pr~oclivitfes had
one link ornamented with a wild duck
in enamel and another with a bird
dog. The links were oval and concaye
In shape. The figures were in relief
and covered with crystal.
Another evidence of the popularity
of mixed color schemes in jeweiry
than that afforded by the cuff links is
shown In the revived popularity of the
little flower baskets which were fash
fonable many years ago. The baskets,
of gold lattice work, are filled with
flowers made of various colored Jew
els. The ornament Is used for a
brooch. These brooches, when for
merly used. were usually of French
dligree and. paste jewels and were ex-
ceedingly pretty, although compare

Memphis, April 14.-The spring meeting of the new Memphis Jockey club will be inaugurated at Montgomery Park Mon day under circumstances more suspicious than has characterized any previous meet ing of the association A large number of high-cass horses are on hand. many having wintered here, and number coming from New Orleans and California. Others are expected from the Fair Grounds at New Orleans, and Oaklawn at Hot Springs. Ark. which closed today, and stable room at the track promises to be taxed to its full capacity.
 Several valuable stakes will be con- tested for during the twentyone days meeting including the Montgomery handicap, the Tennessee Derby, the Oaks and the Peabody handicap, by probably the highest class horses seen here in years. The feature of the opening day will be the Montgomery handicap at a mile and an eighth $25O0 added Fifteen horses remain in tonight and it is quite probable that the entire number will start.
 The track is in excellent condition and all indications are that the meeting will be one of the most successful ever held here

ON THE RACE TRACK
Fair Grounds.

New Orleans. April 14-The longest and in some respects the most eventful racing season New Orleans has had closed with the last race at The Fair Grounds today. It lasted four and a half months and emitting Sundays, the rival clubs gave thirteen and fourteen races a day While the total amount of money dis tributed cannot be positively stated until the final accounts of the week are made up, it is certain that more than $70O,O00 have been distributed by the competing organizations. The tracks have both lost money and it is most unlikely that their owners will consent to another winters costly warfare
 The Henry entry, Hortensa and Glad iator, were the beaten favortes today Efforts to raise get-a-way money made the betting more lovely than usual but the ring had the best of the argument The weather was fine and the track slow.

This proposition to your committee
seems to be the solution Of many of
Satf1e problems Of correcting the evils
and dnjustices now In existence III the
handling OF grain at the head or the
lakes and your committee viii now
take UP the matter OF perfecting an
organization to take one or more OF
the Great Northern terminal elevators
with the independent shippers Of the
state. BY an organization OF this
kind the shipper can retain complete
contrd Of his grain. He can obtain
the value of all screenings taken from
his grain The eastern miller can
obtain grain In Just the condition he
wants 1t and a compet itive market at
he head Of the lakes can be re-estab-
1fshed. ssS
Your committee lis OF the opinion
that the reforms outlined will be Of
material benefit to the grain growers
of the state and viii be a stepping
stone TO a better system OF inspection,
viz:
Federal inspection, which would do
away entirely with the many confict-
ing inspections established IN the var
ious states. 1ssss5

This information is now part Of the

The account did not appear in the
Minneapolis papers in connection
with the hearing there, the facts hav-

record shows clearly that the testi-

Minneapolis grain interests and their

Associated Press correspond was
sufficient 10 keep the information Sc
cured by the commission from becom-

that the Telegram or Superior grain

when the evidence taken at Minnie
