WATER WALKER.
River Bank Lined With PeO-
pie Eager to See.
Has Had Much Unfav0rable
Weather TO Contend
With.

Prof. Oldreive the water walker
arrived at Greensboro last Friday
morning on his forty days trip from
Cincinnati Ohio to New Orleans
walking on the placid waters of the
Ohio river.
When the whistle of the municipal
water plant blew, closely followed
by the whistle of the Owensboro
Water Works company's plant, the
people began to swarm the river
banks from all parts of the city.
In an interview the water walker
said: 81 have been delayed by
stong head winds. | spent the night
two and one-half miles below Rock
port, on the Kentucky side. We
left there this morning at Is min
utes past Z o'clock. For the last few
days we have suffered considerably
from the severe cold and from the
stiff headwinds.
Mrs. Oldreive has suffered more
than | have. Of course. one would
naturally get colder sitting in a skiff
than walking. We are behind our
time and do not know if we will be
able to make it up. | am trusting
solely to the elements while in the
Ohio. When get into the Missis-
sippi, l hope to make up my time
with the aid of the rapid current.
In about week | will know wheth-
err can make the trip on scedule
time or not. We have had much to
contend with in the way of unfavor-
able weather"
At this juncture of the interview
one of:the shoee sprung a leak and
the professor was forced to get into
the skiff with his wife and be brought
to the boat.
The two shoes were then dragged
out of the skiff and taken into the
houseboat for repair. The leak
which had sprung in the toe of the
right shoe was quickly patched with
asphaltum. The professor" said
that since coming over the falls at
Louisville, he had had trouble with
numerous leaks.
The shoes are covered with asphal-
tum, and measure about three feet
in length, six inches in width, and
eight inches from top to bottom.
They are boxed like the hull of a
boat, and have sharp toes so that
they can be showed through the wa
ter easily. The cedar wood, Of
which they are made is about half
an inch thick. The interior Of the
shoes are hollow and in the opening
the professor has places made for
his feet
While walking he shoves his feet
along like one would do on skates,
and swings his arms to keep his
balance, which is, he says, very
hard to do on a rough river. After
remaining on the levee for half an
hour and taking pictures of the
crowd, he got back into the skin
with his wife at the oars, where he
again put on his shoes and started for
Evansville. He said that he would
get to Evansville four hours behind
his scedule.
In speaking of his time. Prof. "
Oldreive said that he could make for
ty miles day on this river. He said
that near Madison, Ind, he made in
one day forty-nine and one-half miles.
He seemed to think that be could
easily make his trip on time and win
his wager.

BealTs ideas about having big families,
that the snow-headed mayor OF Alton
began to receive letters from little
folks In neighboring cities. The let

but In many cases between the lines
could be read the promptings OF a
fond parent.
The letters which the mayor most
delights to answer are those from his
little correspondents asking the mayor

greatest lovers OF the little folk, he
writes to each and all that he will

suggested. II papa and mamma are will
ing and ready to take care OF baby.
and In some cases he has received &C
acknowledgement from the little folks
that the birds came and filled the or.

Interesting Facts Regarding Its Coffee,
.Flavorins Extracts, Baking Pow
der and Other Manufacturing
and Wholesale Business.

The great wholesale grocery house
Of the c. S. Morey Mercantile Company
In Denver gives special attention to its
coffee trade. having as fine a coffee
roasting plant as there Is In the coun-
try. with roasting capacity OF one
hundred and fifty bags OF green coffee
day. Its experiments show that in
the dry climate of Colorado coffee
should not be held too long after roast
Ing, and hence all coffee is shipped as
soon as possible after 1t has been
roasted. The great success this firm
is having with its high.srade package
conees. such as Solitaire, Yampa, Cap
itol. and many others, is due to the fact
that no expense is spared In keeping
the blends and grades uniform and al
ways up to the standard.
Their coffee expert is one of the very
best in the country and he is in.
structed to buy only the best coffees re-
gardless of cost. The constant and i'm
mense increase in their coffee business
shows that this fact is appreciated by
the public.
Another growing branch OF Its man.
ufacturing business is that OF its Soil
taire flayoring extracts, for which an
additional story has Just been com
pleted for laboratory use. None but
the very finest of Mexican and Bour
bon vanilla beans are used for Morey's
Solitaire Vanilla. which Is aged at
least twelve months before It is
shipped, and only the best oil or
lemon that can be- obtained Is al
lowed in Morey's Solitaire Lemon. All
their Solitaire extracts are as good as
any made.
Morey's o. X Baking Powder. which
will do the work of any cream tartar
powder on the market, but which is it.
self phosphate powder. is another OF
the firms popular and staple produc-
tions. which is winning favor as being
quite as efficient and more wholesome
than cream tartar powders.
Grinding and packing of high.grade.
absolutely pure spices is another spe-
cialty that is bringing credit to the
firm name.
The company is also direct impor-
ter OF teas. in which 1t does large
business.
The grocery part OF the business is
divided into departments each under
the management of man who has
made a study for years of the goods in
his particular line.
from one nunurtu 10 one nuHuf'u
and twenty-five men are employed all
the time. including thirty statesmen
