IN DR.. MUNN'S HOUSE.
Burglar Made an Entrance, But Woke
the Family.

The residence of DIR. L. H. Mum
was entered by a burglar last night,
but he was frightened away before he
had time to steal anything.
The robber devoted most of his time
while in the Mum residence to pre-
pairing a getaway" He opened four
windows and a door on the first floor,
so that there would be no chance of
trapping him, and then carefully tried
the stair door. Mrs. Mum heard the
man turning the door knob and called
to her husband, who was in the next
room. The robber took this as a gen.
tie hint that he was not wanted, and
eloped via one of the many exits he
had prepared for the occasion. The
work looks like that of a professional
house breaker.

From srhe curiosIties Of Sport, By
George Hubbard, in h September
Metropolitan Magazine.
No more curious examples Of n Of
these side issues OF sport can be found
than is offered by a match made when
George ~. was still Prince OF Wales.
The match was q famous ore In its
day from it's exceptional nature. the
parties engaged in It and the unex-
pected denouement. The Hon. George
Hanger, afterward Lord Coleraine,
was one of the celebrated and &C.
centric personages of the day. At one
OF the gay parties at Carleton Hous
Mr.. Hanger was led in the cours of
the conversation to declare that a
turkey could travel faster than a goose.
The Prince of Wales, who had great
confidence in his Judgment as to all
matters OF wind, limb and speed
agreed with him in this declaration.
Al Mr.. Berkeley differed from them and
q match was ut once arranged. Tween
ty turkeys were entered against TWEEN
ty geese. The distance TO be travelled
was ten miles. The race was for
G500. Indeed the confidence in the
turkeys was so great that odds of 2
to 1 were o~ffered--and taken-that
these birds would win. The prince at
pnce arranged to have twenty of the
finest and gamest turkeys collected.
At the time and place appointed he
met Mr.. Berkeley with his entries OF
geese. The race began. From the
start there was every indication that
the turkeys would come In winners,
hands down" or wings down. They
tripped onward at a brisk pace, which
the geese, with their beavIer waddle,
were not able TO equal. Indeed at the
end OF three hours the turkeys were
leading by two miles. But night was
falling. AS the light grew less the
turkeys displayed signs OF uneasiness.
They began to look at the trees that
appeared at the wayside and edged to-
ward them. The prince, with a pole,
TO which was fastened q piece of red
cloth, did what he could to urge them
forward. First one escaped, and rails
ing itself to a pendant limb. settled
Itself down comfortably. This one
was no sooner dislodged than another
established itself in a like manner.
Barley scattered along the road did
not aid In the least. The turkeys had
concluded that II was time to turn
in, and TURF In or out they did. In a
few minutes all Of the twenty We're
Toostipg in trees, from which 1T was
impossible to drive them. Meanwhile
the geese came numbering on. They
slowly passed their slumbering com
petitors. The race finished with the
geese first and the turkeys nowhere"

TREMENDOUS GROWTH OF MIL
WAUkEE CONCERN.
Mayer Boot and Shoe Company of
Milwaukee, With Pacific Coast
Branch al Seattle, One of the Largest

Mayer Boot and Shoe Company of
Milwaukee, With Pacific Coast
Branch at Seattle, One of the Largest
Concerns in Country.
Milwaukee can be proud to be the home
Of the Mayer Boot and Shoe company.
Next to the fame OF Milwarkee's great
breweries comes the countrywide repu-
tation of Mayer boots n shoes. Mayer
shoes have won their reputation on quail
ity. The Mayer Boot and Shoe company
has persistently refused to lower quality
to enable it to sell shoes at a lower price,
and by maintaining this honest n super
Tor quality and keeping in the front ranks
In style, 1t has gradually won the CONT
dence OF thousands Of shoe wearers who
purchase Mayer-made shoes year after
year-who look at the May sr trademark
as positive evidence OF style, comfort, and
good wearing quality.
This quality policy so consistently pur-
sued has resulted in healthful and rapid
growth. In the twenty-five years since
the Mayer o company began opera
tons II has outgrown six factories. And
in the last six months, during which the
last factory annex in Milwaukee has been
building, the volume OF business has so
greatly increased that even with this new
annex the output lags far behind the de-
mand.
Including the new Seattle factory, which
has Just been completed, the total ca
pacity OF the Mayer Boot and Shoe COM
pany exceeds 1900 pairs a day. This re-
markable output, together with the In
ability OF the Mayer company to build
factories fast enough to keep pace with
the demand. Is most convincing evidence
of the high quality Of Mayer footwear.
In the first place the Mayer shoes are
sensible. While good style is an import
ant factor, comfort Is always a greater
consideration; while conspicuous extremes
are avoided. rehned dressiness Is always
secured. The exceptional durability and
splendid wearing quality Of Mayer shoes
are due to the use of only the best leather
and the employment OF only the most ex-
~perienced n skillful workmen. From
the wide range OF styles you are certain
to find one which pleases. The best
known brands are the "Honorbilt' fine
shoe for men: the Leading Lady, fine
shoes; the Martha Washington comfort
shoes; Special Merit school shoes, and
the "Yerma' cushion shoes. II you want
a dress shoe, a work shoe, or a shoe
dressy enough for general use, yet sturdy
enough for rough usage, II Is our belief
that you can't do better thar to ask your
dealer to supply YOU with one OF the
Mayer brands.

The Prescott daily news., 1907-06-14

The present spell of weather induces progress in everything. Much of the improvements begun some time ago, and whichwere checked by bad weather a few weeks ago, have been renewed. The erection and remodeling of several handsome residences; the laying and completing of much concrete sidewalks, and the beautifying of the city park are items that might be mentioned as havlng been given decided impetus by the present June sunshine. And then, think of what crops are doing.
