Brown Shoe Company's Illustrated History O. tIe White House" is Making Big Business for the
 Retailers.
MRS. rHoS. JEFFERSON.
 PRES. THOS. JEFFERSON.

One of the most original and effect i've business makers for shoe retailers that has been brought out in many years. is now being offered to White House" customers by the Brown Shoe Company. of St. LOuis-the most pro- gressive and up-to-date manufacturers of high grade footwear in America. This firm is always on the lookout for business getting advertising ideas for the benefit of its customers. and for this purpose has recently issued a very interesting little publication entitled. The History of the White House. 20 which it wishes to place in the hands of all shoe dealers throughout the country.
 The books come in four handsomely bound and printed volumes, are beau tifully illustrated and contains a com plete and interesting history of White House life from Washington's time to the present. Accurate reproduction of famous paintings and photographs of the Presidents and their wives are shown. and interesting bits of gossip about the various occupants of the Presidents Mansion. traditions and stories are retold in dn entertaining manner.
 These books are furnished free by the Brown Shoe Company. to the trade, who in turn give them away to their patrons. With each supply the Brown Shoe Company also sends an attrac- tive colored poster to be hung in the store, which sets forth that the mer- chant will give one volume of the Message ito each purchaser of a pair of White House Shoes. In this volume is the notation that the remaining three volumes of the set may be ob- tained by forwarding 10 cents to the Brown Shoe Company in St Louis. For the benefit of those who do not happen to be ready at this time to purchase q pair of shoes, the Brown Shoe Company states that it will send the entire set. postpaid. on the receipt of 2 conts in stamps or silver
 The Brown Shoe Company reports that a very large number of it's GUS toners have already taken advantage of the opportunity to profit by this high grade advertising, and that all these dealers state that the books have proved remarkably effective in bring ing customers into the store. The de- mand for these books is constantly in creasing. and more and more people in every town are being made converts to the superior White House line of shoes by the clever advertising of this excel lent footwear which is contained in this interesting little publication.
 The Brown Shoe Company wishes every shoe dealer in the country to take advantage of this remarkably profitable opportunity, as the new trade which will be secured to mer- chants everywhere by the illustrated History of the White House" will be invariably kept by the high quality of the White House Shoes. and the inva- riable satisfaction which they give to their wearers.

A CHILD KIDNAPfD
 ABOUT A WEEK AGO
But the Interested Parties Have All Kept Quiet About It and no Nensa- ton Followed

An Incident that possessed all the features necessary for a sensational story. except the names of the parties concerned, occurred here about a week ago, but the facts were not dis closed until yesterday, and. as those interested took no appeal to the law their names cannot be made public It was g Kidnapping case. and only those interested have any Knowledge of the merits of either side of the con- ! troversY.
 About week ago a man appeared at the Palo Alto livery barn and rent ed a couple of saddle horses. riding one away and leading the other Somewhere he was joined by friend and the two men rode to the vicinity of farm house north of the asylum for the insane. though exactly what ranch it has not been learned. Their purpose was to secure and spirit away a child, and the enterprise was sue cessful as to the main issue, though there was little miscarriage of plans that gave their secret away to one or two.
 The men rode 10 a point about a
 
 in question, where one of the horses was tied and its rider dismOunted for an investigation. the other man fol- lowing a short distance behind. The child was found near the house and secured by the men. who returned to the city as quickly as possible and in the most direct way. one man and the child on horseback and the other man on foot. He did not dare go back to where his horse was tied for fear that in so doing he would expose himself to view and possibly the shotgun aim of somebody at the ranch.
 Arriving in town one man took his mount back to the stable and settled. The other did not return, hut the same night sent information to the pro- prietor of the stable telling where the horse could be found An employe was sent after the animal and rode the same horse the kidnaper had used Approaching he saw nothing of the missing animal. but had learned enough O. the stor" so he did not care to thrust his presence -on the ranch people unannounced. fearing that the sight of the horse might lead somebody to tfe conclusion that he was one of the men. # wouldn't be out of place to take shot at. He persuaded a neigh bor to visit the ranch for him and in- form the head of the house that he was law abiding citizen. on the peaceful mission oc hunting horses. and if he could give him any clue to the animal that was tied i1 that vicinitv the night before he would greatly ap- preciate it.
 The rancher tod him that he had turned the horse loose. given him good hard slap and told him to go back to town where he belonged. And he went. for the next morning he re- ported at the stable for breakfast It was learned in the meantime that the men. or one of them at least. had left the night before for the south.

All the COnviCtS Will Be
Taken.

Sixty seven of the counties of
the state, less than 30 per cent,
have filed requisition with the
prison commission for approximate.
ly 1900 felony convicts, which is
considerably more than 80 per
cent of the number the commits
sion will have to dispose of after
April /, 1909. Secretary Yancey
is preparing a list of the counties,
showing the number each county
wants, and this will be given out
Wednesday afternoon.
The state will have, on April J.,
1909, approximately $500 felony
convicts. Under the law they
must be apportioned among the
counties in proportion to popula
ton. Should there be a surplus
of convicts left by the failure OF
counties to take their quota, they
are to be apportioned among the
counties wanting them.
Up to date only seven counties
have indicated inability to take
their quota on April /, and all of
them were small counties. The
indications are that there will be
comparatively few ''overs," and
the requisition already received
leaves no doubt as to their being
taken by counties wanting more
than their quota.

DR.. Lee Talks
About Cooking
Pastor of Trinity Discusses
Cooks, Pastry, Stocks
And Chickens.

tTfI were a bishop" said DIR.
James w. Lee in a characteristic
sermon to a crowded congregation
at Trinity church yesterday morn
ing, II would require all OF my
preachers to preach each sunday
in month for a year on 'HoW to
Cook, and on another Sunday IN
each month on How to Keep
House, and on another Sunday
How to Care for Stock, and on
another Sunday 'How to BE Sue
cessful Farmers etc. land,
continued DR.. Lee, "instead Oh
calling up big crowd Of mourn
ers, would require the pastors to
make propositions that all the
Door women who could not make
any better biscuit than the frazzles
on rubber patent, to come up
and kneel at the altar, and all OF
the men who did not take proper
care of their stock, chickens, farms
ect., to come to the mourners bench.
DR.. Lee, in his original way,
was seeking to contrast the pro-
fessed Christian life which sat
down and permitted God to do
everything for him with that real
Christian character which was
energetic and sought to utilize
every talent possible for the ad-
yancement of Gods work in the
world.
"Why," said he, cooking and
keeping house, and properly at
tending to your farm is just as
much religion as looking pious and
coming to church, and, while in
the midst OF this discussion ne
mentioned some of his experien ces
where he had been to the home of
very wious brother but when they
went to the table the biscuits were
so rubber like that they could not
be eaten and gave expression to
the procedure which he would
follow if he were a bishop emphas-
izing the fact that the Christian
life was intensely practical.
The subjecto, ofDr. Lees sermon
was "Using the Whole of Oneself
in the Work of Life, "and by many
forceful illustrations, expressions
aud arguments, he pointed out
that a man was required to use his
intellectual moral, physical and
spiritual powers in successful
effort to live the Christ life.
! In contrast to the selfish and
miserable life, he said that SUI,
preme happiness was found only
in sacrifcial serv ice for ones fell
lows.

A Chippewa Falls news dispatch of
last Sunday contains the information
that two damage suits have been start
ed against the Omaha railway as the
result of the wrecking of the Duluth

and p j Tilton of Logan, Ohio, who
asks Is, 600 Mrs. Porter and 3r. Til

person or persons removing rail and
that it is therefore not liable for dam
ages. while MIR. Tilton and Mrs. Porter
will try TO show that the wreck was
caused by speading rails and rotten ties.
On the theory that the train was
wrecked by individuals the railroad
