ASCENT ON CATALINA ISLAND Nlkp PLACE. WHEL CABPOS GpI
THCIIGHT

From the description given of the
locality 1t is thought the spot is
on the island of Catalina. Some
historians believe that it is on San
Miguel island, further up the coast,
however, and failing of the search
on Catalina. the scientists will con-
tinue their quest on San Miguel.
Money and authority for the work
has been furnished by the Spanish
throne.
Catalina island has long been a
favorite vacation place for west
erners and spot of interest to
tourists. 1t is but three hours ride
by steamer from the city of Los
Angeles. Avalon, the resort that
nestles in the cove of a beautiful
bay on the shoreward side of the
island, is people the year round
with pleasure seekers. 1t is now
thought probable that these recre-

BAD ITCHING HUMoR.

Cured I'm 2 Days by Cuticura.
Some two months ago I had q hui
NOR break out on my limbs below my
knees. They came to look like raw
beefsteak, all red, and no one knows
how they itched and burned. They
were so swollen that I could not get
my shoes on for a week or more. L
used five or six different remedies and
got no help, only when applying them
the burning was worse and the itching
less. For two or three weeks the suf-
fering was intense and during that time
l did not sleep an hour at a time. Then
n morning l tried a bit of Cuticura.
From the moment it touched me the
itching was gone and l have not felt
a bit Of it since. The swelling went
down and in two days l had my shoes
on and was about as usual. George

He Was Hungry.

John j. Hayes, the Marathon hero, at

oast with a story.
Truly" he said, I'VE must work.
We must not rest on our laurels. As
the president told us, it would be a
pity to see an Olympic winner 20 years
hence a tramp.
Yet such things have happened. A
cousin Of mine, the foreman Of a Chi

who had been a Yale baseball cham
pion. Their acquaintance began in a
that showed the tramp still to be
game and CHEEKY.
1T was a cold autumn dawn, and
the tramp slept in front Of a furnace
on a warm Stone.
My cousin, being short of laborers,
on his morning tour Of inspection spied
the fellow n thought he woul give
him a job.

anything with a shovel?'
THE tramp smiled.

SOME INEXPENSIVE
CHRISTMAS GIFTS
Begin Early and You Will Be
Glad You Have Made a
Good Start.

It is nevcr too early In the year to be-
gin to make Christmas presents. and
just now there are very many new
Ideas which may be picked up even
during a mornings walk. Take. for In
stance, the matter OF workbags. They
may be made in all shapes n sizes,
they may be fashioned of almost all
materials, and when done they are al
ways useful.
This year c%retonne Is particularly de-
sirable, and it may be purchased In
many delightful designs. There is the
heavy corded variety: there is tho soft,
rather translucent kind of domestic
Make, and there is the fascinating
shadow cretonne, always SO dainty and
pretty.
AS to the bags, there are the ample
ones made to draw up with O ribbon
or those made on q stick. These last,
by the way, are worth noticing. Their
contents are unlikely to get out OF
place, and little pockets nay be ar
ranged all around them, so each indi-
vidual help to sewing may be quickly
and easily found. The sticks on which
they are made are purchased at almost
any hardware store for i cent apiece,
and they may be round or flat like
those used in the bottoms Of window
curtains.
Bags strung on ribbons need rings,
and the best are OF white bone. They
are for sale at art needlework shops
and they cost but little. 1t is a good
idea to give the dainty lady a glove
bag fitted with different colored cot
tons, needles, scissors and thimble.
For the matron what could be nicer
than a darning bag with q china egg,
or one of the patent darners and sew
eral sizes of darning needles?
For the girl a white bag" is nice.

A Methodist Millionaire.

RIOLl LOIQol LII y
The name Of Sir Christopher Fur
ness, whose remarkable cooperative
offer to his work people has attracted
so much attention, is possessed of
great wealth acquired by his own ex-
%ertions, and owns ove 10000 acres Of
land. Sir Christopher is one Of the
few merchant princes among the
Primitive Methodists, and he has not
forgotten his chapel days now hat he
has become prosperous. A few years
ago he paid off the debts Of all the
free churches in the Hartlepools, and
this is only one Of many acts of SINH
lar muni1cence standing to his credit.
He has a great faculty for seeing and
grasping an opportunity. When quite
a lad. having been sent to Sweden by
his firm, he found that circumstances
favored a fine stroke of business,

sponsibility, and on his return home,

NOT AFFECTED BY DEPRESSION
One Big Industry That Makes Its Bust
ness Grow and Expand During
Year of Business Q~apression


When a manufacturing establishment
reaches out in a year of depression and
increases and expands Its business,
while others in the same line diminish
their outputs or stand still, 1t is be-
cause there must be some unusually
good reason for it. In this instance a
splendid reputation and a more-than-
ordinary meritorious product were re-
sponsible for the showing made.
The Mayer Boot and hoe company,
Milwaukee,, the largest shoe establish
ment I'm the Northwest. las just closed
it's fiscal year. and reports an increase
in sales over the corresponding period
Of last year. This exceptional showing
speaks volumes for the genuine merit
Of Mayer shoes, and is directly attrib-
uted to their high standard, and be-
cause of he fact that Mayer shoes
have become universally and popularity
known as shoes of quality
Most Of our readers, no doubt, have
become familiar with the hoe adver-
tisements of this enterprising firm,
that have been appearing in the col
umns of this publication for a number
of years past. To those who have not
yet become familiar with the extraor-
binary wearing qualities OF Mayer
shoes, We would recommend a closer
acquaintance by a purchase OF a pair
at the first occasion.
The leading brands are "Honorbilt''
fine shoes for men Leading Lady
fine shoes for women "Yerrna'' Cush-
ion shoes for both men and women
(these are exceptionally fine shoes for
people troubled with tender feet); the
popular Martha Washington" Com
fort shoes, which nave the largest sale
of any shoes of their kind in the world,
and the SPECIAL Merit School shoes
Ga strong and sturdy line of seamless
school shoes that wear like iron.) In
addition to these brands, the Mayer
Boot & Shoe company make a complete
line of everyday and Sunday shoes for
all purposes. In fact, there is a Mayer
shoe for every purpose md for every
