Successful NinrOd.

Madison Democrat, Nov. 20: Mr..
John McKenna, 6I5 East Gorham
street, met with his usual success while
deer hunting in Rusk county. He Sc
cured a fine buck, superior in every
way to any previous trophies. For
seven years Mr.. McKenna has made
annual trips to northern Wisconsin
during the deer hunting season. 1t is
believed that he has a speaking &C
quaintance with the fleet footed ami
mails as he never fails to induce one to
accompany him home. For the
thanksgiving period, Mrs. H. K. De-
muth of Mineral Point and daughters
Misses Alice and Francis, are guests
of Mr.. and Mrs. McKenna. Mrs. De
muth is a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
McKenna and the young ladies are
pupils of the Sacred Heart academy.
The vacation has been very enjoyable
for them at the home of their grand
parents.

a telegram to the daily press from
Joplin, Mo, dated Nov. "a, stated
that ministers of twenty-five towns in
Jasper county, and the Kansas Mis-
souri, zinc mining district. in their
petitions to the Almighty on Thanks
giving Day, would pray for tariff on
ore. The dispatch further stated that
the various ministers throughout
the district all favored this step, and
in every town in the district where
Thanksgiving services are held this
petition will be voiced.
The Democrat does not vouch for
the correctness of the information
contained in the dispatch. However.
suppliants for a tariff on zinc ore
should not direct their petitions to
the Almighty but to Cannon, PAYNE,
Dalzeu ard other standpat Republi-
cans, who think that from the high
protective policy all material blessings
flow. Pray not to the throne of grace
for special privileges of government.

The New York Evening Post calls
attention to an important statement
recently made by Andrew Carnegie,
who above all others, knows whereof
he speaks in regard to labor cost here
and abroad. The post says:
s. MIR. Carnegie in defiance of the
high priori protectionists, who point
to the danger Of inundation of cheap
goods from Germany the "cost per
ton for labor" is greater than with
US, unusually high as our wages are
at PRESENT" Thus is this stone of the
free-traders, rejected all these years
by the tariff builders, made the head
OF the corner. We can but hail Mr..
Carnegie's aid in enforcing truth
which trained economists have long
maintained, but which our lawmakers
have sneered at. With them it has
been automatic that higher wages
mean higher labor cost Mr.. Carne-
gle shows that they may often mean a
lower labor cost"

Light footed
People

We often hear of people having
light and nimble feet, and we
foolishly attribute this in every
case to the fact that it is a natural
buOyancy in the individual. But it
is not anything of the kind. 1t is the
the foot itself that feels an unusual
freedom, Or, in the case of chronic
nimbleness, freedom that is de-
MED to most other feet. In short, the
shoe that is worn on the foot has
very great deal to do with the agility
and buOyancy of the whole body. In
order to demonstrate this yourself,
just get out of the habit of wearing
i'll fitting shoes and put on glove
fitting pair that are we'll built and
of good leather. The difference will
be magical. Your first idea is that
you could jump, walk, run-almOst
fly, because yCnr feet have suddenly
experienced an unwOnted freedom and
appear to give a lightness to the
whole body. We cannot say that a
light foot will make a light heart, but
we think it helps a good deal, just
the same. Suppose you decide to go
into FRIEDEN'S SHOE STORE,
and try on pair of their famous
shoes? They may be a trihe more ex-
expensive than the ordinary kind of
shoes, but the easy comfort and light
ness that your feet gain are we'll
worth the extra cost. And then the
added beauty of the shoe and the
extra durability ought to count as
we'll.
