COMING WEST.
Shoe Industry Gradually Leaving
Eastern Coast.

Massachusetts, and Connecticut are
generally thought of as the big shoe
manufacturing states, but. as the great
west has become more densely popu-
lated, these states are slowly losing
prestige. vs. rs
Wisconsin,, for instance, has the
largest manufacturer of full vamp
shoes in the world-The. F. Mayer
Boot G. Shoe Co. of Milwaukee. The
market for this company's product is
the great west from the Mississippi
to the Pacific. Undoubtedly it is Mil
waukee's nearness to this great west
market which is responsible for the
great growth of this concern which
has been in proportion to the growth
of the west. In the last rs years they
have outgrown six factories. Includ-
ing the new Seattle factory nearly
completed and the Milwaukee factory
annex built this last year the total
capacity of the Mayer Boot & Shoe
Company exceeds 5000 pairs per day.
which already has been inadequate to
meet the demand of the west.

DEFENSE OF THE BACHELOR.
Baltimore Man Points Out a Few
Facts Generally Overlooked.

AS a matter of fact. 1t is obvious
that more crimes are committed by
married men than by single men. for
the simple reason THAT many offenses
exceedingly popular among the former
are entirely impossible to the latter.
One such crime is wife murder. How
could single man murder his wife?
There are IT'S wife murderers in the
United States every year. and all are
committed by married men. Again,
consider the crime of demonicide, or
mother-in-law killing. Its practice is
confined entirely to married men. And
forget not the lesser felonles and mis-
demeanors. How could single man
elope with his wife's sister? How
could he desert his children? How
could he commit bigamy? How could
he fiirt with his wifes maid? How
could he be accused of non-support?
What incentive is there for him to
cheat the gas meter, swindle the In
stalment man or rob his brother-in-
law at poker? Being prosperous, well
fed and happy-as all bachelors are
why should he steal. forge, embezzle.
burgle or fight ?-Baltimore Sun.

Character begins in the cradle.


1t is asserted by good authority that
nearly all the rare art antiquities to
be found in the museums OF various
countries have at some time in their
history been the possession of thieves.
Valuable vestments and rare old paint
ings are stolen every year from
churches where they are valued more
highly than gold of their own weight.
A gentleman well versed in such
matters tells us that Napoleon stole
the nose from off the Sphinx that he
might carry 1t home as q relic to be
placed in a curio museum. And had
not the Pyramids been of such pro-
portion and weight they would now
be gracing the different museums OF
the world, reposing in fragments In
glass fronted cases.

WORDS OF WARNING.

That Enemy Had Been Lying
in Wait.

New York-That a whispered warn
ing in the dark by the ghost of his dead
wife saved him from death by assas-
sination is the belief of Charles Henry
Durand. farmer living in the hills
near Caldwell. N. j. His strange story
is being used as clew by the au-
thorities. Durand says that late the
other night as he was driving home
from Paterson his horse stopped in
the road and began to tremble. In
vain he urged the animal to proceed.
1t would not bulge.
Suddenly the air became oppres-
sive and faint light like distant heat
lightning appeared. Then gradually
amid the dim flashes white figure as
sumed vague form beside the wagon.
Durand himself commenced to quake.
He tried to get out of the buggy. but
his limbs refused to obey his will.
After an interval the apparition in
white spoke In a whisper. He recog-
nized in fear and trembling the voice
of his dead wife.
There is danger at home. Stay
away till morning." the voice said.
. Cold chills crept over Durand.
Scarcely had the supernatural warn
ing been uttered when the ghost van
ished. 1t took the farmer some time
to recover his nerve, and then he
found the horse would not take step
forward. He took off the harness. and
after two hours work brought the sni-
NAL out of Its chill and slowly pro-
ceeded homeward. Though badly
scared he did not put much faith in
the warning that had been whispered
to him in such an uncanny way. So

torman had taken the precaution to
remove the controller and the con
ductor had pulled the trolley two feet
down from the overhead wire and tied
1t to the car. sHF
While the car was standing all by
itself employees eating in the car barns
noticed a peculiar electric disturbance
in the air. and could hear also a
strange sound, half moan, half boot
unlike any sound they had ever heard
before. One man wanted to go out and
Investigate. but his companions
laughed at him and told him the
sound was merely the ordinary noise
of trolley spool on wire. Prob
ably the spool was stir, they said.
Just then a hatless man dashed to
the door and cried that the car that
had been standing outside was moving
away on Its own account. with its troll
ley pole two feet short of the wire.
The laughing men left their food and
hurried out in time to see the car
rapidly disappearing.
Although the cars trolley pole was
way short OF the wire, it was splitting
showers of sparks. Some of the men
declared positively that distinct
sulphurous smell filled the air.
The car was away two hours. In
that time 1t was seen by hundreds OF
persons. 1t ran the full length Of the
trip to Hackensack, doubled the troll
ley there, and came back to the East
Rutherford barn. where 1t started.
Then II stopped of its own accord.
One man who had followed 1t in an
automobile. declares the car invariably
slowed down when in danger of over
taking a car ahead. Since none Of the
persons who met it knew anything
about trolley cars no one dared to
board It,
Expert electricians who examined
the car after its return to the barn
were unable to find anything wrong
with 1t. The whole occurrence Is pro-
found mystery.
