Fair shone the morning of the second day OF
April The sunlight glistened in every separate
dewdrop on the lawn outside Mrs. Moores break
fast-room windows. Godenly glowed the great
round bosses of crocus and the light blazed
through the colored lamps of the tulips all the
while that meek violets and primroses
equally doing homage to the advent of spring,
after their own sweet and unobtrusive manner.
From the belt of trees and shrubs that marked
the boundary between garden and meadow,
sounded ceaseless succession of warblings, being
the praiseful utterances of sundry blackbirds and
thrushes, who, more polite more amiaby appre-
ciatve of the claims of rival artists that musi-
clans without feathers are sometimes known to

one another's performances by any irregular con-

and himself with it, far into the sky, regardless
OF everything in the world, his personality
included and seemingly intent to desperation on
flying fairly out of it, up to that wondrous centre
of life and light and glory that looked especially
accessible that morning. But then the lark be-
longs to no academy, and like some human poets,
may be supposed unnaturally Indifferent to public
pprobation-fatay obtuse to general criticism.
He sings with reckless abandonment of all
dane considerations, being utterly rapt in his own
lecstacy of Worship and one can imagine the
sentiments of reproachful pity and regret with
which birds of better regulated minds probably
regard their wfu and unorthodox brother.
All this is not so absolutely discursive it may
5seem for no with ears to hear could possibly
look out from Mrs. Moore's breakfast-room win

music which was forever going in that little
grove of trees aforesaid. Certainly Nina Moore

irrelevant matters, on this particular April morn

paid tribute to him for his hesitancy in
rushing into a conflict for which the

criticism from the hotheads of the coun-

THE QUALIFICATIONS OF A
LEADER. lr

In everything there is always one that
is bigger or stronger or wiser than the
others of its kind. This one is invar-
iably the leader 1t is true of men-it
is true of the lower animals-it is true
of business institutions-it is true of
everything.
The shoe manufacturing business is
no exception to the ruIe-there is one
leader which is so unqualifiedly the
leader that none ever attempt to dis
pute the leadership.
This leader is the Hamilton, Brown
Shoe company. For thirty-seven years
this house has been the largest shoe
house in the world. Its enormous bust
ness has been built up by the quality
of its shoes and the motto which has
been constantly before every worker in
the business, Keep the quality up
One of the most striking proofs that
the quality is there and is recognized
by the people who buy good shoes is
that during the past year when business
conditions were unfavora Bile, the sales
| ON the American Lady and American
Gentlemen shoes increased more than
| SS25000 over the sales of the year 1907
So great has become the demand for
these American Lady and American
Gentlemen shoes that the Hamilton,
| Brown Shoe company felt the need for
| eastern headquarters TO take care of
their greatly increasing business in the
hotbed of the New England shoe indus
| try. Negotiations We're opened which
| quite recently resulted in the purchase
| of the old established business of
Batcbelder & lincoln of Boston.
The acquisition of the business. which
has been made the eastern headquarters
| of the Hamilton, Brown Shoe company
and which win provide an enormous
outlet for Hamilton, Brown shoes in the
east, makes it certain that the fifteen
| million mark will Immediately be passed
| and a new mark of twenty million must
| be set. It also greatly increases the
| leadership of the Hamilton. Brown Shoe
company so that it is not likely to ever
| be assailed.
The buildings and factories of the
Hamilton. Brown Shoe company in the
east and west have a street frontage
half a mile long. If placed one upon
| another would make building sixty
stories high covering an area of st, 400
| square feet.

BREAD LINE seen
BY JUDGE GARY
Steel Magnate Goes Down N
His Pocket to Help Untor-
tunate New Workers.

New York, Dec. 13.-As the result OF
a visit paid to the Bowery mission by
former Judge E. II. Gary. head OF the
United States Steel corporation, al an
early hour today, that mission is sew
eral thousand dollars richer.
Also. as further result, a movement
NAV be instituted TO bring about the
massage of a law To provide for the
TRANSPORTATION of deserving Americans
TO places in the west where positions
may be offered them.
Several DAYS ago Judge Gary made
arrangements with the BOwery MISSION
To visit this strange oasis in the des-
ert of New York's underworld. Rev
John G.. Hammond, superintendent OF
the mission, and Dr.. Charles vincent
Herdiiska. sociological worker, formed
a reception committee With Judge
Gary were Mrs. Gary. Captain Henry

number of others.

mines out west" said Captain De la
Mar.
1t was this remark that brought up
the question of transportation and the
desirability of a law that would make
it possible for men to be transport
ed at public expense TO distant points,
the same as immigrants are transported
by the federal gONernment.

Puerto Cabello TO La Guaira at a dis
lance of 300 yards from the shore. Later
the two cruisers went to Maracaibo
where they made similar demonstration.
IL is understood that thei batteship De
Ruijten is now on its way to Willemstad,
where II will join the others in cOntinu-
ing the demonstration against Venezuela.
The naval force of Venezuela consists
of ten vessels. OF these three, the Boil
var, Miranda and Maragarita, are gun
boats. The others, with the exception of
the Restaurador, which was formerly the
steam yacht ATLANTA, are hardly worthy
of mention They are nothing more than
armed tugs. There is one underground
gun on the RestauradOr but outside of
this there is not gun in the fleet bigger
than a six-pounder. The forts. however,
mount some modern siX-inch Krupp guns.

History of the Trouble.

The situation between Venezuela and
The Netherlands has been strained for
some months. The trouble arose indirect
ly from the expulsion from Caracas of
NJ. De Reus the diplomatic representa-
tive of Holland, but 1t had already been
rendered acute by the course Of Venezu-
Ella in issuing a decree on May IA last
that practically killed the commerce of
Curacao.
President Castro refused to withdraw
this decree, Notwithstanding the fact that
Holland issued an ultimatum that she
would take retaliatory measures unless
he took prompt cognizance of her de-
mands.
Castro suggested that Holland send a
representative to Caracas to confer with
him on this subject, but this The Neither
land government declined to, do. With
out waiting. however 10 ascertain u-betb-
er or not this suggestion would be adopt-
ed. Castro sailed for Europe.
Other incidents that have added to the
iil-feeling have been the stoppage of
Dutch sailing vessels at Sc BY the au-
thorities of Venezuela and e storTning
of the Venezuelan consula at Willem-
stad by mob.
Prepared to Resist.
Venezuela has made preparations to re-
sist any act of hostility. The forts at Ia
Guaira- Puerto Cabelio and Maracaibo
have been reinforced with men and uu-
nitions. but until Saturday no untoward
act occurred which would give Venezuela
an opportunity to answer force with
