LONG STEP TO SAVE SHOE
CAUSES A DIVORCE SUIT
Economies of Champion Mean Man
Explained by Wife-Son Told
How Much Leather
Is Wasted

NEWARK, N. j., July 10. -"You
must not contract the extravagant
habit of taking short steps, my son.
See that you are a good, economical
boy, and take the longest steps you
can. Then you won't recklessly waste
your shoe leather"
This was the amazing parental adj
monition given from three to twelve
times day to the young son of the
champion of all the worlds champion
mean men-Henry Eckhard, formerly
of this city, who is now being sued for
divorce.
Eckhard, whose present whereabouts
are stated to be unknown by his wife,
the complainant in the divorce suit,
had a love for economy which
amounted to passion, according to
the facts appearing from the litiga-
ton.
The thing which he held in particu-
lar horror was the taking of short
steps. That, in Eckhard's view, was
one of the deadliest of the many deadly
sins Of extravaganza. ITO take a short
STEP" Eckhard used to say, when
you can take long one, is the worst
bit of reckless waste know Of"
He used to expound this doctrine not
only to his wife, but to his son. The
boy was years old. The youngster
would look up at MS laLner WITH Inucn
gravity, listen to the paternal orders
and proceed nearly to do the splits
in his endeavor to be a "good, econom-
ical boy" in his fathers eyes.
Don't you see," Eckhard used to
demand of his son and wife. during the
days daily exploitation of his theory
that it is shockingly foolish to take
a lot OF short steps? You can take a
long step just as we'll as a short one
Just figure out how much less your
shoes will be hitting the pavement Il
you take long steps in the course OF a
block instead of lot of short ones.
TITS wearing out shoes without any
reason For the three of us you can see
that in the course of a few years this
item alone will mount up to terrible
lot of money. Take long steps-long
long ones. You're nothing more nor
less than a spendthrift if you take
short strides"
| Mrs. Eckhard, who lives at 231 East
Kinney street, this city, also states
that her husband used to number the
apples, eggs and potatoes so that he
could keep track OF them. He used also
to mark the sticks in packages of mac
aroni so that there would be no ex-
travagance in their use.

The Tribune has asked Mr.. Bryan
what legislative feats he could per
form IL elected, since he would have tc
reckon with a republican senate Tc
that he has made a lame reply. Thai
is not the only pertinent question
which could be put to MI. Bryan. Why
does not he go into details when de-
scribing the legislation he would rec
ommend to congress If he had an op
portunity? He has said there are i'm
portant reforms which he is eager tc
carry out, but when he has set out to
discuss them he has led his hearers
through a maze OF high sounding but
vague Or meaningless phrases. There
'hase been n 10 ambiguity in his abuse Of

VICTORY IN THE ATMOSPHERE

The earnest, matter-of-fact manner
in which the republicans of this county
have gone about the nomination OF
their candidates presages victory.
Every nominee Is a worthy one and
has the right to expect the united
strength of his party. There should
be no compromising, no trading no
agreements, by which any candidate
on the ticket shall be sacrificed. Let
every nominee and every republican
who stands for his party make up their
minds that the entire ticket is good
enough and do their level best TO elect
1t, from top to bottom.
Reports from over the state indicate
that this Is a year of splendid repub-
lican county tickets and there is great
confidence among the republicans of
Wyoming that they will have one of
the greatest victories ever achieved.
This result is foreshadowed by the
splendid meetings accorded Senators
Warren and Clark and Congressman
MondeIl in the northern and central
portions Of the state.
1t is true that there are some good
men on tho democratic ticket; they are
all good citizens; but they are not bet.
ter citizens, nor do they average as
well as the nominees on the republican
ticket, hence there should be discrim-
nation on the part of all republicans
in favor of their own ticket.

IS THIS
A
SQUARE
DEALT

A. H. Cordiner makes this square
deal offer because he Is authorized to
do so by the makers Of Mona tablets,
and he Is willing to have this state
ment appear in The Laramie Repub-
| lican because he knows the offer is
genuine.
And while it may be that there are
about eight cases in one hundred that
| are too far gone for Mona to cure,
we T willing and ready to take all
| the chances, and II Mona does not
cure, any ~dyspeptic can have his
money back.
Even with this liberal offer, A. H,
Cordiner will not have to refund but
a very small percentage, because the
eight incurable dyspeptics will find Sc
much relief In Mi-o-na that they will
once again look urpn the sunny side
| of life, and will continue to use Mi-o-na
Now, reader, you may say how can
the makers Of Mi-o-na make such an
offer? How do they know that 80
per zen of the users will be cured,
and that the other s per cent, OF the
incurables, Will be-relieved?
Why, It's all very simple. We've
made this same offer in 1000 towns
before we made 1t here, and we have
figured out the percentage, so that
when we make the statement we know
It to be absolutely true
