A Shortage in Goods is Possible.

A few days ago, writing of the
gradual revival of trade since last
fall, the Chicago Evening Journal
said in its financial columns:
when the turn comes it will no
doubt be very rapid. One thing to
make it so will be the shortage of
stock all over the country. When
merchants begin to buy goods they
are likely to stampede each other
That is general comment; here is
one similar in tone, applied to a parti-
cular industry; it is quoted from the
Shoe and Leather Reporter
Men who are in position to form
an accurate opinion of conditions in
the shoe and leather industry say
that the present situation is unparal-
cid, and that the trade is facing the
most serious shortage of leather ever
experienced.
THE situation, according to them,
is this: Large decrease in number of
shoes manufactured, unprecedented
scarcity of hide, large decrease in
tanning operations, diminished whole
sale and retail stocks, and combined
with all this, steady demand from
the consumer for footwear demand
which has shown practically no dim
mutton since last year. The people
must have shoes, and when the strong,
steady demand makes itself felt
through the retailer to the wholesaler
and to the manufacturer, and through
him to the tanner and the packer,
there is going to be marked tighten
ing up somewhere in fact, all along
the line.
These two forecasts of market con-
ditions, made by influential journals,
deserve the attention of intelligent
dealers who wish to be fully abreast
of, or even ahead of the 5.
MANY dealers are y no off from

The locals scored in the eighth.
Katz, who up to that inning. had not
been doing any extraordinary stick
work, leaned against one of Clark's
benders, pounding it out for two
sacks. Ahern's hit scored him.
Pennock in center field made SEN
saitonal play pronounced by many to be
the best of the season.

Stuffed Peppers.

This is the most common and one of
the most satisfactory ways of serving
green peppers. Select sweet peppers
of uniform size, wash and plunge in
boiling salted water. Let them sim
mer five minutes. drain. cut off the
stem ends, and remove the seeds and
soft inside. Wipe. stuff with any
fOrcemeat desired. replace the covers,
brush with oil. Set in baking pan
and bake for fifteen or twenty min
utes. basting frequently with stock or
melted butter Among the forcemeats
specially suited to green peppers are
minced sausage meat mixed with
grated onion. buttered bread crumbs,
parsley and lemon, bread crumbs and
minced ham, well seasoned with but
ter, salt and parsley and mOistened
with tomato juice. cooked veal. chicken
or half and half, veal and chicken
with soft bread crumbs. seasonings of
salt, summer savory and thyme and
stock or butter to moisten. Ham and
chicken in combination make good
fOremeat, as does half cupful OF
minced boiled ham or tongue with a
cupful of fine bread crumbs. onion
juice. parsley, melted butter. and salt
to season. Nuts and rice make an
other good forcemeat, using half as
much chopped nuts as hot boiled rice
seasoning with little butter. tomato
and salt. Baste frequently with hot
salted water, with stewed tomato stock
or beef extract dissolved in hot water

! If We assume. for the sake of argu-
ment and only for the sake of argu-
ment that the twenty young women
graduates of the Arts and Crafts in
/ stitute OF this city shall undertake to
/ found an Adamless Eden in Wyoming,
and assume for the sake of argument,
and for no other reason, that twenty
! male graduates of the same institute
shall carry out their threat of starting
an Eveless Eden within a few miles of
| the Adanless Eden. then it will be in
teresting to Speculate upon a few
things that are very likely to happen.
| In the first place, the young women
have already decided, so it is reported.
TO employ men to break ground and do
whatever other heavy work is neces-
sary to be done in an Adamless Eden
AS Old men are far from being plenti-
full III Wyoming. and especially old
men who are disposed or who are COM
PEELED to do heavy work, it is to be
presumed that the AGamless Ewes will
be forced to employ young men, and.
prehaps. the young men from the Eve
less Eden. to do the rough work that
they want done
1t is also one of the earliest rumors
on the subject that the young men will
do only the heavy or rough work in
their Eveless Eden, and that. there
fore. they propose to employ number
of suitable women to attend to the
light work of the colony and to look
after their mending. etc.
Women are very scarce in Wyoming
especially young women, and more
especially unmarried women, and it is
possible that the Eveless Adams may
be driven to negotiating with the
Adamless Ewes for some of their time
before the problem of female help in
the Eveless Eden can be satisfactorily
solved
1t was, therefore, a happy though
which prompted the Adamless Ewes to
select site in Wyoming near the spot
which the Eveless Adams would select
as the site of their colony later. and
it was an equally happy thought which
led the EveleSs Adams to plan to set
tie near the site selected by the Adam
less Ewes.
Even If the members of one Eden
shall refuse to engage with the other
Eden for hire the Ewes can, if they
are disposed to be friendly. sew on
buttons and patches for the Adams.
simply as Il matter of kindness. while
the Adams can. if they wish to be
friendly. reciprocate my splitting wood
and doing the heavy tasks for the
Ewes.
In this way. We should think. friend
ly intercourse between the two col
Onies might grow until after a time
the Adams might call upon the Ewes
quite frequently. and the Ewes. in or

LET NOT REGRET.

Regret is vain and only chills the
thrObbing heart.
The past is gone, with it We have no
part;
Ours is the future. wide stands it's
open door,
'TiS true We've made mistakes and
may make more:
But let them go, and let their memory
die
Look to the morning. where Hope
paints bright the sky.
Hope warns the heart, illuminates the
mind,
Upon her fair white limbs Fear can
no fetters bind.
If memory brings regret then shuts it
out.
And bids Hope enter, who never has a
doubt;
She'll cheer and bless you. kiss your
tears away,
And if you let her, will always with
you stay.
Build up your soul, and make it strong
and fair.
BY looking at the good, 'ts round you
everywhere.
What men call evil is undeveloped
good.
We'd all be better If we only could.
But we never can. until we drive
away
The phantom past, with all it's dark
array
OF grinning skulls, and cOrpses dark
and cold,
From memory's graveyard, long grown
gray and old.
Regret is the mother of Despair,
OF Sorrow, and Remorse. all hard
things to bear.
Ghosts of the past, all-they have nc
right
To mock our present joy. or steal
away delight.
So let us bury them in a common
grave
And face the future. light-hearted
strong and brave;
Forget the past. and blot it from your
sight.
And bathe your soul in morning s
healthful light
Regret. sad face? Just turn it to the
wall.
The past is gone-gone far beyond re-
call
Don't let the heart grow old, but laugh
and live,
And seize and hold each joy that life
can give.
AS busy bee takes sweets from every
flower,
So let us gather sweet from every
passing hour;
Our dreams and lOngings, the visions
that We see,
Are prophecies of things that are tc
be;
space.
No end to the possibilities Of the race
Millions of years with myriad joys in
store.
Stretch out before us in the "ever
more"
Why then spend time In sorrow OF
regret.
When all the future lies before us
YETI
Perhaps some joy we've missed, some
duty left behind it,
But with opportunity we again shall
find
Is freedom you wish? Then you'll be
free,
You always may be what you wish tc
be;
No star is lost we once have it seen
We always may be what we might
have been.
