SIDELIGnTS ON THE CENSUS.


In an article with the foregoing
caption, Whitman Osgood gives. in
the December number OF the National
Magazine. some interesting facts re-
garding the coming national ensus.
upon which the enumerators will go
to work in about three weeks. He
says:

The Hagerman Alarm Clock
That Cost $4,000.

How an alarm clocks dilatorS
workings cost Il citizen of the Pecos
valley of New Mexico $40, 200 is q
story that has just come to light.
j. j. HageTman, the pioneer capi-
talist and railroad builder of the re-
glon, was the victim. j. j. Hager-
man is dead now-he has died since
this occurrence-which was last
spring late, but he told the incident
before his death and it is now going
the rounds among the men whose YER
acity is unquestloned.
Reing a pioneer settler, Mr.. Wager
man was a pioneer in many other
things. For years he had raised the
finest apples in the Pecos valley, eX-
cept when a late cold spell came and
killed them. He was the pioneer APP
pie grower of the region, and when
the practice of "~smudging" came into
use in other sections. he became the
pioneer smudger, in the battle against
the cold.
Smudging meal building fires in
pots or kettles at various intervals
throughout an orchard and keeping
them smoking during tie period when

one night last spring the nudge
pots were prepared for the Hagerman
apple orchard and all hands were as
signed to sections in the great forest
OF trees TO smudge. Each man set an
alarm clock to awaken him at the
hour and all were on duty
all but one man-when the call came. |
This man was not missed for half an
or more and in the meantime the
frost had done its work. He was
awakened and reprimanded. but pro-
tested that his alarm clock had failed
to work. The superintendent tested
il and found this true.
All the apples in the orchard were
except the patch assigned to
man with the recalcitrant clock.
The apples were sold this fall and, |
estimating the area Killed by the
and comparing il with receipts
or the fruits from similar areas in

used, that failure of the alarm

1t is a most admirable style for small
folks.
Quantity md quality both are to be
found at this shop, and unique ideas
mingle in friendly rivalry with staple
styles. Something new in the way OF
fancy toppings in green and brown
suede with patent brown Wei is being
shown, and this same idea is carried
out In little girls shoes. This is quite
an idea, for everybody knows that to
the small lady nothing is more at
tractive than clothes like mama wears.
Speaking of crowds, the Harvard
shoe store at 20S West Second street
is entirely too small to accommodate
its patrons.
This is especially so on Saturday
night, and there IRE no bargain sales
either. This store belongs to the
Burns Farnsworth company, which
maintains another aristocratic shoe re-
treat at 1888 South Broadway. At this
latter store a unique window display
shows half a hundred lasts, each wear
ing different style. The West Second
street store is devoted to boys and
mems shoes, and although only five
months in It's present location, is
breaking all records for popularity
I'VE carry shoes for all the family"

street. 1--WE have only been in this
location one week. but already father
and mother see in us their true friends
when 1t comes to buying shoes Tor
Bobbie and the rest of the boys and
girls. We want children who give us
real shoe problems to solve, women
who complain bitterly that they never
know what shoe comfort is and men
who work hard at labor which requires
standing continually. We are like the
lawyer who said that other people
troubles never depressed him, for he
always found a way out of even the
knottiest situations. That is just the
way we feel about shoe troubles;
there isn't case on earth that we
cannot remedy
The Baker Shoe company likes to
deal with men. and for men its stock IS
unsurpassed. But the pride and JOY of
this store is it's supply of pumps for
women. There is in evidence firm be-
lief in the future of the pump. Suede
in all colors is in the lead. Dark,
woodsy greens and autumn browns,
modish grays and tans give subtle hints
Of artistic gowns that these shoe joys
are destined to become acquainted with.
TWo-hole ties vie with other makes to
the detriment of the others, and that
there are styles even in a shoestring is
borne out by the utter absence of the
prominent bow of ribbon.

After visiting Seattle, Tacoma, Port
land and San Francisco, the Chicago
representative of the DR.. Reed Cushion
Shoe quickly decided to locate its dis
tributing house here, and coy home
for this celebrated shoe has been htted
up at 742 South Broadway.
When asked, "1n what respect does
your shoe differ from other so-calied

Like the spring tonic they take back

erell the Patrician shoe is neces,
sary adjunct to every household, ana
no one should be without pair.
A mans shoe with high heels seems
oddly inconsistent. 1t is a style that
comes as a natural outgrowtn OF the
fad that dictates mems styles TOT
womens styles for men. AT the liam
ilton shoe company there is something
very daring in the oxford model. high

The bronze shoe, seen in the begin
ming only in the parlor and drawing
room. has put on street airs and now
walks abroad quite boldly. In Bull
locks shoe department is displayed a
model that should have new WORD
coined for 1t. Failing in this, we shali
call 1t classy, for it is all that ana

aristocratic in this new last as 1t ever
was in the drawing room styles. A
patent two-hole tie with tiny necktie

locks novelties; indeed, a visit to this
very beautiful abode for foot cover
ings is replete with shoe pleasures

tints and shades: in fascinating con-
trasts' of feathers and fabrics, orna-
mented in barbaric, mediaeVal and
modern patterns, in styles, cuts and
curves bewilderingly beautiful and nu-
merous.
Scientific research has been applied
to all departments of shoemaking, but
1t remained for the Regal Shoe COM
pany to apply science to the putting
in and drawing out of the foot. Just
what the wrong method means Is
shown in the following verbatim quo
tation from a circular issued by Regal
manufacturers:
"Regal shoes are now being made on
the new Regal-form lasts, invented and
owned exclusively by us. When a
Regal shoe made on this last is finish
ed, the Regal form last is withdrawn
in sections-first part A, then part b.
The great advantage of this Regal
form last is that it enables Regal
shoes to be shaped in perfect proper
tion at the instep or waist" dupli-
eating the snugness found heretofore
only in the highest-priced custom
shoes. All other ready-to-wear shoes
are built on old-style lasts and must
therefore be made large enough at the
waist" to allow the broad part of the
last to be withdrawn. That is why
they are SO apt to sag and wrinkle at
the 'WdlSL uQQeT the 11lSI6D.
Regal quarter sizes have given thou
sands of people the only perfect fit
they ever obtained in ready tow
shoes, and it is we'll to remember that
Regal quarter sizes offer you double
the number of fittings.
A good shoebrush and a shoe tree
are absolutely necessary, Mr.. Vande-
grift says, if the shoe wear it's life out,
slowly and naturally. The new brush

nothing more nor less than a good
last. All these helps are of use in pro-
longing the life of the shoe, which
must go the way of all material things
If it be neglected.
Everything in covering for tiny
toes, from the soft bootee to the
orthopedic last for school children and
dignified styles for misses, is included
in the stock at the Staub's store. 1t
is a lesson in the care modern condi-
lions give to baby feet to see this dis
play, and many and sensible are the
suggestions for those who wish above
all things for comfort for their chill
dren.
Matera medica is loud in its de-
nunciation of the needs we are apt 20
designate as those of higher civiliza-
ton, and attempts are being made to
return our infants to their primitive
condition at least in regard to feet.
For those who do not wish to go
barefooted there are the barefoot SAN
dals for boys and girls. For the wee
baby there are dainty white canvas
nothings embroidered in bow knots; for
the first shoes dear soft soled things
and moccasins in blue and pink, as
pink as the toes themselves; Indian
moccasins with fringe and beads, and
tiny house shoes trimmed in fur; and
then a big jump to boys dancing
pumps with ankle strap and outing
