donned her prettiest clothes, and stands or sits in her iron-barerd win dow to watch the pageant of the promenade. She lanquidly inspects the passing show and expects a return of the compliment. That Is what the good clothes were put on for, that Is why she is sitting at the window. The iron gratings look like prison bars to the provincial American who was reared on a wide front porch. but they do not detract from the beauty of the woman behind them. Indeed, some of the gratings are beautiful examples of the skill of the bent-iron craftsman.
 A little later. as dusk falls. one may see many young men standing outside these barred windows making love to the unapproachable damsels within. Playing bear is the great game Of the Latin Romeo. It Is not to be imagined that the boys and girls Of Havana find fewer delights in court ship than those of the United States who are given so much wider liberty.
 After dinner the whole city pours its life into the parks and streets. Count less coaches are darting here anu there, whole families come together In the park to listen to the band, the people of fashion are going to the opera and the great multitude Is stroll ing up and down the Prado. Toward midnight the cafes begin to fill up. There are miles and miles of these places. all open on the street and all ablaze with light. bite to cay. sup to drink. and the aimless, ioafins pleasure of the day is done. Ameri- can rule has made Havana clean, put 1t has not quickened It's pace nor changed its idle way,

WOAIEN's SHOES.
Plan to Fix Exact Sizes Meets With
 OpposltiOn.


 Opposition. Chicago, Jan, 14.-A proposition of the national boot and shoe manufac- turers in convention in New York to stamp exact sizes on women's shoes has awakened opposition on the prop osition on the part of Chicago retail dealers. They say that the plan will not do here. and from what they know of the nature of the fair sex, it will not do anywhere.
 At present few women's shoes are marked with sizes known to the pub lie. The shoe daler has his own prI- vate mark.
 We deceive no one in regard to the material or size" said one dealer. '.If a woman calls for a shoe three sizes too small. she will get 1t If she insists, But we first measure her and see if she does not want a shoe that fits. If she wants 1t to pinch. that is none of our business. Most women have no idea as to what size of shoe they are wear ing,
 "The majority of women are vain in regard to their shoes. They buy shapes that make the foot look smaller. I don't think the association will take any such action. It would only make trouble for the dealers ana do no good"

DECLARES HIS
 INNOCENCE
 - ). B. Newsone Given Preliminary Hearing. lADMITs PASSING PHoNY MONEY Says He Found Both Dies and Counterfeits. xs Bound over by United states Conn asissiener Fillmore in Sum of $500 ss Await Federal Grand
 
PASSING PHONY MONEY

After . preliminary hearing before Commissioner John A. Fillmore. J. B Newsome, the white man who was ar- rested in Eufaula charged with coun- terfeiting, was bound over to await the action of the Federal Grand Jury, in the sum of $500. Several prima faeie cases were made against tho prisoner, though the single bail of $500, was set by the Commissioner as sufficient. This Newsome failed to furnish, and he was locked up in the county jail.
 At the preliminary trial several wit nesses from Eufaula were present, in- ciuding two policemen of the town, and three women, to each of whom 1t is alleged. Newsome had slipped his "phony" money in exchange for silver.
 The two policemen of Eufaula told of the arrest of Newsome, testifying that they had found, in his trunk and upon his person, several wooden dies, and three spurious bills, apparently the out put of tine crude paraphernalia. New some admitted the possession of the dies and the money, though he declared that he had found them, and that they were not the product of his ingenuity.
 The money and the apparatus for mak- ing 1t are crude. the dies being mere slabs of wood. carved with knife into various patterns. The carved outlines were smered with paint, black, green or yellow, as the denomination of the bill called for, and the plain white paper stamped with the design. The counterfeit bills. as offered for evidence. were easy of detection. as the wood carving was rude and were only passed. as the witnesses testified during the night, or late in the afternoon, when the fading light rendered close ex- animation impossible.
 The witnesses declared that the bills were passed upon them in payment of purchase of small amount, and that change was given in every instance. Newsome was arrested upon the de- nunciation of a negro woman, who had come in possession of one of the bills, and who afterward tried to pass 1t. Finding 1t spurious, her story and de- scription led to the arrest of Newsome. who was we'll known about Eufaula. He Is a resident of Dale county. near Ozark.
 Newsome. a little. wizened old man. with bleared eyes and unkempt appear ance, steadfastly asserts his innocense declaring that he found the money and the dies. He admits giving a bill to one of the witnesses, in exchange for half n dollar. and says that he told her. at the transaction that he was not cer- ain as to whether or not the bill was good. As to making the money. how ever, he swears innocence.
