Shoe Trade Notes.
By T. J. W.

ByT.J.w.
Latest reports from crop condi-
ton prophets indicate satisfactory |
returns to the producer and dis i
tributor and consequent contin-
uation of large manufacturing
orders. In the shoe manufactur-
ing industry two adverse condi-
tons are present which sometimes
disturb an otherwise happy pros
pect. These are, first, the uncer-
tainty as to what will be the final
action of Congress in regard to
hides and shoes and second, the
continued high price of sole and
upper leather. 1t is the universal
opinion of leading shoe manufac-
turers that prices must be advanc-
ed from ten to twenty cents a pair
in order to make reasonable prof
lit.
In this connection it is interest
ing to note a few Of the twenty
three reasons given by the New
England Shoe and Leather As
ISOLATION why the tariff should be
removed from hides.
"a continuance of the Dingley
tax will eventually canse an adj
vance of fifty cents pair in the
price of shoes.
| ut will also ultimately bring
about the formation of a shoe
manufacturing monopoly by the
meat packers.
"The United States is the only
progressive country that imposes a
duty on hides.
James G.. Blaine nearly twenty
years ago said in advocating free
hides and shoes: 1T is a great
mistake to take hides from the free
Inst where they have been for over
q quarter of century,
, "No. 23-Free hides will benefit
} all the people and enable our man.

Diverse Reflections
BY ERID

In order to be in the social swim
one cannot pause to consider the
cost.
How often can woman change
her mind? As often as she can
wiggle her tongue.
A feminine tea party or gabfest
is about as interesting to the mas
culine sex as the last rose of sum-
mer blown across the River Styx.
Lady Visitor-"And do the wo-
men prisoners have to conform to
the same rules that the men do?''
Ofcial-''Not as to the silent
system or talking rules"
'LittIe technicalities should not
interrupt the proceedings" said
member of the local circle recently.
Probably not, but such little points
have saved many "big gum from
occupying a solitary den.
New Arrival-"Mister officer,
haven't you any interpreting work
that I could do? / speak seven
languages
OMcer-"We speak only one
language here and very little of
that"
Never confide your plans, hopes
or expectations to friend for if
you cannot keep such matters to
yourself then be assured that your
friend may confde your confidence
to a confdant, and in time your
hopes, etc., may become subject
matter for gossipers.
The man who stole a penny from
another and got two years and a
half deserves no sympathy. Let
/, him do his time like a man and his
experience will beget interest so
that upon his release from prison
he will have 'sense" to reward
him for the purloined cent.
Several residents are pleased
with President Taft's policies.
They say they have received no
complaint as yet concerning his adj
ministrative abilities. Hutch, es-
pecially, is pleased, as he recon-
mended Taft for the Presidential
chair, having attended college with
him-Amen.
II want 'er be relieved" said one
of the residents.
"Want to be relieved? What
do you mean?'
Relieved, relieved; let out"
"Oh! You don't want out, you're
all right here"
Eyes I do; I want 'er be re-
lieved."
"What for; what's your reason p
81 want-to-to go-to, to
st. Paul-to-to see-the-the-
the Opera House,
} Truly, when reasons are neces-
sary to gain freedom, genius is
the mother of invention"
The various uses of cotton are
too numerous to mention but
Shylook, a noted (not notorious)
!. runner hereabouts has demonstrate
; ed its value to humanity on hot,
: sultry days. Recently when it
: was very warm, he filled his earlets
J. with cotton so that when someone
would inform him that it was
hot he couldn't hear him. This
is good method to avoid hearing

And the Bird Came Back.

One of the canarjes named Mrs.
Bourne was given to Otto several
months ago. On Tuesday morn
ing last Otto gave the lady bird to
Davy who gave it to a friend on
the outside, who let it "f1y away
in the. air so free"-and about
2 o'clock in the afternoon of the
same day Mrs. Bourne was brought
to The Mirror Office by one Of the
inmates who caught it in the park.
Mrs. Bourne couldn't stay away.
It is now determined to keep her
with a lot of young ones in order
to give her home in her old age.
