MEAL EATING AND SHOES.

How the Spread Of Veeetarlanlsm
May Boost Price Of Footwear.
There are SIX really big shoe fac
tories in the United States. These
turned out 25,00O.OO0 pairs of shoes
last year. Shoes to the value OF s10,.
10000 were sent abroad, and the re-
mainder, valued at s340 ,OOo. 900, were
used in this country. Although the
trade in rubbers increases every year.
only $70,O00,O 900 was spent for such
things last year.
We are told that the preaching of
vegetarianism interiors greatly with
the shoe business. Last year Germans
took a notion to eat less meat and,
according to the Bookkeeper, the shoe
manufacturers in the land of the
Kaiser were in despair. 1t is neces-
sary to sell a great deal Of meat in
order that hides may be obtained
without loss.
This Is another instance Of the need
Of cooperation between manufactiT-
ers Of all kinds. Unless Swift and
Armour and the other packers are
able to sell their goods the factories
N the East must do with less leather.
When the factories are forced to get
dong with less leather the world must
-et along with fewer shoes, and must
iso pay a higher price for those Il
ioes buy
It is Interesting to know that the
'oreign shoe trade is constantly in
-easing. American salesmen are en-.

DUTY.


Duty is an old-fashioned word, but
4 is well to keep it in ones vocabu-
'sry. Some young people imagine
hat duty is something desperate, difl-
;ult and unpleasant Some think Of
only as connected with going to
hurch and missionary work. To some
means great sacrifice that man is
allied on to make on one or two great
occasions in a lifetime. To many it is
!, word bearing no pleasant impress
ION. And many more do not think
bout It at all. Duty is not a thing
or special occasions, nor does 1t re-
uire any great courage or sacrifice.
do ones duty is simply to do right,
daily and hourly responsibility. It is
mes duty to be honest and kind; to
'e cheerful and make happiness; to
lelight in every good and beautiful
hing. "The reward of one duty is
he power to fulfill another."-Mil-

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in Al
The Leading Stocks.

New York, July 4.-Operators in stocks
were confirmed in their inclination to re-
frain from dealing today owing to the IN
consequent and indecisive movement OF
the market for several days past. lnfiu-
ences towards hating the speculative
movement were found in the news from
the crop regions. Basic confidence in
the outcome of the harvests underles the
determination with which stocks are held
by present owners. Such incidents as
tOday's panic amongst the bears in wheat
are sufficient, however, to deter Specu-
lators from committing themselves undu-
ly with a period to face during which
crop scares are not an impossibility, and
which all the ingenuity and resources for
exaggeration of a bear party in stocks
would have to be counted on to magnify.
The good news from the corn crop may
have had an influence on the sharp rise
in the st. Louis & San Francisco stocks.
These were getting belated benefit also
from the placing of the company's bonds

ter a plucky attempt to score victory

weir quickly realized it was all over
Roseben will always be remembered
at Dave Johnson's greatest medium
Tor plunging wagers. 1t is impossible
to say how much money johnson won
and lost on the races run by the Ben
Strome gliding, but the amount ran up
into Sly figures beyond a doubt.
When johnson brought Roseben from
John A. Drake, the latter offered the
opinion that the Big Train was nothing
more than Splinter and could not win
from good horses at distances over
seven turlongs. But Johnson, after
seeing Roseben pick up as much as lat
pounds and win six furlong dashes in
a gs,llop was convinced that the Ben
Strolre gelding could hold his own
at longer distances. IT was two years
ago that Johnson b elieved Roseben had
the Metropolitan Handicap. one mile,
at his mercy, and SO firm was the
plunger's confidence that he wagered
$4,000, only to see the great Splinter
quit after going seren furlongs.
