Teeth of a Shark.

In respect to its dentitiOn the shark
Is very remarkable creature. The
white shark has seven rows of teeth,
while other species vary in the num-
Der of rows they possess. 1t must be
understood. however. that the shark
only uses one row at time. The
other rows lie down inside the mouth
behind the edge of the jaw. erecting
themselves when it is time for them to
take successfully the place of the first
row. When one observes how keen
edged these incisors are it seems no
wonder that they can bite off big
rope as readily as if it were thread.

ESS than ten years ago we started
~ the first modern method shoe fac
tory in the South.
This year we will manufacture more
shoes than any of our competitors IN
such old and well-known markets as
New York, Philadelphia and Balti-
more, although some of these manufaC-
turers have been doing a successful
business for thirty or forty years.
We have demonstrated that we can
manufacture shoe which will wear
longer than other shoes, and will look
we'll as long as it lasts. We have dem
onstrated that our workmanship is
superior to the workmanship in the
factories of the West, and that it equals
the workmanship put on shoes of the
same price made anywhere on earth.
We are selling more shoes in the
South than any of our competitors.
We are the only manufacturers outside
of New England who have ever been
able to sell their product successfully
in the large Eastern cities, such as
Baltimore, Philadel phia, New y ork and
Boston. Our values justify our selling
our product anywhere. We prefer sell
ing the output of our factories in the
South, as this is our legitimate territory.
If you are not buying your shoes from
us, write us at once, and we will notify

CROCODILE TEARS.
Old Legends That the Brutes Shed
Them Over Their Prey.


Them Over Their Prey.
There was an old story. to which we
find constant reference in EliZabethan
writer's. that crocudiles wept over
,heir prey No doubt the legend arose
because the crocodile possesses large
ly developed lachrymal glands. tut II
appears in various amusing forms.
AS early as the fourteenth century.
in "MandevilIe's Travels" we find: "ln
that contre ben great plentee of Coka
driles THESE serpentes slen men. and
thei eten hem wepynge"
An odd turn is given to the tale by
the narrator OF one of Sir John Haw-
kins' voyages. Whether he was mar
ried man or not we do not know. but
he writes: His nature is ever when
he would have his prey. to cry and
sob like Christian body. to provoke
them to come to him. and then he
snatched at them. And thereupon
came this proverb. that Is applied unto
women when they weep. Lachrymae
crocodile. the meaning whereof is that
as the crocodile when he crieth goeth
them about most to deceive. so doth a
woman most commonly when she
weepeth."
In Fuller's "Worthies" there is the
| added information that the crocodile's
tears are never true save when he is
forced where saffron groweth." Shake
speare. Spenser and Dryden allude tc
this old world fancy.
