shoes and Pretty Feet

Miss Bessie Clifford, the Yama Yama
Girl Of the Three Twins company, which
appears at the Jefferson tonight, says that
pretty woman without a pretty foot is
like ship without an anchor
IAN attractive foot is not necessarily a
small one she declares Few young
women know how to get their shoes to fit
properly. The most important thing is to
see that the sole extends out further than

the foot will have ample room. This

to say that I never participated In a
county primary where there was SO little
bad blood. All the candidates, so far as

result of all this the primary is over with

STYLES IN LOVE LETTERS

From the Washington Post
1t is generally conceded that without
the public reading of love letters, breath
ing the fire of undying devotion. no
modern breach-of- promise case would be
worth the time it takes up in court.
Nobody would listen to the proceedings.
There would not be the slightest salts
faction in listening to the plaintiff re-
citing her story of promises made and
broken, and the defendant telling how
the whole thing was a malicious false
hood, and that the plaintiff couldn't prove
it, anyhow.
Yet that is what of-promse
cases must have been in the old days
of Taylor Train, now incapacitated and
past so. who, for nearly half century,
made it his business to write love let
tiers for .iliterate young men. In fine.
| round hand he wrote courtly billet-doux
| in prose that was akin to poetry. Such
sentences as, IT venture to request your

my thoughts completely absorbed by
one person, that there was no room for
anything or anybody made Trains love

and decorum.
In these swift times. however, the
styles have changed. Now it is, Gee.

your baby to stay away from you, I'll
bet you would pity me. The old girl is
getting suspicious. You had better not
write any more. Meet me at the races
next Saturday. and we will have bird
and a bottle Always know your honey
boy loves you.'
| 1t is no wonder that the defendant
shifts about in his chair as the lawyers
read the letters to the jury. 1t Is no
wonder that crowds now throng the
court room when a acknowledgements
case is being tried. Perhaps there has
| been a loss in decorum and diction, but
who would want to hear one of Trains
letters read In a court room? What

those stilted days of Taylor Train? Was

As the sand is passed up from the bar, it will be carried along in another chute until it fall back into the river at the side and is washed on down in manner which will not close the channel. This boat is to be paid for out of the appropriation which was made for the Arkansas river by the last Congress. It was recommended by the engineers who came to Little Rock and made an inspection of the river, saying it was the ony salvation. for the river man of Arkansas. When the boat has op' ened the channel between Little Rock and Ozark, it will probably be used on up to the mouth of the Grand riv- CT so as to open navigation all the way. The plans for the boat were drawn in the Arkansas offices of in land water service and were sent re- gently to the Secretary of War for his approval, but as the gag rule is in force there, nothing was said about the progress toward deep water for Arkansas until an engineer who saw the plans in Washington, returned to Little Rock yesterday and told of them
