SHOE SIZES.
How the Standard Of Measurement
Wac Ests biiehed.


How the Standard of Measurement.
Was Ests biished.
1t Is most difficult for many persons
to remember the sizes OF their differ
ent articles of wearing apparel. Col
lars. shirts and gloves are easy enough,
because iE the case of these It Is a
matter Of actual inches. But the hat
and shoe numbers are what puzzle
most people. TO say nothing of the
mystery why a No. IL stocking goes
with No. 8 shoe
This last puzzle is, however. easily
explained. Stockings have always
been measured by the inch from heel
to toe, but the numbering Of shoes
was fixed long time ago by French
man.
The Frenchrian permanently fixed
the numbers Of shoes for all Europe
and America. He arbitrarily decided
that no human foot could possibly be
smaller than three and seven-eighth
inches. So. calling this point zero, he
allowed one-third OF IN inch to size
and accordingly built up his scale. 1t
follows therefrom that man cannot
find out the number OF his own shoe
unless he be an expert arithmetician.
Even then he is likely to go wrong.
because all the shoe experts allow for
the weight of the Individual and the
build OF his foot before they try TO
determine what size shoe he ought to
wear
AS far as womens shoes are con-
cerned the problem is still more dill.
cult, because many OF the manufac-
turers instead of keeping to the regu.
lar scale have marked down their
numbers one or two sizes In order to
capture easily hattered customers. For
this reason most dealers ask out Of
town customers TO send an old shoe
with their orders.
The system OF measuring hats Is
much simpler. Any man can tell what
size he wears simply by adding the
width and length OF the inner brim
and then dividing by two. Orders can
also be sent to the shopkeeper by
stating the circumference OF the head

A SUCCESS STORY.

1t is a long cry from g redskins te-
pee to membership in the United States
senate.
or the many success" stories now
current this one about Senator Charles
III. Curtis is surely worth the reteiling.
When the civil war broke out Curtis
was year-oh Indian papoose tied to
board and slanted up against the
center pole Of wigwam OF the Kaw
tribe.
His mother was a squaw of the
kaws and his father a white man.
The mother died when Curtis was
three years old. The boy lived with
his Grandfather Curtis at Topeka.
Used to the free, open spaces, the In
dian youth was like Gagged animal.
lie played truant at every chance. He
ran away from his books ana began
selling newspapers and shining shoes
for livelihood.
Young Curtis was accustomed to loaf
about certain racing stable, where he
came to be'a jockey. He was daring
rider and won many races.
One day Curtis was the mount of a
vicious horse that few the track and
threw his rider against a high board
renee. That came near ending the
boys life. 1t ended his racing career.
Afterward he became a hack driver
and at the same time got an appetite
for an education. rs
In this respect Curtis was Ike that
other brilliant senator. Thurston of
Nebraska, who got his education while
driving an Omaha hack.
