"A carload of geldings raised in
Western Iowa recently sold in tbs

to report. for $422 per head. These
were taken by a firm in Duluth.
Another load brought about 1886.
These were mostly horses out of high
grade percheron mares and by Amer
can bred Percheron stations.
Corn jumped from $40 to So 25 a
barrel Friday morning, says the Lex
ingtons Herald, on account of q scarcity
in the market caused by the bad cond =
tion of the country roads. The quality
of the grain is much better than i.
former years and the demand is un-
usually good. Although the crop was
large this year. a further rise is ex-
pected unless the cor dition of the
roads is improved in few days.
INSPIRED by the success of their
husbands in the Burley tobacco pool
the women of the Cynthiana vicinity
pooled their turkey crop ana carried 1t
through to success. Twelve thousand
turkeys were gathered in this pool be-
fore the Harrison ladies invited the
buyers to call; then the entire bunch
was sold to Louisville poultry man
for Is cents pound alive. The deal

So much accomplished, the child

SOLE SURVIVOR OF DISASTER OF SEA
 TELLS HIS STORY
Continued from Page 1.)

There were eight other vaudeville performers aboard the ship besides the three Americans. There were three Parisian actors, including Francis Du- for, two actors named Stakely from Antwerp, Mile. Goumusie. a singer, and two others all engaged to appear in Algiers.
 Bladez, the Marseilles survivor, is in a hospital in Ciudadela. He regain ed consciousness today and was able to give a feeble account of his terrible experience.
 ''All day Thursday the sea was run ming mountain high,'' he said. "When the boat struck the rocks the shock was terrific and we all knew instinc- tively that the boat was lost. Then followed immediately the explosion of the boilers and the boat sank like a rock.
 "Only such a miracle as saved my life could have saved others for there was no time to put off the lifeboats It seemed that there was just one ter rifle scream from the passengers when the water closed over the ship.
 "I don't know how I managed to reach land. I regained consciousness Friday norning and found myself ly- ing on the shore. The sun must have revived me. I wandered almost the entire day looking for som ehabitation end finally arrived here. where I told the French consul of the disaster. This was the first news of the tragedy. again lost consciousness and awoke to find myself in the hospital

"ANOTHER'S SHOES."
A Phrase That Had Its Origin In an
 Ancient Custom,

Ancient Custom.
 The expression stepping into an- others shoes,'' like many another com mon phrase, had its origin in an an- cfent custom.
 The old Morse law required that a person to be adopted must step into a previously prepared shoe. This shoe was made from the skin taken from the right hind leg of "three-winters old bull.''
 The skin was fayed from above the hook, and out of this the shoe was made. The person to be adopted step- ped into this shoe, taking into his arms one at time, it is presumed, the younger sons of the man making the adoption. If there were also sons who were of age they stepped into the shoe afterward, by this sign showing their consent to the adoption.
 A man in this way could adopt an illegitimate son, making him his law full heir, but in that case the father was obliged to step into the shoe first. If there were any full grown sons, they stepped into the shoe afterward /: if there were no full grown sons, then the next of kin did the stepping, and without his consent, by the way, this special adoption could not be made.
 Witnesses to the ceremony in the use of the shoe were required to es- fablish its legality.
 1t will be seen that this was con- sidered an important ceremony, and since so much 'shoe stepping" was done it is not strange that the express sion as now used passed into common apeech.--Chicago Record Herald.
