WHEN BUYING NEW SHOES.


Always walk about in them a little
before finally deciding. A shoe that
feels absolutely comfortable when one
Is sitting down is sometimes just the
reverse when ones whole weight is
upon 1t.
The afternoon is the best time of day
to try them on, as ones feet swell
slightly after one has been walking
about for a While.

Observations From
The Sporting Dome

II is refreshing to hear of real
champion who is willing to admit that
anybody in the world has anything on
him. George BenhHg,@ the-"Dtstanee
King, says that young Lewis Scott Is
the greatest distance runner In Am
erica today. He has raced against
Scott and knows his ability He Is to
race with him again. Hence is all the
greater surprise that he is willing to
pay such high compliment to the
youngster.
Orvie Overall, in informing his
friends that he is through with or
ganized baseball, says that he has had
seven years of ID and that was seven
years too much" OF course. Orvie Is
peeved on baseball or he wouldn't say
that and it isn't going to deter some
few millions OF young Americans from
trying TO become Ty Cobbs.
He also says that Mordecai Brown
realizes that he must provide for the
future and so will quit baseball. With
salaries of a few thousands year
for the season IL looks as II the or
binary man might be helping to pro-
vide for the future during spare mo-
ments in the winter, even II he could
not live on the seasons salary. Eth,

SCHOONER EDITH IDLE.
Low Freight Rates Said to Be Reason
Boat Is Out of Service.

The big four-masted schooner Edith.
which brough< a cargo of phosphate rock
to Alexandria from Port Tampa. was
yesterday pulled from the dock of the
Fertilizer and Chemical Company and
anchored in the stream off Alexandra
for an indefinite stay. The Edith is owned
by A. H. Bull & Co. of New York, and
tho Arm has determined to place her
out OF commission until the demand for
sailing vessels as freight carriers in
creases. 1t is stated that freights paid
on Ice, coal and other cargo now moving
are so low that 1t will pay the Edith
better to remain idle than to attempt
to make expenses in service.
The crew of the vessel. with the excep-
ton Of Capt Bake and one man. has
been discharged and a new crew will be
shipped when the vessel goes into serv-
ice again. 1t is stated that a large
number of coasting schooners are now
being laid up at various ports In the
north to await better freight rates.
