about this change in the anatomy of
the foot, but it is coming" he con-
tinued. "In fact, it Is already in pro-
gress.
"The toes of American women are
cramped out of their natural shape.

next low. Some seasons their toes
are pinched by shoes narrowing in

Land lotteries shuttle the cards
that are dealt to many a man, and
give him a new line of trumps to
start the game with.

to w. II. Brakeman of Norfolk, out of
work and almost famished for want
of food. He was painter The
stranger was given job of paint

enough to get something to eat. L..

with him and gave him a bed. That

so nearly starved. A doctor was called
and next day, after paying his bill, the
man had little cash left. SO he was

man you know" said stranger in
the city yesterday afternoon, after he
had stopped a runaway team in a SEN

wagon which the team was pulling.
The outfit belonged to Farmer Gall,

started to run away near Seventh

New York, Oct. 24.-In protest
against the proposed dissolution plan
of the American Tobacco company,
the attorney generals of Virginia and
North and South Carolina submitted
formal objections to the judges of the
United States circuit court They
charge that the plan is a bold attempt
to nullify the judgment of the United
States supreme court and declare the
present status is more tolerable than
the plan proposed.
THE plan turns loose no asset and
no agency" the attorney generals set
forth, "by which the American Tobac-
co company now maintains it's abso-
lutte domination over the tobacco
trade. Its avarice for power and its
utter unwillingness to loosen it's grip
on the tobacco business is strillingly
illustrated in it's refusal to give up

Los Angeles, Oct. 26.-Four tales
men, subject only to peremptory chal-
lenges, one whose challenge for cause
was under consideration and whose
examination was incomplete, were all
that were left out Of venire of 1875
men summoned in the Mcnamara
trial when court opened today. In
reality, only forty-five talesmen have
been examined since the trial began,
the remainder having been weeded out
in a preliminary examination conduct
ed by Judge Bordwell which went in
to extra reasons, only leaving to coun-
sci the work of finding out the state
of mind of each talesman after the
trial formally opened sixteen calen-
dar days ago. Attorneys for the case
figured out today that at this rate it
would take about forty-two weeks to
get a jury.

qualifications for jury service may
