heroism to Be Recoonized.

In recognition of the splendid hero.
ism Of young miner named Frank
Smith, a monument is to be set up
at Otago, near Dunedin, N. T. Smith
and fellow miner named Bates were
at work the other day sinking a hole
in drifting quicksand. The hole had
to be constantly pumped out as it
quickly filled with sludge. Suddenly
to the mems horror Bates slipped and
fell at the mouth Of the suction pipe.
His toe entered the pipe, and his foot
was quickly sucked In, and then his
leg was broken. Smith sprang to his
comrades rescue, and wrenched open
the mouth Of the pipe so as to relieve
him. But the drainage water had been
slowly rising around, and before the
men could escape. oozing slime sur

and pumped 1t dry, they found the

PLAGUE STONES IN ENGLAND
During Periods Of Epidemics Monu-

town. In many instances tie Cross
Itself has disappeared, leaving only
its pedestal with the small cavity in
the Top for the shaft o! the cross. At
periods when terrible eridemics have
ragged in country towns these stones
have been used by the sufferers when
seeking to communicate with these
free from the disease. The practice
was as follows: The market people
placed near the stone their different
wares, and retired to distance,
Willie those from the afflicted towns
came out and put on the stone money
to the value of what they wished 70
take Sometimes this money was
dropped into the cavity, that the rain
water, generally lying there, might
clean it. On returning to their homes
the market folk came again and took
the payment left for them. Hence
there remains of older monuments
have acquired the name of plague
stones.

Grandma No Longer Sits and knlts IN
Solitude With Only Memory
for Company.

There is no old age in the present
day. No longer does grandma sit by
the fire sewing, with spectacles and
cap, while her grandchildren play at
her knee, and look upon her with low
ing reverence. Few old people sit still
by the fire nowadays, unless they be
very old indeed and unable to do any
thing else. Nowadays they are about
all day, and most Of the night, enjoy
ing life, seeking pleasure, discovering
how much there Is to be seen, cone,
and, above all, talked about, in a
world that no longer Graves retire
ment. Nobody is SO young as the old
nowadays: nobody loves life as they
do; and the reverse holds true of
heavily laden, responsible, bored and
sensible youth. Nowadays it is youth
that sits In the chair knitting, while 1t
is dear young grandmamma who
sports. 20 to speak, with tho kitten on

adjusted, is as complete as the hats,
which are designed solely for motor

those who ride only occasionally.

HEELLESS SHOE COMES AGAIN
Victorian Style Is Latest Fancy in
Paris-Smart Footwear Favored
by Americans.

1t was to be supposed that with the
addition of so many Victorian fash
ions the heelless slipper, with its
broad toe, laced around the ankles
with silk ribbon, would come back
into style.
These are now the latest fancy in
Paris. The shoe is exactly like the
one worn decades ago. The leather
is soft, and the only difference be-
tween 1t and its ancestor is q wide cut
steel buckle which is put at the end
of the vamp.
Among the smart shoes which
Americans are wearing at resorts
there are low cut ones of patent
leather which are curved in under the
instep and which have an. upper one
inch deep of gray suedes. They have
two eyelets In front, which are laced
with elastic to hold the shoe tightly
to the foot, SO that it will not slip

The landlord then drew a gallon Of

OF the automobile, the problem
of the hat for driving appears to have

At this period of his bitter musfng,
