His business rivals and associates in
deed suggested, and the suggestion
was quickly seized upon by the ad-
ministration papers. that the whole
thing was clever advertising dodge,
and that Gormly was simply using his
candidacy to boom his business There
was no satisfactory answer to this
argument, which was one of the best
that could have been devised by the
opposition, and it was harped upon
immensely. although their leader was
vigorously justified from this charge
by his army of fighters.
The expenses OF the campaign were
enormous. Not one cent was paid out
for bribery or for the purpose of in
fiuencing votes in any improper way;
but the hiring of halls, the payment
of the expenses of meetings, organiza-
tion, transportation, printing, salaries.
and SO on aggregated an extraordinary
sum. Even Gormly himself had not
realized how great these expenses
would be-; but he paid them without
blenching. His resources were vast.
He put at the disposal of his candi-
dacy all the accumulations and earn

that by the time the vote was taken,
his ready money would be expended.

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

It 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 a 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 CIT ones of patent
leather which are curved in under the
lnstep 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

Astounding zeal, keen intelligence, and
high quality. Nor were the workers
that gathered round the new leader
entirely from the social set and circle
of the Haldanes. Gormly in one way
or another employed vast number
of working men. His relations with
them had always been not merely

and generous. They were organized
and started at work Immediately in
every direction. Before the enemy
realized 1t, ample time had been Sc
cured in every possible assembly
room and there were nightly meetings
all over the city.
In the Gormly store itself was

certs, lectures, and entertainments
had been given for the employees and
patrons of the store. This auditorium
had outside entrances and could be
completely cut off from the other

The Plague.

The terrible bubonic plague, which ap-
peared IN Hongkong in 1894, spread from
there to Bombay, and in the next twelve
years carried off more than six million
victims. has been almost quiescent for
the past few years but in 1910 it appear
ed in virulent form in Harbin, has since
spread 10 other cities, and is now world
wide menace.
More alarming than the temperance
OF the disease in Manchurla is the dis
covery OF the disease in the eastern coast
wise counties of England, where several
deaths have occurred. Investigation has
shown the rats over large area to
be infected.
Until 1906 little was known regarding
the mode OF propagation OF this terrible
disease, although the disease itself is as
old as history In 1906 the Indian Plague
Research Commission definitely traced
the spread OF the epidemic to the flesS
on the black rats OF the country. The
rats themselves have the disease; flea
which sucks the blood OF the rat takes
the germs into its stomach. II the flea
bites human being within period OF
three weeks, the germs are transferred,
and the human icing contracts the dis
ease.
UEtil recently il had been supposed that
only the black rat is susceptible to the
plague, and that only the flea known as
Pulez cheopis could transfer it. Later
discoveries, however, have shown that
the common brown, or Norway, rat is al
so liable to the disease, and that it may
be transferred by the ordinary rat flea.
Still another matter Of great interest
has been disclosed by the cases in Eng
land, which are not the bubonic, but the
even more deadly and more dangerous
pneumonia plague. The bubonic form,
in which the Emphatic glands swell and
suppurate, is transferable only through
some such medium as the rat and the flea.
The pneumonia form, on the other hand,
is directly infectious.

OIfactory Evidence.

A typical old-time "circuit-rider' died
recently in Alabama man whose godly.
unselfish life will long be remembered.
Many were the eccentricities OF this rug
ged old man, and many anecdotes are
current among the Methodist ministers OF
the State concerning him. He was noted
for two things-hiS denunciation OF sin IN
no uncertain tones, and the familiarity
with which he addressed the Lord in
prayer.
On one occasion he had been preaching
in log meeting-hous in the piny woods
of north Alabama. There were several
young fellows on hand who had been Gel
ebrating by patronizing still hard by.
After long, fiery sermon, the preacher
made a call for mourners. and soon the
rude altar was filled mostly by the afore-
mentioned young fellows. The old man
looked them over for a moment. and with
keen intuition felt that it was perhaps a
"lark" on the boys parts, but he knelt TO
pray.
20 Lord" he began, "here'S a crowd
of young fellows kneeling round Your al
tar. They've been cussin' and swearin'
and drinkin' and snendin' their time in
