THOUGHTS ABOUT MARCH

There will be days in March when
we shall be permitted to deal gently
with the coal bin, but it is best to
remember that we are not yet out
of the woods, so as to speak, espec-
tally in the first half of the month.
Our fancies are likely to turn lightly
in the direction of garden truck and
spring chickens, but before the middle
Of the month we should take our
fancies gently by the neck and lead
them in another direction.
1t Is true that robins are hopping
across the lawns these mornings and
the blithsome meadowlarks are here,
but in a sense they are the early
birds looking for the proverbial
worm. The frolicsome colt and the
wobbly-legged calf may be seen in
this month. They are signs that
spring is coming, but the wise house
holder does not plant his garden un
til the 18th.
March is reckless month, some
times acting as a though it had not
been treated fairly Perhaps it has
not At one time the ancient Romans
counted it as the beginning of their
year. 1t was named for Mars, the
god of war, and for the most part
may be trying to live up to its name
sake. For many years it ranked all
the other months, but the insurgents
in the Roman senate finally placed it
third on the calendar.
Even now it is comforting to think
Of Caesar standing pat for the old
calendar on the ground that while
war to some extent resembles condi-
tions in the lower regions, as has
been previously remarked, the i'm
surgents Of that day were even more
so. While they were engaged in the
work of revising the calendar the
Romans made as much noise about
it as we make now over the revision
OF the tariff. When the party of
Roman senator stood pledged to the
revision Of the calendar in certain
way, that senator was willing to lay
down his life for that kind of revi-
sion.
The Romans must have known that
it is mans nature to want to raise
something, SO they wisely let the pol
iticians tinker with the calendar,
knowing they would have no time to
monkey with the tariff and other
things that might do harm to the
nation. 1t is apparent that we are
not as wise in some things as the
Romans were in their day. Nobody
has suggested that congress revise
the calendar and let the tariff alone.
However, the warm days of March
will bring hope to the heart of the
ultimate consumer as he views the
prospective garden patch with the
pile OF empty tin cans in one corner,
and they should bring correspond
ing amount of gloom to the mandate
who furnished the tin cans and their
contents.

Buying shoes is about the most
painful ordeal civilization has to offer
in the way Of dress. 1t is something
that clings to us after the horror of
having to wear stockings has passed
long ago. 1t is the one thing that
haunts us even after the highest
stage of niftiness in other clothes is
reached There always is a place
on the foot that every new shoe is
destined to rub against, stick, pune
ture, and thus please the shoe sales
man. Now this one shoe salesman
in particular, to the personal knowl
edge of j. @. Smith, went over his
entire stock legisurely and purposely
picked out the most painful pair of
shoes he had.
Another thing Smith noticed. Tie
salesman always left the tight shoe
securely tied on the foot of his vic
tim whenever he went slowly up the
ladder in search of a tighter one. For
the eighth time he returned.
How does your foot feel now?"
he asked pleasantly.
1.-The feelings all gone, now." he
replied. "Every-wait a minute; I'll
take that shoe off, myself. l know
how to twist it so the whole foot
won't come off. What size is that?'
That's 8. Beautiful shape; one
of the finest we have in stock. l sold
a pair to hodcarrier the other day.
That very shoe"
What did he bring it back for?'
why, he didn't bring it back"
"You said he did. Just then you
said"
81 said"
How would you sell it to me-take
it off-quick. Never mind, | will
That's tighter than all the rest. The
next time | come in, begin at the
largest and dwindle on down. I'll
tell you when to stop. Try a size
larger"
There isn't anything the matter
with that shoe. Just look at the
heel; observe, if you will, the thick
sole; just the thing for bad weather
and lime"

well, whatever you want to dc
with it. It's shoe that's adapted
to everything you can think of in g

In that time you couldn't get any
where near the end of the things
you could do with that shoe. II
