the cry for shoes now. A leading shot
dealer said SAT- rday that the calls fol
cheap shoes had become so many, tha
he was compelled to put in cheap de
paTtment with shoes at the prices 81 81
and e.. 50. This class of footwear LOOK:
WELL hut does not wear, however, 1t !:
popular and the masses want it. lr
fact, the women now, instead of having
one pair of black shoes for nice and an
old pair for second wear, they must
have shoes for every dress, shoes OF
every color, high shoes, half shoes,
pumps, slippers and house slippers, be-
sides tennis shoes and dancing slippers.
The shoes for fall show heavy soles
Some are lace, some button with cloth
1tops. Then there are the satin shoes
in blue and green. The colored shoes
also come in suede effects, these are
cheaper than the satin which cost from
ten to twelve dollars. The colored
suede shoes can be bought from 81 50

Anyone who wears we'll made shoes
can testify they pay and wear twice as

the cheap shoes with paper soles, etc.
One young married lady said recently
her birthday present from her husband
was pair of shoes to match each dress.
A young lady who buys one pair of
shoes season pays the price of Sc and

she finds that it is the best way she can
invest her money. She does not know
what it is to suffer with hurting feet
and her shoes are always in shape with

well worth the price to wear'them.
Some girls wear low heels for health.

be the chief night attraction at the Ken
lucky State Fair this year. II is UNI
questionably the most gorgeous and
spectacular arrangement and assemblage
Of fireworks displays that the Great
Pain has yet shown, and "Old Mexico
will be seen in the United States for the
first time at the Kentucky State Fair.
Hundreds of men and women are emf
ployed to add to the spectacular effects
before the main part of the fireworks
begins. The scene is in Old Mexico
before the Mexican War II is feast
day and the populace, attired in gala
colors, play games and their national
sports, dancing girls, flower girls, bull
fighters and all the other peculiar charac-
tiers of Old Mexico are in the foreground,
when General Winfield Scott, leading
the American armies, advances. The
fireworks display descriptive of the
Battle, the heavy cannonading in the
distance, the thunder and lightning of
the elements, the panic of the citizens,
the bursting of shells and the lombard
ment of the Fort, winds up with one
grand charge in the face of awful fire
when the Americans scale the walls and
plant Old Glory on the ramparts Fol-
lowing this is demonstration and
gorgeous display of Twentieth Century
fireworks, including all the new and
wonderful creations of pyrotechnic art.
Among the notable Kentuckians whose
pictures will be burned in fire, most of
whom will be readily recognized by
visitors to Louisville, are: Gov. Jas. b.
Col. w. b. Haldeman, J. w.
Newman, Commissioner of Agriculture,
Mayor w. O. Head, Honorable Henry
r. w. Knott, Chas. b.
Nortor and X. w. Brown.

His Lost Love

Translated from the FRENCH
Upon the balcony my love and |,
In fond embrace,
Regarded each the other lovingly;
So fair, SO like a rose that one may see
In sunlight glisten white, thus radiantly
Was seen her face.
Her slender waist clasped. The pres
sure sweet was heaven foretold,
The fragrance of her breath arose to me,
My willing senses reeled in ecstacy,
Intoxicating was her touch to me,
And | was bold.
Her foolish, fond, impassioned lover, /;
But brief my dream
She fell, and hard against the cruel
ground
Her frail form lifeless sank without a
sound.
Eshemerical, alas! this form found
That esteem.

Method For Accusing Interest
In Public Schools County In
stitute September 20.

Interest is the major factor in schoo
work, ind interest. as all other things
must have an incubator.
There is one vital thing upor
which pecuniary, moral, scholastic and
social interest of place dope nds, viz:
the supply of the various demands OF
that locality; something which, when
we'll operated, develops an AESTHETIC
taste for a proficient education and
furnishes effective entertainment for
all.
There is a league bulletin in your
district which contains sufficient data
for citation of the above assertion
Have you vet organized a school
league? Ii not, do you expect to?
All schools will have been in session
long enough to have each organized,
and have a splendid working league in
her district.
If the county superintendent shall
grant our request and if perforce, we
shall have special period at the in
stitute for a symposium on leagues.
We are expecting a league report
from each teacher during the institute,
which convenes September %, l9I2.
