He went down with a pipe in his
mouth and came up with the stem still
between his lips. When dinner was an

table some one of them rebelled
against drinking coffee without cream.
So Mrs Hunt got handful of salt,
Erma Veal tin cup and Mrs. Edwards
a quart can and started out to find
a COW, which was soon discovered,
but the COW just would not be consol-
ed with salt, and Miss Veal said there
was blood in the eyes of the COW, so
Mrs Edwards braved the wild looks
and finally succeeded in coaXing half
pint of milk from her. That milk has
never been paid for up to this date.

The Argus Daily Story
Prophetic Strokes-By F. A. Michel.
Copyrighted. 1911. by Associated Literary Bureau

In the Harz mountains stands the
castle of Wertheim, though it is now
ruin. In the castle tower was a clock,
which was said to be one of the first
ever made. During the period when
the castle was last inhabited this clock
had long ceased TO strike the hour. Its
clumsy frame was still perched away
up in the tower, so rusty that even
strong man could not wind il even if
the weights were removed. The old
baron remembered having heard it
strike when a child, but he was sixty
years old and the only one in the castle
or in the neighborhood who remember
ed the sound OF its bell. But it was
even then like the death rattle in the
throat of giant.
Since that day the staircase in the
tower ascending its four sides in fire.
quent right angles some seventy feet
had completely rotted away. leaving
the clock on the strong floor that had
been built for 1t.
Baron Ludwig Wertheim was the
owner of the castle at the period of
this story. He had but one son. below

Those Seismic Disturbances.

Of the cause Of the earth trem-
blings in this vicinity and more or
less throughout the land last week,
nothing has so far been vouchsafed
from scientific sources. OF the three
distinct tremors, none of them was
attended by serious consequences
and on this account probably no in
vestigation will be undertaken. Two
years ago the country hereabOuts
had its severest shaking up and in
the last five years there have been
felt several tremors.
Still the northern section of the
United States is not the zone of
earthquake frequency. AS the
equator is neared earthquakes multi

Fifty Cents More for Shoes.

Massachusetts shoe manufacturers
threaten to advance the price of all
grades of shoes 80 cents a pair to meet
the increased cost Of leather. AS
247,O0O,O 900 pairs of boots and shoes
were manufactured in the United
States in 1909, at the higher price con-
sumers will have to pay approximately
1924 900, 900 more for footwear.
The prospect makes Of timely inter
est a few figures showing the remark
able growth and prosperity Of the shoe
industry. The New York World shows
that in the quarter of a century be-
tween 1880 and 1905 the value of the
product of American shoe factories
rose from s166,O5O,354 to $32o107,45S,
an increase Of S154 ,O57,1O4 Deducting
from this an increase of 1914, 921, 053 in
the cost Of materials and an increase
Of s2G,05S,242 in wages, much Of the
latter item representing wage pay
ments to $4,000 more operatives, there
remained a net increase in the value
of output of above $50 100000.
AS respects cost Of material, the
value Of the dressed leather produced
rose from s20O,264. 944 in 1850 to $685.
G2O,9s6 in 1905. That leather has be
come deareT is undeniable. But has it
increased in price 20 an extent in any
way justifying the proposed increase
in the price of shoes? While sole
[ leather cost 21.7 cents a pound in 1910,
/ it cost PA cents in 1905 and % cents
in 1907.
The shoe manufacturers, if they in
tend TO justify their action in putting
up prices owe the public detailed and
/ particular explanation as to why con.
sumers must pay 100000 more for
shoes next year.

The confession Of Rev. Clarence V.
Il. Richeson, the Boston pastor, to the
cCwardly murder OF his choir girl,
Miss Avis Liunell, may also be trace
able to the fact that justice has been
winning Of late over technical law in
the disposition of notable cases. The
promptness with which Henry Clay
Beattle was given the fun extent of
the law down in good Old Virginia
had its effect The McNamaras con-
fessed because they knew the state
"had the goods" on them. and Richie
son has admitted his crime because
he realized that his Jig was up. Public
agitation has had much to do with
the changed conditions in the admin
istratlon OF law and justice in many
states. Would that the awakening
might come 20 Illinois.

Why Not Eliminate Roosevelt?

Why should any republican calling
himself progressive hope for the nom
nation OF Theodore Roosevelt?
Did not Roosevelt sacrifice the pro-
gressives when he agreed TO the AL
lison drawn by AldriCh) compromise
on the rate law?
Did he not continuously turn deaf
ear to the demand for revision OF the
tariff downward
Did he not in all bis service as
president hold to the conviction that
guilt is not personal?
Is he not today committed to the
Gary-Perkins big business plan TO
legalize monopoly in private hands?

Talking Good Roads

are like the character in the Arkan-
sas Traveller, who could not repair
his roof while it was raining and VINO
had no need of the improvement at
any other time.
Despite this attitude on the part of
so many citizens of Illinois, the good
road movement is making progress.
Figures which undertake to estimate
the loss occasioned by want of first
class highway facilities in this state
are attracting attention. They fur
nish an argument for good roads
which cannot be ignored. They deal
with dollars and cents and just now
we are all interested in dollars and
cents. To the lectures of the editors
these figures add extra force, and
when they are in mind those photo
graphs of mud holes take on new sig
nificance.
