ui;lriy NJ .I,-., .Ie was expected home from sea-
 Another. lady. Miss R., gave the fol- lowing accouNt, which shows that the vardogr does not merely announce what might naturally be expected, but conveys impressions of facts quite un- known to the person hearing it:
 'Tt was in the year 1901- I was staying in Christiania with my uncle and aunt, who had no children of their own. Uncle and aunt went away for two days and intended to come home between II and 12 in the evening. The servant girl had gone home that night, so was alone in the house.
 q was just about to undress when heard them come. I heard the sound of the street door, heard them come upstairs and open the hall door and talk to each other. It seemed to me that uncle carried something heavy, and I heard them talk about being careful I wondered what they could have brought home with them. I ex- pected to hear them open the room door and go in. but suddenly all was quiet.
 About ten minutes after I heard exactly the same noises. This time they really came, and they brought little cousin with them. She was fast asleep, and they had to be careful not to wake her. Next morning I told them what heard, and uncle said:
 '' That is not so wonderful. You have only heard a vardogr.'"
 Innumerable other instances just as striking might be cited.-W. A. Cragie In Blackwood's

 "But I had been warned of that dendish trait and contradicted him with great assurance. After awhile he left off. So far good.

Before I was half through with it he did some material damage to the ship. AS soon as had grappled with that difficulty he caused another to present itself, and when that, too, was met he stuck another ship before me, creating a very danger ous situation. I felt slightly outraged by this ingenuity in piling trouble upon a man.

 OF PAUL DANIELS

The condition of eight-year-o Paul Daniels, who was struck early Saturday night by an automobile driv- en to a wealthy physician, Dr. G.. M. Hammond, of Greens Farms, at the corner of Fox street and Fairfield ave- nue, is said by the Bridgeport hospital authorities to be much improved. While he suffered a. fracture of both hips, concussion of the head and gen era1 cOntusions. it is not thought that his skull has been fractured as was originally feared.
 Young Daniels, who lives with his parents at Jet1and Place, Black Rock, attempted to run across the street. Fearing to be hit by a ma chine going in an opposite direction from the Hammond car, he stepped back directly in it's path. He was taken from under the machine b1eed- ing. While rendering such em ergency treatment as was at his disposal. Dr. Hammond summoned the emergency ambulance and pr. c. B. Pratt took charge Of the boys removal to the Bridgeport hospital. At the third precinct station. where Dr. Hamm ond reported the incident, it was found he had been in no way to blame and, ater statements were taken, was per mftted to continue his journey.

Good shoes shoes that can be fully depended upon for satisfactory looks and cost than before.
 The standard by which to be judged today is the $5 shoe
 Keep your eye the $5 shoe. The best shoe for $j is the shoe by which all shoes must be judged.
 For many years, the $35O the great standard shoe of America. In 1906 there change An ad- ill prices became And the $4 shoe be- the standard.
 And in 1912, prices that st-further advanc- ing make the $5 shoe the standard.
