cure for spring fever. But that's as
far as Doc. will 60.

Several men of Importance will

Their places will be very quickly
filled by some of the up-river laddie-

Mr.. Scherer, formerly employed
as guard at the old prison, is now

Unfortunately, hides and skins and
the goods made therefrom are per-
petnally in an atmosphere of Stats
tical doubt. No one knows nor even
can know the aggregate annual
slaughter of cattle, large and small,
in the U. S. and Canada. The vol.
ume of hides and skins in first and
second hands is never known and the
quantity of leather in process, fin
ished and sold ahead is always
problem of MYSTERY. And SO on
down the line Of shoes, harness and
leather merchandise in general.
The tendency to postpone buying
shoes for next fall season, samples
for which are now in salesman's
hands, has not abated to any extent.
1t would appear to be a waiting
game for the retail buyers, and cur
rent orders are mostly for spring and
summer seasonable stock, for at once
delivery. This tendency is reflected
in the local shoe factory end of the
business. The running on stock or
ders continues in fair volume but as
the season advances there is not APP
parent the usual increase in the out
put. Retail buyers are keeping
their stocks trimmed close apparent
ly and not seeking much beyond
immediate wants.
Some people may have wondered
why it is that the retailer is trying
to do all he possibly can to get the
lace shoe back in trade and let the
button shoe go. The reason is sim
pie: On one hand, to sell lace shoes,
the retailer has only to carry on
hand few laces and very seldom
does he give them away. He gener-
ally sells them. Besides clerk can
fit on lace shoe and sell it in one
half the time it takes to fit button
shoe and change the buttons, for it is
very seldom that pair is sold which
does not have to have the buttons
cut off and reset. Some, big retail
shoe stores now keep two, to six
machines ia s enin g on buttons.
That means two, to six more persons
to help sell the same amount of shoes
that was sod in lace shoes, and also
the expense to the retailer, who has
to buy certain kind of wire to work
in the machine, 10 tasten on the but
tons, and he must buy fifty rolls of
this wire for each of the machines he
operates in his store, at 70 cents a
| roll. which is quite on investments.
He must also keep in stock buttons
to match those on the shoes, to re-
place those which are often broken
or lost. There are black, tan, and
white buttons for woman's shoes and
several sizes of each as we'll as
grades, all of which he must keep in
stock to match up his shoes. So the
retailer is doing all he can to get
the lace shoe back in trade and let
the button shoe 60 out.

Lisbon, Jan. 3l.-A committee of
prominent British residents of Portugal
formed for the purpose of Investigating
the condition of thousands of political
prisoners awaiting trial at Lisbon and
in various parts of the provinces, after
examining two prisons, containing one
thousand prisoners, has issued a pro
visional report, in which it makes a
strong appeal to the British govern
ment for its good offices. The commit
tee asks the government to exert pres
sure on the Portuguese government to
grant fair treatment and speedy trial
to the prisoners. so that numberless in
nocent persons arrested on mere sus-
picion may be liberated instead of be-
ing kept waiting for months in under
ground and unsanitary dungeons under
conditions that are unspeakably filthy
and degrading. According to the re-
pert il would appear that some have
