continual eyesore the little time
they last DiehrS Shoe Co. sells
shoes that are reliable and they look
good always and last for months.

CIRCUIT RIDING IN KANSAS
Conquering a Crowd of Cowboys-A
 Frightened Bride

From the Hutchinson News.
 Thirty years ago the Rev. Billy Will liams. who is holding meetings at the Methodist church, was a Kansas circuit rider. riding on horseback over a circuit 30 miles long and preaching three times each Sunday.
 I was ordained into the ministry of Kansas" said the Rev. Mr. Williams. 'When l rode the circuit there were three sod house school houses and one church in which I held meetings. I once ran a bunch of cowboys out of one of my meet ings on that circuit I took the stove polk CT to do 1t. but they went.
 After church was over they came over 10 the parsonage with a lot of canned oysters and other things to eat and we had a regular little banquet. They took possession of the place and when they went away they passed the hat and took mp collection of S55 ana gave it to me for the church.

The BedOuin's Three Treasures

Y rom llc w lte WI OTlu.
 There are always three things upper most in the Bedouins mind, his gun, his horse and his wives. The most modern arms of precision have replaced the primitive spear which until few years ago was the usual weapon.
 The Bedouin is quick to realize the efficiency of modern weapons and soon becomes an expert marksman. So much has the spear fallen out of favor that the bearer of one would be rdiculed in his owr camp. Such pride has the Bedouin in his weapons that even in his leisure hours he sits fully armed. examining and cleaning each piece in turn, making him. self accustomed to carrying their weight
 No youth considers himself man until he has fully equipped himself. A sword is much esteemed. but generally only as an heirloom and as giving distinction to the bearer. There are to be found many excellent blades among the sheiks, some with history of hundreds of years having been handed down from father to son.

 Etiquette plays an important part oh a modern battleship, and the British navy enforces many little forms aud customs.
 In the wardroom. where the officers and midshipmen dine. the command does not sit at the head of the table That place Is reserved for the president of the mess. The commander invatt- ably sits at his right hand, while the former changes every month.
 Evening dress Is a steadfast rule, so much so that the man who has to take n watch after dinner and who has no time to change sits at table by him. self. The toast of The King" fin tho navy Is drunk sitting. Tradition has it that a certain king once proposed q toast and. Jumping up. hit his head against a beam above. Orders were given. the story goes, that all toasts were in future to be drunk sitting.
 The "middy" on a warship Is just like flag at a public school, with the officers as his prefects or monitors. Midshipmen have to make themselves generally useful to the latter.-London Answers.

Burninu Cold.

One who has been reared In either the temperate or tropic zones and who is unacquainted with the mysteries of the chemical laboratory can hardly imagine a degree of cold that would reduce the temperature of any known substance to that point where, If the hand were brought in contact with it. the result would be the same as If he had received n burn. But that such things are possible are well known to chemists and other experlmenters. One noted experimenter with liquid air gases. which require wonderful de- grees of cold for their success. says that heat burn Is luxury when conn., pared with burns he has received from cold substances X drop of liquid gas on his hand made a bluish blister, which changed Into an ulcer which did not heal for six months. while heat burn five times as large healed in twelve days.-St. Louis Globe-Demo- crat

Buttons and women's Clothes.

Why does woman button her gar ments on the left side?" The question is discussed in the London Tailor and Cutter by several correspondents, one of whom advances this theory: "For ladies to have the buttonholes in the right side of their garments has its origin In the times when 1t was neces- sary for lady when going out at night to have a gentleman escort, who sup ported her upon his left arm, leaving his right or sword arm at liberty. Thus the ladys left hand would be free to fasten or unfasten her cloak at her own pleasure and without in- convenience"
