A Correct Proverb.

"A person like that is bound to have
an upright even character, and to be
energetic and persevering. OF course
all those things mean that he will get
rich II he tries to, so the proverb is
perfectly correct.
The undecided person doesn't accu-
mulate money so fast, and there is
nothing that shows so plainly In old
shoes as indecision. These shoes are
partly worn out on either side of the
heel because the person stands first on
one foot and then on the other. bal
ancing the weight unevenly, sometimes
on the inner side Of the sole and some
times on the outside of the sole Shoes
like that are very hard to patch. and
the undecided person is almost always
extravaganza
You can always tell a slovenly per-
son by his shoes, for they will be down
at the heel, badly polished, with laces
or buttons in disorder.
"Of course, the girl who is very vain
still pinches her feet and wears shoes
that are toe small for her, and any
shoemaker who gets a worn pair Of
shoes of this kind in his hands could
tell right away that he had to deal with
young person who hadn't yet got
brains enough to know that she must
be comfortably shod if she wants to be
happy
Comparatively few women wear
shoes too small for them nowadays The

An Example.

There is a timid. shrinking little
thing with her back bent trying to
hide her head behind her shoulders;
she may have a good voice and talent
but her walk is so difident that no one
will ever believe her capable of assert
ing herself until she gets over that
walk
THE girl who brags about what a
great actress she is going to be. swag-
gers across the stage like man until
she sees the managers eyes upon her,
and then she becomes so hopelessly
awkward that she stumbles over the
chair, or even over her own feet, II
nothing else in the way
The girl who doesn't care whether or
not she is going to succeed, and isn't
going to try very hard, has a stumbling
sort of walk, and the lazy girl gener-
ally drags her feet
When YOU see girl walk across the
stage with a light. springy walk. you
can be sure there is plenty of energy
and good will behind it. and always
would rather engage a girl like that
than a perfect beauty who goes ga
lumphing along, and shakes the whole
stage and the very timbers of the
building
The shoeman tells me that he can
Judge character by the way the girls
wear out their shoes Well. can
judge character pretty well by the way
the girls stand and walk. and, after all
the wearing of the shoe is just the re-
suit of this bad and ungraceful, or alert
and graceful. carriage"
As ! was curious to know what the
stage shoemaker thought about char
acter as shown in shoes, l took the OPP
portunity TO ask him once and this is
what he had to say about it,
You know there is an old proverb
that it means money if YOU wear hole
right in the middle of your sole under
the ball of the foot" said the maker of
millions of shoes, THAT may sound

HOW FIRST FELT
HAT WAS MADE
John B. StetSon, to Entertain
and Convince Friends, Made
Novel Experiment.

Ebert Hubbard, in his Little Jour-
ney to the Home. of John 3. Stetson, -
relates the following story which tells
how Mr.. Stetson illustrated many years
ago the methods of telling the fur,
which is the first process in the manu-
facture of either a stiff or soft felt hat
1t is the basis of hat making.
The thing that Stetson explained to
his friends was something they had
never heard of. and at once it caused a
big argument. Things people have
never heard of they usually denounce
as impossible. And while they are
saying that this thing can never be
done, some fellow just goes ahead and
does it!
The question turned on getting cloth
for shelter tents. One man made the
fat. dogmatic statement that cloth was
made by weaving, and that it could not
be made in any other way Stetson
explained that there was another
scheme for making cloth Stetson ex-
pounded to them the science of telling.
Stetson took. some of the skins that
his friends collected, sharpened up his
Ratchet on a convenient stone and
shaved the fur off the skins.
Taking Fur From Skin.
He then cut bit of a hickory sap
ling. sliced off a thong from one of the
skins and made a hunters bow With
this bow he agitated the fur so as to
keep it in a regular little cloud in the
air.
Stetson kept the fur in the air, and
then it fell gently by its own weight,
and was very naturally distributed over
with a mouthful of water after the
manner of John Chinaman, blew a fine
pray of moisture through the fur. Soon
1ere was a mat OF fur that could be
lifted up and rolled. 1t was like thin
sheet of wet paper.
There was a camp fire near. and a
pot of boiling water. and into this boil
ing water Stetson dipped his sheet of
matted fur.
1t began to shrink
BY manipulating it ~rth his hand and
rapidly dipping 1t in the hot water, he
soon had a little blanket, woven soft
and even of perfect cloth. The argu-
ment that the thing could not be done
faded away into nothingness. Nobody
said, Il told you so,"
Then He Made a Hat.
There was the actual thing-cloth
made by the felting process-one of the
Oldest devices of the human mind.
To amuse his friends Stetson made a
hat out of the felt. It was big and pic
turesQue. 1t protected the wearer from
the wind and rain, as we'll as from the
scorching sun. Besides all this, it at
tracted considerable attention. It made
the wearer the object of envy. ridicule
or admiration. as the case may be.
This was the first genuine Stetson
hat made and sold
That it would eventually lead up to a
great industry, no one guessed: but it
was the germ of an enterprise that was
to be world wide in its influence.

GOOD ROAD BUILDING RULES
Deputy Commissioner Of Michigan
Gives Several Excellent Hints for
Constructing Highways.

nv FRANK F. ROGERS. Deputy High
way Commissioner Of Michigan)
Never drag a dry road. IS
: When dragging let the team strad-
die the wheel track.
It is absolutely necessary 60 use
tile drains where roads cross springy
soils.
A rise of six feet in each hundred
feet of length Is the required grade
for state reward roads.
Loose sandy roads should be
nearly level, with very shallow gut
tiers to remove the water when the
ground is frozen.
The cost for regarding old roads to
fit them for the state reward restric-
tons has been between 5000 and $4O0
per mile.
Where tile drains are not needed,
the bottom of the open drains should
usually be at least two feet below
the crown Of the road.
No roads can be made good until
the hills have been graded down to
reasonable inclines and the road
beds suitably shaped for travel.
Frequent scraping of sand roads
with the road-scraper, or other scrap
ing tools is not only a loss of time
and money, but a positive injury
Turnpiking up the sand simply helps
the wheels to cut into it that much
deeper.
Directions for making the plank
road float may be obtained by writ
ing to the state highway department
at Lansing, Mich. This float is recog-
nized to be the most useful road tool
in existence. It can be built for
about So.
The time to use the float drag Is,
(1) In the spring when the frost has
left the ground and the road begins to
dry, but while yet muddy. (2) I'm
mediately after very prolonged rain
any time throughout the season. CD
In the fall just before the ground
freezes ca In winter if frost should
happen to leave the ground.
Gravel roads are popular in Mich
igan:
% Because they are durable and
satisfactory.
(2) Because they are easily built
and easily repaired, requiring no ex-
pensive machinery.
90 Because the first cost Is low.
(4) Because they draw a relatively
large state reward, frequently one
third or more of their cost.
(5) Because they are labor propo-
sition from start to finish and keep all
the money spent in their construction
at home.
If you have gravel, build a gravel
road.

MiIlett Road Drag.

planks to gather the dirt under the
drag. He takes two pieces Of bridge
plank each s feet long and three
pieces of 2xS feet long to make the
drag. The bridge-plank are stood on
edge 8 feet 6 inches apart and the
three pieces of 2x8 feet long are
spiked on the top with very heavy
spikes. This allows the cross pieces
to extend inches back of the back
plank of the scraper. Iron braces
are then extended from the bottom of
these upper planks to near the bottom
of the scraper planks. These braces
should be good and heavy and may be
made cut of an old wagon tire Or any
old material of that kind. A piece of
wagon tire or something of that char
acter is then bolted onto the bottom
of the scraper to do the cutting. A
chain with large links is attached as
shown in the cut to which the horses
are hitched with clevis and ring. BY
the use of the chain the angle at
which the grader will run can be cas-
lily changed by moving the clevis one
way OR the other and attaching it
through link Of the chain. We think
probably this is an improvement on
the present types Of drags as it leaves
everything clear underneath, but
would suggest that possibly the cross
pieces should extend more than 6
Inches back of the rear drag.
