Freak Shoes.

A shoe manufacturer in referring to the increase in job lot shoe merchants said: 'It is peculiar situation when a wholesaler of jobs exclusively is en- abled to purchase whole carloads of good staple shoes at tremendous dis count from actual cost to the shoe manufacturer. and that Is just exact ly what is being done.
 ''It is not to be understood that these job lot purchases are composed of rejected shoes or that they are of odd sizes or anything of the sort. They are regular factory lines of good sta pie shoes in full sizes and are sold at a great sacrifice because so many fads and innovations have crept in that good staple shoes remain in whole salers' hands. Surely there is some thing radically wrong and out of joint in the shoe business when such condi- tions exist. Shoe and Leather Re porter.

HISTORIC MOUND AT MEMPHIS

 in 1541,

Under the lead of the residents of the southwest portion of the city. ehere Is renewal of activity for the purchase of Jackson Mound Park and Q small amount of adjacent property. a an addition to the public park sys- tsm. People favoring the purchase lave drawn up petition which sets cut why they think that the property sAould be purchased by the city.
 These mounds have a historical value that is beyond calculation. Upon the summit of one of them, in May, 1641, De Soto was received by the Cnickasaw chief. This was twenty three years before the birth of Shake speare; it was sixty-six years before Jamestown was settled; it was sew cnty-nine years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock It is, there fore, the oldest landmark in the United States. Beneath the bluff here during the Civil war the gunboat Arkansas was built.
 Being such a historical landmark, it is highly important that the city should own and keep sacred forever this memorable spot. ."-Memphis Ccm- 1nercial Appeal.

Saw Lincoln Assassinated.

Major Henry Reed Rathborn, who died recently in the Asylum for the
 Criminal Insane at Hildesheim, Ger many, was the last survivor of the party occupying the box with Presi- dent and Mrs. Lincoln at Ford's thea ter on the night of the assassination. Rathborn had been in confinement for years for having killed his wife, who, as his betrothed, was also a member
 of the Lincoln party on the fatal night. Several months after the as- sassination a German illustrated pe- riodical containing pictures incident to the happening was received in this
 country, in which Major Rathborn
 was shown wearing a l6ng flowing gray beard and was described as a venerable member of an old Albany family. The picture, evidently drawn from description which was incor- rect, caused much amusement at the time, as Rathborn was then flashing officer of 2S and looked even younger.

CLARK A FAITHFUL FRIEND
by Little Story Told by Con- gressman Pepper.

"One of the most striking phases of Champ Clarks many-sided character is his humanity" remarked Repre- sentative L. s. Pepper of Iowa at the Willard. He never forgets friend, political or otherwise, and I know it. Some of the speakers friends told me story not long ago that illustrates this side of his nature.
 Tt seems that when a young law yer, Clark was ambitious, to be elect ed prosecuting attorney of his county. There was an old fellow-his name was Burwell-who ran a small groc- cry in Clark's town. He was a little testy, perhaps, for he did not like to be disturbed when telling story, not even to wait on customers The store, in fact, was conducted for the purpose of giving him an opportunity to hold forth in pleasant discourses with his friends. He was in comfortable cir cumstances and didn't have to work. f1uence in his community and was Clark's friend. He helped elect him prosecuting attorney. It was num- Der of years ago, of course.
 Not long ago, I was told, Clark heard that the old man was sick and trif1e short of funds. He learned of it through an old neighborhood friend You know Champ Clark is not particu- larly frugal and never accumulated a large bank account; but he sat down and wrote a check that turned his bal ance into an overdraft, gave it to Wallace Bassford. and told him to send this check to old man Bur well.'"

ARIZONA IS HIS FAvoRITE
In Forty-Seven Years George Carey of Columbia Did Not Leave
 the Territory.

Forty-seven years continuous resi- dence in Arizona, without once setting foot outside her borders, Is believed to be the record. It was established by George Carey of Columbia, Yacapai county. who has just returned from a two months trip to Los Angeles and other coast points after living in this territory since 1864.
 When Carey first came to Arizona he was a freighter. From mining camp to mining camp he drifted, until the want of lucrative business forced him into mining. That was more than 26 years ago, but 1t was not until last spring that prosperity came. He re- ceived the first payment on some min ing claims that he had developed with his own hands, and bought a round trip ticket to California. For two months this trail blazer gazed upon towering buildings and other modern wonders of which he had read, but which he had never seen. When he passed through Prescott on his way to Columbia he said that he had en- joyed every minute of it, but that he had stayed "just long enough"
 Carey is now developing some prom ising claims near those that he sold and probably it will be several years more before he leaves Arizona again.

Smokers, Faces Tell It.

; A cigar dealer in one of the stands at the Union depot in Kansas City can tell what kind of cigar man smokes just by looking at him. He becomes quite proficient in reading mems faces so far as their purchases of tobacco wares is concerned.
 T have been in the cigar business 26 years." he said. '1t has been my ex- perience that dark haired man, with dark complexion, wants a heavy smoke, Havana cigar. A light hair ed man with fair skin prefers a light smoke. The dark man enjoys pipe, while the blonde likes the cigar atte. The most trying demand the cigar man has to hazard is. Give me a good cigar.

Cat and Dog Chums.

When my dog was a puppy I got a little kitten to keep him company, says a writer in Fur News. They got to be good friends, but as they got older the cat seemed to think she could take care of herself.
 When the cat climbed a tree il seemed to puzzle the dog, and he would stand below the tree and look up at the cat and then at me, as if trying to understand how the cat could get up into the tree while he had to stay on the ground.
 When evening came the dog would hunt up the cat and carry her to the kennel where they slept at night. The Jog kept one of his forelegs over the cat and there she had to stay until morning. At last the cat was killed, but I have the dog yet.
