The amount of old Irish lace, er-

looked upon them merely as some

Then all | do is steer them
And they take me all around.
-Gellet Burgess.
And feet are so much more than
that! Listen: / tried experiments
when the first CLEAN of my new
philosophy came to me. / found
that there are three points on
which the eye rests, the face, the
hands. the feet A woman may
have a beautiful face and beauti-
full hands, but if her shoes and
stockings are untidy and shabby
they XIII the whole effect. On the
other hand, a woman who Is beau
tifully shod, beautifully stockinged,
may be very ugly, may not be we'll
dressed, may have rough hands
but her feet Will more than carry
ler through.
One says OF the first: "Beauti-
tul face. beautiful dress. beautiful
aands-but did you see her feet"
Of the second they say, Yes, she's
not pretty, but did you see her
,eet!" There is a world of differ
snce between the two remarks.
Why is the emphasis always laid
lpon the feet?
Why is 1t that no matter how
veil you are dressed, how well
groomed, your measure of self ap-
praisal Is always adjusted to the
condition of your shoes? II is So
everything else is all right and
FOUR shoes are shabby you feel
shabby, and people think you
lhabby. But II you are threadbare
everywhere else and have on
pair OF nice, new, perfectly fitting
ornamental shoes you feel well
iressed and every one thinks you
we'll dressed. is il not so?
Why then has this important
part of us been so neglected
looked upon simply as something
useful which carry us around when
We steer them?
The ancient women and the wo-
men OF the East know better. Il

LOUIS BIRKNER HELD SANE.

Louis Birkner Of Lightner creek
kept his promise to Sheriff Fass-
binder and appeared at the county
court for trial early this morning.
He was examined by DR.. Hutchinson,
acting county physician, who submit
ted the following report to the court:
81 do not consider him insane and
/ think there is no evidence Of In
sanity I find that he is lacking In
intellectual development which makes
it hard for him to understand ques-
tions asked him, and also for him to
entirely grasp his relations to the
public as an individual citizen Of ths
state" Those who are most familiar
with the case think the doctor has the
situation sized up perfectly. For some
time Birkner and his neighbor, Dave
Lewis, have had heated disputes over
boundary lines of their adjoining
ranches, and the troubles the man
has been accused of causing result
ed from these disputes. This morning
after the examination was conducted
and the cases dismissed, arrangements
were made whereby three men and =
surveyor are to go over the ground
and establish the lines, thereby re-
moving the bone Of contention.
