An Easy Way to Stretch Shoes.

To ease tight boot or shoe take a pair of shears-the longer the better wrap the blades with cloth and insert the handles into the toe of the shoe; then spread apart the blades. That will, of course, spread the handles at the same time. If the shoe presses un- duly in one particular spot place the round handle of the shears at the point of pressure: if it is desired to loosen the shoe equally from toe to instep turn the ov' handle toward the side to be stretched. The stretching is made easier if the shoe is first moistened with alcohol. It does not injure the leather.-Youth's Companion.
 Japanese Mirrors.
 It is only during a comparatively short time that the Japanese have known glass as occidentals know it. When the first railroads were built pas- sengers in the coaches often put their heads through the glass. supposing the frames of the windows to be empty, and the railroad company at length pasted pictures on the glass to call at. tention to the fact that solid sub stance was behind them. The masses of the Japanese today do not know the mirror as 1t is known in the west. The richer people have one mirror. in. deed. but usually the glass used in the mirror. sold to the popuIace is not duicksiIvered. being merely well pol ished As for cut glass, 1t is practical ly unknown in the island. and glass drinking cups are rare.

There is no evidence to connect
Penrose with the actual killing. He
says he was out of the fiat before
the shooting occurred. An opera

roborated this.
But Penrose contradicts Mrs.

He also tries to show that she pur-
sued him. But through it all he de-
clares there was absolutely nothing
questionable in their relations.

Penrose. Her husband didn't want
her to buy them. Her sisters were
not kind to her, because she was her

And then, with a sudden shift in
feelings, he went on:
IF she says 1 am anything but a
friend and family peacemaker she
isn't telling the truth. 1 even sent
word to her that 1 had other girls,
and still she pursued me. Physical

out. reverse his opinion and appoint
a new attorney and Receiver. Nat
urallv the Judge refused to listen or
to grant the order prayed for. The
matter was taken to the Supreme
Court. and before action has been

The report further suggests that
