Sizing Up the Feet.

Contrary to popular opinion the
female descendants of the Puritans have
smaller feet than those of the Cava,
liers, says the Junior member of an ex
tensive New England shoe factory
eve manufacture ladies' shoes almost
exclusively. We sell most small ones
in the northeast, most large ones in the
southwest, in Arkansas, New Mexico
and Texas. The Carolinas, Alabama,
Mississippi, Kansas and Nebraska also
order good many large sizes. Ohio,
Virginia, Kentucky, Maryland, Indiana,
Illinois, Iowa and Missouri buy medium
sizes. The retail trade of large cities
requires more small sizes in proportion
than does that of the smaller cities and
villages. Still there is great differ
ence in cities. Boston is preeminently
the city of small-footed women. Next
in the order named come Hartford, st.
Louis, Louisville, New Orleans, New
York and Denver. Philadelphia, Gin
cinnati, Chicago, Pittsburgh. and Salt
Lake City may be classed as big-footed.

IS WOMAN TO HATE MANI

The Modern Woman Is so Independents
1t Looks That Way.
Are women learning to hate men?
"Of course there have always been and
will always be Individual man haters,
just as there have always been and viii
always be individual woman haters.
Some men, says Hearth and Home, are
born bachelors; some women are created
spinsters in the cradle, and they con-
tinuc spinstcrs to the grave.
'"The instinct of spinsterhood seems
implanted in them Men, and the ways
and habits of men, are uncongenial to
them. Strength greater than their own
repels them, manners different FROM
theirs, habits which they cannot share,
appall and disgust them. These women
do hate men, but they are very few and
far between.
"a more numerous class dislike men
because they have been educated into
such frame of mind by misfortunes or
sorrows brought upon them through
male agency They judge the male
from the individual, and look at all
through the black spectacles presented
to them by one.
''But we believe that this man-hating
craze is passing phase of the time, not
deeply reoted-if rooted at all-not well
nourished, not widely spread.
1T is a phase connected with the in
creased activity noticeable among
women, their increased and increasing
anxiety to prove to the world that they
have intellects, originality, talents and
powers, which they mean to use for
their own personal benefits and for the
benefit of others, l. e., men.
s'They do not hate men, but they
wish to do away with the last remnants
of the ridiculous idea that women, as a
sex, are in all ways weak, while men,
as sex, are always strong"

A Unique Newspaper.

A London insurance man recently
said to a Philadelphia Record man:
1--WE have in London one Of the most
unique newspapers in the world; for,
while it is published every day in the
year except Sundays, copy of it is
never sold or circulated. The Evening
Telegraph Of London is issued each
afternoon from the Office of the Daily
Telegraph, which paper is a morning
daily issued six times a week, and has
the largest circulation of any paper in
England, and, with one exception, the
largest in the world. The proprietors
of the Daily Telegraph, in printing the
evening edition, which is copyrighted,
do so merely in order to protect them
selves in the right to the use of the
name in case they ever care to issue an
evening edition, and also to prevent
anyone else from starting such sheet
and gaining the great advantage which
the use of the title, Evening Telegraph.

Lassolng an Eagle.

Antoine Nelson, a Colorado cowboy,
lassoed an eagle a few days ago. Nell
son was riding over the prairie on his
little COW pony with his lasso tied to
his saddle, when he saw the eagle fly
ing ahead of him quite close to the
ground. He started his pony on run
toward the bird, and when short dis
ance away threw his rope, which settled
over the eagles neck and under one
wing, and he succeeded in getting the
bird to the ranch house alive. The
eagle measured eight feet from tip to
tip of its wings.

ten ministers, Of which William
Winans, well known in this sec
ton of the state, and buried neal
the town of Ceaueville, was Sec,
retary. Beginning with Tobias
Gibson, who came to, the Natchez
Country from the South Carolina
conference in Iz0os and who or
ganized the first Methodist church,
consisting of eight members, in the
town of Washington, territorial
capitol; the church had grown to
the proportion justifying the or
ganization into this separate body.
The membership exceeded a few
more than twenty-five hundred.
AT this session Tommie Owen"
of precious memory to many of
your readers, was received and
began his interesting career as a
minister. The boundary OF the
conference at that time ran thus:
beginning at the Mississippi riv-
er and running cart on the 3Ist
parallel of latitude 70 the eastern
boundary of Georgia; thence north
to the southern boundary of the
state of Tennessee; thence west to
the Mississippi river; thence south
to place of beginning"-quite
enough territory for ten men to
cover, and WITH appointments
ranging from New Orleans to
Vicksburg and from Natchez to
the Tombigbee river. From this
original body have sprung two
conferences. in Alabama, one in
Louisiana, two ia Arkansas, FIVE
in Texas, and the North Mississip-

Definitions.
The initiative is a method by which
the people enact laws directly with
out the Intervention of the legislature.
Its practical working may be exem-
plihed as follows;
IL there be a demand for q law
which the legislature has failed to
pass, petition Is circulated among
the legally qualified voters, directed
to the secretary of state, demanding
that at the next election the people
shall vote on the question as to
whether the proposed law. annexed to
the petition. shall be enacted. When
petitions bearing the names OF the re-
CURED percentage Of the total voters
are filed with the secretary Of state.
then the question as to the adoption
of the proposed law is put ON the bal
lot, and at the ensuing election the
voters may vote yes" or NO. ac-
cording TO their preference.
The referendum is method by
which a Law. which has been passed
the legislature, may be suspended
from going into effect until the peo-
pie have had an opportunity OF vot-
ing on the question, and may be ex-
emplifisd thus:
When the legislature has passed a
bill obnoxius to. a part OF the citi-
xens. a petition is circulated among
the legally qualified voters requiring
official ballot at the next election the
question whether the people will APP
prove or veto said proposed law: and
when petitions are so fled bearing
the names of the requisite percentage
of total voters. the question In en-
rolled upon the ballot giving the vot-
ers the opportunity to register their
approval or disapproval OF the pro-
posed Law.
The initiative practically makes the
people Legislative body for the en-
actment OF laws: the referendum gives
to the people the veto power on the
work OF the Legislature.

ly willing to give time, money and labor.
These citizens, and the thousands whom they
represent, are not politicians. They are asking
for no ONCE, they want Office they ara free
from ofnce-holding mania Their activity In
public matters is due to a desire to remove the
open saloon from the pathway of rising gener-

to promote clean and wholesome living, In their
assemblages the ,officeholder Is Conspicuous by
his absensee Party lines are abolished. Their
platform Is for sobriety and decency, and basing
their claims upon 1t, they invite all the world
to join them
This in brief, is the Anti-saloon league. The
cornerstone Of it's structure is freedom from
political alliance, and to this fact it owes to q
material degree It's great strength ana wonder

LET OTHERS TALK ECONOMY.

The Vtrgtnsam does not believe in large army
and navy. II does not think congress should
appropriate millions for bettleships that will
never be needed does it believe in the ex-
penditure OF other millions for the upkeep of
large standing army and for coast defenses. II
does believe, however, that the argument against
these appropriations should be put on another
basis than economy. 1t does not want these
things because 1t does not believe these things
necessary and not because they cost money. The
United States should have an army and navy
of SUFFICIENT strength regardless of cost and at no
cost should it have stronger army and navy
than needed. Especially does 1t believe that the
pork DARRELL raiders should be the last ones to
speak of economy In this or any other connection
II there lis to be discussion of economy let It
be by those who believe In economy and have
shown 1t by voting against indefensible pen
sion bin and against too large public buildings
appropriations.

Without power to help special privilege and
therefore without power TO secure campaign
