SHOES YESTERDAY AND TODAY
Products of the Modern Last Hardly
Justify the Poets Somewhat
Contemptuous Phrase.

The poet Whittier selected the shoe
as the symbol of maturity, the passing
of youth. 1.-THE prison cells of pride"
was the phrase in which he described
shoes, in that homely poem, with Puri-
tanic tones, THE Barefoot Boy"
The announcement that the United
States government will purchase near
ly 800, 900 worth Of shoes in st. Louis
for the Indian tribes that constitute
the wards of Uncle Sam within u
W borders tells the story, in bald
and u~nvarnished terms, of the Indians
graduation from the class of infancy,
and his achieving of mans estate.
Gone is the moccasin, together with
the wigwam and the ~unsurveyed
wastes of prairie and forest. The shoe
has made it's appearance.
Getting back to Whittier's phrase,
"the prison cells Of PRIDE" we ma
hint that the shoes of the Quaker
poets day were not made IN St.
Louis. They were often made by the
individual, who was his WI shoe
maker, working with the leather he
had probably tanned himself.
Perhaps here and there an excellent
shoe resulted from that individual
method Of workmanship; but it needs
but a slight exercise of the magma
ton to convince us that as a rule a
shoe was terribly and wonderfully
made under the old processes. They
must have been ill-ftting, often-and
an ill-ftting shoe is far more than a
prison cell of pride" 1t is an instru'
ment of torture.-St. Louis Times.

pawn Their ncracked Ice"

Broadway, near Forty-second street,
New York, always in July is known as
Hooking valley" You see, most OF
the actors and actorines have been
out of work for a few weeks, and dur
ing the month of July it is a case of
all going out and nothing coming in,
with the result that they are "hock-
ing their. cracked ice."
Diamonds are the savings banks of
all Broadway talent, and they are the
next best thing to real money when
their owners are broke. Nearly every
theatrical person hits hardpan in July.
They may need only a few hundred
beans to tide them over until they
sign up and it's easy to slip off a ring

Nautical Speed Terms.

Knot" the conventional nautica
mile per hour. is assumed to be $3.50
feet. A statute mile is $3.50 feet. For
navigating purposes a mile of latitude
and a minute of latitude Ire consid-
cred to be OF equal value. Consequent
ly a nautical mile equals the length
Of a minute of the meridian, and.
strictly speaking, is different for every
latitude. The United States sea
mile is 6,0S2.66. For charting and
other purposes ten cables equal one
knot, although a cable length is gen
orally assumed to be 600 feet. The
term knot" originated from the fact
that knots were tied in the log line
which was used to ascertain the rate
of speed a ship was making through
the water.

THROUGH LABOR TO SUCCESS
Man Who Attains Pre-eminence IN ne
Calling Generally Reaches u
by Slow Stages.

Few persons are SO utterly unworld
iy as to be contemptuous of the ways
and mean of increasing their market
value. Charles Steinmetz, master
electrician, proffers his recipe. which
has already undergone the pragmatic
test of raising him from the direst
poverty to affiuence. ITO earn SlOO,-
600 a year do things other people
don't do" That is all there is to 1t.
1t is extremely simple. Be the one
man for the task, and the task VIII
seek you, and the price that goes with
it will be yours.
In every profession there are a few
men who lead by no happy accident
OF fortune, no pride of birth, no favor
Of exalted patronage. Their intrinsic
merit, manifested not as a sudden in
s~piration o as an occasional per-
Torrance, but day after day under the
strain Of p~rotracted effort, has put
them where they are. The inferior
material in the cheap man develops
a structural flaw somewhere, and he
goes to pieces where the strong mdh
endures and holds his peace and COM
pletes the work.
The pre-eminent in any calling are
looked upon with envy by the lesser
men. what does he do that / cannot
do?" they ask, that he should earn
so much more than II" They do not
see that their own work, should they
fail, could find at short notice an ac-
ceptable substitute. They are unwili-
ing to recognize the long, slow travail
of the route another took to reach
his higher plane. What he does looks
easy because the schooling was inf
nitely arduous. Most men who can
do things other people don't do" have
risen by labor. not by luck.

HOW TO CURE A
CHRONIC COUGH
Told in the Following Letter
by a Jackson Man Whf
Knows from Experience.
His Word Is Good.

Jackson, Miss.-"1 am a carpenter,
and the grippe left me not only with a
chronic cough, but | was rundown,
worn out and weak. took all kinds OF
cough syrups but they did me no good.
finally got so weak / was not able to
do a day S work, and coughed so much L
was alarmed about my condition. One
evening | read about Vinol and decided
to try it. Before j had taken a quarter
of a bottle l felt better, and after taking
two bottles my cough IS entirely cured,
all the bad symptoms have disappeared
and have gained newvim and energy.
john L. DENNIS, I'll Lynch Street,
Jackson, Miss. 49,.
The reason Vinol is so successful IN
such cases is because the active medic,
inal principles of cod liver oil contained
m Vinol rebuilds wasting tissues and
supplies strength andvigor to the nerves
and muscles while the tonic iron and
wine assist the red corpuscles OF the
blood to absorb oxygen and distribute
it through the system, thus restoring
health and strength to the weakened,
diseased organs of the body.
If Vinol fails to help you, we return
your money.

Cats.

Cats are urban nightingales. sing
off key. Their note is plaintive be-
cause they are genuine artists, their
luck s .rotten They turn %instinctively
to a minor key because the major, or
house, key has been turned on them.
They would be pastoral could they but
browse off the heather, but their
tastes are table d'hote and hereditary
sorrows have driven them to milk.
Having destined them for sorrow.
fate has been consistent and made
them flexible and limp so that they
will not be broken. Like hash and
actors, they have nine lives, and all
of them like the lives of hash and
actors. When they have gulpsd their
fill of woe nine times a wagon runs
over them and they vanish.
