New York. Sept. 30-The Gotham lynx
eyed sleuths are on the trail Of what
derives great pleasures from inserting
want ads in the metropolitan journals
and then watching hundreds of jobless
men and women trudge TO the address

He has been at his strange vocation for
some weeks. The address may be Of a

be some lowly tenement on the East side.
Many Of the jobless folk are forced to
ride to the address and the spending Of

There Is a law in New York State

an example of this Want Ad Comedian.

Carolina say now" asked a friend.
What else will there be for him to

Finds Place Handling Good Goods and
Meeting Competitive Prices.
To the Negro looking for good shoes
at reasonable prices his footsteps
must necessarily turn to the one shoe
store in Kansas City for him. There
is a moral as well as an economic rea-
son why this should be. First, this
shoe store we are speaking of is run
by a colored citizen. (Some would
say this is no appeal. This adds a
peculiar value just as much so as the
well known Made in Germany"
american" or --latest importations
from Paris are supposed to signify
unusual merit or advantages bearing
their stamps. A successful Negro mer-
chant means double merit in any line.
This is strikingly true in the shoe bus
mess and the present success of our
only shoe store in town can only be
attributed to MISUNDERSTANDING the
goods and meeting the prices. This
is no small task when we consider that
colored people are the most touchy
regarding footwear. They are willing
to pay a good price for shoes and they
absolutely insist on quality. The Page
SHOE STORE located on 18th street
lear Paseo, has learned this fact about
what the people want and he has wise
ly increased his stock both in quantity
and quality and is prepared for bigger
and better service. The writer has
bought several pairs of shoes at this
place and found them all satisfactory.
He has sent the place any number of
customers with perfect confidence of
satisfaction for all. This week upon
visiting the place and interviewing the
genial and polite proprietor, he secur-
ed the following splendid bargains for
the Christmas and New Year season.

the people that make up what is es-

distinctive classes, perhaps more no.

general building workers, This much,

cupation in life, a close study of con
ditions will reveal that character and
manhood and not the vocational or
~occupational is surely determining the
good from the bad, and this will never
depend on any imaginary lines that
men might draw for themselves.
Truth will finally take away from
them what they seem to have, and
give it to them who really hath. In
looking over these so-called classes,
from a little experience one can see
that perhaps the middle class are
building more solidly than any other
on the basis of honesty and sturdi'
ness of character. They seem to avoid
the deceit and hypocrisy which SO
often characterizes the so-called upper
classes, and are freed fro mthe ignor
ance of the lower ones.
The upper ones pretend to furnish
the leadership OF the people and de,
pend largely, yea. altogether, on the
lower classes for support, while the
middle classes exemplify what real
cooperation the ace might possess
and seem to furnish more real man
hood and wommanhood than any.
Slowly but surely truth is swing
the facts around to a common under
standing of who is who in this OLD

Drives Cadillac Eight
419 Miles in One Day

Racing cars have covered 500 miles
on a paved track in something like six
hours, but it is doubtful If any stock
car ever covered, in one day, and over
ordinary roads, the distance recently
recorded by a Cadillac Eight in New
England. This car made a trip from
Providence. r. l.. to Franconia Notch,
n. H, and return, 419 miles, in one
day of driving.
The trip to the Notch from Provi-
dence was made in faster time than
the return. The distance is 200 miles,
and the car was at the Notch $50 min
utes after leaving Providence. At
times, the speedometer registered 81
miles per hour. Early in the run, fog
was encountered; and throughout the
trip mountain roads of fair quality
were traversed.
On the return. the same roads were
traversed for the main part, but sew
eral detours were made to pass
through towns not included in the
route taken on the trip north from
Providence, which accounts for the
greater distance Of the run back to
Providence. The car was driven the
entire distance by A. ]. Feltham, of
Providence, and carried six passen-
gers.
