Brother Jonathan.

Brother Jonathan is a general name
applied to the people of the United
States. Its origin is said to be as fol-
lows: Soon after having taken COM
mand of the Continental army, Gem
eral Washington found that it was in
need of many things. At that time
the governor Of Connecticut was Jona-
than Trumbull, the elder, a friend of
Washington in whose judgment Wash
ington had great confidence. During
the consultation on the state Of the
army, Washington suggested that they
consult Brother Jonathan meaning
his friend, Trumbull. This advice was
followed and Trumbull devised the
means of procuring what was required.
The story IA told in the army, and
the reply to a demand for an article
was Invariably to ask Brother Jona-
than" The phrase became proverbial.
AS the perSonification of the citizen of
the United States Brother Jonathan"
corresponds to the British John Bull"

Tige fairly tore out of the house.
He shifted the air, he investigated the

somebody. Finally he raised his head
in the direction of the house two miles
away where Mrs. Blake was staying
with her daughter. He uttered a dis

of his son-in-law.
He and his wife, after forty years
of married life, had separated just the

one married daughter, Linda. He was
getting his meals and sleeping nights
at Kate's home. Daytimes he pottered
around the deserted home.
Looking back, he could scarcely ana

the first time in his life Joel had Wis
tied some relatives in the city for a
week. 1t was his first vacation and his
wife had encouraged him to enjoy it.
He had promised her a gold watch and

a secret which he did not care to i'm

"The present I promised you will

Do you remember your first love af-

You were seventeen when it occurred,
and the object of your affections was
exactly your own age, a classmate, in
fact.
And you loved with love that kept
you awake all night and caused you to
dream all day. 1t was an imperSonal,
above-the-earth kind of love. 1t set
you apart from your family. 1t en-
feebled you mentally and physically.
You did your tasks so inadequately
that your mother despaired and your
father concluded that he was the par
ent of q sniveling defective. You were
impervious to insult. You loved to
hear your name coupled with that of
your beloved, and yet-the beloved was
so much too good for you that you
never thought of letting your love pass
your lips Never did the loved one
dream of your love!
And when you were eighteen you
gazed in wonder at this former object
of your admiration. How could you

MAKING SHOES OF ALUMINIUM
Manufacturers Adopt Metal as Substi-
tute for Leather in Parts Most
Subject to Wear.

Owing to the increase in the cost of
leather, which has been on the upward
trend for many years, there has been
demand for some substitute that will
take its place to certain extent in
the manufacture of shoes, and in some
parts of the country there has been re-
ceived with favor a shoe partly made
of aluminium.
The use of leather is not dispensed
with entirely, but the sole and counter,
the parts most subject to wear, are
made of the metal. The hard usage of
shoes comes on the heel and sole, and
in the case of the aluminium, the wear
err walks on the heel and 4 rocker,
across the sole of the shoe, which parts
are renewable and may be readily re-
placed without sending the shoes to the
shoemaker.
The new shoes are no heavier than
those of leather, and are said to be
much more economical on account of
the increased service secured.-TOron-
