London, October 5.-The bat tie which opened September 26 is on such a large scale that no one can grasp it unless he will combine a return to the first principles with recollection of the immediate past. When he has done that he will have the framework. within which this enormous issue Is being decided. Then only can he de scend to detail.
 l propose to consider those first principles at the outset, to recapitulate in the largest lines the steps by which the great story of the war has been re versed-its machine worked backward-during the last few months, and then to look into the details.

MARY FRITH, FIRST
 WOMAN WHO SMOKED
(Regina Daily Post)


 The first European woman to form the habit of smoking tobacco was Mtry Firth. better known to her contempo- raries as Moll Cut-Purse, who was born in 1865. In her time pockets were not yet invented, and gentlemen carried their money in purses worn at the gir- ale 'idoll Cut-Purse" early became an adeEt in the art of cutting strings of purses without the knowledge If their owners. She wore mems clothing and, like the pickpockets of today, usually carried on her operations with d mob" One of her assistants attracted the at tention of the victim by jostling him, while Hary Firth cut the purse strings and handed the purse to another con- federate, who made away with it.
 q Later in life she became a highway woman and held ur travellers along the English rods. Despite her dishon- est methods of making a living, she was good hearted, divided her spells liberally with those in need, and was a devoted adherent of the Cavalier cause. In ancient prints she is usually pie tured smoking pipe, and she was un- doubtedly the first white female to publicly proclaim her allegiance to Lady Nicotine. On one occasion she caused the downfall of a notorious band of what would now be called white slavers'' and rescued a young girl from their clutches She lived to be nearl yeighty, and left a will re- questing that the remainder of her for tune be spent in merry making at her funeral

 of shoemaker has been made unprofit- able by the introduction of machines, and shoes became so cheap that even the cobbler had little to do.
 On one of the voyages of the May flower a shoemaker. named Thomas Beard landed in Boston and began to ply his trade. A little later another es- tablishment was started at Lynn, Mass. and for three centuries that state has led the country in manufacturing shoes. For two centuries the shoe maker was an itinerant workman who went from farm to farm. where he con- verted the home- tanned leather into boots and shoes. When the shoemaker had shop of his own he had a bench, one end of which was divided into compartments for pegs and things. If one should question ones grandfather on the subject, he will speak of the wonderful boots available in the older

 servation to discover that the cobbler lately has come back Ever since the shoe manufacturer began increas- ing his prices the people sought to equalize matters somewhat by wearing their shoes just a little longer. In or der to make this scheme work there had to be cobblers. Then the cobblers got to raising prices and one's plans for economy were shot full of holes. While shoemaking by hand is a disappearing art. cobbling never before-attaned such importance as an industry. The differ ence is that nowadays they cobble with machinery.
 Perhaps there is some retributive justice in the present prosperity of the cobbler, for the people have been mak- ing the going mighty hard for the cob bler's forerunner, the shoemaker, for three quarters of a century. The trade

LOTS OF WORK NOW
 FOR THE COBBLER

A few years ago the cobbler begged away with hammer and awl, read phil osophy, ancient and modern, and was the friend of every child in the neigh borhood. When one brought him a pair of decrepit shoes he was sympa- thetic and expressed a kindly doubt whether they could be half-soled and generally overhauled for less than 65 cents. Nowadays it is different. The cobbler is a plutocrat who owns buzz ing machines. When he gives the shoes of last winter the once over he coldly announces that near rubber soles will be s2 and the heels will be 75 cents. Naturally one reaches the depths of despair in his presence.
