To SAVE SHOES.

Shoes should be oiled or creased
hard or dry. They should be brushed
thoroughly and then all the dirt and
mud that remains washed off with
warm water, the excess water being
taken off with dry cloth. While the
shoes are still wet and warm, apply
the oil or grease with a swab of wool
or flannel 1t is best to have the oil
or grease about as warm as the hand
can bear and it should be rubbed we'll
into the leather, preferably with the
palm. If necessary, the oil can be ap-
piled to dry leather, but it penetrates
better when the latter is wet. After
treatment the shoes should be left to
dry in place that is warm-not hot.
Castor oil is satisfactory for shoes
that are to be polished; for palmer
footgear, neatsfoot, fish oil or oleine
may be substituted. If it is desired to
make the shoes and boots more water
proof, beef tallow may be added to
any of these substances at the rate of
half a pound of tallow to a pint of oil.
The edge of the sole and the welt
should be creased thoroughly. Too
much grease cannot be applied to
these parts.
A simple method of making the
soles more durable, pliable and water
resistant is to swab them occasionally
with linseed oil, setting them aside to
dry over night.
Many of the common shoe polishes
are harmful to leather. All those
which contain sulphuric, hydrochloric
or oxalic acids, turpentine. benzine OF
other volatile solvents have tendency
| to harden the leather and makes il
more liable to crack.
1t is poor economy, too, to wear g
shoe with the heel badly worn on one
SIDE This throws the shoe out Of
shape and may soon result in it's ruin
| 1t is also likely to cause temporary in
jury to the foot

NO ONE ELSE.

There wouldn't be anybody to do it
If she hadn't undertaken it, we heard
someone say. And we wondered if all
those in little corners of the worlds
activities who are doing something for
somebody else which but for them
would not be done were left everlaSt-
lngly to get their credit in another and
juster world. There are so many of
these people who here and there, as
they are needed, accept the RESPONSE
bility that means much work and lit
tie recognition. One never looks very
long n find some one to head the
ticket. When a fair new vessel is put
in commission, it is not difficult to
find captain to pace the bridge. But
somewhere down below him are stok-
ers, doing nothing very heroic, neither
in uniform nor comfortably cool, but
just making the boat go. Maybe eco
nomic processes determine this thing,
but not so the places of labor and lit
tie showing in fields of voluntary en-
deavor, in those enterprises undertake
en- because we are human beings
Whenever the wheels go around
smoothly, whenever good, solid work
is done, there is somebody, and often
there are many somebodies, hard al
work, beside the beaming and com
placent spokesman of the occasion
Sometimes to hunt up some of these
others without whom the work would
not be done-that might be a worth
while undertaking for any of us
There's not too much thanks loosed
in the world no danger we shall
overdo it.

The nine-o'clock bell in the evening
was an early observance by the Mas
sachusetts colony of the old English
curfew bell, says the Boston Tran
script. 1t was rung in Boston previous
to 1850 by the town bell ringer, who
later also had charge of the town
clock. A century ago three bells
were rung in Boston-at eight in the
morning, one in the afternoon and
nine in the evening. Two hundred
years ago the hours were five in the
morning, eleven in the morning and
nine at night. At that date the in
habitants were not so prompt in ris-
ing as in the previous century, when
the bell was ring at $50 by the first
bell ringer.
The midday bell was not first rung
to call people to their MONDAY meal
i'm Boston. In 1864, ''for the more con-
venient and expeditions dispatch of
Merchants, assayers or any other re-
lating to strangers and our in
habitants, lit is ordered that the bell
shall be runge att IL of We clocke
every working day to give motifs
thereof to all persons concerned and
that the ringer shall be allowed Up.
per yeare by every person that COM
monty resort thereunto and that they
may assemble in the Rome under the
Towne house, for the space of one
hover for the ends above expressed"
About 1880 the practice of ringing a
bell at one was begun, though for some
years later requests were made for an
eleven o'clock bell at some OF the
churches, and that practice continued
in the last half of the eighteenth CEN
tury During that century bells were
rung between eight and nine in the
morning on the day of a town meeting.
On days of rejoicing the bells were
rung from six to seven in the morning
till noon, and from two to six in the
afternoon. The allowances by the
town to sections for daily ringing were,
for one ringing a10, for two $40 and
for three $50 per annum.
The Civil War did more to abolish
the observance of Saturday night as
the beginning of Sunday, and finished

LONGEST RIVER IN EUROPE.

The Volga is the longest river in
Europe. 1t rises on the Valdai plateau
south of Petrograd. the capital of Rus
STA, and it flows in a southeasterly di
rection and then south across Russia
and empties into the northern part OF
the Caspian sea at Astrakhan. It's to-
tai length is 2,310 miles, and it drains
an area of $4,000 square miles. 1t
possesses only a slight and gradual
fall, and this is excellently adapted for
navigation. In spring floods the wa
ters at certain parts are from ten to 13
miles across. The river is ice free
from 1913 to 260 days each year.

PROTECTION TO WATCHES.

The tendency to overwind a watch,
or, on the other hand, not to wind it
often enough, has been provided
against by winding indicator with
which certain high-grade watches are
now being equipped. A dial, resem-
bling the secondhand dial, is situated
Immediately below the figure Il on
these timepieces, and is provided with
a small hand that slowly revolves to
the right or left, according as the
spring is being wound or unwound. it's
position indicating how near the watch
is to being run down. The device
serves as safeguard against too tight
winding.

A FAMOUS HYMN.

Mrs. Sarah Flower Adams wrote the
famous hymn, Nearer, My God, to
Thee" Mrs Adams was an English
woman, born in 1906. She was writer
of note in the periodicals of the time,
and she also composed a catechism
for children which was published in
1916. Just at what time and under
what circumstances the hymn was
written is not known. 1t was first
published in 1841, but the author did
not live to know the fame the author
ship brought her. She died at forty
four, and since that time the lines she
penned have sung themselves into the

OUT AMONG THE PlckANlNNlEs
(By James C. Nolan.)

(By James C. Nolan.)
You who have the bullying purses,
You who have of wealth to spare
DO you seek a Christmas blessing?
Listen, can tell you where;
Out among the Pickaninnies,
Where the Parkway skirts the Lake
Are you looking for investment?
IT'S the best that you can make!
All, in truth, I'd rather meet 'em
Where the light O. heaven flares
Than a million mile procession
OF ten million millionaires!
There's a dozen shining faces
AS the little home they crowd,
A month ago they looked upon
Their mother in her shroud.
Now the little mother" cares 'em,
While their daddy is at work,
o. they're gamy too! From daddy
down,
Not one of ems a shirk.
Refrain:
Shoes and stockings? Why we have
them,
And the pantry? PLENTY there
Twas a whopper, there was in it
Not enough to lunch hare.
The working daddy's long on pride,
No names, now. recollect;
No smirching that fair blossom
Of his noble self-respect
Refrain:
mot penny have | with me,
But we never fail to pay"
The nuns plea vain, the milk refused
BY that unbreathed-on clay
That wears a human semblance
Profteering there hard by,
Aye, indeed, in easy earshot
Of the wailing baby's cry.
Refrain:
You will have a lumpy larynX,
And your handkerchief you'll need
When you find the spot, I'm thinkin;
If you have heart twill bleed
Out among the Pickaninnies
Where the Parkway skirts the Lake
Are you looking for investment?
IT'S the finest you can make.
Refrain:

1t is believed that the National Rail

carried on over the entire United

will cause a great rivalry among the

period without a casualty. Everyone
will be on his mettle to prevent actual
suffering or grief as a result Of rail-
road accidents. and reaching the goal
will make this campaign well worth
