Good Shoes by "good shoes" we mean the kind that give satisfactory service, hold their shape and fit comfortably, can be sold only at a fair price, depending on cost of manufacture. All new shoes look very much alike, regardless of the fact that it has cost the manufacturer of good shoes from $1.00 to $2.00 more to make a pair of shoes thao it has cost the manufacturer of cheaper shoes to make a pair that looks very much alike to the customer or the inexperienced buyer. Good leather costs more thao poor leather. Good workmanship costs more than poor workmanship. Good leathers and good workmanship make for good shoes and while they cost a trifle more, the difference is saved many times over in increased wear.

It would be entirely unnecessary, If not positively caddish, to say that we bato the poor. But there are two kinds of poor tbe individual poor and tbe collective poor. It Is not the Individual poor that we love; it Is the collective oor. It is not tbe poor that we know and see, but tbe poor that we do not know and have neither time nor Inclination to look at We are afraid If we see tbem we shall cease to love them. We never say, "God bless tbe Iceman, or the coal beaver, or the motorman." For them we find our execrations for not contributing to our comfort Just so and so and so. It Is with great fervor, however, that we can say. "God bless the poor," be cause the poor do" not Interfere with our comfort to tbe slightest degree. Life.

Tobias Smollett wrote Ills "Humphrey Clinker" In 1771. tbe Inst year of his life, giving thcrelu a spirited account of the society nnd custom then pre vailing In Loudon town. He exposed the Iniquities practiced by the purvey ors of provision at that time. Oysters were "blouted" und "flouted" theu as now; veul was whitened by repeated bleedings of the live animal; greens were boiled with brass half pence to Improve the color; the wine in com mon use was n "pernicious sophistica tion, balderdashed with cider, corn spirit and the Juice of sloes." und oth er revelations not suited to repetition In this polite age indicated that al most every article of diet wns prof itably "treated" before It reached the ultimate consumer. That '"blenched" flour Is no new commodity was also shown, while Smollett's ndded com ment furnishes excellent food for re flection:. 'The bread I eat In London Is a deleterious paste, mixed up with chalk, alum and bone ashes. Insipid to the taste and destructive to the constitu tion. The good people are not Ig norant of this adulteration, but they prefer It to wholesome bread because It Is whiter than the meal of corn." Washington l'ost Chihuahua Degs. The true Chihuahua breed i the smallest race of dogs In the world. They are also the most highly strung, sensitive and valiant of their kind. Their sense of sound, sight and smell Is developed to a marvelous degree, and they have a bark which would rise Bupreme above the noises of a boiler shop. A strange step sets one of the little hair trigger anlmnls Into a frenzy of ear splitting rage, nnd yet they are so keenly Intelligent that they can dis tinguish between friend and foe al most at first sight, sound or whiff. Long before the duller senses of man can detect a foreign presence theso little marvels of nerve force will have "sized up" the Intruder, and If not satisfied that all Is well their staccato warning will wake the echoes.
