The Kind You Have Always Bought.
When Pattens Were Worn.
Americans find it more difficult than
the English to understand what Dick-
ens means when he says in “David
Copperfield,” “Women went clicking
along the pavements in pattens.” Pat-
tens were an abbreviated form of stilts.
The word is also used by builders as
the name of the base of a column or
pillar, and so architecturally the pat-
ten is the support used by a woman to
keep her out of the water and mud.
From this architectural use has come
the secondary application of the word,
meaning an arrangement attached to
the shoe so that the walker is raised
three or four inches above the solid
earth, says Popular Science Monthly.
If the mud and water did not exceed
that depth the shoes were thus kept
fairly dry.
It appears that pattens were not
worn solely by the rich, but were lux-
uries indulged in by the very poor.
In speaking of a person who was not
especially speedy Ben Jonson uses the
comparison, “You make no more haste
than a beggar upon pattens.”
Wrecked by a Knife Blade.
A ship was once wrecked on the
Irish coast. The captain was a care-
ful one. Nor had the weather been of
so severe a kind as to explain the wide
distance which the vessel had swerved
from her proper course. The ship went
down, but so much interest attached
to the disaster that a diving bell was
sunk. Among other portions of the
vessel that were examined was the
compass that was swung on the deck,
and inside the compass box was de-
tected a bit of steel, which appeared
to be the small point of a pocketknife
blade. It was learned that the day be-
fore the wreck a sailor who had been
set cleaning the compass had used his
pocketknife in the process and had
unceremoniously broken off the point
and left it remaining in the box. That
bit of knife blade exerted its influence
on the compass and to a degree that
deflected the needle from its proper
bent and vitiated it as an index of the
ship’s direction. That bit of knife
blade wrecked the vessel.
Coming In Out of the Wet.
There is an amusing story by Athe-
naeus which suggests the possible ori-
gin of the phrase “He does not know
enough to come in out of the wet.” Ac-
cording to the entertaining grammarian
referred to, a town in Greece under
stress of evil circumstances borrowed
money from a rich man, who took as
security for the loan a mortgage on the
handsome portico which surrounded
the market place. He was not an un-
generous creditor, for when it rained
he caused the town criers to announce
that the citizens had permission to
take refuge under the colonnade.
Strangers visiting the town who fail-
ed to have the matter properly explain-
ed to them were so impressed by the
extraordinary circumstances that they
spread abroad the report that the peo-
ple were so stupid that they had to be
told when to come in out of the wet.
Early Insurance.
William Gibbons of London is said
to have been the first man to have his
life insured. On June 18, 1853, he
signed a contract with eight men by
the terms of which he was to have his
life insured for £283 for one year for 8
per cent of this amount. In 1859
a resident of a Connecticut city was
traveling in England and became in-
terested in the workings of accident
insurance for travelers. So he came
home and promoted the first accident
insurance company in this country.
His first client was a resident of Hart-
ford, whom he insured for $5,000
against injury in his stroll from the
postoffice to his home. Marine insur-
ance goes back to the early part of the
fourteenth century and comes from
" Belgium.

pains disappeared and I was relieved

Curious Death Custom In Fiji.
The Fijians believe that in case a
marriageable youth or maiden dies
without having gone through with the
elaborate nuptial knot tying ceremony
of the islands his or her soul is doom-
ed to wander about forever in an in-
termediate region between heaven and
hell.
When any one dies—man, woman or
child—a whale’s tooth is placed in the
hand of the corpse. the missile to be
thrown at the tree which stands as a
guidepost to point out the road that
leads to heaven and the one that leads
to hell.—London Mail.

Preparing For Patches.
When making kitchen aprons leave
the strings longer and wider than is
necessary, then when a patch is needed
cut off a piece of the apron string for
this purpose. This is better than using
a new piece. as the string has faded
with the apron.—Mothers’ Magazine.

Hood's Sarsaparilla.
Nervous, Run-Down,
Haggard-Looking
Women and men suffer from blood
and nerve conditions for which it is
impossible to conceive of a better
remedy than Hood’s Sarsaparilla and
Peptiron Pills taken in conjunction,
one before eating and the other after.
These two great medicines aid each
other, and it is economy to take both,
a four-fold benefit being derived.
Peptiron Pills are the ideal iron
preparation—no injury to teeth, no
constipation effect. All druggists.

Prices on Ladies’
Low Shoes Reduced
By reason of the lateness of spring and cold weath-
er, also the very high prices, the sale of Low Shoes
has been very backward. I have on hand a very :
large stock that must be sold and sold quick.
BEGINNING AT ONCE
I will reduce the price on all Ladies’ $6.00 and
$7.00 Low Shoes. The price will be $4.40.
Your choice of any pair of $6 and $7 Low Shoes for
4.40

pair of these shoes offered for sale, are more than
two months old, all New Spring Styles, also guar-
antee that these shoes are all $6.00 and $7.00
shoes, to be sold at $4.40.
If you have not purchased your needs in Low
Shoes, you cannot afford to even look at the shoes
sold at other stores, as the prices on these shoes are
less than you can purchase cheap shoddy shoes at
this price in other stores.
This Sale is Absolutely For Cash.
All shoes must be fitted at the store, none sent out
on approval. Sale going on now and will continue
