Women's Queen Quality 50c
Lisle Hose
On Sale Here act 25c Pair.
A mighty good quality of gauze lisle to sell at a quarter a
pair, but not as good, by any means, as our standard 50c grade.
In fact this is a grade of hose manufactured expressly for the
so-called cut rate shoe trade to exploit as a 50c hose at 44c. It
is not a 50c hose according to our standard of values, but is a
mighty good illustration of methods employed by a certain class
of storekeepers.

Forgery In Excels!.

fabricate letters of Rabelais, Monies

The Llama With a Saddle.
In his native country the llama Is
trained as a beast of burden, and lu
this capacity Is very useful for, hard
and wiry by nature, he can carry as
much as a 100 pounds.' As a mount
too, be. Is quite easy to train. Indeed,
both the llama and the onclko take to
the saddle as to the manner born
when once tbey have assured tbera
selves that their teacher wishes them
well. Their most striking peculiarity
ns saddle animals, however, Is a strong
objection to having their beads In any
way pulled about by their riders. So
long as their mouths are left alone
they will amble along quite contented
ly at a fair rate of speed, but If tbey
are ridden by some one with a heavy
band they show a tendency to stop at
once, whipping round In a manner dis
tinctly disconcerting to those who do
not quite realize what Is going to hap

Turn About
In a certain southern city the col
ored servants, as a rule, go to tbelt
own homes at night. The cook In tbe
family of a clergyman not only does
this, but of late has arrived at the
rectory too late to cook breakfast.
Ilence her mistress lately told her that
for each breakfast missed there would
be a reduction In her weekly wages.
Dinah passively assented to this, but
next day the mistress beard the maid
next door sny to ber:
"'Penrs to me you get to work
mighty lute."
"1 gets to work when I gets ready,"
was the reply.
"How does you manage about de
brekfus?"
"Oh, I pays de missus to cook de
brekfus.' "Housekeeper.
"Do as Rome Does."
The saying "Do ss Home does"
originated with St Ambrose In tbe
fourth century. It arose from a di

The Milanese made It a feast, tbe Ito
ninns a fast. St. Ambrose, being ask
ed what should be done In such 'a
case, replied: "In matters of little con
sequence It Is better to be guided by
the general usage. When I am at
Milan I do not fnst on Saturday, but
when I am at Rome I do as tbey do la

Friction Matches.
Friction matches are a comparative
ly modern Invention. They were first
made by John Walker In England In
1S27, but were rather crude affairs.
He Improved them somewhat In 1S33
by using phosphorus. The first really
practical friction match was made In
tbe United States In 1830 by L. C. Al
len of Sprlugfleld, Mass. Before this
time n clumsy form of match was Im
ported from France, which had to be
dipped Into a bottle of sulphuric acid
before It could be lighted. This took a
great deal of time and trouble, and
Allen, seeing the necessity for friction
matches, set about to make them and
succeeded. He neglected to patent
them, however, and on finally apply
ing for letters patent found tbat a
man named Alonzo Phillips, who was
a peddler, had discovered through a
third person the secret of making tbe
mutches and had already obtained a
patent Thus Allen, though the real
Inventor, was forced to become a mere
manufacturer undor another man's pat

The Kidnaped Brides,
In tbe year 002. according to old cus
tom, all tbe brides for the year at
Venice assembled on St. Mary's eve at
tbe cathedral, taking with them tbelr
dowries in small chests. There they
awaited their bridegrooms, who fol
lowed them, and after mass tbey were
married and received tbe bishop's
blessing. In this year the sea rovers
of Trlest burst In upon tbe expectant
maidens, who were ull dressed In
white, with hair loosely flowing and
Interwoven with threads of gold, car
ried them off to their barks and hoisted
sail. Tbe doge of Venice summoned
bis men to arms, pursued the rovers,
overtook them In a creek still known
as the Port of tbe Damsels and brought
tbe brides back In triumph. In mem
ory of tbls event a solemn procession
of twelve young women took place
yearly, and tbe Marian games were ob
served with great splendor until tbe
year 1370, when they were discontin
ued in a time of disastrous war.
How They Fight Fire In Turkey.
Tbls Is tho met hod of fighting fire In
Turkey. In t lie center of Constanti

erected. When the man In the tower

the firemen are called to their posts.
If they have horses they proceed very
leisurely to bitch them to the engines
or carts and trot to the fire, but lu
most cases they have no horses, and
tbe men drag tbe engines through the
streets at a walk. They do not hurry
to attach the hose to tbe hydrant. Tbe

building that Is lu danger of destruc
