Two new lines ot shoes added to our rtock. We have discovered a secret in buying footwear. You notice the man here is looking for points. We made it a point to look up the test shoe manufacturers in the country. Having found them, we have placed on our bhuves some of the best footwear made. So many new. shoes arc coming into our store we have found it necessary to mark some of our shoes formerly sold for $3.00, $3.50 and $4.00 down to exceedingly low prices.

So his father (who was a big boy himself) decided' to take the baby to an afternoon performance, and the two get off together. It was a gorgeous afternoon, and the two came home with exciting tales of the marvels they had beheld. Never had there been such a show or such animals. Language was quite Inadequate to the occasion it - had been a thing of pure, golden Joy. At alx o'clock the little fellow was having his supper, when he suddouly stopped, his mouth full of porridge and the spoon sticking out from it at defiant angle, and burst into a roar, deafening, heart broken, and inarticu late, the spoon dropping with a clat ter to the table. His father was puzzled and asked various questions an to possible stom ach ache, stray pins, etc., meeting with no answer whatever. Then he remonstrated: "Why. Jacky," he said, "do you think this is nice of you? Father has taken you to the circus, and Just think of all the things you've seen! The polar bear, and the elephants and " Dut Jacky's rage at this became un governable, and he found words. "The elephant" he walled, "the elephant wasn't wasn't half big enough!" DOGS CLIMBED UP ICY WALL. St. Bernards Saved from What Looked Like Certain Death. There was sorrow In the home of Hruno hronlch, says a tourist In a letter from Switzerland to a Glasgow paper, when It was learned there that the three beautiful St. Bernard dogs, Dlna, Medea and Solna. which had aided in many rescues, had been lost over a anowcovered precipice near Ilochschneeberg. They were with the party in search of the three moun taineers who were lost a few days be fore. They slipped off the Ice-covered llennluensteig and landed on a rock which overhung a deep chasm. From this they could not go down or vo, and the helpless animals howled pitifully. The animals were given up for lost, and for that reason the re joicing was great when at dawn the next day the dogs appeared at the rtaiimgartnerhaus and barked for ad mission. Investigation showed that the dogs had worked their way up against the almost perpendicular snow and Ice wall. The Practh e. "Good graciouB, Mrs. Rlter, what la all that noise and swearing about?"

A letter written by a woman decided a contest for the office of president of a men's club In New York a few days ago. There were two candidates for the place; one a clerk in a New York financial institution, whose young wife had been a working girl, the other a wealthy manufacturer. with a reputation among his neigh bors for "closeness." The day before the election each member of the lit tie club received a typewritten letter, signed by a woman whom all knew, which began with these words: "If what I write you Is not true. It Is libel." Then she said that the club should not honor Its "meanest man" and related some amusing incidents to demonstrate that she was not mis taken In her estimate of the man. In closing she wrote, "what do you think of a man who has his barn painted and says to his wife: 'That's your birthday present' If you can afford to elect that kind of a man for your president, go ahead!" The alleged "meanest man" was defeated. "Soupiana Dementia." Every time John Jenks of Seattle, Wash., sees soup he goes crazy. Vermicelli, consomme, mulligatawny, oxtail or Just bean soup It s all the same to John. Every time he sees soup, or a friend mentions soup, he shrieks and howls, and if he is of fered it at table he grabs the dish with a maniacal yell and throws It up In the air. When It's noodles Jenks rubs 'em In his hair, and when it's potato he washes his face In it and yells like a fiend. This Is the peculiar case agi tating Seattle; and Is the ground for a divorce applied for by Mrs. Sbehezerde Jenks who fears John's mania will spread. The courts have the matter under advisement and the doctors are diagnosing this case of "soupiana de mentia." Meantime polite folks, when John Jenks Is Invited to dine, make the cat eat the soup downmatrs safe away from all suggestion to Mr. Jenks. Buttermilk Loxenges and Long Life. Gen. Weaver recently recommended soft water for longevity, but the very latest fountain of youth la filled with buttermilk. A Paris scientist has dis covered that buttermilk Is a panacea and life prolonger and the Pasteur In stitute is turning out buttermilk tab lets by the hopperful. Good citizen who have no recourse to cows should fill their pockets with the lozenges, nibble them now and then and note the effects. They will do no harm, and on the other hand science's commendable pursuit of the secrets of a long life and a merry one deserves encouragement. Glorits and Glooms.
