The Weak Point /JflE The weak point of most shoes is the arch; there all the jPr strain and weight are concentrated. It is the one vitai point that should be firmly supported. The arch construction of the “Krippendorf” shoe gives this support. Cfllv There is an indescribable snugness under the arch that ggg most other shoes have ever lacked. It relieves the strain |W on the delicate and sensitive parts of the foot. i Ladies’ $3.00, $3.50 and $4.00 Charlie Voglewede SELLS THE SHOES

MIXED IN THE THUNDER. A Scene In "Macbeth” That Was Not on the Playbill. It is related of Cooke, the actor, that when a youth, being without the necessary cash to pay for a seat “in front,” he got behind the scenes one night and hid himself in a barrel. He had tor companions two large cannon balls, but the youth, not being initiated into the mysteries of the place, did not suspect that cannon balls helped to make thunder in a barrel as well as In a twenty-four pounder. The play was “Macbeth.” and in the first scene the thunder was required to give due effect to the situation of the crouching witches. It was not long ere the Jupiter Tonaus of the theater, alias the property men, approached and seized the barrel, and the horror of the eoncealed boy may be imagined as the man proceeded to cover the open end with a piece of old carpet and tie it carefully to prevent the thunder from being split. Cooke was profoundly and heroically silent. The machine was lifted by the brawny stage servitor and carried carefully to the side scene lest in rolling the thunder should rumble before its cue. All was made ready, the witches took their places amid flames of resin, the thunder bell rang, the barrel received its Impetus with young Cooke and the cannon balls, the stage stricken lad roaring lustily, to the amusement of the thunderer, who neglected to stop the rolling machine, which entered on the stage, and Cooke, bursting off the carpet head of the barrel, appeared before the audience, to the horror of the weird sisters and to the hilarity of the spectators.—Loudon Mail.

MUSHROOMS. Those That Are Poisonous Always Carry the "Death Cup.” Mushrooms when poisonous are the most dangerous plants in existence, as there is no antidote for the poison. Without going into the intricacies of the edible “meadow” (Agaricus campestris), and the “horse” mushroom (Agaricus arvensls), which are among the most wholesome and valuable vegetables, and of the numerous other harmless and nutritious varieties, as distinguished by their dark spores from the poisonous kind with white spores, one rule of observation will preserve the health and safety of any one collecting wild mushrooms for eating. Without the use of a single technical term, the difference in poisonous and nonpolsonous mushrooms is easily shown, even to a novice. What botanists call the “death cup,” the volva around the stipe, or, in plainer terms, the socket around the stem, is never absent from the leadly mushrooms. Sometimes it is distinct, well above ground, up around the lower part of the stem; then again it is below ground, but not attached to the stem so as to lose the cup shape, and sometimes it grows upon or is attached to the stem, giving it a bulbous, swollen base. Severely reject every plant that has a bulbous stem or the cup standing out around the stem. All edible and harmless mushrooms have straight stems, the same size from the root to the cap.—Georgia Torrey Denman in Good Housekeeping.

Mystification. His weakness was prevarication. His wife detested lying and constantly urged him to mend his ways. One morning she said: “Will, see if you can’t be perfectly truthful today. Don’t tell a lie. Now, promise!” He promised and went away to work. When he came home to dinner, she said: “Dear, did you keep your promise?” "I did,” he replied soberly. Then he caught her in his arms. “Darling.” he cried, “I will not He to you. When I said I had kept my promise to you, I did not tell the truth; but, believe me, that was the only lie I told all day.” For twenty-two seconds she was lost in perplexity. Then she gave it up; the problem was too deep for her. The Part He Lost. A New England man tells of a prosperous Connecticut farmer painfully exact in money matters who married a widow of Greenwich possessing in her own right the sum of SIO,OOO. Shortly after the wedding a friend met the farmer, to whom he offered congratulations, at the same time observing, “It’s a good thing for you, Malachi, a marriage that means SIO,OOO to yon.” “Not quite that, Bill,” said the farmer; “not quite that.” “Why.” exclaimed the friend, “I understood there was every cent of SIO,OOO In it for you." “I had to pay $2 for a marriage license,” said Malachi. Gnawed Hie Way Out of Prison. A burglar named Schaarschmidt, In prison at Gera, deliberately set to work to gnaw through a thick oaken beam In front of his cell window. It was a work of seven weeks. The fragments of wood which were torn away with bis teeth he replaced with chewed bread until the beam was almost gnawed through. A final smashing noise was heard by the wardens, but before they could appear Schaarschmidt had escaped.—London Chronicle. Just the Same as Usual. . “I thought you said you weren’t going to drink any more.” "I did.” , “But here you are drinking as much as ever.” “Well, that isn't any more, Is it?”— Kansas City Independent A broad minded mftn never loses any •leep because another man’s opinions fail to agree with his own.—Wright City News.
