MAKES A WIDE FOOT LOOK NEAT 1 9ft This dainty four strap slipper is a big seller to iadies who have a wide foot or a high instep.

Getting Away From Land. The hits been naked, Is It possible to still 1,000 miles from land? This can be done nt several points. By leaving Ban Francisco and sailing northwestward into the north Pacific a spot Is coached where there In no land, not even an islet, for 1,000 miles Lu any direction, bo, too, sailing from the southern point of Kamchatka aouthweatwurd ships roach u point equally distant from land of any kind, the nearest to the north being the Aleutian islands and to the south the outlying members of the Hawaiian group. In the southern Indian ocean it is possible to sail 1,000 miles out from the southern points of Australia and New Zealand and still be as far from any other laud, and the same may be done in a westerly direction from Cape Hom. Indeed, from this point a much longer distance might be reached, for the southern Pacific between the Hern and New Zealand covers a space of 80 degrees of longitude and 40 of latitude of absolutely unbroken sea, making its Central point over 1,200 miles from anywhere. Municipal Granaries. For more than two centuries the authorities of London maintained municipal granaries, the first one having been established by Sir Stephen Brown, lord mayor. In 1138. By means of these city granaries the authorities held the “corn badgers” in check and regulated not only the price of corn, but of bread. The great fire in London destroyed the last of these granaries and also the public mills and ovens in which the city's grain was ground and baked, and the system was not thereafter Introduced, chiefly because the general laws against grain speculators were sufficient to restrain undue speculation. Corn markets were held, however, as late as the "beginning of the eighteenth century at Bear quay, in Thames street, London, w hile Queeubithe was the chief market for flour and meal, and later the metropolitan trade centered In the world famous Corn Exchange in Mark lane. — New York Times. Cold Doesn’t Always Contract. There are many ways of demonstrat- ’ Ing the fallacy of the assertion that "heat expands, cold contracts.” When water (other liquids as well) freezes to ice it increases in bulk. Someunies it Is said, however, that the volume of the sum of the ice crystals alone is no greater than that of the original liquid, but that the crystals of ice do not Ct in well together and leave spaces between them which account for the apparent Increase In volume. Molten metals, as a rule, contract upon solidification, which is nothing but freezing. Some alloys, on the other hand, expand when solidified. Type metal, which is composed chiefly of lead and antimony, is such an alloy. This propensity is of particular advantage in this case because it causes the metal in solidifying to fill up every tiny corner and hair space in the matrix.—New York World. Wild Zebras. The zebra w-hen wild is a ferocious animal, and an unwary hunter is likely to suffer from its teeth and hoofs. The author of “Kloof and Karroo" says that a Boer in Cape Colony had once forced a zebra to the brink of a precipice, when the desperate creature turned upon him, attacked him with its teeth and actually toro one of his feet from the leg. Another author writes of a soldier who mounted a half domesticated zebra. The creature, after making the most furious attempts to get rid of Its rider, plunged over a steep bank into the river and threw the soldier as it emerged. While the man lay half stunned upon the ground the zebra quietly walked up to him and bit off one of his ears. An Old Time Advertisement. In old newspapers the advertisements make interesting reading. Here is one from the London Chronicle of 1785: “Run Away.—Whereas Thomas Williams, Apprentice to John Clark of Queensborough, in the County of Kent, dredgerman, has run away from his said master’s service and not been heard of these three years, if the said Thomas Williams will return to his master’s service within three months after the date of this advertisement be will be kindly received, and whoever harbours him after this notice will be prosecuted as the law directs." Airing Mattresses. If you have a flat roof take every mattress in the house up there opce a week and leave them in the hot sun for several hours. They will then be fluffy and sweet smelling. It would be well for the pillows and bedding to receive the same treatment. A mattress will be easier to handle if straps are attach 1 to the sides, and for this purpose pieces of old suspenders are very satisfactory, or strips made from bed ticking. Sew the straps or handles on firmly, two on each side. Just So. “I don't know that I would have the nerve to appear iu a monocle. My friends would probably guy me to death. Still, I like to Imagine myself with a monocle." "Sort of wearing it in your mind’s eye, so to speak.”—Louisville CourierJournal. Sure They Were. “Walter, are any of the coffrpounds on this bill of fare of a deleterious nature?” “Oh, yes, sir. We have the latest things out’’—Baltimore American.

* THE QUARRY.

“The Quarry.” a Sidlg Diamond Special In three reels, tells of the futility of circumstantial evidence, of “third degree” methods; of the long arm of the law; of the dog-llke devotion at i i so called “crook,” of how finally Jim Montgomery, branded as a robber and murderer, and os an escaped convict, becomes exonerated in the eyes of the world. Jim Montgomery Is a-machinist out at employment. He looks for work, for he wishes to purchase a foot brace tor his little sister, a paralytic. He applies with a kit of tools at a machine shop, is refused employment, is spied upon by two yeggmen who fell him with a blow, steal his tools and force open the safe. Montgomery regaining consciousness, goes on their trait and arrives on the scene just as the watchman is murdered. The yeggmen escape and Detective Kearney arriving, finds Jim

FREE LOVE CULT (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) order to denounce him." “ ‘She pursued and berstej me,’ said Callison, tragetically. ‘She called me names in the presence of others. She called me ‘fool’ and ‘devil.’ She said I followed the gospel to be with women. Before God, she accused me o' such things.” “At this juncture the fair Margaret Buck entered herself into the forum. Callison continued to become eloquent until he burst into tears over the shameful conduct of his wife had caused him to witness in public. “This is not a Holy Roller meeting," said Henry U. Johnson, arising from his seat. Cut out that yip-yiping. You are not at a street corner meeting.” When Johnson, wi«o was defending the wife, started the examination, Rev. Mr. Callison assumed a very tragic air. “Where is your field?” asked Mr. Johnson. “The world is my circuit, more or less," replied Callison, apparently dejected over the attorney's rebuke. “Well, what is it, more or less?” Johnson demanded. “More,” said Callison. “Are these people Holy Rollers?" the attorney asked. “Folks call them that,” said Callison. Attorney Johnson asked Callison if it was not his custom to hug and kiss the women in his party, Mrs. Buck and Ella Jones. “I w’as justified in love for Margaret." replied CaFpon. “Did you not intend to divorce your wife and marry her?” asked Johnson. At this point Margaret could not stand the strain. She screeched. The entire audience jumped, including Judge Fox. “Take her out, take her out.” the judge told Deputy Sheriff Mashmeyer, who then cautioned Mrs. Buck to observe more strictly the court rules. The examination continued, Attorney Johnson asking Callison if he remembered when Ella Jones and Chas. Parsons were compelled to leave the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Lane, North Sevenah and B streets, for misconduct, and if he recalled his player at another time when he said he was justified by love for similar actions. Although the evidence was directed at Margaret Buck, she sat unabashed, with a far away smile on her face, her mind apparently lifted from the vulgarity of terrestial surroundings and floating elsewhere. Joy seamed to fill her and she started another series of each-piercing screeches, smiling happily. “Take her to the back room and keep her there," Judge Fox demanded. Although Mrs. Buck is a strong, vigorous woman, she was led from the court room like a child by Deputy Mashmeyer. She smiled happily, gazing into space. She was unable to contain her emotions there and continued to given vent tp them in a manner which distracted the court attorneys. “Stop the case,” Judge Fox finally said. “I find for the defendant.” When the finding was communicates to other Holy Rollers in the room, there was laughing and weeping for some minutes. Tn one corner, Callison's grown daughter, who hart te~tii fled for her mother, was sympathizing

■ and the fateful tools. Jim is arrested, convicted of murder on circumstantial evidence, and sentenced to state's ' prison. ' Jim escapes with the aid of his cellmate, returns to his home and finds . his little sister has passed away. He , goes to a distant city. ■ Detective Kearney has the cellmate paroled and follows him. He discov- ; ers Jim’s whereabouts through fol’owing Jim's mother to the distant city. > In the meantime, Jim's cellmate finds the yegg who killed the watchman and hurries him to Jim’s town. He arrives with the real criminal just in time to save Jim from arrest by the detective. Jim has won the love of a beautiful girl and in the days that follow, we see a happy home occupied by Jim and Nellie with the former cellmate, who never had a chance, as a tried . and true servant.

with her father. In another the victorious wife was being congratulated. The attorneys swarmed the lower part of the room. Callison was finally called on to restore Mrs. Buck’s mind from its celesl tial wanderings. He did so, and fol- > lowed by a mob of attorneys, wit- ’ nesses and court attaches, the two 1 marched down the court house stai» • to the clerk's office, singing HalMujah, while others shouted unintelligible words. The case cost Callison $65, while Mrs. Calliscn had only to pay her at- : torney. ! Callison and his group of evangel- ■ ists have been holding meetings at Seventh and Main streets for several weeks. Mrs. Buck is the organist.” i The Bluffton Banner says: "Wil1 liam Shaneyfelt, who recently left this city, is supposed to be at the head of ’ the Holy Rollers at Richmond and re- • ports here are that he recently mar- ’ ried Mrs. Buck, mentioned in the Richmond dispatch. Shaneyfelt's wife ■ here was given a divorce from him.” o GOES TO MICHIGAN. Joseph Shady left today for the extreme northern part of the peninsula of Michigan, where he will spend the summer with a son, George Shady. - He may also decide to remain for the winter, which they have assured him is very delightful, with the cold, but dry climate. Mr. Shady has been st the home of his daughter, Mrs. Martin Beery, in this city for some time. He will be eighty-five years of age in June, but is very active and the five-hundred mile trip north will not tax his strength greatly. — o FIREMEN HOLD MEMORIAL. .
