BOOTS NOW AND LONG AGO

Some Difference in the Price of Pumps and the First Real Cop per-Toed Pair. Do you remember your first pair of boots, with the copper toes,, bright and shiny, proof that you were a real fellow, asks Charles E. Hunt in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. And the red leather tops? And do you recall that you had not yet learned to distinguish the right from the left foot and went back to Shoemaker Condon to get him to show you? And didn’t he punch a hole in the red top of the right one, by which you were to know that went on the right foot? • What happened in the school yard that first morning you appeared with the boots on? Didn’t Kitten Smith with full knowledge of his advantage according to the rules of the game, walk up and deliberately “Put-too” right across the shiny copper toe, and didn’t your trusted chum Dutch Magee do the same. And while you were playing “pum, pum, pull-away” and before the last bell rang didn’t every boy In the school yard spit on your boots to break ’em In, as they called If? Hadn’t every feller before you stood for It? And seeing as how you were the proud owner of the only pair of new boots with copper toes in the whole school couldn’t you afford to let them show envy? And have you forgotten the heavy, damp snow and the first day when you went sliding down hill and catching on bobsleds and got your feet wet? And how .the new boots pulled off hard and mother put them under the kitchen stove to dry? And next morning when you' tried to put them on? And how you pulled and suffered and the skin seemed to be peeling off your feet in layers? But you get them on, didn’t you? Do you remember how every inch of skin shrieked out your agony as you walked to school and your drawn face but ill concealed your pain? Didn’t you envy the fellers with their old broken-in boots. Do you remember the hitching posts that lined the curb along Main street. And the big auger holes in them and the wood that had been chewed away by the horses because their owners had been in town tracing all day and the horses were tired ?, That has to do with Vene Hershom, don’t it? And didn’t Vene ajways come to town with his pants tucked in his boots, and he' wore a coat, and his big coarse straw hat was'torn, and he traded and the store let him have the things without money until his harvest was In? And what would Vene’s big boots cost him today If shoes are high because of the high cost of leather? Do you recall what you paid for Erlend Wife’s new pumps because the newest heels are not so high and French heels are going out? Figuring on the cost of leather, Vene could not afford boots, could het Because If they cost the same as wife’s pumps on the leather alone, Vene would pay $197.63, plus war tax, wouldn’t he?

milk can be freed from disease germs without heating above 145 degrees to 147 degrees Fahrenheit. At this low temperature, the state of the milk Is not altered and its properties seem to ba In no way Impaired, while the electric treatment greatly increases the time of keeping. The tests were made with two types of apparatus, different degrees of current and several qualities of milk.

She Had It All Wrong.

The young man was giving a graphic account''of a narrow escape he had had from an enraged bull. “I seized him by the tail,” he exclaimed, “an’ there I was! I was afraid to hold on, and I dare not let go!" “Between the horns of a dilemma, as it were,” ventured Miss Dubious. “No,” replied the young man, “I wasn’t between the horns at all; and, besides, he wasn’t a dilemma, he was a Jersey!”

Lessened Mortality.

A Baltimore specialist on diphtheria is quoted as saying that the conquest of this disease in Its first stages can now be formally proclaimed. It is stated that statistics reveal that whereas formerly four out of every ten persons stricken with diphtheria died, now only four out of 100 die. It is only a ‘ comparatively few years ago that diphtheria was one of the most dreaded diseases.

Didn’t Wait to Be Asked.

A young man asked me to “go to a dance. Wishing to go with another toy who I was quite sure intended to ask me, I thoughtlessly replied r “I’m sorry, but I’m going with John.” “That sounds good to me,” said a voice behind me, and, looking around I discovered John —he had heard the whole conversation. —Exchange.

Seasoned.

•‘How did the returned soldier make himself such a favorite with the women?” “When he told them how he had been mustered In and then peppered with shot, he convinced them he was the salt of the earth.”

Do Away With the Cause.

The surest way to prevent seditions (if the times do bear It) is to take away the matter for them, for if there be fuel prepared it is hard to tell whence the spark shall come that shall set it on fire. —Bacon.

He Has Our Sympathy.

“So Helen Strongmind is to be married to Mr. Wurm.” “Not exactly. Helen says he is to be married to her.” “Oh, yes, of course. She’s asked you to be her bridesmaid, hasn’t she?” “No; she asked me to be her ‘best woman.’ ’’—Boston Transcript.

After the Deluge.

“What was the result of the flood?* asked the Sunday school teacher. “Mud I” replied the bright youngster. —London Tit-Bits.

SENATOR BORAH TO TAKE ACTIVE PART ON STUMP

Boise, Idaho, Aug. 29.; —Senator William E. Borah left Boise this afternoon for eastern cities to take part in the republican election cam- j paign. | Just before his departure the senator made a definite statement of his position in the contest. He said: . I “I- am going east to take part in the campaign. From September 15 to November 3, I expect to spend my time with it. In the immediate’ future I expect to be in Indiana and New York and will start my eastern campaign at Indianapolis. in the campaign I expect to be sent again to the west, if not to Idaho, though I will probably be in Idaho some time in October. I have already delivered twenty speeches in this state, and for this reason, the campaign leaders think I should be available elsewhere. “In my speeches I will deal with the league of nations and the restoration of constitutional government. On these subjects I will present my views without regard to strict agreement with the views of any leader. They (the campaign leaders) are anxious to have me do it.”

ATENTION COMRADES

All veterans of the Civil War are requested to meet at the G. A. R. Hall in the court house Tuesday afternoon and from there attend the funeral of our late comnfde Robert Crocket. It was his request that as many soldiers as possible attend.

It is understood that the base ball tournament, which opened at Goodland Saturday, ended in a row, the eruption being due to the refusal of the Goodland hotel owner to give the Danville colored players hotel accommodations for the night. In the first round Talbot defeated Goodland and Danville won from Kokomo.

Ralph DePalma, driving a Ballot car, won the Elgin road race Saturday, averaging a trifle better than 79 miles an hour, a new record for the track. DePalma assumed the lead at the very start and held it throughout the race.
