Harking back to the d,ys when man roamed carelessly across green pastures unshackled by costly footwear; when cool, solid comfort met the naked foot at every step, and when corns and bunions were unheard of, four prominent Sacrainentans have formed what is to be known as the Sacramento Barefoot league, says a correspondent. There are four charter members of the league, all residents of Yardley avenue, and they are Dr. Robert E. Smith, James McCullough, L. O. I -unify and Steve Downey.

I The league was organized in quite an unintentional way. Which of the four was the originator is unknown. But it is intimated that Doctor Smith, for several years advocate of the Coatless Summer league for men, had something to do with it. At any rate, the league has had several meetings. The requirements of the league are these : No member must be too modest to display his bare feet. He must be without pedal covering in attending meetings. He must be

willing to, and enjoy, walking on his lawn before the assembled multitude,

including Ids wife, unshod. He must be willing to step into his neighbor's house in his bare feet and walk across his neighbor's hardwood lloors as nonchalantly as though he were Pithecanthropus in the jungles. Several meetings of the league have been held at the homes of the various charter members of Yardley avenue. The meetings are preceded by a cool walk upon the lawn of the host. As the evening becomes cool and members retire to the host's drawing room and are entertained with phonograph selections. Despite serious objections to the league ou the part of the better halves in some of the homes, the organization has grown and is now reaching out for congenial spirits. "Keep cool and comfortable and cure your corns," is the slogan of the

league.

Uric Acid Poisoning ? NEWS OF MANCHESTER

Washington Has a Squirrel That Is a Piledriver VW ASHLNGTON. There is a little fuzzy-tailed squirrel down in Judiciary park that will be a piledriver if it ever grows up. Its industry in burying nuts for winter consumption gives rise to this prognostication. There are

numerous squirrels in the park that surrounds the city hall, court of appeals building, and continues north to the pension ofliee building, but none of the fur-coated quadrupeds seem to be as thrifty as the one that William Lewis mechanician at the court of appeals, is aid to. This little nut-masticator frequently picks out as storage places for his winter food some hard ground immediately to the east of the appellate

clently with his claws to afford a shallow hole for the nut, the tender snout of the animal seems unavailing in driving the shell below frost level Mr. Lewis has solved the difficulty by placing a piece of a broom handle near the warehouse of Master Squirrel. The result is that the animal wields the hickory instead of its nose, and in this faslüon has it acquired the title of piledriver squirrel of Judiciarv square.

The most eminent physicians recognize that uric acid stored up in the

system is the cause of rheumatism, that tills uric acid poison Is present in the joints, muscles, or nerves. By experimenting and analysis at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute In Buffalo, N. Y., Dr. Pierce discovered a combination of native remedies that he called Anuric -which drives out the uric acid from the system, and in this way the pain, swelling and inflammation subside. If you are a sufferer from rheumatism, backache, pains here or there, you can obtain Anuric at any drug store and get relief from the pains and ills brought about by uric acid ; or send Dr. Pierce 10c for trial pkg. Anuric which you will find many times more potent than lithia and eliminates uric acid as hot water melts sugar. A short trial will convince you.

Heard at the Ball. "I just Know," simpered a young matron to a friend, as she gazed out upon the ballroom floor, "I just know that horrid Jones woman is in love with my husband. I know and I think she is the limit." "Nonsense, Mary," replied the friend. "You are imagining things. Why, your husband has hardly spoken to her this evening, excepting as the conversationalities demanded. You're dreaming. Wake up." "No, I'm not. I know what I'm talking about. She's simply head over heels In love with him." "How do you know that?" "Well, she has danced with my husband twice and no woman can do that without being dead in love with him and willing to overlook a great deal. 1 can't dance with him more than once myself."

On the Wire. The president of one of the large corporations in New York, whose business is measured in hundreds of millions of dollars annually, has not the temper of the angels. The employees, from the vice to the office boy, stand in holy dread of him. There came one day a new telephone operator. The president wanted to talk to someone In Washington,

and wanted him quick. He "got his party," and was thundering away, when squ-a-w-k-k-k ! Piner! S-S-s-tt!

and the connection was dished. The president was near to exploding, when a competent little voice came up from the switchboard : "Well, I guess I'm the little girl who put the mess in the message, ain't I? You just look out of the window, and I'll fix it in ten seconds." And she did. And he did. And the little operator moved up ahead of the vice in ofliee estimation, and is still at her switchboard.

Mexican war, 29; in the Civil war, 35; in the Spanish-American war. 45. and

today 48. The American flag is among the oldest of national flags, being older than the present union jack, the French tricolor and the flag of Spain and many years older than the flags of Germany and Italy, some of widen', like those of other countries, are personal flags, or those of reigning families There are no early colonial flags, such as were used by the Individual colon es and militia regiments before (lie flag of the United States was established by congress on June 4, 1777, now celebrated as Flag day. This act required "That the flag of the United Statos be 13 stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be 13 stars, white in blue field, representing a new constellation," but did not define how many points the stars should have how they should be arranged, nor make provision for additional ones. The navy immediately adopted this flag, but the army was much slower to act. Representative of the early stars-and-strlpe type, there is a 12-star flag said to have been used by John Paul Jones during the war of the Revolution. It measures 16 by 6 feet, and was presented to Lieut. James Bavard Staftord, U. S. N., on December 13, 17S4, by t e marine committee of the Continental congress as a reward for meritorious services during the Revolution, coming latr-r to the Smithsonian institution as a gift from Mr Harriet R. Perry Stafford.

Oliveless Days. British Consul Nugent said at a banquet in Chicago: "They tell a good story about a Greek army corps that surrendered to the Germans and was taken into foodstripped Germany to be the guest of the nation. "At Chemnitz, the story runs, a committee of famished Greek soldiers waited on the German commandant and said:

"'They told us that here in Chemnitz, commandant, the government would at least give us some rations.' "'Yes, and that's right, too,' said the German commandant genially, as he took a huge packet of cards from his desk. 'Here are your Greek ration cards specially got up by us for

our revered Greek guests. They entitle every Greek soldier to six olives a day five days per week, and. furthermore, on the two "oliveless days," they entitle each and every one of you to a cracker and a half-pint of coffee substitute.' "

city hall, a marriage license issued to him a little while before. "What is the matter? Did you have the girl's name spelled wrong?" asked Col. R. P. Belew, the official in charge. "No, indeed! This is a different girl. This one's name is Irene Walker and the other one was Irene Carter. If you can just change those four letters, this license will do." He was told the law did not permit the mutilation of such papers.

French Game Laws Suspended. The poor people of France, as well as the wealthy, are taking advantage of the privilege recently granted by M. Meline, the minister of agriculture, to all sportsmen, of high or low degree, to shoot the wild game that, since the war, has become superabundant, doing great damage to crops. Hares, pheasants and wild ducks have been the chief offenders, and these are being killed in jrreat num

Questions of Practicality.

fHe finds it impractical to hold his

present line," writes a distinguished war correspondent, and the new adjective (although it should be "impracticable") may be welcomed as a substitute for that mongrel abomination 'unpractical" a Latin word with a Snxcn prefix-. "Unfortunate." "unpopular." and "unfavorable" belong to the same category, but they are too firmly established ever to be ousted from the language, but "unpractical" is quite a modern invention, and is only to be found In a few later dictionaries.

recent announcement seven positions paying a minimum of $7,140 in annual salaries and a maximum of .$10,000 were offered to men and women desirous of entering the government service through the avenue of the civil service examination. These positions range from the lowest paid, at $300 a year for an apprentice draftsman, to

a technical place paying a maximum of $3,000 a year. The steady development of the

great technical bureaus of the government, like the bureau of standards bureau of mines, the bureaus of forestry and fisheries,, the reclamation service and the geological survey, continually enlarges the field of government work and draws more and more upon the country for its experts. For example, the civil service commission announces an open competitive examination, for men only, for petroleum technologist, to go into the field and supervise or assist in the work the government is doing in the oil fields. Salaries for this position range from $2.500 to $3,000 a year. The government requires that the applicant must have graduated in geology from a college or university.

They must understand the technology of structural clay products, refractories and pottery, and have had practical experience in the work. These places will pay from $900 to $1,200 a year.
