ALL RECORDS BK0K1. ' - r -i ' S . '. r :' Mllims' Fire Sale of Shoes Continues

A FAST PACE IN SHOE SELLING SET BY J. M. WILLIAMS. The doors were opened on "Williams' fire sale Friday, January 17. From that time on, whenever h e store was open, dozens of shoe buyers were on the floor and almost every patron went out with one or more packages. What does it mean? Just this: The people know the difference between a bona fide cut price sale and a bogus one; and that they know the class of footwear Williams carries is first class in everyway. Every pair of boots, shoes or rubbers sold there is of standard quality or the customer is plainly told of any defect. The Williams store is a safe place to trade at any time and now while the firs sale and attendent low prices. None can afford to miss laying in a supply of footwear. Stop in and look around whether you need shoes or not. To look means to buy.

Mr. and Mrs. Yates, who returned from Quebec last week, left a temperature of 35 degrees below zero and found the change to 30 above most agreeable.

Remarkable Care of Croup a Little Bot'i Lite Saved. I have a few words to say regard-' ing Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It saved my little boy's life and I feel that I cannot praise it enough. I bought a bottle of it from A. E. Steere of Goodwin, S. D., and when I got home with it the poor baby could hardly breathe. I gave the medicine as directed every ten minutes until he "threw up" and then I thought sure he was going to choke to death. Whe had to pull the phlegm out of his mouth in great long strings. I am positive that if I had not got that bottle of cough medicine, my boy would not be on earth today. Joel Demoxt, Inwood, Iowo. For sale by A. G. Luken & Co. and W. A.

Firm in their belief that sleep is a waste of time, a number of men and women of Chicago have organized themselves into a society which proposes to teach people that too great a part of their lives is spent in useless slumber. The organization is called the Four Hour Sleep club, and the members are pledged to sleep but four hours a night. The members contend that sleeping in excess of that time is purely a habitthat is. nothing short of sinful in this day of hurry and progress. It is an addiction, they argue, as harmful and intemperate as the excessive use of Intoxicants, tobacco or drugs. Members of the club who have children are rearing them to observe the same restriction with regard to alleged overindulgence in nigiitly rest. Some claim that a child five years of age cau be trained to do on four hours' sleep, but the majority is of the opinion that children should be allowed from six to eight hours, the amount decreasing as the child grows older. The club has secured a large amount of literature on the subject, and the members quote abundance of authority to show that they are right iu their contentions. They ioint. to Napoleon and a number of the greatest generals. writers and thinkers of history, who are alleged to have taken four hours' Weep a night and less. - - i Mr. Gaul, the president of the club, says that it was through a natural aversion he has to sleep, as well as a realization of its wastefulness, that be was Induced to abandon the "habit." His wife and child, six years old. also manage to live with the stinted rest, and all seem to enjoy good health and bright mental faculties. The man who sleeps eight hours out of twenty-four and lives to be eightyone years old has In reality lived but fifty-four years. Twenty-seven he has spent In this suspension of all the powers of the lody and mind. On the other band, the man who sleeps but four hours a night will have spent nearly sixty-eight years of real life if he attains the age of eighty-one years. Chicago Chronicle. A. F.

It is one of the peculiarities of th Chinese that, while they have developed elaborate philosophies, none of them has led to any contidenoe in the unifortuity of nature. Neither the people nor their rulers liave any Used opinion as to the causes of rainfall. The plan in some provinces when the need of rain is felt is to Imrrow a god from a neighlKiric.g district and etitlon hltu for the ltsir'.K rain. If his answer is satisfactory, he is returned to his home with every mark of honor; otherwise he may be put out in the sun as a hint to w ake up and do his duty. A bunch of willow is usually thrust Into Lis hand, as willow is sensitive to moisture. Another plan in extensive use is the building of srM-cial temples in -which are wells tmt;iiing several Iron tablets. When there is a scarcity of rain, a messenger starts out with a tabh-t marked with the d.ue of the journey and the name of the district making the petition. Arriving at another city, he pays a sum of money and Is allowed to draw a new tablet from the well, throwing in his own by way of exchange. On the return Journey. he I supposed to eat only bran aud travel at top speed day and night. Sometimes he passes through districts as greatly In need of rain as his own. Then the people in these places waylay him and, teuy rarily borrowing Wit tablet, get tlie ru-a intended for auptb er place. , Prayers are usually made In the fiftu and sixth months when the rainfall ! always due, and a li ajr't of ten days is set for their effective operation. Under such conditions rain usually falls during the prescrilt-d time. When the prayers are in progress, the umbrella, .among" other objects, comes under the ban. In some provinces foreigners have been roohlied for carrying this harmless article at that time. R - It l-'amiljr Kamn. It Is Interesting to get what appeart to be an authoritative explanation ol the odd names in the Roosevelt family They come from the mother's side. Before her marvlcge she was a Mis Carow. not Carew. The name Is as old French Huguenot one. originall.i spelled Quereau. but was changed U Carow by Mrs. Roosevelt's grandfather. Isaac Carow, who experienced much trouble with men In business who never seemed able to spell Quereau properly. The name of Quentln, one of the boys, belongs oa the Carow side and was also a French Huguenot name, originally spelled Quantine. Th same explanation applies to the name of Kermlt doubtless.
