Foote, who wanted to dispose of his boot and shoe store at a bargain, having made up his mind to remove to the city. “That's the very thing,” he said. “Selling shoes is a nice easy occupa- tion. It will glve me just enough to @o to keep me from stagnating, and it won't wear me out with overwork. I'll investigate it. It's queer, though, that his name is Foote, my name i3 Foote, he wants to come to the city and T want to go to the country.” A visit to the little town declded him. He liked its appearance and lo- cation, He was pleased, moreover, with “Foote’s Shoe Store” and bought it, good will and all, at a bargain. “Well,” said the other Mr. Foote, “you won’t have to change the sign.” “No,” he answered slowly. “T'll just add a little to 1t.” The next day he added this, just below' the slgn: “This place has changed feet.” . A Psychlo Phenomenon. An extraordinary incident is connect- ed with Professor von Herkomer’s fa- mous painting, “The Last Muster,” which was the picture of its year at the academy. One morning soon after the exhibi- tion was opened the artist was aston- ished to receive a letter from a lady, a perfect stranger, who sald she was not aware untll she saw “The Last Muster” at the academy on the previ ous day that her mother, then dead, had ever sat to the professor for her portrait. Now, the figure in the picture was painted solely from imagination, and the artist hastened to explain this fact to his correspondent. She thereupon asked for an appointment and took an ofl painting of her mother, asserting that it was a faithful representation of that lady. The academician was astonished to percelve that he had really portrayed on his own canvas a facsimile of the figure in this other palnting, although it was that of a woman whom he had never seen in his life—London M. A. P, Shipwrecks and Courts Martlal. The custom of holding courts martlal in the British navy after every case of shipwreck has a curlous origin. In 1741 the Wager, one of Commodore Anson’s vessels, was wrecked off the coast of Chile, most of the crew being saved. The men and some of the jun- for officers held that they were no longer amenable to discipline because their pay ceased with the wreck, but the captain, whose name was Davy Cheap, differed, treated them as muti- neers and shot one of his midshipmen. He was then deposed, and most of the crew made off in three of the boats. Later when it was proposed to proceed agalnst the so called mutineers the law officers of the crown decided that the -men had been correct in their view. This discovery led to the framing of sectlon 91 of the articles of war, which provides that in the case of shipwreck, destruction or capture by the enemy a ship 15 held to remain in commission pending inquiry by & court martial. The Pigs of Brittany. “Brittany is all right,”” the traveled man- said cautlously, “but beware of the pigs there. The Breton pig is not fat and indolent like ours. He is as lean and flery as a wolf and twice a wolf’s size. All over Brittany you see him, swaggering up and down the white roads in search of roots, berries, frogs, anything—for he must forage for himself—his master never feeds him, Step out of his way, or he will snarl and leap at you. “The Bretons are great drunkards. BSometimes they fall asleep beside the road. They awake with a sharp pain In the arm or leg, the pain of a hungry hog’s teeth.” —New Orleans Times- Democrat. A Picture Story. Two hunters are seen walking all over the moving picture. They think they are following bear tracks. Suddenly the foremost hunter stops with a start. “By gum,” he shouts, “them ain’t b'ar’s tracks at all; them’s the slide man’s dirty thumb marks.”—Bohemian Magazine. The $1,500 Kind. “Ah, that's pretty!” said Mr., Snooks, looking over a number of architectural designs. “What is that?” “That,” said the architect, “Is a $1,- 600 bungalow.” “What will it cost to build it?” asked Mr. Snooks. i “About $8,000,” said the architect.— Judge's Library. BECOMES MORE WIDESPREAD | Btrike of Steel Laborers at Pittsburg Leads to Many Arrests, Pittsburg, Aug. 4.—A strike of street laborers, which has been considered & minor affair by the authorities for some days, has hecome widespread and gangs of the men are paradiag the' streets to demonstrate to other eity and street rallway employes the benefit of joining the demand for more wages.

New York, Aug. 4—One man in ev- ery thirtytwo and one woman in ev- ery eleven die from cancer in this country, according to Dr. M. E. Foote, consulting physician to the New York skin and cancer hospital. “I have no hesitancy in declaring cancer the worst physical scourge with which we have to contend today,” said Dr. Foote, In an Interview. “Cancer is far more dreaded than tuberculosts, for although the death rate from can- cer {s'not yet so great as that from tuberculosis it is steadily on the in- crease, while the great white plague has been partially conquered by medi- cal experimentation and is on the de- crease.” IN THE MASSACRE DISTRICT Outeide Rellef Still Urgently Needed in Armenla. ‘Washington, Aug. 4—Needs for out- slde relief in the Armenian district of Turkey where there were such fearful massacres during the spring, is still great, according to a cablegram to the state department from the Ameriean embassy at Constantinople.

A well known Brooklyn clergyman in a talk to his Sunday school urged the children to speak to him whenever they met. The next day a dirty faced urchin accosted him in the street with, “How do, do=?" The clergyman stopped and cordial- Iy inquired, “And who are you, sir?" “I'm one of your little lambs,” re- pled the boy affably. “Fine day!" And, tiiting his hat to the back of his bead, he swaggered off, leaving the worthy divine speechless_with amaze- ment. Proper Glasse worn in time will prevent untold - suffering.
