1 ALMOST THE SAME. ODD SHOE FACTS. Herr Krupp's Hallroatd Was m Wide Anybody'. Dinky Old TrackiTsy, The waking hours of G. Otto Krupp were spnt In thinking of icherutis w here by he might get rich quick. As the owner of an eight-niil railroad he was a person of considerable local impor tance in the Pennsylvania German set tlement where he resided. One morning, relate Lippincott's, when Mr. Krupp's brain was particular ly active, it occurred to him that by send ing passes over his road to the presi dents of the big railroade of the country he might recelre complimentary passes in return. Thle would enable him to see something of the world at compara tively small expense, and such passes as he could not use personally he could dispose of advantageously. Mr. Krupp lost no time in getting letterheads print ed with his own name In large type ax president. Then he sent "R. & A." passes broadcast and awaited results. One hot afternoon a flushed repre sentative of a big western road walked into Mr. Krupp's office and said he had been all over town looking for the "R. & A." railroad, and could not find it. He said he was sent from Philadelphia to investigate before the company Usued a pass over its entire line. "It is chusi outside of town-f. t min utes valk," explained Mr. krurp, suavely. "How lorg ia your rcZ?" t.iYt tt railroad's represrt4'jTe. "About eight miUt. ! rink."

"Veil." ariwered Mr Km;?, raw ing himself up with as air of cer.ci dignity, "maybe my rose! ain't so kLf as yours, but it'i chust as vid." Greek shoos wero peculiar in ro:wh ing to the middle of the logs. The present fashion of shoos was introduced into England in KYXi. In the ninth snd tenth centuries the greatest princes of Europe wore wood en shoes. Shoes among he Jews were made of leather, linen, rush or wood; soldiers' shoos were sometimes made of brass or Iron. In tho reign of Richard II. shoes were of such absurd length as to ro- i quire to be supported oy being tieu to the kuees with chains, sometimes of gold or silver. In the reign of William Rufus of England in the eleventh century a great "dude," Robert the Horned, used shoes with sharp points stuffed with tow and twisted like rams' horns. Hie Romans made use of two kinds of shoes the solou, or scandal, which cov ered the sok of the foot and was worn at home, and the calceus, which cov ered the whole foot and was worn abroad. Victory and After. Many a man in a moment of fine en thusiasm applauds Patrick Henry's "Give me liberty or give me death." It is a proper sentiment to entertain, but not easy to lire up to. Mcst of us feel more like the Tenn ST)vr.:s Dutch nun who told his wife t.t v r::e .c.:i appropriate inscription on Lr kr..rssck. which she was packing f ere of h!s departure to join CHARACTER OF ISABELLA. The lli-autifnl (Wort of Ferdinand Who lloliii'd Columbus. Isabella was a lady, she was a queen, and, above all she was an autocrat. Gracious and gentle in her manner, says II. Hick Hurke's "A History ol Spain," she brooked no opposition from prince or peer, and she soon made it known and felt throughout Spain that, although she was the daughter of John II. and the sister of Henry IV., her will was law in Castile. ReautifuL virtuous, discreet, with that highest ex pression of prud dignity that is seen in a peculiar simplicity of manner, with a hard heart aud a fair eoutenance, an inflexible will, and a mild manner something of a formalist, more of a bigot Isabella united much that was characteristic of old Castile with not a tittle that was characteristic of new Spain. And if lier boldness was in- MODERN RACE HORSES.

An accomplished horsewoman, a tireless traveler, indefatigable in her attention to business of state, the queen with her court moved about from place to place, swift to punish crime and to encourage virtue, boldly composing the differences and compelling the submission of rival nobles, frowning upon the laxity of the clergy, denouncing the heresy of the people aud laying a heavy hand upon enemies of every degree and evildoers of every class. In Andalusia the unaccus tomed and unexpected presence of the sovereign was everywhere productive of peace and order. Even in the remotest districts of Golieia the royal power was felt.

Traffic on Broadway was almost blocked for a few moments the other afternoon by the actions of two wom en, who went through what was evi dently a superstitious rite which no one but themselves could understand. The women were middle aged, the New York Herald states, and beyond reproach in appearance, and no one noticed them, as they crossed Herald square; but mid way of the Thirty-fifth and Thirty-sixth street block they paused, turned back and together retraced their footsteps for a short distance, gazing steadily at the ground as though they had lost some thing. When they had gone a few yards they stopped, and each woman put out her right foot and carefully touched one of the paving stones with the toe of her Ehoe. Then the? turned again and re Fumed their walk in tho most matter of fact way in the world. But the on lookers did not take it fo coolly. New Vor' f r; r re a curious people, And those who had noticed the women's ac tion rfc Ived to find out if there was anything peculiar about one of those pavinc stones. They stared eaeerly to ward h part of the pavement, and ether p.rsor.s, who had not seen the women, followed the crowd. But noth ing unusual eouid be found in the pave ment, and it was decided that it must be a new superstition, such as had not before been heard of, even in New York, which is a cosmopolitan In superstitions as it is In fashions, OTcrdld It.

TEASDALE, General Passenger Agent, St. 1'al, Mlnun stops irregularities, strengthens the urinary organs and builds, up the worn-out tissues of the kidneys so they will perform their functions properly. Healthy kidneys strain out the impurities from the blood as it passes through them. Diseased kidneys do not, and the poisonous waste matter is carried by the circulation to every part of the body, causing dizziness, backathe, stomach trouble, sluggish liver, irregular heart action, etc If you have any signs of Kidney or Bladder Trouble commence taking FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURE at once, as it will cure a slight disorder in a few days and prevent a fatal malady. It is pleasant to take and benefits the whole system. How to Find Out. You can easily determine if your kidneys are Out of order by setting aside for 24 hours a bottle of the urine passed upon arising. If upon examination it is cloudy or milky or has a brick-dust sediment or small particles float about in it, your kidnevs are diseased, and FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURE should be taken at once. G. B. Burhans Testifies After Four Years. G. B. Burhans of Carlisle Center, N. Y., writes: "About four years ago I wrote you stating that I had been entirely cured of a severe kidney trouble by taking less than two bottles of Foley's Kidney Cure. It entirely stopped the brick-dust sediment and pain and symptoms of kidney disease dissppeared. I am glad to say that I have never had a return of any of those symptoms during lb; four years that have elapsed, and f am evidently cured to stay cured, and heartily recommeud Foley's Kidney Cure to any one suffering from sianey or bladder irouoie.
