TAN OXFORDS
The phenomenal and sudden demand for
Tan Oxfords which has sprung up so sud
denly through the east and west caught
many manufacturers unprepared to serve
their customers. This demand does not ex
ist in New York alone, but prevails through
out the larger cities of both east and west.
Golden Brown is the color.
We have them in stock.

LET THK KtD GO BAREFOOT
Spring has arrived. We know it for
several reatooi. Ureen peas are Id
the market. Bprlng bonnets are in
vldvnoe. The ioe cream signs are
plentiful and everybody is taklui
"tenlo" for that mo down feelloa
that 'we all have in the Spring es
pecial ly if we have a hard task before
oi. The Spring time is when the
kid should enjoy himself. Tbe kid is
any boy or girl tinder twelve yean of
age. Over that, they think that they
are grown folks and begin to have
notions. Well, to properly enjoy
Spring time the kid should go bare
foot. It Is the natural thing to do
and it gives the foot chanoe to be
come natural. A Chicago foet is all
right and the possmwor need net be
hawed of it. Uitrillcattoo is doing
the Ik lit it can to cnnh out the
uatural life and tut op au artificial
ataudard but there is no need of mak
ing the children suffer before their
time. Just think what a gloomy
I'hlMhood it will be for a boy to look
back on wheu he can never recollect
digging his toes into the soft sand or
wadding op and down some small
creek balding dams and Retting
gloriously wot and umd 'cwRpnttered
from head to foot. A boy has never
been a boy who has not tiuracd a sore
toe. Iljiittkwt hi in realise tliut there
are troubles in this life for everybody.
Then there is the excruciating joy of
having a stone bruise. Thank good
Hens a WMmnllr ever has more than
oue or two. The unnll girl Iihm to be
more aulidued in lit r Spring tune joys
liut she In only hnnian and it won't do
Hiiy harm to let 'her wade around a
little hit herself. It limy anve some
doctor bills wheu she gets a little bit
older. So put the kids in over I In
ami turn them out to Tgrane. They
will appreciate It and it will make
robust men and women. The old
Fourth Header nsed to have it :
"ilarefoot hoy with checks of tan,
meanings on thee, little man. "
Igraaping Jew. 'The latest troubles
are the strikes in various indostriea.
The laboring nion, goaded oo by the
increased rate of living, have been
trying to raise their wages. Violence
has naturally followed and the city is
in a turmoil. These conatantly recur
ring quarrels between the corporation
aand their employee is putting a wire
w1irn fin tlm fnelinrfl nf thji nnhlfrt .nil
j a radical change mi be demanded if it
keeps ou much louger. The general
public foots all the bills aud naturally
la beginning to think that it has some
rights in the premises. Tliroogh it
all the landlords are smiling and
happy, for rents have gone np
amazingly since the quake and the
owner of moat any old shack can
afford to sport au automobile High
rents have been one of tbe principal
Irrltatlug caniea iu promoting strikes
of the laboring man.
TRAIN WRECKS.
It may be almost considered de
batable question whether civilization
pays. The price of fdeath and blood
that modern railroad transportation
demands in return for speed it eoough
to make one vote ;in the negative on
the question. The latest "horror"
in Southern California Is typical of
American Railroad wrecks: Splin
tered cars; scalding steam and
homed aud mangled human bodies
beaten aud scalded into unreoognl
able olay.
The old primitive method of
crossing the plains with oi team was
counted ono of danger and trial.
There was the danger of Indians, but
it may be submitted that there Is
not much choice In being burned at
the stake and in baring one's scalp
lifted by blood thirsty Apaches or in
being roasted in a Pullman car and
scalded by the steam pipes. After
calmly considering the proposition
the moat of people would prefer to
risk the Iudiaus rather than the
team. There was always a show for
one to get out and put up a good fight
when it oainn to the Apaches, but man
lmn no show iu a etrngglu with a
modern express traiu .wheu it gets off
the raila and out of its beaten
palh.
These couditiona are all brought
about by an insane desire for speed
and lile itnclf inuHt be sacrificed by
the the American desire to "get
there."
The Portland Telegram has it that
it ia Senator llourne's ambition to
remain Senator from Oregon for the
rem of bin natural life. That means
that at every election the United
State l'oat Oftloe Department will
have to get out a special stamp issue,
for the Senator ia a great hand to oe
the mm In for campaign purposes.
