The best way to keep black leather shoes from looking worn, and also from breaking, is to dip a small flan nel rag In olivo oil and rub It Into the leather; If It needs further rub bing or wiping, ta!;e a fresh, dry flannel rag and go over It. This method Is good for the woman In mourning, as It keeps her footwear black without polishing It, and provides a dulled finish.

County Associations Being Formed for the Discussion of Rural High way Improvement. The present-day activities of bank ers' associations in the cause of voca tional education and highway improve ment will bear rich fruit in results. Occasionally this work awakens a dis cordant note, resentful of effort in be half of the farmer, but right-minded farmers value such aid. The Illinois State Bankers' association has be stirred itself vigorously in both fields, and laid plans which will work re sults. County bankers' associations aro being formed throughout the state, and both rural education and highway Improvement will be discussed before these associations in a way that will set forth the problem and the best means of approaching it locally. Highway improvement means the expenditure of money, and road com missioners will listen to the counsel of baaikers on this subject with willing ear. In order to counsel wisely the local banker must be informed, and a thorough discussion of good roads and the specific problems that confront ach community, will qualify the ban ker to reason with the road conamls- sioner. From personal work of this character the most boneflcial action is certain to ensue. Bankers who approach this problem intelligently will urge on the commis sioners the use of the road roller and road drag in building and maintaining highways. The financial argument can be effectively brought to bear, as more money can bo saved In road building and maintenance by tho use of the roller and drag than in any oth er way. Their use works a real econ omy. When taxpayers come to under stand how much more durable either a dirt or gravel road may bo made by use of the steam roller, and how much more cheaply it may be kept in repair by a road drag, they will demand that Investments be made In these imple ments. Tho old-fashioned way of dumping lose gravel or crushed stone on a country road and calling It a Job is a childish procedure in the light of modern methods. Breeder's Gazette. mm I'M Tale of Treasure Trove; Hans Sure Was a Bird "Goodby, papa," she cried, and waved to Herr Leupp. "Goodby, papa," repeated Hans, who talks English with a slight German ac cent. As they were about to cast off the stern line, Frau Anna got mixed in her gesticulations. Her right hand was raised to her eyes to dash the tears away. She forgot that she held the parrot, and disengaged her left hand from the cage to help her right hand out With fluttering feathers and indignant screams Hans went tumbling to the dock in his gilded cage. "Donner and blitzen!" yelled the en raged bird. Two longshoremen put a pole through the ring in the top of the cage and hoisted it to a porthole. Just as somebody was about to drag the cage through the porthole the cage slipped and down came the bird to the longshoremen. "You tam fools," roared Hans. "Don ner und blitzen!" A roDe was thrown from the ship, a knot was passed through the ring of EW YORK. Here is a tale of treas ure trove. Not the treasure trove of pirates bold, but a yarn of the sea, Just the same. The good ship Cincinnati set sail at one o'clock the .other afternoon from her pier at Hoboken. On the second class deck at the rail stood a comely German woman. She was Mrs. Anna Luepp of Wllkesbarro, Pa. On the dock stood Rudolph, her husband. Fifteen years ago they came to this country, and by their thrift and industry amassed a snug in come, and now the wife was returning for a visit to the home of her girlhood. Their happy union had not been bless ed with any branches of the family tree. ' Longing for prattling babes at the hearth, they compromised on the adoption of a green parrot. They called the big bird Hans, and that he is a bird, all right, all right, you shall see. Mrs. Anna couldn't think of part ing with Hans, so it was decid ed that she would take Hans across tho sea. As she stood at the rail, a wet handkerchief in her right hand, she swung Hans over the rail in a newly gilded cage. mJJ so fa bravely ofTh one d&v $i)4 whe4 he w S . "7 " Mr vheve she vAt M.

(Hy C.rtrcoon II. CT.ITZKE, Kansas.) Tho value of crimson clover sown in a corn field after tho last cultlva tlon is not known to the average farmor as it should bo. This Is a legumo that is very valu able both as a crop for grazing and its power of depositing a rich supply of nitrogen in tho ground, which will Increase to a great extent tho yield of tho crop that follows it. As crimson clover is a winter va riety, it can be sown in the corn field after tho last cultivating and even as lato In the fall as August and Sep-. tember. It will mako quick growth and will not Injure the corn by drawing nutrl merits from tho soil that tho corn should have, ns tho corn is practically matured before the clover starts to uso tho plant food from tho ground to any extent worth speaking of. and almost from the start It begins to deposit nitrogen in tho soil, thus returning more plant food to tho soil than It takes therefrom. It will also keep the lato crop of weeds down. These late weeds usual ly do a great deal of harm by drain ing on the soil without returning any thing to it nnd also by scattering a need supply of seed which will mako much work nnd trouble tho following year. Why not sow broadcast from 12 to 15 pounds of crimson clover seed per aero over tho Held and prevent this growth of weed nnd reap a great benefit from the clovor. After tho corn Is husked in tho fall tho clover will produco a wealth of grazing for tho stock as they aro clearing the corn field. It will make them slick nnd fat, nnd If tho dairy herd can get this treat tho returns In the milk pall will more than repay the venture. It will also furnish good grazing In tho early spring up to the time when It is turned under. Pop Bottle Answers to DETROIT, MICH. To Inculcate mu sic into unresponsive souls of some of the folks of Cork town Is a thank less, if not hopeless task, as Louis Fuchs, who plays the bass fiddle in the German band experienced the oth er night. There ho was, and his four fellow artists poured forth their sweetest strains at Sixth and Abbott streets. With dreamy eyes Fuchs had Just finished !he intricate movements of Mascagnl's Immortal Intermezzo and had with ecstatic mien gone into the depths of Beethoven's divine Moon light Sonata, when shouts of deri sion unnerved his aesthetio ear. Even that brilliant little musical gem, un, xou ueauuiui uou, wmcn is said to have moved Mozart to tears even in his grave, struck an unresponsive chord in that unmu sical crowd. And when the little fellow with the second fiddle passed the hat, he col lected Jeers Instead of shekels. Truly, the lot of a wandering min strel is a thankless one in this twen tieth century. The orchestra moved away, seeking more congenial audiences. Just then somebody hurled a pop bottlo. It struck I-ouls Fuchs' bass violin in its vital part, smashing it in tho region of the bridge. "Oh, You Beautiful Doll" There was an uproar in a minute. Orpheus soothed and tamed the wild beasts with his lyre, but to calm this crowd with even a hand organ was quite impossible. And so the street artists beat a hasty retreat. Later on, by a little detective work, Fuchs learned that Charles Mery, 178 Abobtt street, had smashed his instrument, and the next morning he appeared in the police court to get a warrant for malicious injury to property. In the meantime Mery's friends got busy and fell upon one E. P. Cor bett, politician, who draws double pay from the city, being a water board employe and a member of the present jury panel of the recorder's court, to bring harmony into this note of musical discord. Ho offered to pay for the repairs of Fuchs' instrument and all other reasonable expenses. Justice Stein advised the street art ist to accept the offered settlement. oeiore a stops spinning, ir ne suc ceeds, he takes the place in the cen ter, and the first truckler goes in the ring. If he does not catch the plate between both hands before it stops spinning he pays a forfeit and Is counted out. Then there is the play of 'Twos and threes." The company is grouped in twos and threes, usually only one odd one, and the fun consists in not being caught as the third. This keeps each child looking over her shoulder, tor when two are behind the fore most must slip away and find another place to be tapped. After a stand-up game, a rather Tunny game, where all the company may sit, is to have one person chosen to call and the rest to repeat: One ?ood fat hen; two ducks; three plump partridges; four squawking wild Seese; five felicitous oysters; six pairs of Roman-striped hose: seven thousand Spanish soldiers; , eight :ages of Heliogabulus paroquets; nine jympathetic, apathetic, didactic, prop isltlons; eleven superstitious astrono mers viewing Venus in Venice; twelve European dancing masters teaching Egyptian mummies to dance at Her- Jules' wedding. If any one laughs n the course of this he must pay a 'orfeit. The one who repeats most imoothly and solemnly must be the sailer out and begin gibberish over igaln.

Hamilton park, one the prettiest public playgrounds on tho extrcmo south side, claims among Its other attractions a model police man, ills namo Is John Yonker, and all tho boys and girls of that section of tho city swear by him. A pollce innn who is popular among children has a pretty good certificate of effi ciency. Although nominally a patrolman, Yonker really has half a dozen other jobs. Ho Is arbiter In chief of all the youngsters' disputes of tho neigh borhood, director general of their sports and umpire and court of last resort to their games. But the job which requires the most tact and diplomacy and which has won him his chief fame is that of official neighbor hood chaperon. Rules of tho park require that no children remain there after 9 o'clock in the evening. It Is Yonker's duty to see that this is enforced. The busi ness of getting children to go home t bed Is a delicate one, but Yonker suc ceeds at It without exciting enmity. Ltttle girls are prone to linger in the park after hours just as much as boys. If tho night is dark or rainy and the little girl lives a long way off in a lonely neighborhood. Yonker takes her home. This often keeps him working over hours, but the "model policeman" seems to do it cheerfully as part of the day's work. . There are six basoball diamonds at Hamilton park. On a Saturday after noon teams of boys are playing all day on these diamonds. Yonkers pre sides over these activities. He knows the baseball rules as well as Johnny Evers, and when a dispute arises that proves too much for the boys Yonkers settles it by the book. Incidentally, Yonker is a bureau of information. He answers a thousand questions a day. How he stands it without becoming a confirmed grouch no one knows. His good humor is perennial. However, there are occa sions when Yonker has to make it known that he is "a limb of the law." Many a "tough" boy has felt the weight of Yonker's hand and learned not only to respect it but afterward to like its owner.
