TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT, NOVEMBER 26, 1008. LIES ABOUT THE FEET. A Shoe Clark's Comment, on Hi. Cut- tomor.* Peculiarities. i I “1 don't Bee why people always lie ■bout their feet." Bald the shoe clerk as bls customer departed after giving him ■ bad half hour. "! don't mean on the size of their foot, for It's only natural to wish to have, or, rather, to make other people think you have, small feet. But why a great, burly man with his feet nubby with bunions should Insist that his shoes never trouble hln> and that be never has any trouble in get ting a fit Is beyond me. Why. If I put an ordinary shoe on such a man he would cusa with pain, and be know» It He knows also that I have to bunt around until I find some freak shoe that will fit bls misshapen old foot, but all the time he declares that he never has bunions or corns like most people Women who seem to be sensible enough In all other ways come In here and declare that they do not know what a corn Is, when they wince with pain every time I touch their little toe When they are forced to declare that the shoe hurts In one spot or another they insist it Is because their feet have a shape peculiarly their own. Some times they will admit they have a ‘lit tie calloused place.' but a corn. oh. dear no! Sometimes In a thin, lightweight shoe 1 csn fairly see the corns bunch Ing out under the leather, but I have to say diplomatically that the fit la ‘not good,’ or that the customer has a 'pe culiarly sensitive foot,’ or some other nonsense.

American literature Is replete with the praise of pie. and Harriet Beecher Stowe says. "The pie Is an English Institution, which, planted In Amer lean soil, forthwith ran rampant and burst forth Into Hn untold variety of genera and species." The average American echoes, "Let It run." He has the same desire that possessed Simple Simon of Mother Goose fame when he met the pie man. But Moth er Goose flourished before the pie reached the acme of Its glory. The most famous pie of which she wrote was a meat pie. for she said: flinc » song of sixpence, pocket full of rye; Four and twenty blackbird, baked tn a pie When the pie was opened the bird, began to .Ing. Wasn't that a dainty dish to set before a king? A pie containing live blackbirds sounds like a fairy tale, but It Is not. as a Venetian publisher of a cookbook printed in 15119 gave a recipe for mak ing pies “that the birds may be alive In them and fly out when It Is cut up." The gay revelers who sat down before ■uch a dish may have thought that the very pinnacle of culinary art had been obtained, hut the pumpkin affords gas tronomlc delights to every American citizen beside which blackbird pies, ortolan pies, lombard plea or battalia pies are and of right ought to be back numbers.—Washington Star. A Tart Retort. A good story Is told of a prominent society woman at Newport whose name cannot for obvious reasons be given here. It appears that an extremely wealthy matron who has not always enjoyed ner present social pre-eminence was making certain supercilious references as to a young girl who bad been pre sented by the lady first mentioned. "By the way." languidly asked the wealthy matron, "who la your friend Miss Blank?" "Miss Blank Is a charming girl," was the smiling response, “well bred, as you see. accomplished, entertaining." “Oh. yea, of course.” continued the other, “but. my dear Mrs. So-and-so, you know what I mean—who la she?" "My dear woman." retorted the first lady. "I can no more tell you who Miss Blank Is than I could have Informed those who asked me who you were when you first came to Newport.”— St. Paul Pioneer Press. Pompeii and Herculaneum. Pompeii was burled In ashes and was easily disinterred, while Herculaneum received the full force of the crimson lava, which hardened rapidly to the consistency of marble and must be quarried In order to reach the city be neath. Owing to this difficulty only a small amount of excavating has been dons In Herculaneum as compared with that which has taken place at Pompeii. In addition, another town sprang up on the lava above Hercu laneum. which would have been en dangered by the undermining neces sary to exploration with pick and shovel.—New York American. About Duo. A country woman residing near the town of Sligo, thinking her husband was rather late tn coming home on Saturday with hla pay. went to the police office to Inquire If ho was there. "Is Pat here?" she asked. "No." replied the constable, "but sit down. We're expecting him every min ute. *—London Opinion. Hire on Expert.

The scholars in one of the Fuchow Chinese schools were recently desired to write au essay In English on the subject of “Which Are the Healthier, Chinese or Foreign Dwelling Houses?" One young man “spook” about the matter with hla “friends," and they said that the “Chinese building is much better than foreigners." This, he adds, was the "senses of their de bate:” “The foreign building Is too heigh and coverless and always built on the top of the hill. In the summer time It receives the moat heat from the sun. The people who living In It Is the same as putting In the stove, but In winter It is fully filled by the sharp air which cut the faces of whom living In It.
