OUTING SHOES.
It long ago seemed as though
shoes could never be better and
never be cheaper , but they are
better now and cheaper now than
they ever were before. The great
every day favorite is our men's
and ladies' shoe. It is as much a
boon to the pocketboolc as it is to
the feet. It won't wear ydu out
to wear it out. You don't need to
take care of it ; it takes care of
itself. It will give you solid com
fort for the simple reason that a
better shoe for knockabout pur
poses has never been produced.
If prices never appealed to you
before , the price of this shoe will ,
for it costs only $2.50. It will
look nicer and wear longer than
any shoe on earth.

The horseshoe superstition is very
old. The ancients believed that iron ,
as a metal , had unknown powers , and
would drive nails into the walls to
keep off pestilence. It has always been
thought uncommonly lucky to find a
piece of metal , and as horseshoes were
the form in which it was most frequent
ly found , the superstitious regard came
to be transferred from the. material to
the shape.

Master Shed Huddleston had the
misfortune to fall down into the area
way in front of the First National
tank building , a few days since , cut-
ing a bad gash in his head , which the
urgeon had to sew up. He is doing
very nicely , however , and will soon be

his bump of caution has doubtless been
somewhat enlarged by his recent mis
hap.
The grip is already making its ap

even more difficult to fight. Medical
science seems to be helpless upon the
approach of this perplexing and annoy
ing disease.

It will interest many people to know
that the sunflower , which grows more
reely and naturally than any other
plant in this part of the west , is pos
sessed of some qualities of practical
value. In Russia , where the sunflower
s much cultivated , its seeds are made
o yield a palatable oil for culinary
mrposes and the residuum is used as
odder for cattle. For the latter pur-
tose it is in great demand in Great
Jritain , Denmark , Germany and Swed-
n. The plant is cultivated on a com
mercial basis in Russia and has been
f ty years. It is a common product of
be whole and southeastern Russia and
ts cultivation is becoming very com
mon. One advantage of sunflower cul-
ure is that it does not exhaust the
oil. No doubt corn is more profitable
n Nebraska , but perhaps a thrifty
arnnr might get some thing out of
be sunflowers that grow in rank lux-
nriance upon his waste land.

long as the vapor rises in a cloud. At
your ease drink the pure liquor , which
will chase away the five causes of
trouble. "
