Shoemakitig.
The careful and painstaking maker of good footwear
insists that the lasts over which each shoe is modeled, remain
in it long enough to thoroughly set the shoe to its shape; to
"season" it, one might say.
By so doing, the original shape is retained much longer
in the wearing.
Our orders for each season's styles are given early enough
to allow the necessary time for this seasoning. Careful fit
ting added to proper construction insures slide satisfaction.

A Daylight Theft.
What seems to have been quite
a daring theft occurred at the Be
sack residence Monday afternoon.
The only occupants of the house
at the time it must have taken
place were Mrs. Besack and her
sister, who has been ill. They
were both lying down and heard
no one enter the house. The first
inkling of a theft occurred when
Mrs. Besack went to a bureau
drawer where she keeps her money
to get some and tound that the
pockctbooks had been rifled of
their contents, She then began to
look around and discovered that
the front door was ajar and that, a
nockctbook which had been in the
drawer with the others was lying
on the lloor with its contents gone
The thief probably got eighteen
dollars as that 'is the amount
Mrs. Besack thinks was in the
pocketbooks. She is unable to
give any description of the money.
