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 pocketbook as it is to the feet. It won’t wear you 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 February number of liomance opens the third year of this magazine of complete stories, which has been making rapid strides in puolic favor of late. The remarkable series of “Special Numbers," which was begun last Sep tember, became popular at once, and the development of the novel idea has been watched with growing interest, as the story-writers of one nation after another are thus presented to the American public. The present issue a “Special English Number,” offers a striking contrast to its immediate pre decessor, which was more than half composed ot tales from the Spanish. It contains specimens of the best work of such well known contemporary writ ers as James Payn, Walter Besant, Conan Doyle and F. Anstey; while se lections from Miss Mitford, Captain Mairyatt and Wilkie Collins reveal the spirit of earlier generations. There are also a special Valentine story by Mary E. Wilkins, brilliant French tales by Guy de Maupassant, Jacques Normand and Ferdinand Fleury, and an original sbetch of Western life by Ed Towse. This magazine is issued by liomance Publishing Company, Clinton Hall, Astor Place, New York, at 25 cents a copy; subscriptions $3.50 per year. Marvelously Cheap.

A Culbertson woman w*nt to bed with gum in her mouth. She awoke in the morning with a dead mouse be tween her teeth. The woman had gone to sleep with her mouth open and the mouse, attracted by the gum, stuck his head in to secure it, when tho jaws must have come together like a steel trap. Terrible jaw! Fond Hanging by the Neck. There are sights that appeal the heart—sights from which strong men are compelled to turn their gaze sick ened with the contemplation. Such was the soene that met the eyes of some of the people of McCook, on Thursday morning, when a young and beautiful girl was found hanging by the neck. That a girl young, beautiful, accomplished—with nothing to wish for, should commit such a rash deed, is almost beyond be lief. Imagine the sight of her, hang ing with staring eyes, her dark hair streaming in long, loose coils over hei shoulders, her delicate fingers tightly clenched, every feature marking the ordeal she had passed through! And then think what must have been the feelings of her doting father,.her loving mother, and the dear brothers and sis ters, as they were compelled to gaze upon such a scene! No explanation could be found that could account for the suddenly formed purpose. On the day before, she was even gayer than usual, and her gayoty* was remarked by the young companions, who little dreamed of the situation sht would be found in next morning. On Wednesday evening she played, sang, chatted with her young friends in the highest spirits; and about eight o’clock accompanied by the young gentleman tc whom she was engaged, went out to call on some acquaintances, where her unusual brightness wa3 also noticed And to think, that on the very next morning, the whole community should be shocked by tho announcement that she was found hanging —yes, hanging —from Harry’s neck, as she bade him good-bye, before starting out on his trip east.
