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 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.

Literary Note.
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.

A Regular Trap.
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.
