SATURDAY AT ONE DOLLAR
5,000 pairs in a single purchase; one of the biggest and most fortunate deals ever recorded in the shoe
trade. It makes possible now a sale at such an astoundingly low price that it marks a new epoch in
Western shoe merchandising. Such a sale at one dollar is one of the marvels of the day. Even the com
monest kind of a shoe costs more merely for the making. When we tell you these are really very fine
shoes, such as vici, velvet kid, velvet kid with patent vamps, etc., absolutely new and pertect and
made on this season's newest lasts and styles the offer will seem all the more surprising. A Mas
sachusets manufacturer was pressed for cash. Had to realize money quickly and took a big loss
to do it. Bennett's bought 5,000 pairs at lowest price ever paid for good shoes. Now they
are all here and the price to you is but $1.00.

REASONS FOB AMERICAN FAILURES

Separated from
Money.
Visitor lie
Uulcklr
Ilia
The beautiful Queen of the Antilles,
Cuba! Yes; an earthly paradise Indeed for
our effete rich, invalids and tourists. Its
loyal palms, coral shores, perennial spring,
balmy breezes, luscious fruits, abundant
flagrant flowers, comely senorltas make it
an Ideal winter resort. In no country can
the visitor be more skillfully and quickly
separated from his money and get a more
unique assortment of gold bricks and
tporta therefor, as he wills. Lotteries, cock
and bull fights, jal-alal and Monte Carlo
games galore are again flourishing In our
new Riviera of Latin America. Our prodi
gals will waste their substance on the An
UlJjaji siren queen, but when In want will
t.n find even the free husks to fill their
stomachs. To large capitalists alone Cuba
offers Inducements for profitable invest
ments. In 189. with the first establishment
of our provisional government and until
the overflow of tha Pal ma regime, this
country was flooded with alluring litera
ture picturing the marvelous money-making
opportunities in Cuba for Americans. The
credulous from every part of the United
States war inveigled to the island to par
take of Its numerous get-rtch-qulck
schemes. Again, now with the restoration
of the present republic the vote of the
seduotlvs Cuban land boomer and "good
thing" man is heard throughout our land.
J Bad haa been the fate of many small Amer-
ers and men of limited means attracted in '
the last ten years to this new alleged El
Lorado, a land flowing with imaginary
milk and honey.
Warning; to Farmers.
To this considerable class of Americans
contemplating going to Cuba for agricul
ture, business or labor I write from long
personal study of Cuban conditions. The
farmer of our southern states may be as
sured that in his fair southland among a
people he knows, a climate to which he Is
adapted and with assured markets, he is
far better off than he can possibly be In
venturing Into the same or any other busl
ness in Cuba. So also with the farmers in
our east, west and north. There may be
perplexities and disappointments here, but
fourfold the number await them there.
Having no personal or financial Interests
In the Island to promote, no lands there to
sell or enterprises to float, the writer Is
free to discuss without fear or favor the
losses and hardships suffered by our peo
ple who have been seeking a livelihood In
Cuba. Their experiences will be repeated
by such Americans going there now. It Is
money In the pocket of the reader contem
plating earning a living In Cuba If he heeds
the warnings of some truths here described.
The last ten years of Americans' various
ventures there demonstrate that It Is no
bonama for our breadwinners, skilled and
unskilled laborers, farmers, mechanics and
capitalists of small means seeking Invest
ment. Notwithstanding our two Interven
tions and the proximity of Cuba to the
United States, our people know little of
the totally foreign and un-American con
ditions there among its nearly 1. 000,000
people. We cannot appreciate how more
than alien, positively antipodal, are our
Cuban and Spanish neighbors but 130 miles
south of Florida's shores. Our business
and social methods and theirs are totally
different. The Turk and Oriental are as
unreconcllable to our customs as the
Cubans are. Hence our people going there
must faoe entirely strange conditions. The
Cubans and we don't think alike. Their
businesa and social usages, beliefs and de
sires are as totally at variance with ours as
the Spanish language. Is to the English.
Instead of our characteristic haste and
impetuosities, tha "Cubanas' " methods are
slow and deliberate.
Trnsta Control Staple Products.
Cuba's laws and Individuals' civil and
political rights are entirely different from
ours. The Island's productiveness cannot
be exaggerated, and therein Is the fallacy
that It offers Inducements to our poor,
struggling farmers, unemployed, and other
unfortunates. The trusts practically con
trol the growth and price of Cuba's staple
kings sugar and tobacco. The large
growers of all the Island's fruits, par
ticularly oranges, pineapples and bananas.
outside of the trusts are largely dependent
upon the disposition of the combines of
capital In the sales, particularly In the
United States, of their crops. The small
American grower finds that the local mar
ket Is abundantly supplied by native farm
ers, and he must look wholly to the ex
port trade, controlled absolutely by the
trusts. The American who lives there
some years succumbs to climatic Influ
ences. His energy gives way, Indolence,
lassitude, and often a laxity of moral
fiber result. He never becomes, strictly
speaking, a member of Cuban society, has
no part In politics or Influence In govern
mental affairs, but remains distinctively
a foreigner. He lives an alien, a life of
tropical vegetation, and gradual decay.
The American who goes to Cuba to earn a
livelihood and falls returns to his native
land never wanting to see the Island
again. Ha who stays, as a rule, taxes his
spirit of endeavor; the Insidious climate
In a few years enervates him, laziness be
comes chronic, ambition to strive for great
success, even were It attainable, is lost
True, many American have made money In
Cuba In the last ten years, but almost In
variably they were men representing large
capital in the development of railroads,
vast sugar and tobacco properties, and In
securing valuable dockage, electric lighting,
telephone, and other similar franchisee
and concessions.
Whether the Cuban republic la founded
on a rock or on the sand, whether it will
stand fir fall, does ug .ctw lute this, dis
cussion. A stable government would not
now at least, afford our American gen
erally the business opportunities there
they must have to succeed.
Failure Due to Inexperience.
Some American failures In Cuba are
due to bad Judgment and mismanagement,
Havana or other Cuban cities. He says the
people's taste in dress peculiar, wholly
States. The unwary bit at the tempting
bait, went to Cuba and started on a small
unlike that of this country, and that their j scale fruit and vegetable growing. The
simple attire Is abundantly supplied by
their fellow-Cuban merchants largely
from Kuropean Importations. In house
hold goods, general furnishings, crockery.
The majority, however, of the failures of ; Jewelry, dry goods generally, boots and
our people are owing to their ne essary ! shoes, and all American wearing apparel
Inexperience, their Inability to speak Span
lsh, and the want of profitable markets.
Many have suffered financial loss by suc
cumbing to climatic fevers and suffering
the general debility which most American
experience more or less after several years'
residence in the island. Our venturer there
Immediately encounters difficulties. He
understands no Spanish, and only the few
educated Cubans speak Knglish. He finds
the wants of the people few and simple,
their purchases comparatively small. He
at once notes a racial hostility gentrallv
to the "Americanos" which is not wholly
prejudice. Many of our "undesirable citi
zens" migrating to Cuba engage in enter
prises more or less questionable, which
usually result In merited failure. Incurring
debts, they suddenly leave the Island and
a considerable number of confiding Cuban
creditors behind. American adventurers,
promoters, confidence men, and gamblers
going there have brought discredit upon
ua as a people. Again, unfortunately, the
rudness of some American tourists greatly
shocks refined Cuban society, by contempt
uously disregarding the niceties of social
etiquette In that land of courtesies. In
fact, our people generally, through Ignor
ance of punctllllous Latin customs, uncon
sciously offend the sensitive Cuban and
Spanish nature. Consequently we have In
curred more or less a general feeling of
hostility to us as a people, which neces
sarily militates against our people in Cuba
in a business way.
The Cubans' entirely different commer
cial methods, with no inclination to profit
by or conform to ours, and prevailing Indo
lence and unreliability among the labor
ing classes are obstacles the American en
counters. He attempts to conduct his for
mer small business oa a like scale in
he finds small trade among the "Cubanos."
They seem Irreconcilably opposed to
American products and styles. They don't
welcome our attempted Innovation upon
their long-honored Spanish wares and
styles, but Invariably prefer the more
primitive products of the Kuropean mar
kets. Cuban clannishness Is keen and ex
tends to trade. The credit Bystem in
vogue, which our merchants there will not
adopt, enables Spanish merchants to re
tain the bulk of the retail trade in all
fields.
A common saying Is "Tickle the Cuban
soil with a hoe and It smiles an abundant
harvest." Yes. true; but there are many
tears for American farmers between these
smiles. At present general business stax
natlon prevails throughout the Island. The
supply of fruits and vegetables greatly
exceeds the local demand. The costly and
Insufficient means of transportation to
ports of shipment makes the export trade
comparatively profitless. The restored and
legalised ubiquitous cock fight, especially,
makes the "guajlors," or peasant laborers,
unreliable. Our people farming must de
pend alone upon them for labor. The av.
erage peasant loves his prize cock fighter
as he does his wife and children. The
constant public cock fighting and betting
attract the peasant laborers from the
fields; their entire wages are staked on
the results of the battles. The cock flgbj
knows no season, but continues the year
round. The peasants do not allow work
to Interfere with this pastime if they have
a few pesos or dollars to bet.
A number of land farming colonies of
several thousand acres each, notably In
Puerto Principe and Santa Clara provinces,
were exploited, throughout tha United
land was productive, the crops were
abundant, but there was no sufficiently
profitable local market for the product.
The experience of the majority of these
farmers has been that the export produce
broker dictates his terms and prices, which
they are compelled to accept, as a rule,
affording them an Insufficient profit.
About 30 per cent of the several thousand
American colonists who have started small
farming throughout the Island for a liveli
hood have sold helr lands at a loss and
returned sadder, but wiser, men to the
United States. Many who remain In Cuba
do so primarily for their halth. The
money making with them Is either sec
ondary or of no consequence. Be Is said
to the credit of Cubans gonerally, they are
not to blame for the misfortunes of many
Americans allured by misrepresentation to
the island. On the rontrary. the "Cubanns"
have not encouraped American Immigra
tion. The sirens whose ravishing songs
lure and financially ruin many of our
people are themselves of our own kith and
kin, and are operating In this country.
The "Cubanos" look aghast at the frauds
which dishonest Americans practice on our
people. Since ISM about 11. 000,000 of Ameri
can dollars have been dumped Into Cuba,
much of which Is Irrevocably lost, by
several thousand of our dissatisfied farm
ers, small merchants, prospectors and
limited Investors from all parts of the
United States.
There has been no Inconsiderable sale of
stocks and bond throughout the United
States Is alleged valuable Cuban coal,
timber and mineral properties. The Iron
and copper fields of Eastern Cuba are
are chlfely owned by Knglish and American
capital. Practically all the profitable lands
there are held and operated by foreign
capital. Casstlly Cook In Washington Post.

was found In the river and was that of an
unidentified man who came to his death
by causes unknown to the Jury.
"We will Investigate the case thoroughly,"
says Coroner Ileafey, "to learn the man's
identity and what caused his death."
As near as can be learned from an ex
amination of the body, the dead man was
about 3.1 years of ag". weight 190 pounds,
was hlx feet tall and wore a dark brown
beard. A front upper tuoth Is missing and
the chin Is rather pointed.
The bodv was dressed In a dark green
suit and new shoes, and a celluloid collar
was about the neck. A cheap watch, a
pocketbook containing $102, a knife and
foot rule were found In the pockets. The
man wore a black leather helt. It had been
In the water at least two weeks.
No reports of persons drowned up the
river have been received by the police or
coroner. Coroner Ileafey says he believes
death was due to downing, although the
man might have been killed first and the
body then thrown Into the river. Robbery
could not have been a motive, it Is though;,
as the watch and money were found.
