i- Tbey sell only the best bhues made, and one pair will
! vvear longer than two pairs bought from other houses who
keep cheap stuff. Did you buy Shoes from us last winter?
If so, we ar? not talking to you, as no one could influence
you to buy from any one else; but this is to those who have
been buying shoddy Shoes from merchants who do not care
for any thing but the profits, and regardless of wear.
Just ask your neighbor about our Winter Shoes and
they will tell you about them better than we can write. It
is poor economy to buy Shoes for winter that will not
serve you ten months or one year, even if you can get
them for 15 cents a pair less. We are going to keep and
seli Shoes that wi’.I give satisfaction to every one who buys
of us. We want to sell you and your family your winter
goods and will save you money sure. Youis,

Now that the statesmen are taking pos¬
session of their old haunt* It is worth a
stranger'a time to take a ran down through
the terrace. Ha who does so will have hta
eyas opened as to the greatnens and gran¬
deur of this government of outs—its enor¬
mous ramifications, the immense variety
of its operations. The terrace is the archi¬
tectural addition mads to the capital (or
th* purpose of giving that great building
a western front. It cost tl ,350,000. In
ita design it was purely ornamental, but
It baa actually resulted In adding an enor¬
mous space to the floor area of the national
statehooae. The terrace extends along
the two ends and one whole front of the
capital, and It, therefore, 1,450 feet long.
It* average width is 40 feet. That, you
aee, makes a pretty trig bnilding of itself.
Throughout fully one-half of Its length
th* terrace la divided into committee
rooms. They have a sort of basement ap¬
pearance, but are nevertheless light and
comfortable. For yeera them has been a
tendency In both branches of congress to
give every man a committee room. This
was practically accomplished in the senate
some time ago. Not having room enough
in their end of the capital tba senators
bought a hotel across the street and con¬
verted it Into a capital annex. The sen¬
ate has 85 members at the pr esent time
and 50 committees. But every senator
who has not a committee chairmanship la
given a “room" all to himself—a place
to keep his secretary, his papers and let¬
ters. a place to entertain his Mends and a
place to anoeae.
A Close W a re .
The house ha* not quite as many com¬
mittees, but it is a close race between the
two bodies. The house Is at present only
three laps behind. Th# two bodies to¬
gether have 117 committees, and probably
180 rooms are set apart for their use, or
for the use of Individual senators and rep¬
resentative* who are not chairmen of com¬
mittees. Two-thirds of these committee*
are practically useless. They do no work.
They meet perhaps one* a year. The only
excuse for their existence 1# to afford a room
for the use of the chairman and a clerk
to look after bis private business and to
act as a sort of factotum for the other mem¬
bers of the committee. committee, Uo uo down down Into inw» the me
terrace and take a walk through It* long
corridor and id yon will see such signs a*
these on the a door; “Committee on Forest
Reservations,’' “Committee on Additional
Acommodationa For the Library of Con¬
gress,” “Committee on Woman Suf¬
frage,'’ “Committee on Corporations In the
District of Columbia," “Committee to In¬
quire Into All Claims of Citizen* of th* 5
United States Against the Government of
Nicaragua,” “Committee on Revolution¬
ary Claims," “Committee on Ventilation

gate Condition of Potomac River Front of
Washington," “Committee on the -Five
Cirillzed Tribes of Indians," “Committee
to Establish the University of the United
States," and “Cummttoee ou Disposition

ments." It is a great place for committees
and for snug committee rooms fitted out
with desks, 1 uxurious lounges, typewriters.

The society reporters of tbs capital are
preparing for their winter campaign. In
Washington the society reportyr I* an im¬
portant personage. She—for with on* or
two exception* the society writers are all
women—are now busy ascertaining what
the plan# of the social leaders are. They
run about from Mr*. Secretary This to
Mrs. Senator That and Mrs. Representa¬
tive T’other to find out whether they are
going to cat a dash this winter or remain
passive. It is the business of the society
writer to get acquainted with all the new
women of importance and to make snre of
having invitation* to all reception* anil
teas. As a rule one society writer serves
five or six newspapers on the syndicate
pian, and if ahe la bright and industrious
makes a good deal of money during the
short but sharp social campaign. Some
of the society writers here enjoy incomes
which enable them to maintain not only
their own houlee, but horses and car¬
riages, and in one or two instances a liv¬
eried coachman. As soon as a society re¬
porter reaches the dignity of a private car¬
riage her fortune is mode. She is invited
everywhere, and is put in possession of
the latest bit* of news and gossip almost
without effort on her part. Nothing suc¬
ceeds like success.

One of the brightest members of con¬
gress, Mr. Durborowof Chicago, waa talk¬
ing to your correspondent about the won¬
derful influence wielded by the press in
this country. He said: “The newspaper
press now controls the country. It is by
long odds the most powerful engine in our
civilisation. In my opinion it will grow
more and mure Influential. Public speak
era are losing their power. The press mo¬
nopolizes all methods of communication
with the minds of the people. Party line*
are not drawn as tightly now a* they were
10 years ago. Ten years hence the ties of
party will find fewer men than at the pres¬
ent time. The independent vote, the class
of citizens who think for themselves in¬
stead of following some organization or
leader, is constantly growing. This tends
to increase the power of the pres*. As the
press gather* influence and become* almost
omnipotent the men who make newspa¬
pers should have keener and keener reali¬
zation of their responsibility. They are
the men who rale the country, not con¬
gress, and they should take good care to
rale it well and Intelligently, It gore with¬
out saying that the profession of journal¬

Senator Palmer of Hlinois, the second
oldest man in the senate, is noted for his

remarks by stories from th* farm and from

for bis laziness, who neglect* hi* private

them. A vein of commiseration ran through
■P of They were who from affected married friends, her
oourae—women to pity
she had no family to surround her
board on feast day*.
Really Miss Domingo did not look liks a
pitiable creature as she sat there In a
dainty tea gown in her artistically fur¬
nished apartments. And very significant
ware the smiles that came aad went on her
still handsome face. Her thoughts ran
along somewhat like this:
“Here’s one from Annie, bless bar mis¬
guided heart! Sbs feels sorry for ms be¬
cause I haven't had as much misery as she
ha* had, 1 though sh* calls doesn’t ‘domestic call U by bliss,’ that

No, Annie, 1 most decline your in citation
to dine with yon on Thanksgiving. Hot

“And yon, too, Helen, must have a polite
