A MAN BY SOLES
OF HIS SHOES
This is The Advice of The
tial Shoe Repairer.
By Louis Ludlow.
t Take notice of his sole la.-fore you
marry him."
That is ihe sole advice of F. -Summer,
Presidential shoemaker of Washing
ton, to women who want to make
f getting* a good husband.
.Mi'. Summer who conducts a
-hop on the avenue no! iar from
White House, has repaired shoes for
Cleveland. McKinley, Roosevelt, Taft.
Wilson, Hiirding. and a host of
i.,ljinei members and diplomats.
h'in be. n repairing shoes in Washing
ton for nearly a quarter of a
and his actual experiences dining
peroid have enabled him to
i haracter by shoe leather.
Judged B.i Sole.
“The man who wears out his alio
here,” said the Presidential shoe¬
maker, pausing long enough to
the rear side of the sole, "is just nat
urally mean. Ho is always looking foi
the long end of the bargain. He is
the type will give his wife a riv.—
dollar bill uii the 2it11 1 of Febiuary,
and when the next 29th of February
rolls round ask hei what siie did with
all ihe money.
“But the man who wears out tie
soles of his shoes at the front is t
bird, believe me,” continued Air.
Hummer giving the French slippers on
which lo- was at work an extra jab
with his knife. "He’s a bird. Every
il in; that lie shouldn’t lie, that’s what
) is. The woman who marries him
draws a blank ticket in the ntatrimo
iiial lottery.
Che man who wears out his shoe
■ oh ;, in the middle is a regular fellow.
He is honest and square and will give
Ids fellotv-man. as well as liis wife,
a SiiIlf;re deal.”
Like Other .Men.
via Summer told of some of the r<
,-a.iiiig he had done for Presidents and
with admiration recalled that President
Roosevelt had a model foot—size 6 1"
or 7, he forgot which.
"But bow about the shoes of the
President.- wives?” he was asked
"Oh. Presidents are just like other
1 usbands," he replied. “They make
their old shoes do. while their wives
w< ar the new ones. I never fixed am
shoes for the ladies of the White
House, except for Alice Roosevelt, now
Mrs. Longworth. She could wear them
out as fast as her father, and had them
repaired almost as often. ’’
RAGS.
We called him "Rags.” He was just
a cur.
But twice on the Western Line.
That little old bunch of faithful fur
Had offered his life for mine.
And all that he got was bones and
Or the leavings of soldier-grub.
But he’d give his heart for a pat on
the head,
Or a friendly tickle and rub.
And Hags got home with the regi
ment,
And then, in the breaking away—c
Well, Whether they stole him. or
whether, he went,
i am not prepared to say.
But we mustered out. some to beer
and gruel
And some to sherry and shad.
And 1 went back to the Sawbones
School,
Where 1 still was an undergrad.
One day they took us budding M. D’s.
To one of those institutes
Where they demonstrate every new
disease
By means of bisected brutes.
They had one animal tacked and tied
And slit like a full-dressed fish.
With his vitals pumping away inside
As pleasant as one might wish.
i stooped to look like the rest if
course.
And the beast’s eyes levelled mine.
And his short tail thumped with a
feeble force
And he uttered a tender whine.
It was Rags, yes. Rags! Who was
martyred there.
Who was quartered and crucified.
And he whined that whine which is
doggish prayer
And he licked m.v hand—and died.
And I was no better in part nor
whole
Than the gang I was found among
And his innocent blood was on the
soul
Which he blessed with his dying
tongue.
Well! I’ve seen men go to courageous
death
In the air. on sea, on land!
But only a dog would spend his breath
in a kiss for his murderer’s hand.
And if there’s no heaven for love like
that.
For such four-legged fealty—well!
If I have any choice, I tell you flat.
I'll take my chance in hell.
I do so like to talk to you." she
said solftly in the pause of the con¬
versation. “Why??” asked the unsus¬
pecting youth. “Because.” she ans¬
wered gently—“You are all ears.”
Chero-Cola is Now
a “Twentieth Cen¬
tury Success”
Many lines of indrustry have been re¬
ferred to in the last twenty years as
the success of the new century, but
in no instance has the appellation been
mote appropriate than in the ease of
Chero-Cola, The progress of i Micro
Cola in noticeable on every hand, and
it is justly referred to as a success.
The establishment of this commodity
has been so emphatic that h is indeed
the "Twentieth Centum Sun i sr.”
The History of this institution is.
truly, an industrial romance. Chero
Cola made good from the start. From
city to city and state to state its pop¬
ularity grew until today the seven rail¬
ways leading out of Columbus spread
like a net over ihe entire Southeast
and middle western states, distributing
tins popular beverage. It has grown
from tin- favorite of a few individuals
to a! cadet in fourteen states.
chcrot'ola was formulated during
the past decade by Claud A. Hatcher,
president and General Manager of the
present million dollar company, who
was*1 hen in his early thirties, a phar
macist and wholesale grocer. The
Chero-Cola syrup is made at the fac¬
tory of ilie Chero-Cola Company at
Columbus, Ga. It is then shipped to
hundreds of Chero-Cola bottling plants
scattered throughout the country;
where 'he syrup is mixed with Garbo
nated water and bottled, forming i
very delicious beverage which has
earned for itself the slogan. "There’s
None So Good.”
The growth of Chero-Cola has been
anything but a mushroom sprouting,
its progress from the start has been
steady and consistent. Not a big spec¬
ulation scheme hacked b> unlimited
capital, but a sound business, founded
upon the soundest fundamentals of
success, which has turned its earnings
hack into the development of field and
factory and for the advancement of
advertising campaigns for its product.
From a small one story building, tlie
plant has grown until today the factory
practically covers the entire block,
with warehouses covering tile adjoin
ing block. From an original incorpo¬
ration of $75,000.00 it has steadily ad
vanned until today the investment ren
resents more than a million dollars.
Nine years ago the manufacture of
t’hero-Cola as a main line was begun,
and the first bottling plant established
for this individual purpose. The
Chero-Cola Bottling Companies are
“Main Liners,”' all specializing on this
refreshing beverage. The Chero-Cola
Company distributes its syrup only
thru plants devoted to the bottling of
specialty beverage.
The annual advertising expenditure
for Chero-Cola is more than a half
million dollars and employs practically
every known media, not the least of
which has been thp varied columns
of tlie national press. • A family house
organ, "The Chero-Cola Booster,” is
published monthly devoting every inch
of its columns, from cover to cover,
to promotion of sales and the adver¬
tising of Chero-Cola.
Every bottle of Chero-Cola is labell¬
ed with the company's distinctive four
color label, and there are enough labels
used in a year it' placed end to end to
more than circle the globe.
The Chero-Cola Company are the
only soft drink manufacturers in the
country to own, maintain and operate
a sugar refinery in connection with
their plant. This sugar refinery ena¬
bles them to approach primary mar¬
kets at times of advantage because of
being in a position to produce to re¬
quirements the refined simple syrup,
any grade of raw or refinery goes
further in the refining process than
the ordinary refinery does in producing
granulated sugar for table and domes
tic purposes; thus presenting to the
consumer both quality and service.
Over throe nundred and -twelve mil
lion hnttles of Chero-Cola are put up
annually by the many Chero-Cola hot
tling plants, and it Is estimated that
the crowns from Chero-Cola bottles in
a year would make a stack higher
than tlie Washington monument.
The living columns of the national
press display the word “Chero-Cola”
to readers over four million times an
nually, thus giving the popular bever
age from Columbus. Ga., publicity in
a manner seldom attained by market¬
ed products. All these and many sim
ilar accomplishments acclaim Chero
Cola an established institution; “The
Twentieth Century Success.”
A sweet little creature was present
at a chopin recital give by a female
celebrity. During the “Marche Fune
bre” her attention was fixed, as if the
music entranced her soul. When the
pianist finished, the gentleman with
this sweet little creature exclaimed:
How lieautiful! "To which she replied
soulfully. yes, indeed; doesn't it flit
her exquisitely in the back? How much
do you suppose it cost a yard?”
The railroads have raised their rates
until the truck is getting the business.
In other words they have “killed the
goose that laid the golden egg.”
THE COVINGTON NEWS, COVINGTON, GEORGIA,
THE LIE DETECTOR.
"When your husband comes home
rather late and tells you he had an
important busilness engagement all
you have to do is to try it on the
sphyi not nanometer.
The sphygmomanometer is an inven¬
tion by William H. Mars ton of Har¬
vard by which lie asserts a lie ran
he detected. It, works very simply,
too simpli Professor Marston says
that wha n .i prison tells a lie. especial
ly it he is under oath, there is an
emotional reaction, affecting the
breathing ami the blood pressure.
This theory is not altogether new, in
fact Dr. Hugo Munsterburg lieid the
same theor> hut he did not employ
an instrument to measure these emo¬
tional reactions.
Tin- Marston invention registers
■ -moiions of the liar. It shows inline
diately when a mail is telling a lie,
ai least its inventor says it does, lie

of justice so that judges and juries
will Know whether or not a witness
is telling the truth. If u works as
v\di a.s I’rofo iof Marston says It
does. i( « ill without doubt be of great
value.
We believe, however, that its' use
should be confined to courts. We
hope that the time will never come
when there'll lie a sphygmomanome¬
ter in every home. We have enough
of these "should/be imeveryv home i
things now . We shudder to think
that we may have to iell our
excuses to a sphyg. etc. What a lot
of trouble that would make. Yet there
is hope. Most nf us have developed •
our ly ing ability to a point where we
don’t believe a lie is ever attended bv I
any emotional reaction. Lying be¬
comes sort of mechanical like walking
oi driving an automobile, especially
home-lying.
The breathing of married men is
seldom affected by a mechanical lie.
Of course it might be. hut we do not
believe that men who used to disguise !
their breath by cloves will ever have
lo disguise it from the telltale sphyg¬
momanometer.—Ex.
