HARD ON NERVES|
squeaky Shoes One of Mankind's
Greatest Afflictions.
Only Way to Bo "Dead Safe," It
Would Seem, lo to Wear Pair
of Rubber Boots.
The only way to be certain that yon
will not some day find yourself walking
through' some still and echoing church
or hull in a pair of squeak) shoes is
never to go' anywhere except in a pair
of rubber boots* There Is no sure way
to cure a pair of shoes of squeuklng except
one?by giving them away to the
man who tends the furnace.
A shoemaker can take a pair of
squeaky shoes apart and put them together
again until he Is blue In the
face, but if that squeak Isn't ready to
go It won't go.
But you can give those shoes to the
furnace man and he can sit down and
pnt them on and rise and walk away
and make no more noise than If he
were wuiKing in m? hocks.
Sometimes squeaky shoes are cured
by other means than furnace men, hut
not often, and the process in that case
is pretty wearing on the nerves, observes
a writer for the New York Sun.
A man once bought a pair of $15
shoes. lie said that he would try highpriced
shoes for once in his life and
see If they would last long enough to
be worth It. Re put them on one Sunday
morning and went to church, and
he was a little late and was forced to
walk to his seat, through the comparative
quiet of the minister's opening
exhortation. And right at that point
those shoea began to let out noises that
were worse than a guinea hen going
somewhere in a hurry, and the minister
might as well have been talking on his
hands for all the congregation could
hear of what be had to say.
Next day that man returned his
ahoes to the place be bought them and
told the shopkeeper what he thought
about them, which was Interesting.
The shopkeeper sent them to the factory
and had them fixed. Next Sunday
the man again wore them to church,
and again they were still as death up
to the exact moment of his entering the
church, when they took In a eounJe of
deep breaths. as you might say. an?l began
to yell like human beings In distress.
This time the choir was singing
the opening hymn, and those squawk-1
ir.g shoes half-way d'-owned the singers j
out and threw n dozen of them out of
key. and the leader had to slop the
singing and start ail over again.
And in the midst of such excitement
as hadn't horn seen hi that church for
forty years the owner of those shoes
squeaked halfway down to his pew.
turned around and squeaked hack out
into the street again, and went to the
house of the shoe salesman, and walked
tn without knocking, but did Mr. knocking
afterward, when the salesman came
In from the kitchen to find out what
was the matter.
The indignant customer walked
across the room. He turned around
and walked hack again. Not a sound
Those shoes never made a squeak.
Thov never made another squeak as
long as he wore them, which was fourteen
months and a half.
IndoChina.
Both Chinese and Malays in TndoChina
had reached a high stage of civ- ;
llization before the arrival of tho '
Fn*n."h and have preserved language. '
literature and religion almost exactly
ns they existed before Klini Pink- em
peror of Annan, astonished Europe by I
his education when he oaum to visit
Pcnn.ee Is* smiuver.
Commerce flourishes In lndo-Ohina. ;
Gotten and rice are exported in large
Quantities to Plena nn?l Japan. Rail- '
ways exist on an extensive seale. Saigon
In PoehIn-China has become one of
the big ports of the French empire,
boasting of docks, wharves, European
buildings and tlrst class hotels. Lord
NorthciliYe. when h?? visited the city
shortly before his death, was loud In
his praise of the French administration.
v
British Eioctrlc Ships.
Three vessels of a very unusual
character are shortly to be built In a
British ship building yard. Each will
be about 4.000 tons and especially designed
for the fruit carrying trade.
They will be fitted with oil engines of
a special type designed In this particular
yard and recently tested under
ocean-going conditions with most satisfactory
results. These engines will
drive electric generators which will
apply current to electric motors
placed on short propeller shafts at the
stern of the vessel. This arrangement
will give greatly Increased space for
^ cargo and Is expected to result In a
Crtnclilpr'1 HI o liDcinar I n fnol
tlon. besides giving great flexibility of
control.
i
American Samoa.
American Samoa, composed of the
Inlands of Tuituila. Annun. OJu and
Tain. Is 4.160 miles from Snn Francisco,
2^63 miles from Hawaii, 1,580
miles from Auckland, and 4,200 miles
from Manila. The natives can all
read and write and are all Christians
of different denominations. They are
the highest type of the Polynesian
race, and are greatly on the Increase,
due to laws forbidding foreigners
buying their land.
