which never contained, anything but
the regulation bottle, four hundker
chiefs and a traveling cap.
Returning one Monday to the capital,
the minister met a friend, a gentleman
named Von Fischer, who was carrying
a bag exactly the counterpart of his
excellency's valise. Baron von Fischer
amiled a thoughtful smile as he noticed
the similarity of the bags and wbis
pered to the minister: "My bag is filled
with smuggled Turkish tobacco. You
will be good enough to shield me
against the custom house spies. 1
hope."
The minister looked serious. "1 will
do nothing of the kind." be said, and
when the two gentlemen arrived at J
the Pest depot the minister beckoned
to a custom house oficlal and said.1
"My friend desires to pay duty on a
lot of Turkish tobacco he has In his j
bag."
"His excellency Is Jcklng." cried the
baron, who meanwhile bad changed
bags with the minister. "See, I have
no contraband articles about me," and
be opened the bag in proof of what he
eald.
The minister of fins nee looked per

grabbed his friend's ba ? and said to the
official: "Well, assess me for the to
bacco, but be quick about it 1 have
no time to lose." The official acted od ;

Quite English.
George Broadhurst tells of an English
shopkeeper, the soul of amiability
"You are an American, sir. are you
not?" he asked. "Yes." said Mr
Broadhurst to save lengthy explana- j
tions. "Now. 1 have a conundrum that1
1 always save for the Americans, be
cause they say they are so deuced
clever. When you put a billiard ball
on the table, what is the first thing it
does?" "Why. I don't know," said,
Mr. Broadhurst uncertainly. "Perhaps
It waits for its cue." "Ah. that's very
clever, very clever." countered the lit-!
tie Englishman, "but not so good as
the real answer. The first thing it does
is to look round."
Unintentional Frankness.
The eldest sons of British peers bear i

three and can spare an inferior one to

has a keen sense of humor and
can enjoy a Joke on himself. He likes |
to tell the following:
Before succeeding to the earldom he
was known us Lord Tumour, under
which name he figured in some noisy
, scenes in the house. A few months
after his father's death he was thus ad
at- Hinnor hr n fellnw Cliest:
"I ought to know you, but I can't re
call your name."
"Oh. I am Earl Wlnr.erton," was the
reply.
"Of course, of course," said the other.
"Why, I have been confounding you

A High Authority.
Curran, the famous Irish advocate,
was one day engaged In a case In
which he bad as Junior a remarkably
tall and slender barrister who had
originally Intended to take holy orders.

the church, though in my opinion he
was fitter for the steeple!"
Ben Butler's Retort.
An old lawyer in speaking about Gen-.
eral Hen Butler 6aid: "Ben Butler was

On one occasion Judge Sanger, having
been bullied and badgered out of ail
patience, petulantly asked. 'What does
the counsel suppose I am on this bench
for?" Scratching his head a minute,
Butter replied. 'Well, 1 confess your
honor's got me there.'"

Shoes and other lines.
Barker Brown's Famous line ol Work Shoes
is known by scores and hundreds of men who
have bought them from us during the past
three years and they all will tell you there is
nothing on the market that will come up to
the Barker Brown Shoe for the same money.
We have this famous line of Barker Brown
Work Shoes in all sizes from 6 to 11 at $3.00
and $3.00 the pair. Start the New Year right
by coming and getting a pair of these heavy
work shoes and you will not need another
pair until 1914. That's big talk, but all we
ask?vou is to try them.
In addition to the above described work
shoes we have the famous Craddock-Terry's
Long Wear Shoes in stock for both men and
ladies, in both high and low cuts. This line
of shoes is so well known to the trade that it
is useless for us to say more than that we
have a full stock of them on hand.
