Bins Containing Thousands of Odd Pieces of Footgear Arranged In "Rights” and "Lefts" Are Found In Cellars --Are_ Mostly Drawn From Bankrupt Stocks and Travelers' Samples --Matching Shoes. Where do one -legged people buy then boots( The mystery- is not in- soluble. As a fact, many Lhuu•ands of the great army purchase their foot- wear at a certain shop in one of Lon- don's byways which which is aaw wlpi k caters fortheknown to cripples living tiall me of theL land, laiid, as well asinso col - canes. Here a curious business is done in shop, single boots. Beneath the theusandin the cellar, are many' steppers. Bina of odd boots. shoes. and are chock full of every kind of toot - wear, from ward -shoes mid dancing pumps to navvies' ponderous, hob- nailed earth -crushers and the rubber bouts worn by sewernlen, from Tiny Tops "firsts" to the giant's No. le's. There are football boots. cycling shoes, tennis shot -a; elastic side,Blu- chez. and Wellington boots; 1 a all the colors, materials. an sizes in the trade. And yet there s tOf a par together anywhere. These can- not elves above befound ubins even vHere on the the (usual lines of cardboard boxes, each of which apparently contains a pair of boots, ready to be taken away by a customer; but. though there are two boots in it. they are both either "lette" or "rights ' of the same sire.

"Among our customers," "are some vibe have d the manager, come here, regularly for twenty of thirty years; because by dealing with us they save money. We can supply a single boot for a man at as low as eighteenpence, Now, you go to an ordinary shop. and you'll have to pay as much. or very nearly as much, for one boot as for a pair. So ouatomers have &.tusk to us from the time when they wanted ehttdren r eieee to a•w. that they want adults'.

Many are ultimately worn by those with - the normal number of nether titian. It is a daily occur- rence for a person to turn up .with a boot or shoe and require it to be matched, because, the other has been loot or accidentally destroyed. Some- timee the customer, in taking home a pair of new boots, has lost one of them. At others a boot has been lost during a removal. or, having been put to dry too near the kitchen fire, has been partly incinerated. Every mother knows, again, how adept chil- dren are at kicking off a shoe, which disappears forthwith. So there is • steady demand for single boote and shoes merely to rept those which have been lost or destyVyai and to make of service such as a in hand. Thousands of pairs are,\however, made up of boots which are,`tetrietly, odd. One may be a "6" and the oth- er a '1," one unlined and the Other lined. one brown and the other black. And great is the rush for these more or less disaimilar couples..

"I had to resort to a queer ruse onoe to get an admission from a man i was after," sald a private detective. There had been some trouble at $ club between two young men. One threw a glass .1 wine into the other's face. The other dad not rewent the insult as he should have done. When his father heard of it he threatened t t disinherit his son unless he- whip._ ped the man who had thrown the wine in his face. The father was a member of the same drib. and he made a wager of a wine supper that his eon could and would whip tho other fellow. Soon 'atter this the son met the man him.. (ad Thee fightsd him occur - and whipped red on a prominent street. and, as two of the young man's friends were with him at the time there was talk et an action against them and his father for conspiracy. ' Our agency was retained to get the evidence needed. "It was decided _that it would be necessary to get an admission from the father of the .young man who had made the assault. was taold to get it.

An extraordinary -looking dwelling is to be seen at Algeria, near Bilbao, in the north Of Speen, and is called "Celia Harm". or "house boat," be- ing built to resemble a steamships bndge. It was probably erected by to retired sea captain who felt like a fish out of water until he had pre vel-' e'I for himself the same environment to which he had been used during his' active -career :at sea.

Grammar and the Lord's Prayer. A party of gentlemen were disctsd ing literary subjecta when one asked another to point out the grammatical blunder in the Lord's Prayer. Half a dozen tried. Some thought it lay in the words "which art in heaven"; oth- ers placed it elsewhere, but not one detected it in the expression, "For thine is the kingdom, the power and the gloryTo be perfectly correct the word "is" should be 'are, but people have used it in the present form to long that they never think of regarding it as a hlunder. There are teachers who say eueh an expression i* right because it sounds right, but reverse it and say. "The kingdom, the power and the glory is thine," and the fault la soon perceived.
