The • attempt of German crews to
destroy their interned ships in Chilean I
harbors on Tuesday night . has caused
a sensation, and a wave of indignation
has swept through Chile. The plot 1
to destroy the ships apparently was
carefully planned as crews in three
different ports acted stimultaneously,
using dynamite to destroy the ma-
chinery of their vessels. The German
steamers interned in Chilean ports
number thirty-two while the total
number of sailing vessels is fifty-seven.
The tonnage of the steamers and sail-
ing vessels aggregates 230,000

PttE FFE BCE N SHOES !!
TH E Difference between the snit of shoes we sell and
the "Other Sort" will be perfectly apparent to any-
one who compares our "GOOD SHOES" with "Just
Shoes!"
Our Better Shoes !
Our Shoes are built,up to a standard and Not Down
to a Price ! . The result is that our- shoes are more econ-
omical than uncertain Shoes.
They wear so much longer and look so much better
than "Bargain Shoes," that they are a Better. investment
Dollar for Dollar, than any shoes' which sell for less
money.
The true test of Shoe value is not the First Cost, but
the final cost -- not what they cost Per Pair, but what
they cost per Year.. It is upon this simple test of value
that the successful growth of our Shoe Business is based.
