The newest thing in ladies' boots is
to have stud fasteningS instead OF but
tons. Therarest thing In either shoes
or boots is a foot that Is not warped out
of shape, andeOvered with corns and
bunioas.@ The high-toned clerks in
boot stores, who spend their time on
their knees trying to persuade suscepti-
bic females with number six feet, that a
"two and a half shoe will fit them,
should look out for these painful ex-
cresenceS. We know clerk in Su-
iperior street shoe store who is ehaste as
the driven .snow, and never thinks Of
helping ladp customer try on a shoe
unless he is blindfolded,. but he fooled
around the other day until he struck on
& two year old corn, and tho fair Gus
toner hauled off with the other foot and
kicked him into the show window

AS If there were not swindIing sufi-
cent already inIthis world, there is a
new branching corn, having from three
to seven ears to a stalk. The manu-
facturer of this new variety sold stalks
attwenty-ffve dollars apiece, but being
closely examined by the Indignant
purchasers they were found to be sew
era1 stalks and ears neatly glued togeth-
er. Judson, for this is the name OF the
gigantic corn manufacturer, being ar
rested In Chicago, gave bail and fled.
Farmers who are not careful how they
buy agricultural novelties, or who pay
for machines before they get them,
may regret that that they did not
stick to the old seed and the old way Of
planting it.
