kept secret at the request of the relations of the
deceased. Various stories were soon afoat,
however, and all inquiries at the hospital by

now appears that Foster was called in the night

to take seat in Palmer's boot and shoe store
and they will forget all about the panic u wit
Messing the celebrity and ease and care with
which every customer is fitted to boots (and
this store is well known as the place to fit diff
cult feet). Mr. Palmer has, by judicious sys-
tenn of advertising, built up trade of which
he is justly proud, and Notwithstanding the
money panic, is doing at this time, larger
business than ever before. Although his mod
est and unique advertisements are not large or
extrayagant, yet they probably exceed all 9TH
