ShOemaker's COnsciences,
l"Uncle Bill in Chicago Herald

WHY ia IA a
Speaking Of lies and truths, 1 have
found out that shoenakers must stick
exclusively to n or the other. MY
information comes from a trustWrr-
thy man who confines himself, for
business purposes, to the former. He
is a prosperous proprietor ola Broad
way store. On the next bl ok is an
equally successful dealer in foot-gear
who makes a specially of comfortable
shoes.
"ThaJ man has got rich by telling
the truth to his customers" said he,
while | have had to stick to lying.
in a money way we have come out
about even, but think of the advan-
tages his conscience has over niue.
Here is the whole thing in a nut
shell. Men and women generally
want their feet to look small. A
shoemaker squeezes shoes on to them
a full size too little, an1 assures them
that the fit is perfect. Their vanity
makes them take his word TO- it,
don't you see? And that is the way
nine sales out of ten are accomplished
in my store. Think it over, and you
will see that there is no other plan
for us to do our business on. Suppose
we tell a customer frankly that q shoe
he tries on is too small. and put his
foot easily and comfortably into one
that really fits him. He won't like
the looks of it, and will go where he
can be lied to-. Same way with wo-
men. only more 500
but how about the truth teller on
the next block?"
"Ah! be long ago adopted the only
scheme by which a shoemaker can
both get rich and go to heaven. and
there isn't room for many TO practice
it. He set up boldly as an ex ert-a
kind Of shoemaker and chironudist
combined. Persons whom tight
shoe have crippled Mobile to his shop
on their cOrned and bunioned feet,
and he looks their cases over. Then
he says, after chipping and plastering
the pain spots: Il will guarantee you
perfect comfort if you will wear the
shoes that 1 make for YOU The Gust
toner agrees, and soon finds himself
shod in an honest. wide-bottomed,
siZeable manner. His feet look as if
they had suddenly grown by half,
but he submits because an expert has
prescribed for him. That is the only
way, sir, of prosperously telling the
truth in this business. Halt a dozen
have made it go in New York.
But room for it is limited. The
great majority of shoemakers must
remain liars.

One of the oldest stories of the Ar

sents him as making a horse Jack trip
from New Orleans to Little Rock.
Stopping at an Arkansas farm house
the good woman OF the house pre-
pared a toddy for him, and told him
it was from a new barrel of whlskey
that had just arrived. \ week later
he called at the same house and asked
for a tOddy. I'VE haven't a DROP"

A Cow Boy Orders Rettlesnake

He GOT HIS ORDER

lOe0ver republican.
A typical COW boy, fresh from his
herd, went into John Elitch's chop
house last night. The tables were al
well filed, with the exception of one
at which the terror of the plains seat
q himself. As he pulled off his hat
and united the red bandana hand
kerchief from around his throat, he
looked disOainfuliy around.
The nimble waiter brushed an inn
aginary bread crumb from the cloth,

and placed it before the festive but

"Rattlesnake on toast!" yelled the
waiter.
"Rattlesnake on toast" responded
the cook.
There was a slight flutter among
the guests at this strange order, and
the COW boy was scanned by many
curious eyes.
He looked a little disconnected at
having his order SO promptly taken,
and glanced fGrtiveiy towards the
front Of the house. He saw the cooks
u walters engaged in filling orders,
and looking as solemn as g~raveyards
after midnight.
He assumed a nonchalant air, and
picked his teeth with a fork.
A cook deity removed the skin
from a pickerel, and, cutting a strip
the proper shape, placed it in the
spider.
The waiter who had taken the Or
der came tripping back to the bold
b%uccaneer of the pampas.
Twill you have your snake well

Rare, with coolies of milk gravy

Gimme that snake rare; milk

the cook.
"Snake rare, milk gravy-side,"
cook shouted back.

sion had left his eyes, and a soft, sub |
dued, melancholy expression had
taken its place. He fidgeted in his
chair, and seemed to be nerving him

"Here you are, sir" said the cult
nary Ganymede. placing a dish, in
which was something Dicely cooled,
which looked like a fried specimen OF
the genus cr0talus. "Have a little
Worcester sauce. Gives a very fine
flavor. Some folks likes mushrooms
with their snakes. Others prefer
Chill colorow. 4 little salad dressing
don't go bad. There's vinegar and
olive oil in the caster. Will you have
tea or coffee? Very fine snake. Fat
and tender. Caught yesterday"
While the waiter was delivering
himself of this eulogy on the meal,
the steer puncher showed his chair

grew pale around the gills.

1.-THE TIE THAT BINDS"
Study of the census "shows some
interesting particulars respecting the
native population of the country:
Sixty-seven per cent. of these natives,
forming II per cent. of the whole
population, lived in the States in
which they were born; these 1885,
1874 doubtless included most of the
children and more than half of the
women of this country. The other
element of the native population
comprised 1888, 1O6 reople who had
removed from the States of their |
birth to others. Surely this is a wan
dering of the nations as wonderful !
as any historian has related! 1t
tends to make the people of the past
familiar with other portions of the
country, promotes friendships, rela-
tlonships, ties of business, political
harmony and equity, and in a thou
sand silent ways helps to bind the
memories, hopes, affections and inter-
ests of the people together.

A EEQUOR FALLACY.

IL is q curious aud suggestive
feature of the pending fundamen-
tai debate over the question of linn
iting or wholly suppressing the
liquor traffic, that while nearly
every vigorous protest against pre-
hibitiOn comes from liquor sellers or
their advocates, these same protests
are almost invariably based on the
alleged wrong which prohibition in
fiiets upon actual or possible liquor
drinkers. And wherever violent
and criminal resistance is made TO
the enforcement Of restrictive laws,
il 10 notieeably made by liquor sell
ers and their employees, and not by
liquor consumers as such, nor BY the
general body Of citizens. The uni

sufficient accuracy thus: When the
