Horace Greeley - shoes.
HOW THE MYSTERY or THEIR LOSS BY
THEFT WAS SOLVED.
/ 4. LoIIis Republican,. ]

About the year 1870, when Ar
thur Barrel was president Of the
Fair association, Mr.. Greeley ac-
eepted an invitation to deliver the
annual address in the amphithea-
tire OF the fair grounds Col.
Todd was charm an Of the recep-
ton committee, and after the close
Of the address escorted the speak
er to his room at the Southern
hotel. where he babe him good
bye, as Mr.. Greeley was to leave
the city early on the following
morning. Before leaving him,
however, Col. Todd said:
"Well, MIR. Greeley, l trust that
during your stay here everything
has been satisfactory to YOU"
eyes, replied Mr.. Greeley,
slowly and with considerable hes
itancy, everything has been as
pleasant as l could have desired,
except"-rhere the old gentleman
looked sadly down at his feet, and
after a brief pause resumed Sex
cept that some one stole my
shoes last night"
"Stole your shoes!" echoed Col.
Todd in establishment, also sur
veying MIR. Greeley's feet.
"Yes,'' replied Mr.. Greeley with
sigh and moving his feet un-
comfortably. eyes, 1 left them
outside of my door last night and
some one walked off with them.
But new pair was left in place
of the old ones, and that's what
troubles me. The old ones were
easy and comforta BILE, but the new
ones hurt my feet
"One might be pardoned,p said
Col. Todd, "for wanting to step
INTO yonr shoes Perhaps some
one wanted them as souvenirs .
This was intended for a com
pliment, but Mr. Greeley was too
much interested in his feet to
notice it He only said, perhaps
so, but | would very much prefer
my old ones to these,and wish they
had taken something else as a
Souvenir
Several weeks elapsed before
the mystery of the stolen shoes
was solved. 1t was then ascer-
tanned that a colored man named
Wilkinson, who was one of the
BARRIERS at the Southern, had real
iy taken Mr.. Greeley's shoes as
mementoes to the man who had
worked SO actively and earnestly
for the freedom of the negroes.
In speaking of the matter to Col.
Todd, Wilkinson said that he was
walking along the hall near Mr..
Greeley's room, and seeing the
shoes standing outside the door,
the idea struck him that they
would be just the things to give
to the children to remind them of
him who had done so much for
Che colored man. He therefore
took them, hurried out of the
hotel and went to a shoe-store.
where he purchased a pair of
much better shoes of the same
size as the old ones, and return
ing to the hotel, put the former
where the latter had stood. He
thought that a fair exchange was
no robbery, and felt that he was
giving much more in actual value
than ne was receiving. Wilkinson
IS dead, but the shoes are probab
ly now in st. Louis. 1t is under
