Hon. M. II. DAY was making acquan-
tances, and a good impression at the
same time, amongst the general run of
people, yesterday. He seems to be the
most likely democrat that has appeared
for the honor of being defeated, for some
time and will no doubt poll larger vote
than the candidate two years ago. Per-
sonaly Mr.. Day is an agreeable gentle
man and looks like man with whom
deal might be made.

Don't Crowd the TOes.

''ln what particular are shoes gener-

Il think it is safe to say that ninety
nine out of every hundred women wear
shoes that are too large in the instep,
Shoes that are made too large in the
instep allow the feet to crowd forward
on to the toes and the result is there is
a defornity of some sort. When a
woman's foot hurts her, nine times out
OF ten she will have the buttons of her
shoes set so they will be larger in the
instep, and if her toes are troubling
her the mischief is only increased. The
button should be reset so as to make
the instep smaller and the shoe fit the
better. The slovenly-ftted shoe is tho
cause of nearly all the trouble.

have customers talk of corn root, A
corn is only calloused spot, and goes
only as far as it is pressed. Narrow
toed shoes are the cause of ingrowing
nails, too.''
''Do you find men or women to be
troubled the most with their feet?''
''Women, should say. The high
heeled and narrow-toed shoes are what
play the mischief with them and, as |
said before. the failure to have the
shoes fitted properly at the instep. If
women would wear broad-toed shoes
with low heels, and made by a man
who understood his business, COM
plants would be few and far be-

did not get in until 1890. She was on
her way from San Francisco to Europe,
via New York. She was we'll educated
and spoke English fairly well evidently
being a woman of ability. She was
inclined to be fleshy, and dressed
elegantly, with a tendency to gaud-
mess. The wreck put her out con-
siderably, as she was not accustomed
to such things. When she found that
she would have to walk in the mud,

her. She made the best of things,
however, and, intrusting her bag of
jewels to the porter safely performed

soil.
