The Arizona sentinel., 1888-07-21

why cannot our Main street citizens fol- low the example set by John Gandolfo, H. Boxin and Manuel Molina, by planting the graceful pepper tree in front of their busi. ness houses and residences? Aside from tue welcome shade thus caused, such nlantipe would so beautify the street as to make it second to no thoroughfare in Arizona. I'm. value of property would be correspondingly enhanced.

The Rnssnt Leather Shine.

The russet leather shoe is frankly con-
fessed by a certain literary and common
sense dude to be really the lazy or the
economical mans shoe. Its chief merit
lies I'm the fact that it does not need 10
be blackened or busted. II is the
rience Of gentlemen who are sensitive
about their foot wea that a shoe ought
TO be polished abo<t as often as a Clearly
man washes his hands. The patent pol
ished shoe Is objected to on the ground
that it has become greatly cheapened,
and, like the Prince Albert coat, has been
driven out Of fashions realm, because
the toughs have adopted il. Besides. in
hot weather, the patent leather shoe Is
very heating, so the russell leather shoes
finds favor in the young mems eyes.
But II GOODNESS and economy are what
are desired, why not 90 farther east and
get those wonderful shoes that the Chi
nese make with braided straw? They
are nearly the same color, are lighter and
cooler, while they are also far more
unique.-New York Evening Sun.

THE OLD NEST.

A nest hung rocking on a tree,
With bird, motherbrd little birds three.
But the first little bird tried its wings and tew
And the wee little nestlngs were only two.
And, ere they knew 1t, the second bird
The note OF q sweet-voiced songster heard
And the third little bird, left alone in the nest,
Looked over the edge, and was gone with the
rest,
Then the father and mother-bird sat alone,
For the three little birds from the nest had
flown.
And the father bird sang but feeble note,
And the molher-bird stifed the sob in her
throat
For what is nest on lovely tree
Without the dear little nestlings three.

Not person he passes seems to pay the slightest notice to the new hat, much less smiling at the gro- tesque figure he believes he is cutting.

 In need of mere hands and more hasts, She directs his wrappers so they can be read, And writes hts leaders right out of her head, And willingly makes his paste.
