The villSge blacksmith. Did you know him

shines against the smiths black face: how
the huge sledge stroke tires the helpers brawny

plainly as you hear the song your mother sang.
And wasn't the smith your friend? Of course he
was. You weren't afraid of his big, black, cal
lous hands, was you? Soft as a woman's when
they stroked your frowsy head, to be sure. And
how he could sing, too-winded and lunged like
his big bellows. wasn't he. OF course he led

village blacksmith was good man. No-yes.

The simple rule in these matters ought to be
that all unnecessary noises in the streets are
nuisances, to be abated as such. The enforce
ment of that rule by the police would add
greatly TO the comfort of life in great city,
and would inflict neither harm nor hardship

A dainty shoe encasing a lovely foot is
something to be admired, and surely
never before were there so many
novelties in the shoe line designed for the
purpose of pleasing the ladies as well as

''How are the styles OF shoes this year,
Mr.. Evans?''
"Handsomer than ever, with great
err variety Of combinations and more new
things in the shoe line than ever before,
this being especially true in ladies' and
misses shoes. -
Leading the way to the shelves filed
with boxes of ladies shoes, Mr.. Evans
displayed a line of colored goods now
much in vogue and certainly very ele-
giant. All these styles were new, the
shoes being Of beautiful design with
gray, green, copper, light tan and
other colored tops, kid tips and fine
leather vamps. In ladies Oxfords there
is great variety this year, a particularly
handsome shoe being made out of Rus

Ladies evening slippers are simply SUI

Ladies' russell Oxfords are very popu-

at So, strikes the fancy of many of the
ladies.

the babies, little girls and misses this

"Oh, we have nearly all the styles you
have seen in ladies' shoes repeated in the
lines you mention.

Mr.. Evans says the wholesale depart

all the towns around Fort Worth, and
the special demand is for high grade
goods, showing that the people in this
section are prosperous.
In the manufacturing department all
was activity, and the fact was learned
that sufficient number of skilled men
could not be obtained TO make the shoes
as fast as desired.

of this city who cannot be as well pleased
