Boots and Shoes.

If there is ought in this life that is sore t.
the sight and punishment to ones entirety,
is an out of style boot or shoe that does not prop
erly fit the feet If either too tight or too loose
it brings, We believe, more misery than augh
else to the wearer.
To obtain either fine boot or shoe for eithe
sex, or age, for wear in summer. spring or fal
and at satisfactory prices, one should not fail Il
call on E. J. DAFEY, Mineral Point Wis
To have feet feel in manner right,
We all should have good shoes,
That brings 10 women much delight,
And man will meier refuse.
And best of such to e'er obtain,
To E. J. DAVEY the people go,
For prices least they there do gain,
a fact of which we know.
He has them for ladies fine wear,
For children, too as well,
And patrons oftentimes declare,
That cheaply he does sell.
For gents he, too, has very best
OF every latest style.
And slippers fine, that stand the test,
And makes one pleasing smile

Health OF the Survivors of the War

While the health of some men have
been improved by their military service
during the war, even to the preservation
of lives that would have been lost had
the owners remained exclusively in civil
life, the health of the average veteran
has been deteriorated by his service, and
that he suffers more from illness and has
a somewhat less expectation of life than
other men of his age. This conclusion,
based as it is upon an examination of the
census data for a small part of the coun-
try, is a provisional one only.-Dr. John
S. Billings in Forum.

a home at my house until she was

The gifts of God to our people during

more love for the free civil institutions in
the creation of which his directing proyi-
dence was so conspicuous; He has
awakened deeper reverence for law; He
widened our philanthropy by call to sue
cor the distress in other lands; he has
blessed our schools and is bringing for
ward patriotic and God fearing genera
ton to execute His great and benevolent
designs for our country; He has given us
great increase in material wealth and a
wide diffusion of contentment and comfort
in the homes of our people He has given
His grace to the sorrowing.
Wherefore, i, BENJAMIN +. Harrison.
president of the United States, do cali
upon all people to observe, as we have been
won't, Thursday, the twenty-fourth day of
this month of November as day of thanks
giving to God for His mercies, and of sup
plication for His continued care and grace.
In testimony whereof 1 have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the United
Stated to be affixed. Done at the city OF
Washington, this fourth day OF November,
