| home Of ladies' with large feet, but it
has not been generally known, hereto
fore, that merely entering the city de-
! veloped the abnormal proportions, and
that lady visitors to the White city
must either take along a pair of their
husbands or brothers shoes, or else
buy pair to fit.

asked about the deal they say Shaw is
/ the most competent man. Granting
that to be true it proves that all the
republican pledges over the old soldier
is the veriest hogwash. and that the
pathetic way in which Mr.. Tedrow was
nominated was mere piece of acting.
The man who left leg on the battle

climbed into Office over the old soldier
for many years is at last being revealed
to the most prejudiced.
