HIS PATRONS WORE BOOTS.
An Exploration Into the Interior of
CObbEcr's Shop.

(From the New Orleans Times Democracy
81 was going down a quiet side street
in the old quarter the other day." said
a citizen who likes to explore out of the
way hooks and corners, when / had my
attention attracted by a quaint little es-
tablishment that seemed to be half cob
bler's shop and half living room. 1t was
in sort of wing or L, attached to a cot
tage, and its only occupant was a white
haired old chap, bending over a last in
front of a work bench. The seclusion of
the place and absence of any sign excited
my curiosity, and / made the half soling
of pair of imaginary shoes a pretext for
going in and asking some questions. The
old man received me courteously, but told
me at once that he did no general work.
He gave his whole time, he said. to a few
customers, whose footgear he had made
for over forty years and he was even
thinking Of dropping one or two of them.
In the conversation that followed / drew
out a curious story. The old fellow is one
of the survivals from the days of all-hand
shoemaking, and his little shop has been
a sort of snug harbor in which he has
rested while the tide OF modern methods
swept on and made his craft almost lost
art
He has been there ever since 1852, and
enough OF his original patrons have stuck
casionally one would die. but then, as he
ENORMOUSLY explained he was constantly
getting slower in his work, and the shrink

maintained a very pretty equilibrium.

Of fine calfskin boots, and was making
them exactly as they were made before the

net was filled with their unique lasts. /

clipped from newspapers, pasted on the
heels. They belonged TO patrons who have
passed away.
The old man told me he was nearly sew

of his profession, and when he looked at

boots to keep for curio."

A PLEASURABLE MoNoToNY.
Where n Host Failed in the Role of
Hospitality
Trom the Detroit Free Press.

This delightful gentleman of scholarly
training and charming manners resides on
Second Avenue. He usually lives within
himself, and yet when he can be drawn
out he is so entertaining that even women
like to remain silent and listen TO the sa
want who culls the very choicest fruits OF
his knowledge for their benefit.
One afternoon recently he was called
upon by a distinguished professor from
Philadelphia, who presented himself and
met with a reception that warmed his
heart. Never had he encountered more
gracious host or heard more delightful
talker.
81 must leave this matter to you" said
the latter as the cuckoo clock in the next
room announced o'clock. Please accept
the assurance that your choice is mine.
I'm asked TO reception this afternoon,
where there will be some very nice people
and have accepted. 1t would be pleasure
to take YOU but no less a one to have a
monopoly OF you here
We'll, go by all means. ] shouldn't
think of interfering with any of your
plans"
Take look at the books and paintings.
I'll be with you in two minutes" and he
hurried upstairs to make a hasty toilet.
Down he went again, his thoughts on
something he had been reading, hurried
into his oyercoat and galoshes. seized his
umbrella and headed for the reception.
After an hour the professor succeeded
In seeing a maid. She searched the house
and reported. He wrote note that siz
zled. and slammed the door as be left. His
host has written two of the humblest apol-
ogies and received no answer.

CRESCENT cITY's EARLY DAYS.
An Era When n Mild Sort of Blue
Laws Were in Existence.

From the New Orleans Times Demoerat)
New Orleans was a remarkably strait
laced city hundred years ago. said a
Jefferson parish planter, chatting at the
ST. Charles last evening. "At all events it
was anything>bu wide OPEN as the phrase
goes. A granduncle of mine kept tavern
here between the years 1896 and 1899, and
have his old ledger and account book our
at my place in the country. Most of the
entries are mere memoranda of amounts
received and paid out. but here and there
is a paragraph that throws an interesting
Side light on the conditions. social and 9TH
erwise that prevailed at that period. On
two occasions my estimable relative fell
foul of the authorities and was fined The
first time it was for allowing one of his
servants to perform unnecessary labor on
the Sabbath That offence cost him twenty
Spanish dollars. and he complains bitterly
in a marginal note that the labor consisted
in nothing more than preparing stall for
a travellers horse, without which the poor
beast must have remained out of doors I'M
til the following day. l am inclined to
side with my uncle in that case, and dare
say it was simply a matter of paying po-
lice tribute.
THE other affair seems to have been
more serious gather from his note on the
subject that there was city ordinance or
regulation then in force requiring all tay-
arn keepers to report the arrival of stran-
gers, with full details and description, to
the nearest magistrate. This was the old
Spanish policy of public espionage, and my
uncle appears to have been rather lax in
observing the requirements. Anyhow he
was denounced in February 1899 for fail
ing to report two travellers. and that being
his second offence. was fined fifty Spanish
dollars and put on notice that a repetition
would exile. In looking over the account
book find that the tap room of the tavern
was not only closed every Sunday. but on
holy days also, which averaged over twenty
a year. The honest publican evidently had
a rocky road in New Orleans a century

COULD NOT EVADE THE RULES.
Chinese Regulations Concerning
Railroad Transportation.
(From the Chicago News.)


On the Saturday before the Chinese New
Year a foreigner who had taken train at
Ikeda in Japan arrived at Kanzaki In time
to catch a train timed to reach Kobe about
lI:l5 in the morning. He asked when the
train was expected. One of the officials
said that he must not enter the next train,
as II was a through one from Tokyo.
Doesn't II stop here?' he asked. yes
but local passengers are prohibited from
entering" The foreigner asked to see the
station master This gentleman said his
instructions weEe that no passengers could
enter the train. But this is matter OF
much importance" pleaded the foreigner.

OLD BANK NOTES.
Paper Money Was Issued in China in
the Ninth Century.

Among the many products OF civilization
which were familiar to the Chinese many
centuries before they came into use in Eu-
rope may be reckoned bank notes. There

Threadneedle Street" specimen supposed

the fourteenth century of our era.
II is now proved, however. that paper
money was Issued in China Is early as
SO7 A. d. These securities closely resem-
bled the famous French assignats in being
based upon the estates OF the kingdom. The
Bank OF Stockholm claims to have been
the first western institution to ADOPT a
paper currency but the Bank OF England
must have followed very close with its
EGO notes, which were ISSUED in 1886.
