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

(From the New Orleans Times-D d. mocrat)
q 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-
Enlistment that seemed to be half cob
bler's shop and half living room. II was
in a 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 l made the half-soling
of pair Of imaginary shoes a pTetext 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 a lost
art.
He has been there ever since 1852. and
enough Of his original patrons have stuck
to him to keep him busy all the time. Oc-
casionally one would die, but then, as he
ENORMOUSLY explained, he was constantly
getting slower in his work, and the shrink
age Of output and falling off Of custom
maintained a very pretty equilibrium
When | looked in he was at work on a pair
of fine calfskin boots and was making
them exactly as they were made before the
war. All the old gentlemen who patron
lied him still wore boots, and a wall cabi-
net was filled with their unique lasts. l
observed about q dozen with death notices,
clipped from newspapers, pasted on the
heels They belonged to patrons who have
passed away.
The old man told me he was nearly sew
enty. He spoke with pain Of the decadence
OF his profession, and when he looked at
nv tan shoes he shuddered. ] am going TO
try to pursuade him to make me pair OF
boots to keep for a curio."

New Orleans was a remarkably strait

Jefferson parish planter, chatting at the

here between the years 1896 and 1893, and l

two occasions my estimable relative fell

first time it was for allowing one Of his
servants to perform unnecessary labor on

Spanish dollars. and he complains bitterly
in a marginal note that the labor consisted
in nothing more than preparing a stall for
a travellers horse, without which the poor
beast must have remained out Of doors IN

ms was an action for the loss OF
soous destroyed by fire while in the
possession of the defendants driver.
Delendant was doing business as the
L a1iey transfer Company and as such
iau number Of vehicles in the city of
lexington. all duly licensed, to haul
goods for hire. He hauled goods for
all persons and of every kind. and he
agreed to haul plaintiffs goods from
lexington to Nicholasville. a point out
size OF the city. The goods were burn
ed while being hauled, and unless the
Iire caught from the pipe or cigar of
the oriyeT Is unexplained. There was
a verdict and Judgment for plaintiff he
low, and defendant appealed.
The court says:
IL appellant was a common carrier in
carrying these goods, his liability
stands admitted; for he nowhere pleads
that the damage was caused by the act
OF God, the public enemy, or the in
herent quality of the goods. We are
OF opinion that by the evidence of the
appellant himself. it is shown that he
was common carrier within the limits
OF the city OF Lexington. He admits
that he hauled for all or any persons,
and had obtained license so to do.
Being common carrier, appellant
could have been compelled to haul for
appellee within the territory in which
ne was engaged. but she could not have
compelled him to go outside the terri
torial limit. In this case however. he
contracted to go beyond his territory.
Applying the facts to a railroad. we
should say he agreed to go beyond the
end of his line. If a carrier contracted
to convey beyond Its line. it would be
liable as a common carrier for the
whole distance. 1t being clear by the
proof that appellant was a common
carrier. and agreed to carry these
goods from some point in Lexington to
Nicholasville. without any further con-
tract the liability of common carrier
attached the whole distance. Affirmed.
