thought he would Hike TO wear pair
Just like them When Mr.. Harlow

Mr.. Harlow has never been seen 10

Sunday put on the 'shiney' shoes, but
they proved 10 be too "hashy' for his
modest tastes so ne took them Off and
fell back upon his "oh steadies." On
Monday, he took the shoes back TO Mr..

that ne wanted pair or shoes Tor the

Mr. BARLEY wrapped him up a pair OF
shoes and they were sent 10 the church.
When the fair closed Tuesday evening,
the Rev. Father Brown. pastor OF the
church, ofriciated at the drawing of the
articles at this table, and he found that
the number that called for shoes was
held by Mr.. Harlow. and when Mr.. Har-

drew them he came to the conclusion
that fate was against him. and he was
doomed to wear for the first time In his
life a fancy pair OF shoes.
