+ do you know that for all the revolu
tion in the shoe business. the shoe
; maker in the west still finds demand
for the handsome hand sewed home
made boot and that this is not true OF
any other place in the world?"
Nick Chaplin asked the question
mick is himself the finest sort of shoe
maker, being a son of William Chap
lin, who carries $4,000 shoe stock at
No. 121 West Railroad Avenue in the
good city founded by the Duke Of AL
buquerQue. 1t was in the snug shoe
shop of Nick Yenny, the artistic shoe
maker of the Santa Fe Indian School,
that Nicholas Chaplin spoke.
Every year the competition
amongst all shoe manufacturers grew
fiercer until the trust idea took deep
root in the land. Partly this >competi-
ton grew out of the demand for a
cheaper shoe and partly because the
invention of so much labor saving
machinery made an economy in ma
tCl ACCCSSAIy. lllluh Iuc ldSL
stroke in this line came when they
began to make wooden heels for GER
tain grade of ladies Shoes These
heels are light, we'll shaped and they
cut the price of rather dressy shoe
ON dollar to dollar and half a
y. 1t was such ideas as this, to-
er with the new machinery of the
. ctories, which has brought the
of shoes to what 1t Is today. 1t
such short cuts in the business
which long ago rendered the shOemak-
er's trade almost void. Here in the
west there is still demand for hand
made boot very much the style that
our grandfathers wore with pride.
What is more, these high top beauties
command the same price they did so
years ago. l never turp pair out
for less than from $14 to $40.
This Climate Did It.
Found-One large rotund appetite;
owner can get same by calling upon
Frederick O'Leary at Republican club
duu paying lOI udud6cS.
This is the classified advertisement
which some of Mr.. O'Leary's Santa Fe
friends would like to have printed in
the New Mexican Mr.. OLeary ar
rived from smoky Pittsburg three
weeks ago. At that time he had lost
his own appetite and had little hope of
its recovery. Now, after having resid'
ed in the promised land less than a
month he finds it necessary to make
each meal order double header. He
is a rich man, but even rich men have
a limit when it comes to repeaters.
While he came here for this very pur.
pose he is a trifle suspicious that some
one is playing it on him pretty low
down. It is perfectly true that he was
in search of lost appetite, but this
one which he has found cannot posi-
bly, be the one that he lost for he never
ate like this before in his life. 1t evi-
dently belongs to some one who dis
carded it out of sheer necessity.
It has come to such state that
O'Leary sees mountains of ice cream
and boulders of cold roast beef in his
dreams. He cannot close his eyes that
he does not see tons of roast turkey or
duck in his minds eye.
-T'll sing the praises of Santa Fe all
right" he said this morning as he
finished his second porterhouse. "As
soon as | have gained $50 or 300
pounds more am going east and or
ganize Santa Fe pilgrimages for the
people who can't eat. I'll be careful
to pick bunch of those who can pay
for they will need the money"
There was a COW in Denver last week
which at seven years of age weighed
1 500 pounds, and Mr.. O'Leary's chef
will barbecue 1t as a side order for
O'Leary's next New Years luncheon.
Learned Trade Here. |;
There Is nothing like coming
nome," said NJ P. Martinez, in the
New Mexican Office this morning.
Above all there is nothing like getting
lome for the holidays"
Mr.. Martinez came up from Santa
Rosa, one Of the children. Of the Rock
island, to visit his father of this city.
He Is the lessee of the Santa Rosa Sun
