The handsomest pair Of slippers
ever owned by the editor adorn his
feet when he gets time for such dain-
ty delights at home, and are a christ
mas present from Bragstad Bros, the
popular shoe dealers of this city.
They are made from undressed kid
and patent leather and the uppers
carry a handsome eagle resting on a
shield. II any Of our subscribers
should notice an inclination to a
roundness of shoulders they may
easily figure out the cause. An edi-
tor with a millionaire's slippers is a
pretty strong pace to begin the new
year with.
