Use For old Shoes.

Janitors collect the shoes cast away
by tenants and send them to auction
rooms, where they are sorted into
piles marked "AIen," Women" "Chil-
dren."
Several poor people made fair bids,
but the auctloneer did not seem eager
to sell. Finally a red-faced man
pushed his way through the crowd
and offered ten cents apiece for the
whole lot. His bid was successful.
II was killing time with talk wait
ing for that fellow" said the auction
eer afterward. He always pays high
for these shoes, and he does not want
them for wearing either.
He wants to beat them out for the
leather i'll them. He gets what ma
terial there is, puts it through
process and makes stamped imitation
leather novelties, such as picture
frames, bags, pocketbooks, penknife
holders and even chair backs and seats.
He finds a ready sale for these novel
ties and gets a good price for them. -

Only the newspapers-and nowadays
