passed in games and dancing. At nine
o'clock they formed q grand march and
descended to the dining-room, which
was illuminated by hundreds Of spark
lers. After a delightful repast, they

Uncle Sam is a man Of many
accomplishments, says the Atlanta
Georgian. Besides digging a canal
across the lsthmus Of Panama and
running a government in the interest
Of eighty millions of people, he is
not above the elementary and primi-
tive occupation of pegging shoes.
He is also an excellent workman.
Not only has he kept apace with the
modern improvements in the shoe
makers art, but he has himself head
ed the industrial procession. Last
year more than 100000 pairs Of
shoes were exported from the United
States to foreign countries. The
total valuation of these exports was
$l1,500,00 In 1878 the exports
aggregated only $46S,000, But for
the past fifteen years the develop
ment in this line of industrial en-
terprise has been phenomenal. And
if Uncle Sam had undertaken a con-
tract to furnish shoes for the whole
human family, the figures could
hardly be more indicative of world
wide patronage. Incidentally it may
be said that some Of the best Of the
American shoes bear the Atlanta
brand. In an age like the present
when the best Of everything is de-
manded, the unusual popularity Of
Uncle Sans wares is evidence Of the
very highest character that they have
no superiors in the worlds market.
