Over a Million workers know that my
"steels'' are, without question, the best foot
wear in the world for the outdoor man -
the Farmer; the Dairy, Stock or Creamery
man; the Fruit or Vegetable grower - for
every man who "hits the grit" or tramps the

Cost Less Than Leather

MY "Steels'' are more ECONOMICAL
than any other Workshop, because their
first cost is less and they wear years, instead
of months. One pair of "steels" will outwear

The approach to the wharf Of the

experienced by people who patronlze
the steamers. The same trouble Is
persons who arrive here
on river steamers or embark upon
the same at any time of the year.
AS was seen by the proceedings OF

contemplated improving conditions
in that locality some time ago, has
petitioned the City Council to donate
discarded cobbIestones and Tagging

port the same and pay for the worn

The crossing of Union street ha:
been in a bad condition for a Ions
time, and after the Mutual Ice Com

then the rabbit said:
We'll. my name is Rabbit. I've
heard about you. and so I've come to
invite you to visit me-"
Where do you liver" asked Flint.
my home is in the broom grass by
the river," said the rabbit.
well. will be pleased to come and
visit you in few days" said Flint, and
he looked as II he wished the rabbit
would go away.
why not come with me today and
have supper at my house?" asked the
rabbit, who had made his plans.
"All right, l WILL said Flint. Just
walt till cover my fire with ashes SO
1t will keep till morning"
So the two icame down from the
mountain together, and they came to
the rabbits house by the river. The

then they ate their supper on the
grass.
It was good supper the rabbit
cooked, and afterward Flint said he
was sleepy and would take a nap. And
when Flint lay down the rabbit hunted
round for two big sticks. Then he got
out his knife and began to whittle on
the sticks. One he whitfield In the
shape Of a hammer and the other he
shaped like a wedge.
What are you doing that for?"
asked Flint sleepily.
"Oh, always have to be doing some
th;ng." said the rabbit. Besides,
these may come in handy"
rabbit spoke to him. but he did not
answer. The rabbit went over and
kicked Flint. but even that did not
wake him. Then the rabbit put the
sharp wedge against the body Of Flint
and drew back as far as he could with
the hammer and sent the wedge deep
into Flint's body.
AS he struck. the rabbit turned and
ran as fast as he could to the door of
his house. Just as he got inside he
heard great explosion and struck his
head out to see what 1t was. The
wedge had broken the body OF Flint
to bits and the pieces were flying all
about.
1t was one of the pieces that came
flying straight at the rabbit and cut
his upper lip before he could pull his
head inside his door. And to this day
you can see in the upper lip OF the
rabbit the little split made by the
piece of Flint.

Long time ago, when the Indians OF
the wooded mountains used to tip theiI
arrows with pieces Of sharp flint, the
little children who watched the old
men at work chipping the flint and
binding the pointed bits Of stone into
the ends Of the arrows with deer sinew
would hear this story:
Once the animals all came together
in council to talk about how they could
destroy Flint. the awful fellow who
lived up on the mountain and killed
SO many OF them. One after the other
the animals stood up in the council and
told about how Flint had come down
from the rocky lodges Of the mountain
The Great Bear said It; the long
pronged deer said It; the Oldest COB
bier saidsit; and finally the Great Otter
said that somebody must go and kill
Flint in order to save the lives Of the
rest Of the animals.
But who would dare to go up to the
mountain and undertake to destroy
Flint! No one wanted to go, though
the Great Otter, who was at the head
of the council. said that great honor
would come to the one who succeeded
At last when It came time for the
rabbit to answer, he said that he would
go and destroy Flint II he only knew
the way to his house.
"Oh!" said all the animals at once
I'VE will show you the way" And SC
they all came out of the council and
took the rabbit to high knoll. When
they were all gathered on the knoll,
the Great Otter stood beside the rab
bit and pointed to a house way up on
the side Of the mountain. They could
Just barely see 1t.
There" said the Great Otter. lives
Flint" and he told the rabbit just how
to get up there.
It was long road. and the rabbit
sat down to rest before he got to
Flint's house, and he planned what he
would do. Then he got UP and went
on.
Flint was standing in the door OF
his house as the rabbit came up and
said to him:
they call Flint?" And, the rabbit said
it Just as II he meant to bite his head
of right there!
"Yes, I'm Flint" answered the
wicked one who lived on the moun.
tain, but he didn't invite the rabbit to
come inside. So the rabbit said:
"Is this where you live?" And Flint
answered.:
