Vou Can Bunk oil Our Shoes.' That is just the kind of a shoe we sell— you can bank on it every time. When there is a run on a bank, it is because there is something the matter with its credit there is a run on this shoe because there is nothing the matter with credit, for it happens to be the most creditable kind of a shoe. You can buy no other kind of a shoe that begins to match it lor the money and the wear and tear it will stand wonid surprise a champion si* day walker. We call it the Calf shoe uud we ask fJi.uo for it. That is a figure the most close fisted buyer that ever lived would call low.

Trial is What 0. Eaiser, of LoRny, 111., Will Get When he Goes Home. 0. liaiser, an accompli shed, gentleman of LeRoy, III., is in pretty deep water but very likely doesn't know it yet. It all came of having a pretty sister-in-law, who wasn't any too discreet. The other evening a gentleman and lady arrived on the Big Four from the west and put up at tho Sherman House. They were exceedingly good looking people and attracted no little attention by their loving demeanor which stamped them as a newly married couple. Early in the morning the gentleman who had registered as C. Raiser came down quite early and proceeded to indite an epistle on one of the Sherman House's letter heads. It was mailed there and the loving couple and things moved on in the same old groove at tho hash dispensary of brother Nolan. The next day, however, came the "cyclone sequel as a resultant of which the breath of mine host Nolan is still coming in short pantB. An elderly lady and a "youngerly" lady arrived from LeRoy, 111., and they had their war paint on. The younger lady was Mrs. C. Raiser. The C. probably stands for Cain, as Mrs. Raiser raised it when she saw the names of C. Raiser and wife on the register. The woman with her husband was her own sister who for some time has been a little too sweet with Mr. R. Some days ago she left. ostensibly on a visit with friends in another Illinois town and day or so later M. Raiser left for business in Indiana. Nothing was suspected until Mrs. Raiser learned that her naughty sister was not visiting her friends as she left to do.' Then when a letter came from her husband stating that he would 1k here for some time yet she got her mother and left at once for Crawfordsville. They went as far as Frankfort in pursuit and it is said from there they returned to Illinois to await the return of Mr. Raiser and his naughty sister-in-law.

The Boxing Contest.

The boxing contest was a dismal failure. both as an entertainment and from a financial standpoint. It would have been a complete failure had not some of the ministers so well agitated the question, causing some to think there might be something go off. The public otherwise, is generally on to such fakes. The door receipts were thus made to reach above $10. Friday Clurk did not show up at all and a colored man was brought over from Lebanon for

rev to thnmp

at, in order to make up a part of a programme, and such contests may be likened to the friendly glove bouts that occur daily in barber shops, etc., for pastime and recreation. —ThornUnvn Argus.

A Successful Affair.

The Y. P. S. C. E. entertainment at the First Presbyterian church last night was attended by a large number of persons, the receipts being SI 1.25. Music was furnished by an orchestra, Mrs. R. S. Inglis, Eddie Brandkamp, Misses Delia Dennis, Carrie Schlemmer, Mayme Hanna and Edith Guthrie. Recitations were made by Charles O. Williite, Fred B. AVilliite, Misses Edna Canine, Ruth Duckworth, Louise Brown, Georgia Martin and Sadie Brown. The introductory remarks were made by Rev. R. S. Inglis, and closing remarks by Charles O. Wilhite.

Prof. Jamea Boyd.

Last evening Prof. James Boyd of the mathematical chair of McAllister College, at St. Paul, Minn, arrived in Crawfordsville. He came to look over Wabash College and to be looked over by the college authorities. He left last evening for St. Paul by way of Lafay ette. Prof. Boyd created a very favorable impression but there is nothing definite as yet in regard to his selection. Some action will probably be taken in the matter next week by the committeo on education.

Will Entertain New Tears.

The Ladies' Auxiliary of the Y. M. C. A. is preparing to give its regular New eur reception on the afternoon and evening of January 1. The preparation will be great and the affair will doubtless prove one of unusual brilliancey, It is intended at present to place the evening's entertainment more in the hands of the young ladies than it last year.

Surprise Party.

Last evening about thirty of the yon ng folks went out to the suburban home of Judge Britton and tendered Miss Lou a delightful surpri'so party. It was complete in every sense of the word. Until the very small hours the guests passed the time merrily away with dancing and other amusements.
