Today he had displayed in his window twenty two and one-half dollar gold pieces that attracted' much attention. The modern bot lace is anything but a luxury. It is nearly always just too long or a little too short, and, although made flat, it soon becomes curled with a little wear. In the old days laces were made of calfskin, and nearly every farmer was an expert. He would cut a disk of leather three or four inches in diameter, stick the point of a sharp knife blade in a board, plac.e the thumb nail the thickness of a match from it and quickly draw the string through the opening, the perimeter being reduced the thickness of a match at every measure of the circumference. Then the square string was rolled between the sole of the shoe and the floor till perfectly round, after which it was greased with tallow. Such a lace would last for months. Round laces are now made of fiber but their shine soon wears off, giving them a much worn appearance.

Seeing this boy wading an-kle-deep in a half frozen puddle one day in January, I said sternly: ‘Tom. my, why are you not at school?’ ” “ ‘l’ve got the whooping cough,’ he answered, splashing about vigorously.” What is Itch Dirt?
