Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 22, Number 85, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 12 July 1901 — Why He Got Well. [ARTICLE]

Why He Got Well.

The Man with a Clear Conscience bought a pair of tan shoes with the advent of spring, and, while going home in the street car, conjured up a mental photograph of himself strolling along the sandy beach of a summer resort with his pedal extremities encased in his new purchase. That night he was taken ill. For four days he contemplated his new shoes with his head on a downy pillow. When he recovered the Man said: “There was only one thing that worried me while I was sick. I couldn’t get those tan shoes out of my head. What if I should die without having had a chance to wear ’em! Such a contingency seemed to furnish an additional and potent reason why I should get well. I just made up my mind I was going to live long enough to get my feet Into those shoes and—well, I did.”—New York Mall and Express.
