curious in such matters wo can probo
into the nature of the changes that have
passed over the fashion of men's humor.
For it lias li en said, not without tho
«upport of \\ i ightjr cumulative evidence,
that, as we iH iietrate ftirtlur into tho
past, we find the sense of humor de-
pending always more obviously and
solely upon the enjoyment of the pain,
misfortune, mortification or oiubarra«.«;-
mi nt of others. The sense of superiority
w as tho sense of humor in our ancestors;
or, in other words, vanity lay at the
root of this as ef most other attributes
of our bumptious spcoics!

catch the celioes of u strai: .1 merry

yet with hero nud there a tender cadence
from some Military voice; and presently
this lonely note grows stronger and
sweeter, as we travel slowly toward our
time, until at length, through all the
merriment, we can hear the soft undcr-
inurmur of pity. Does the picture not
seize the imagination—the long laughler

Certainly. She needs Shoes to complete her
costume; otherwise there is nothing lacking. It is
a large want, though. To be supplied and to meet
the case fully and handsomely, the shoes should
be selected from our stock. Although at the foot,
shoes stand pretty near at the head of dress neces-
sities, and ours unquestionably are by long odds at the head of the Foot-
wear Line. We cap the climax of possible achievement with our present
display of everything up to date for every occasion and kind of wear at
very tempting prices.
