Business men are not supposed
to laugh at any order, hoircrer ex
travagant, that mar bo scut them
but if one ol Lynn’s big shoe deal
ers didn’t Indulge in a real ghastly
smile when lie received one order
’hie fall, it was because he had not
sufficient strength left. J. M Far-
uum Is a coloredpraoher in Char,
lotte, end hie fighting woizbt, wbeu
skirmishing with the legion of
Satan, is 410 pounds. He stands
C feet 10 inches high without his
boots, and, taken collectively,
would bo a dangerous man to fall
under at a skating rink. Some
time ago a Northern gentleman
met Mr. Farnum In the South, and
the latter ordered a pair of shoes
made for him at the North, for
which this gentleman took the
measure. The order was given to
Lynn’s leading shoe manufacturer,
but it was too much for him, and a
pair of shoes were made from a
special last in Boston and sont tho
revorend gentleman. Tho shoes
are thirty-five’s. The length from
heel to too is just twenty inches,
and the width of the bail, including
a protuberance that may be a corn
and may be natural is a trifle over
7 J inches. Some idea of the “tout
ensemble” may he gained from the
faot that a pasteboard copy of tho
eolc of ono of the shoes which a re
porter carried in his overcoat pock
et, extended from the depths of
the pockets to the armpits. This
copy was taken from a measure
ment of tho bootless foot of the
olergyman, and those who know
pronounced it correct.
From tho forward end of the sole
a piece the size or a dessert plate
could easily he cut. The heel, if
the proper material, would make a
decidedly generous flap jack, and
the whole thing in shape and size,
,,M gives one tbo irresistible impres-
sion of a tennis racket or an elonga
ted shirt front, without its sym
metry.
