HENDERSON, All the hue and erv that can hi* made about a Shoe does not make of that particular Shoe an equal or a superior of any other make. The real test is in the shoe itself its intricate parts. The quality of the leather. The construction and finish, the shape and the fit Will it wear or will it not ? All this enters into Women's Shoemaking, and much more. So then, it becomes the duty of the good Shoe Merchant to he a “Shoe (’hemist and analyze the component parts of all the so-called “best makes of shoes” and, if possible, pick the cream of them all. This is no easy task. There is much that is good in many of them. Hut— NO SHOE IN THE WORLD SELLING AT THE PRICE COSTS AS MUCH TO ACTUALLY PRODUCE AS “PATRICIAN” Does not this justify you in buying at least one pair ? Price $3.50 and $4.00 Gallahan=Dobson Shoe Co. 828 BROADWAY Dear Santa clause as It Is near X-ma* I thought that 1 would wright and tell you what I want I want a cap pistol and six boxes of caps and a little kodak like down at J.

Several hundred letters have accumulated in The Herald o ffice which will have to await their turn. The editor is trying to pub lioh them in the order received. If your letter does not appear prompt ly wait a few days. All letters are being printed that are considered b on a fide. Every now and then some would-be joker tries to take advantage of the opportunity offered the children and tries to perpetrate a p ractical joke on some man, or some lady even—no one is safe from the man or boy with an exaggerated sense of humor. Put a two-cents stamp on every letter and write with a soft pencil or In Ink on one side of the paper. EDITOR SANTA CLAUS LETTERS.
