Arid , before three of the '20 handsome floats had passed , they were yelling themselves hoarse for Portland and the festival. "The Spirit of the Golden West" got hold of the crowds -mm it deserved to, and from first to last It was a big suc cess. Everyone who could get down town came. The streets beaan to fill up early in the evening and by o'clock when the parade under the capable lead ership of Brigadier-General Planer started from Thirteenth -' and Davis streets the police and reserves had their Jiands full keeping the pavement clear for the passage of the spectacle.

But he is not Infallible. -. Here, for Instance, la a woman who wears the soles of her shoes very thin up at their forward end. at their very tips, there, at the toe; and to her: "Tou live in the country," says the shoe expert "No." says tha .woman, "I live in the city. Why did you think I lived In the countryf "Because your shoes are worn so at the toea. I thought you walked on ma cadam roads."
