Florence bank robbery." It was
tor tho robbery- ot the bank at
Kloreuce that Murray wus sen

Oregon prison. "When Tom was
a little boy he was bright and he

after an accident, although I don't
know whether the accident had
anything to do with it or not."

When ho was la, tile lather ex

were throwing rocks one day at
a squirrel in a tree Tile boys were
on opposite sides of the tree and
a rock thrown by his companion
hit Tom in tho forehead, cutting
a g:xsu from which ho still wears
a scar. After that Tom lost interest
in his work quite suddenly and
oon after ran away from borne.
"I have always thought some
thing was wrong with Tom's
mind. When be was sent to the
penitentiary for the Florence bank
robbery we thought about sending
liiin to tho 'bug house,' but we
decided that the punlBhment
might do hlra good so we never
made any move to have him sent
there."
Asked how Tom had received his
visit yesterday, Mr. Murray de
clared that "he's in good spirits,
taking it a lot better than I
thought he could." Ho related
that he had told his son that while
he did not condone for a minute
the thing which Tom bad done,
yet his family would nevertheless
stand by him.

Hello
Glad to see you. You're surely looking fine
now; tell ma, how's everything in general,
and by the way, how are you getting along
with your feet? Do they bother you any
more?
No Siree, Jimmie! Not since wearing a
real fitting pair of shoes that I bought at
ROTTLE'S, the place you recommended. I
am indeed having comfort with my feet.
They look nice, don't they 7 and they only
cost me seven dollars. Nothing beats em.
You surely steered me right.
You too, can be correctly fitted in the
proper size, last and leather to fully meet
your requirements for all or any occasion.
