WHISPERINGS. 
Some people are very near sighted at 
times. Here is a case that came to my 
attention a few days ago of a business 
man from Essex, who came to Man- 
chester. He had a shoe that needed 
slight repairing. Apparently without 
looking he walked into C. T. Loomis’ 
in Central square and asked our genial 
friend Charles: ‘‘Can you repair my 
shoe?”’ ‘‘Sure;’’ came back the 
answer, © take it off.’? At this the man 
removed his shoe and handed it over. 
The proprietor asked to be excused for a 
few minutes to get some nails. When 
the ““boss’’didn’t return the man_be- 
gan to look around a little and to his sur- 
prise he found himself in the jewelry 
store. He also saw that he was 
ce ” 
stung, ’’’ to use the slang, and he put 
on his shoe and walked out. ‘The last 
seen of him he was entering Charles 
Hooper’s, next door, for repairs.
