Show Shin ltd thf Governor's Shoe. Fro:n the New York Press. Now that David Bennett Hill is no longer governor and that his duties must lie performed per-formed in Washington instead of Albany, the bootblack in the Hoffman house will lose, at least a small portion of his annual income. Senator Hill is famous fur the glory of his boots, and w hen he came to the Hoffman bouse, which was quite often, the first thing be did after taking off his overcoat over-coat was to idnce him-elf comfortably in the chair for a shine. And he always trot a refulgent one, for he pays well though no one knew it but the shiner, who said yesterday, yester-day, with considerable emotion, when be rind of the inauguration of (lovernor Flower: 'I would shine Dave's shoe for uuthln' sooner than antiudder man's for a quarter. It was a pleasure, for he wore small ones, and 1 always felt sort o' lonesome when 1 got through. Home chump down in Wash-Ington Wash-Ington will do them up for him now, Iml never in such shape as me. W hy, the last time I sinned the jfov'uer'o shoes ! swear 1 could see Slcnt Kassett's face in 'em." |
