ASK FOR uape HUSHING THE NEW BOOTS. The floor of the village church at Old Weston, Huntingdonshire, was duly spread with hay yesterday, in pursuance of an ancient custom. The church is dedicated to St. Swithin, and many years ago a donor left a field to the parish clerk on condition that the land was mown immediately before the festival of the patronal saint and the cutting strewn ‘on the floor of the church on feast Sun- day. It is supposed that on feast Sun- days the parishioners wore new boots, and the hay was intended to deaden the squeaking.—London Evening Standard, and you get OLD CROW RYE Sold everywhere in bottles.
