WOMAN'S DEPARTMENT.
HOME e.

A man can build a mansion
And furnish it throughout;
A man can build . palace,
With lofty walls and stout;
A man can build temple,
With high and spacious dome;
But no man in the world can build
That. precious thing called Home.
1t Is the happy faculty
OF women far and wide,
To turn a cot or palace
Into something else beside;
Where brothers, sons and husbands, tired,
With willing footsteps come.
A place OF rest, where love ab0unds,
"A perfect kingdom-Home.

PRESIDENTIAL coRns.
A Washingtnnian Who Has Attended thu
Toes OF 1Iany Presidents.

| A WashfngtDni0n Who Hos Attended thu
Toes OF 3Iany Preaidenss.
There is an old chiropodistin Wash
ineton who has doctored the corns o.
all the great men in the country for
the last third Of century. asked
him the other day how many Presi
dents had sat in his chair.
LET me see." he said. Il believe
I have had every ono Of them since
the time of Buchanan. l came tG
Washington in his administration
but had not much practice then.
| People used TO doctor their own corns.
| Several times year went to the
F.! White House while Lincoln was there.
Both he and his wife had very trouble
some feet. While was operating on
Lincoln once. lie admitted deleg alton
of clergymen who had come to see
him about extending the work of the
Christian Commission in the army.
They wero very much astonished
when they were shown into the room
where he sat on table with his bare
feet upon chair. and do not know OF
any other President who would have
received so dignified delegation
under similar circumstances. but his
time was very valuable and he did not
want to keep them waiting. He told
a number of funny stories about his
experience with corns and bunions.
and very soon the doctors of divinity
recovered from their astonishmcnt and
began to exchange views on the sub
jet. Then they sobered down and
presented their case to Mr.. Lincoln.
who promised to issue the order they
wanted.
..At another time I was with him
when Secretary Stanton came over
from the War Department with the
news of a great victory. and the Presi-
dent was SO pleased that he jumped
around the room with bare feet like a
boy.
Il never had much to do with john
son. and never treated him but once
that remember of. when he came to
the office. Grant had very good feet
They were quite small for man Of
his build. and he had little trouble
with them. I do not remember having
treated him more than three or four
times while he was President. al
though after he went out of Office he
came down here on several occasions.
He was visiting General B,ale. l be-
lieve it was after his trip around tho
world.
Hayes sent for me only once. but
Garfield was regular customer all
the while he was in Congress. and
after he became President. l suppose
Ihave his name twenty or thirty times
on my books. He was always troubled
with corns. The day before he was
assassinated colored man in foot
mans livery came into my office and
asked if could treat General Garfield
at once, as he was to leave town the
next day. had patient in the
chair. but he kindly consented to give
way for the President. who then came
up. and was here for half an hour.
Arthur never had any trouble with
his feet-he always was very careful
about his shoes-but l was sent for
several times while he was President
to treat members of his family or
guests. "-LeWiston (Me.) journal.

was one Of the social events of the win

in On the scene, a merry happy crowd
greeted his vision. The tables looked
neat and attractive, and the whole room

shelves filled with books and newspapers
made the picture the impression of a
home scene magnified to larger dimen-

the program was somewhat changed and
a merry group was noticed here and there
in social intercourse, that told plainly
OF an evening well spent The evening
enjoyment terminated by defamation

This is good news for Kansas, and the
carrying out of the proposition will be a
grand advertisement for this popular
place in the esteem of the travelling pub
lie and shippers, due in great measure

to run excursions of this character Kan
sas will be placed under additional obi
cations to the company, and our citizens
should arrange to cooperate with them,
and see to it that Dodge City is well adj
vertised on the trains before they enter
