Brief Visit to her Husband.
Milburn House, Buffalo, n. Y, Sept.
e.-Mrs. Mckinley was admitted to
the sick ON Monday morning and
had brief stay with her afflicted
husband. The veil of domestic priva-
cy is, of course, thrown over the de-
tails of the meeting. Mrs. Mckinley
bore up well and displayed the same
fortitude which has characterized
her, as we'll as the president, since the
tragic event occurred. Although there
have been statements that Mrs. Nc
Kinley has not been apprised of the
manner in which the president was
injured, it can be stated, positively,
that she is fully aware that he was
shot, although it has not been neces-
sary to dwell upon the narrowing de-
tails of the affair.

through the heart and once through
the head.

CHIRoPoDIST AND PATIENT.
Story Told OF One of the Craft by a
BrOSbcaten Sufferer.

lmbccility in the matter Of footgear is
no new thing. and the growth of the corn
upon the neither eXtremitieS of man and
woman through the ages has, it may be
safely assumed, been perennial. Hence
the corn cutters business can boast re-
spectacle antiquity and for the modest
minded men who were once engaged in
it that boast would seem to have sufiiced.
But these men duly cut their last corns
and passed beyond such things. New
opponents of the art arose. The corn
cutter, whose modest proffer as | read it
in an ancient advertisement, was "the re-
moval of all corns from both feet" for
the modest sum of > shillings, became a
chiropodist. The chiropodist blossomed
into "chiropodist to the royal family" and
very soon began to put an enhanced price
upon his services. have heard of one

TOM HOOD AS A JOKER.
Once He Get His Wife Into a Comical
Controversy.

1t is one of the irones of fate that
wit or humorist is sometimes married to
prosaic, jest proof woman or an ina gina
tive, humor loving woman to literal
minded, matter of fact man. 1t has been
suspected that Laurence Sterne, the crea-
tor Of my Uncle Toby" and Shandy and
Corporal Tim had such a wife as the for
mer, by whom his sly, rich bits of Rabe
laisian humor-his medieval double en-
tendres, his quolibets and quid pro quos
modelled on Scarron ami exploding like
pyrOtechnics-were not only unapprcciat-
ed, but almost unnoticed. How fortunate
it was for that prince OF testers, Thomas
Hood, that, with his fondness for both
verbal and practical jests, he was married
to woman of the sweetest temper. whO
though often cheated by them, could join
in the laugh which they provoked, even
when at her own expense.

coast Hood gave his wife some useful

her knowledge, Mrs. Hood was prepared

men, one of whom soon afterward called

but plaice, which had the ominous spots,

her fears that the fish were not fresh. In
vain did the fsherwoman insist that they
were only just out of the water Mrs
Hood, in the innocence of her heart and
the pride of conscious knowledge, was
ready.
My good woman, it may be as you say,
but | should never think of buying any

astonished fisherwoman with shout
