ist-that Ibis corns made him almost
as much trouble as congress-" a SEN
timent which ex-President Roosevelt
might have echoed, but he never did
because he didn't have any corns, and
was, in fact, declared to be the only
president since Lincoln who hasn't
been patron of this establishment.
Anyhow, the register contains the
autographs of Johnson, Grant. Hayes,
Arthur, Cleveland. Harrison and Nc
Kinley. Garfield wasn't president long
enough to develop corns, though the
expert opines that at the rate he was
kicking people out during the short
time he served as president, he would
soon have required attention.
The book contains the autographs
of thousands of cabinet ministers,
senators, members of congress and
other famous national characters.
Casual inspection OF it would almost
enforce the generalization that corns
and public service are seemingly in
separable.

IT'S the ''possum cabinet now" with

The wit who invented that phrase,
after President Taft's exploits in the
south made the southern tree-climber
sort of national emblem, has re-
ceived the backing of Webster on top
of that of newspaper paragraphers.

on his hands looked in the dictionary the

word "philander.' The meaning given
was "a South American opossum "
