Says the Earth Is Flat.

It is something of reproach upon cultured Boston that a man living next door to it, Charles w, Morse of Brookline, believes that the world is fiat as a pancake. Moreover he backs up his conviction with the offer to give thousand dollars to the man who can prove the world Is round It is not surprising that there are men in this day and generation who be- lieve in the flat theory. but it is re- markab1e that one of them should have been able to make a fortune.

 People have all sorts of ways of kissing each other goodby, but c young woman with red hair and a black dress put through a farewell stunt the other afternoon that sur prised even the hardened brakemen.
 She kissed him at the gate Evi- dently he was her sweetheart. She drew back into the crowd and watched him fondly as he boarded the 3:45 Burlington. He went into the Pull man and presently appeared on the steps. AS the train drew slowly past the gate the girl suddenly pushed past the gateman and ran out on the tracks. Her sweetheart was waiting, standing eagerly on the Pullman steps, He leaped from the steps. folded her tenderly many times as the train pull ed out and then turned just in time to catch the rail of the last car and leap aboard. The girl watched him until the train was out of sight. It was a touching spectacle.
 And next time," said the bad gate man viciously, I'll see to 1t that the last vestibule is closed"

Weary Feet

I wonder how many people who suf- fer torture with their feet in hot weath- CT, agonies of aching burning, swell ing and extreme tenderness, know that raw potato peeled and cut in half and well rubbed over them every night and morning, will cure the trou- ble? Or, failing that. a good daily soaking in strong cold tea? Or that the worst soft eorIs will yield to a treatment of extraordinary salt ap- piled night and morning?

 The tiny corner is In the center of one of the busiest localities of the city. The high price paid for it has undoubtedly been influenced by the fact that the Pennsylvania station is only a block to the west.
