famed because the perpetrator Of all
these outrages sugered from the in
| vention Of the devil. for no one could
devise so ingenious torture as
corns.
A man sets about to celebrate a
solemn occasion and decks himself
out in fine suit gaudy necktie and
a late creation in headgear. He in
dulges himself in loud socks and final
ly allows some grinning devil to put
lot of sick powder into pair Of
shoes which look pleasing. He sallies
forth and the world Is glorious to him
for few hours. Suddenly he i'm
AGNES the weather is unsuited too his
taste, his collar does not fit, his
trousers feel tight he develops a
thirst which neither water nor fire
water quenches; finally. after he loses
interest in his best friend, when he
discovers that the girl is not one
quarter so charming as he dreamed
he begins to realize that his shoes
are about three sizes too small. Never
did the picture of hell loom up so
largely as now. The corn sends lit
tie twinges of pain, then all the pave
ments get like boiling water, he ac-
quires a mincing step and grows
morose. He talks in monosyllables
and inwardly swears at any one who
makes him talk at all. Every bare
foot boy is the picture Of all the hap
piness in the world. The man is in
fine friendly and mentally conditioned
to kill or curse. The wonder is that
there are so few homicides under the
circumstances. Saints become sim
ners, mild hammered men are trans
formed into fire eating demcns and
there is an unpleasant memory asso-
ciated with contact of such men.
Pretty shoes have caused much
trouble in the world. A man who
wears sharp pointed shoe could
not have an opinion that was not
modified by his feet People see
dainty little girls wearing number
two canvass oxford and they imag-
inc that they will look cute in Fights.
Patent leather shoes on nice warm
day will make most people talk so

Of jooy. In winter they are colder
than icicles; no one wears them but
an imbecle who let's the shoe clerk
think for them.
Corns are the consequence Of folly
in the selection of foot wear. The
feet are as important as any other
part of the body and we should select
them with care, with. some idea Of
comfort, not fashion. The cure for
corns is common sense, but so long
as people are willing to sacrifice COM
fort for pride they will suffer and the
whole world must be imposed upon.
The next time you see a cross, crabld
person DO not get angry, butt pity
them and think that it is the corn and
not their disposition.
