ft were produced by nature, ably assisted by Mr. and Mrs. Tight bhoes. I do not think a loose shoe often causes a corn to grow on a persons foot unless the shoe is allowed to run over until the weight of the body pressing the foot against the side of the shoe causes nature to interfere, with her "reward of merit," A corn doctor once said: "Corns grow on the feet of women as often as on those of men, but everything to the contrary notwithstanding, corns are a constitutional malady, and are not the result of wearing tight shots. Tight shoes make the wearer painfully aware of the presence of a corn but have nothing to do with its origin." If I hadn't once had one night's experience (when 1 was foolish) dancing in a mir of shoes As I intimated last week, this is a very tender subject.

One can hardly expect to do it justice without treading on some body's corns, but if I should exterminate the corns by treading on them, certainly I will stand excusftd. But tn confine ourselves to the corn- held, there is a ereat diversitv of opinion as to what causes corns. Some say tight shoes, some say loose ones, others say heavy shoes, but I am going to make a bold front and venture the outlandish assertion that nature makss corns There! now I have said it, can I prove it? Kind reader, if you will sit down and takp. off your shoes (just to give your corns a rest; will undertake to convince vou that nature makes corns. The first stage of a corn is liothinp' mnv nr ess than a callous, caused by pressure and friction.

Now keep one eve on tvf. Nature has made it necessary or us to walk on our feet and same nature has nrnvidp.l that in case we walk too much a CallOUS Will bfl t.liA rpsnlf. and if the walking is continued the callous will fiinally ripen and become a full- fledged corn. more than corn, so we cannot call it a Kansas corn), thus corns are possesed by the barefooted savage, or even the dumb brute. Now for argument's sake, please admit that you are convinced that nature makes corns.

Now if this be so, your common horse sense will compel you to admit that a shoe a size smaller than the foot will prove a wonderful assistant to nature in doing its work and beyond a doubt two-thirds of the corns possessed by civilized humanity a A.

He has traveled over considerable territory in the southwest, and declares he never saw such wheat and other crops before as in most of the territory he has been in. Being an intimate friend of Captain Woolson, he accompanied that officer to Oklahoma in advance of the settlers, not contemplating to "squat" there. He says that the day the territory was opened it was a sight equal to Missionary Ridge to see the people charge across the country, and in one respect superior, as there were no stragglers and all wanted to get to the front.

The citv council met in special ses sion last Monday night, for the purpose of formulating a franchise for water works that would be calculated to meet the ideas and wishes of the people.

The ast Inman franchise was resurrected and dissected section by section, to meet as near as possible the wishes of the council and citizens present, but it was easy to be seen that their views varied nearly as much as there were different councilmen. Several times during the session the pressure was brought so powerfully upon some of the "hydrants" that there seemed a likelihood of bursting the whole water works project. However, by wise and tender council, a franchise was finally agreed upon, by which, if any responsible company will accept, we are destined to have the best system of water works in Kansas. John A.
