The Chiropodist and the Curious Sidewalk Problem

An essay recounts a chiropodist's reply on corns and a man who walks to diagnose how sidewalk slopes affect foot pain. Through careful observation of shoe wear, pavement grade, and direction, the story concludes slanted sidewalks toward the gutter cause pressure toward the curb side, explaining alternating foot distress. The article also covers a Sunday school anniversary at State Street Methodist Church with a full program and celebratory events.

Do I understand you to say that a burglar was at the stairs

The barrister questions the principal witness in Pearson's Weekly as he demands a full truth from the shaken man. The exchange centers on whether the witness rose after hearing a noise, lit a candle, and failed to see the intruder, with the witness insisting his wife stood in front of him.
