Rev Theodore Wayte, curate at Cheetham, struggles with poverty while a wealthy rector profits from tithes. A seaside excursion with his wife ends in selfless heroism as a stranger saves his wife from a fatal train collision, dying in the act.
A chiropodist claims most corns stem from leather shoe friction. Cloth shoes fit snugly while aiding ventilation and soft contact at the toes, reducing pressure and friction. The material’s yielding nature helps feet overcome pressure more easily than hard leather. The article notes no feather toppers on shoes and cites a copper mining fact from 1859 about 603 tons mined in Minnesota by forty men per year.
A Chicago page features a comic tale about Jimpson chasing a notorious Ricketts story in an office. He clings to the joke through the day, meeting a visitor and a lawyer, then pursues the punchline at five. A sharp stranger claims the same origin, revealing a mistaken start to the tale. The piece also carries brief jokes from Boston to New York, including parish coal funds and witty asides about love and manners.
