THE EYE THE WINDOW OF THE
SOUL
Walter Irwin M O
The eye which can look and laugh
and dance and love and hate and
sneer that can woo and wound suc
cumb or subjugate retreat or triumph
Is indeed the window of the soul
and must be free from defects which
pervert the images pictured on the
brain or all our relations to the ex
ternal world are changed The spright
ly step becomes slow and halting fa
miliar faces pass without recognition
the appearance of vigor is quickly
changed to that suggesting decrepi
tude when vision fails Happily In
the march of science the needs of the
eye have not been overlooked This
intelligent speaking organ as It be
gins to fail can be misfitted abused
and ruined or it may be fitted with
correct lenses and preserved to ex
treme old age
Eyes of Children
Do you sometimes feel discouraged
that your little one does not seem to
do better in school Does the child
seem awkward in its play stumbling
ovor objects which other children
avoid Do you sometimes f eel that
tjere is Eoxnethiiig wrong wfUi the
child and that it must be stupid If
so I want to say to you as a careful
observer of children that many times
the sjmptoms described ore due en
tirely to defective eyesight
In many of the eastern cities prac
tical tests have recently been made
of the eyesight o children in the pub
lic schools and it was shown that a
much larger percentage or dullness
could be attributed to defective vision
than was thought possible heretofore
The Wearing of Glasses
A few years ago It was considered
almost a disgrace to wejSr glasses it
was almost as much as a gtrlTs majzl
nionial chances were worth to appear
with them on Spectacles were con
sidered a mark of deformity or of
old age and you seldom found a
young person willing to wear them
no matter how badly the glasses were
needed But fortunately for those
who are compelled to wear them
Dame Fashion came to the rescue and
set the seal of her august approval
upon them and lo all was cnangea
Glasses became the fad and many a
dainty patrician nose submitted to the
tiny golden yoke and many a pair of
lovely eyes quite free from any de
fect in sight looked out upon the
world through the little glass panes
and their fair owner went on her way
rejoicing in the knowledge that she
was in the fashion up to her eyes
This fad however had its day and
glasses were laid aside by those who
really had no need of them but the
fashion had done good as it had paved
the way for those less fortunate who
i V
OS
found them quite essential to their
comfort and well being Possibly the
day will never come again when
glasses will be considered disfiguring
In fact popular opinion has changed
and glasses are now regarded as lend
ing quite a distinguished appearance
to the countenance Possibly this is
due to the fact that they are worn by
so many professional and business
men who follow clerical work and
who have invested glasses with a dig
nity in the eyes of the public and
have helped to do away with the
prejudice that once existed
Defective eyes cannot in all cases
be cuved but they can be generally
assisted by the proper treatment or
the use of glasses although to say
that everyone who notices anything
wrong with their eyes as smarting
watering redness quivering of the
lids etc is in need of glasses Is
like saying that everyone who limps
needs crutches whether he may have
a broken leg or a corn on his toe
The accusation is sometimes made
nowadays that people are given
glasses when it is not necessary that
children never used to wear glasses
and they got along just as well

Kryptok Lenses Mean Quality
Opticians have labored hard upoa
the problems of their profession since
the time Franklin first evolved the
idea of a two part lens until with
modern scientific achievement the
Kryptok lens alone stands as repre

the merit of Kryptok quality to its
present standard of perfection

Colonel Churchill
of Cornish
T
TTR Rohnlnr In nnllHoc ia n
familiar phrase but the au
thor in politics is a phrase
which still possesses some
novelty in this country at least An
idea has prevailed that nil the authors
in politics are from Indiana The fact
that Bootli Tarkington and some other
Hoosiers noted In the literary world
have dabbled In politics forms a basis
for the Impression but it now proves
that Indiana lias no monopoly of the
article New Hampshire has an au
thor politician too and he is no less
a literary personage than Winston
Churchill Mr Churchills latest work
Coniston deals with the problem of
the political boss In Jethro Bass lie
has typified the well known character
who obtains control of party machin
ery and uses it for his own advantage
From writing about things he thought
ought to be reformed to taking an ac
tive hand in brhiging about the
changes advocated was easy and he is
a candidate for the Itepublican nomina
tion for governor on an anti boss anti
corporation platform E claims that
the government of New Hampshire
does not at present belong to the peo
ple of the state as it should but is in
effect the property of a single power
ful corporation the Boston and Maine
railroad and he says that if nominated
and elected he will see that the gov
ernment is returned to its rightful
owners
The New York Sun has termed Mr
Churchill a carpetbag politician
That is in allusion to the fact that he
Is an emigrant from another stafe and
sot log sfaee resided in
dbg teScfik fiio hnM of Folk- and Sh
ifty how could he be otherwise than
a reformer Admirers of Mr Church
ill have claimed that he placed St
Louis under a heavy debt of gratitude
when he helped to make it famous by
writing The Crisis and that after
the publication of this romance It only
needed the worlds fair to lift that

municipality to a pinnacle of glory
Though the book made him popular in
his home town Mr Churchill removed
from it to Cornish N H where a
summer colony of artists and literary
people has sprung up At first Mr
Churchill too expected to make New
Hampshire only his summer home but
he liked it so well he decided to stay
the year round He is a young man
still He will not be thirty flve until
November It is not yet ten years
since his first novel The Celebrity
appeared As a boj he had an ambi
tion to become an admiral of the navy
and so went to the Annapolis acad
emy but he found that writing rather
than fighting was his forte and so
turned aside to journalistic paths
He had hardly turned thirty when he
went to CoFnish His neighbors liked
him and he and his Avife entertained
them 500 at a time at their beautiful
home Harlakenden House As one of
the old inhabitants of Cornish ex
pressed it Cornish is lookin up
Twenty odd new houses hev been built
within th last half dozen years
Weve got the best sculptor in th
world and Mr Churchill ken stay in
harness with th best on em when it
comes to writin novels They tell me
his stories are ez real and lifelike ez
newly hatched chickens
So he was sent to represent the Cor
nish district in the lower house of the
legislature and served two terms It
was supposed that the colonel he has
been a colonel on the governors staff
would be a candidate for the state
senate and perhaps after that for con
gress But his admirers decided that
such promotion was too slow The
Lincoln Itepublican club proposed him
for the nomination of Its party for
governor and he accepted its support
He promises that if nominated and
elected he will work for these things
Abolition of the railroad lobby in the
legislature a direct primary law and
more equitable state taxation
The capital of New Hampshire Is
Concord In this connection the
young novelists wellwlshers say that
throughout his career his winning let
ter has been C As a young man he
edited the Cosmopolitan His first book
was The Celebrity and on Richard
Carvel he won his place in literature
Then came The Crisis and later
The Crossing and at Croydon he
found the hero for Coniston If the
luck of the Cs follows him he will In
place of Churchill of Cornish become
Churchill of Concord

Miss Liberty is to have a new dress

on her features by the salt air From
an artistic standpoint there is no ob

Therefore workmen will remove the

CHIEF WIIjKIE AJD HIS ROGUES GALXiERY
Pretty nearly every counterfeiter in
the world has his mug in the secret
service rogues gallery In Washington
At the head of this great detective
system is John E Wilkle Mr Wilkie
used to be a reporter in Chicago He
did his first Sherlock Holmsing In that
capacity A heavily insured grocery
store had been mysteriously burned
Suspicion pointed to its owner one
Arbuckle Arbuckle proved an alibi
and the police were bafiled Wilkie
wasnt He poked around the ruins un
til he found a tintype of Arbuckle with
a Philadelphia address on its back He
sent the picture to Philadelphia where
it was recognized as the photograph of
James Moan who had abandoned his
wife and eloped with a seamstress
Armed with this exclusive informa
tion Wilkie went to Arbuckle who
thought that all was discovered and
confessed
Wilkie in 1SS1 became city editor of
the Chicago Tribune and continued in
newspaper work in Chicago until he
was selected by Secretary Gage in
1S9S to command the governments de
tectives Mr Wilkie has a great fund
of stories showing the ingenuity of
shovers of the queer One is this
Dressed like a prosperous carpen
ter with a beam on his shoulder the
counterfeiter plods along the street In
front of a promising show window the
beam gets the better of him he
lurches he loses his balance crashl
Through the plate glass shoots the
beam Out comes the proprietor
Say you pay for that window
Boss I cant afford it
The deuce you cant You look pros
perous enough
Boss you can search me I aint got
a cent
And the fellow turns his pockets in
side out and inadvertently drops a
bank note which he picks up quickly
and attempts to conceal
Holy smoke A 100 bill exclaims
the owner of the window
But It aint mine boss
All right Ill have you arrested
anyway Come In here now and
Boss Ill tell you what Ill do Ill
give you 25 and call It square
Then the dealer joyous and well
pleased takes the counterfeit 100 note
and gives the crook 75 In good money
But even with such original schemes
as this the counterfeiter is tripped up
In the long run
