The Eye
is the most dclccate , the most
sensitive of our senses , yet the
most neglected. Many of the
h'cadachs and nervous break
downs come directly from mus
cular insufficiencies of the Eye.
Properly Fitted
Glasses
relieve these muscular strains
and the sooner applied , the bet
ter. We arc on the alert for a
defect undiscovered by your
former Optican.

To Tell the Truth for a Year.
A professor in * the Chicago
university has put himself
under a bond of $25,000 , con
ditioned that he tell the exact
truth lor a year. We will bet
$4 that he violates the condi
tions of the bond within two
weeks unless he lights out for
the wilderness and finds some
place where the foot of man has
never trod , where he can live
the life of a hermit , seeing no
man and consequently convers.
ing with no man. To tell the
whole truth as we understand it
would be to absolutely conceal
nothing. It would be to tell
every man he meets just exactly
what he thinks of him and like
wise as to every woman. If he
really undertakes to do that
and doesn't get his face punched
in before a week goes by then
we miss our guess. Tom Me-
Neal.
An exchange Buys it is eney to
get rich if you want to badly
enough. Here is the way to do it :
" \Vork like fury 10 hours a diy at
least , run bnck and forth for your

terics if she doesn't have every
meal ready just when you get
ihoresleep ns little as you can and
live ; grasp every dollar in sight
nnd dig for some that you think
nre covered up ; pinch your pocketbook -
book , shrivel your soul and over
work your body , and you will
moke money. Yon will be rich
when you are old , if you live.
Henry Hull who lives near
Peru has a genuine Stradivarius ,
made in 1722. He purchased
the instrument at an auction
sale in Missouri a number of
years ago and did not realize
what a prize package he had
drawn in the lottery of chance
until one day he got to looking
at the violin and found who was
its maker and its venerable age.
There is no doubt as to its
genuineness and Mr. Hull
treasures it as carefully as pos
sible to protect so great a treas
ure. He has been offered , and
refused $2500 forjhe instrument.

Mrs. Perla Beck , 819 0 street ,
is the owner of a violin which
bears inside its back the brand
"Antonius Stradivarius Ore.
raonenti Facicbat Anne 1718. "
The violin , which is believed by
Mrs. Beck to be a genuine
"Strad , " came from South Da
kota , where her brother , llev ,
R. M. Wood , now of Chillicothe ,
111. , secured it. A violin bear
ing a similar mark was recentl }
heralded in Broken Bow ant
the claim that the Broken Bov
violin was probably the onlj
genuine Stradivarius in the
state led to the disclosure o
Mrs. Beck's valuable relic.
A\arkct Letter.
Kansas City Stock Yards ,
The good start made by the
attle market first of last wei k
vas lollowed by strong markets
11 week , and the close was 15
o 25 cents higher on all kinds
f killing cattle with the ex-
option of calves , which declined
5 to 50 conts. Stockers and
eeders moved slowly after
[ "uesday , and the market on
hem closed with a small lesser
or the week , while the number
eld over at the end of the week
icreased 1200 head as compared
vith the close of the previous
vcek. Cattle supply today is
000 head here , and light at
ther points , market 10 to 15
igher on steers , strong to 15
igher on she stuff , and the
usual Monday strength is shown
y stockers and feeders. The
jest steers sold at $5.75 last
veek , reaching that figure on
our different days , top today
it uoon $5.65 , with some better
.teers . still in the pens. Bulk
t the steers bring $5 to $5.00 , a
hird consignment of the Lock-
uirt steers today , sixteen cars ,
going at $5.00 , as compared
th $5.-15 last Monday , and
S5.25 two weeks ago. Cows

o $4.75 , feeders $4.35 to $5.
The general market is better
ban ten days ago , and under
normal commercial conditions
sharp advances might be expected -
pected , but from the present
outlook traders view the situ ,
tion with more or less conserva-
ism.
ism.Hogs
Hogs made a gain of 10 cents
ier cwt. last week , after con
stant iluctuations , closing the
week with a rousing market on
Saturday. The strong finish
ailed to attract any great run
today , only 3000 head here ,
which is taken to indicate that
10 heavy reserves remain in the
lands of feeders. The market
opened 5 higher today , but
closed a shade easier , top $4.70 ,
bulk of sales § 4.50 to $4.05 ,
pigs worth § 3.80 to $4.10.

lave gone further toward the
rent in the last week , account
of the strong demands on pack
ers for fresh pork.
Sheep and yearlings made
good gains last week , especially
ewes which are 50 to 00 cents
above two weeks ago. Lambs
ilso gained 15 to 25 cents dur
ng the week , small receipts
being the dominating feature.
The supply todoy is again mod

higher , lambs at $0.80 to $7 ,
"air to good ewes $5.35 , year ,
lings $0.30 , wethers $5.50. This
was not the full test on either
ewes , wethers or yearlings , as
these classes reached $5.00 ,
$5.75 , and $0.30 , respectively ,
late last week.
No Excuse for Mistakes
This is the way the editor of
the Old Town ( Me. ) Enterprise
bears up under the tribulations of
newspaper life : "We apologize
for all mistakes nmde in former
issues and say they were inexcu
sable , as all an editor has to do
is to hunt news and clean the
rollers and set type , sweep the
floor and pen short items and fold
papers , and write wrappers , and
make the paste , and mail papers ,
and talk to visitors , and dis
tribute type , and carry waterand
saw wood , and read proofs , hunt
the shears to write editorials , and
dodge the bills , and dun delin
quents ) and take cussings from
the whole force , and tell our sub
scribers that we must have money
we say that we've no business
to make mistakes while attending
to those little matters and getting
our living on hopper-tail soup
flavored with imagination , and
wearing old shoes and no collar
and a patch on our pants and
obliged to turn a smiling coun
tenance to the man who tells us
our paper ain't worth a dollar
anyhow , and that he could make
a better one with his eves shut. "

1 FOR HAPPINESS 1
By SUSAN D. RODBINS
( Copyright. )
There wns a. heavy frown on Matil
da's face and her atom sllonco was
ominous. Her brother and his two
children felt her mood and ate break
fast quietly without speaking. All the
sunshlno and cheer of out-of-doors
were shadowed by the clouds within.
And though the woodland In view
from the dining room windows was
glorious In Its tints of autumnal color
ing , all within doors In the llttlo homo
was as somber as an empty church.
"What Is the use In living ! " Matilda
burst out at length. "And In such an
old , dull place as this. I'd about as
lief die. Why can't you sell the farm ,
Henry , and inovo Into civilization ? "
Henry's face wore a hunted look ,
but ho spoke patiently. "I've told you
a good many times. It would not
bring near what It Is worth , and be
sides , I can make a living on It ; and
you know I couldn't stand working in
a factory. "
"A living ! " Matllua laughed scorn
fully. "A bare existence , I should call
It. Yes , you needn't speak ; I know
wo all have enough to cat and wear ;
but wo don't live. Wo Just get along
from day to day. Wo never see anyone
to speak to from week's end to week's
end. I never heard of imch a place. "
"You must admit that you aren't
very neighborly. " Henry spoke mild
ly. "All the women about hero have
called on you and you haven't been to
see any of them once. "
"I don't llko them. They are coun
trified and dowdy. The country Is no
place to live In , anyway. I could stand
It In summer , but In winter It will
seem llko being burled alive. Now
when I WOP nnrnlnc money In the city
I used to live , though 1 didn't know
when I was well off. Hut there ! what's
the use to look back ? I've got to stay
hero , and that's all there Is about It"
Silence fell again , and when break
fast was finished Henry went out to
his work. Ho stooped a llttlo , and
looked tired and worn.
It was the spring before that Hen
ry's wife bad died. Matilda was a
bookkeeper in a factory at the tlmo.
The work was hard for her , and what
"I Don't Like Them. "
with the headaches that had begun to
trouble her , and the hot weather com
ing on , the outlook had been depres
sing. So it was with a feeling of re
lief that she gave up her position and
went to keep house for her brother
and his children. For a while , as long
as the pleasant weather lasted , she
had been contented. The work was
not hard , and the change Improved her
health. She did not care for the
neighbors , and held herself aloof. As
fall caino on she began to be discon
tented. Henry could not let her have
as much money as slm had boon ns < > d
to. She had a good deal of sowing to
do for the children , and when they
went to school she was lonely.
Things had gene from bad to worse
till , as she expressed it , she was des
perately blue all the tlmo , and ex
plosions like the ono of this morning
had come to ho of froqnont occur
rence. She went about her morning
work in a listless way. The children
watched her furtively. The girl put on
her things and went out of doors to
play till school tlmo. The boy , who
was the elder , seemed restless and
anxious. At length ho spoko. "Aunt
Mattie , " ho said , "is grandpa very
poor ? "
"No , not very , " she answered short
ly. "Why do you ask ? "
"I was thinking. " The boy hesitat
ed and then wont on desperately. "If
papa should die , I thought Ethel and I
could go to grandpa's to live. I know
you wouldn't want us. And then you
could go back to the city and earn
lots of money and have good times , as
you used to. "
Matilda gazed at him with dilated
oyes. "Who's been talking to you
about dying ? " she asked sharply.
"Nobody ; only the other night I
heard papa talking In his sleep , and
ho said ho wlbhed ho was dead llko
mamim , and perhaps ho would bo
pretty soon. Ho didn't know that I
heard him , but I did , and I cried all
the rest of the night. "
Matilda said no more. She waa
shocked. She noticed the child's face ,
which looked pinched and worried and
careworn.
All the forenoon she brooded over
what ho had said. Why should Henry
' "Why , what's the trouble ? ' I pays.
'Ho laughed sort o' shopplah. 'It
sounds funny , but It ain't , ' ho nays.
'Margaret's taken to smoking. '
" 'Smoking ? ' I says.
" 'Vos , smoking , ' ho says. 'I don't
wonder you're astonished. I was my
self , 1 tried to get her off the notion ,
but eho won't nivo it vip. She tsald
she thought It would bo BO soclablo to
sit by the llro evenings nnd smoke to
gether , and Blio wanted to llko all
the things I did. I told her it would
make her as sick ns n horse , but ulio
said she'd got real mild tobacco , and
anyway she guessed everybody that
learned to smoke wan nick nomtf.
She said I must teach her how to do
It , and if you'd bollovo mo nho
brought out her tobacco and some
pipes she'd bought. Well , 1 naw she
was set on doing it , and I thought the
quickest way to euro her was to lot"
her have her way , but I tell yon I
was on nettles all the tlmo for fear
some of the neighbors would drop In
during the lesson , as she called it.
She took n few whiffs , nnd then she
turned as white as chalk , and I had to
carry her to the sofa and open all the
windows to air out. Well , I thought
that would bo the last of It , but the
next night when I went to take my
usual smoke , she had to go through
the same performance. She says she
thinks sho'll got the hang of it pretty
soon , and I declare I bollovo she will ,
for she hold out longer this second
tlmo. '
"Ho stopped nnd sot there looking
down at the floor , an moody and trou
bled as could bo. I had hard work
to keep from laughing.
" 'Well , ' I says , 'your grcot-aunt.Iano
used to smoke , and I don't know'a it's
worse now than 'twas In them dayn.
And there was old Mrs. Plummor '
" 'Great Scott ! Aunt 'Sonath , ' ho
broke out. 'Do you think I want my
wife to bo llko these old smoke-dried
specimens ? '
" 'Perhaps wo can think up some
way out of the trouble , ' I says , sooth
ing llko.
" 'I've tried everything I can think
of to make her change her mind. 1'cr.
haps yon could do nomothlng with
her , ' ho says.
"I don't bellovo much in mixing
up In married folks' troubles , ' I says ,
'and besides , why shouldn't Bho smoke
If she wants to ? Of course I don't
see why she should want to , but then ,
I don't see why yon should , elthor. "
"Pretty soon ho stopped tramping
nnd went and stood by the window. 'I
suppose if I should glvo It up , she
would , ' ho said.
"A night or two after that 1 see him
again for a minute or two. 'Mar
garet's stopped smoking , ' ho says with
a grin.
" 'How'd yon do It1 I says. 'Ilavo
you glvo It uptoo _ ? '
" 'Margaret thinks I have , ' ho says ,
and ho looked sly. I waa dlsgustedor
than over with him , and dlaoourngod ,
too. There our plan was going all to
pieces , and Margaret and I wcro both
beat
"Dut the next day I found out wo
wa'n't quite so boat. Every Thursday
they come over to supper , and early
Thursday afternoon Margaret rome ,
bringing her work in a bag. She
looked kinder white and miserable ,
and I sco she know as well as I did
that Paul was smoking on the Bly.
"Wo didn't say a word about It , but
.111 hour or HO before supper-time fiho
folded up her work nnd put her hand
into her bag and took out a clay plpo
and some tobacco.
" 'For the landsakcs ! ' ! says , 'what
are you doing ? '
" 'Paul thinks I'vo stopped , ' she says ,
and she tried to look sly. I never glvo
Margaret credit for seeing Into things
so far till that minuto. She filled her
plpo and went and got a match and
lit it.
" 'I thought I hated tobacco before , '
she says as she begun to smoke , 'but
I never did till I began to uao It. How
long before I'll llko It , I wonder ? ' and
she laughed in a way that made me
want to cry. I didn't realize oven then
what she was trying to do , and that
she was playing her trump card.
"Sho got whiter and whiter , till I
was pretty well scared , nnd then she
put down the pipe with Blinking hands
and I holpcd her to the old lounge.
"There she lay with her eyes shut.
I didn't BOO how 'twas over coming
out right , and it worked on my feel
ings so I 'most dropped tears Into the
simper.
"When Paul come In , ho looked BO
healthy and handsome that. I declare
I almost hated him for'a minute.
saw Margaret , and a scared look came
into his faco. 'What's the matter ? ' ho
cries.
" 'She's sick , ' 1 says , an short ns 1
could.
"Ho wont nnd looked at her. 'What
Is It , dear ? ' ho says.
' "It'll bo over in a llttlo while'nays
Margaret , nnd I sco the tears creeping
out under her long eyelashes.
"Paul glanced around and sco the
clay pipe. For a minute ho stood
there , looking kinder guilty nnd mean
Then'ho Just dropped on his knees
'sldo of the old lounge , nnd 1 went out
and left "em there.
"Once in awhllo I could hoar the
low murmur of their voices , and then
after a long tlmo Paul came to find
mo. I tell you there was different
looks on their faces , nnd wo propped
Margaret up In an easy chair and she
ate a llttlo mlto of toast while the
rest of ns had our supper. She waa
palo , but smiling and happy , and they
couldn't either ouo of 'cm keep their

"That was 'most two years ago , and
Paul and Margaret ain't smoked a

people's dogs , when he is paid
a regular salary for his services ?
It is lime this cruel , barbarous
and foolish business of killing
these poor dumb and innocent
animals was brought to a close

exist. If it must continue let
all have a hand and the word gp
