hostility. They regarded Mr.. Brown
as a fussy Old gentleman who was
easily angered, and the older members
of the family took little notice of their
neighbours ways.
The youngest scion, however, Tommy
by name, took upon his young Shout
ders the task of rcvenging the wrongs
of his fan lily, and many were the five
cent pieces that old Hiram Brown en-
deavored to pick up from the dusty
street, only to find them so hot as to be
unbearable to the human touch, and to
see Tommy Davis chubby, roguish face
peeping from an area court or n m
venient alley. while the shrill, high
laughter that issued from their hiding

witnessed by more than n fu%n-loving

The February Wide Awake

Comes promptly to hand with an exceed
ingly varied and entertaining list of con-
tents. We wonder if the parents of our
boys and girls really know what an ex-
cellent and absorbing story Mrs. Mary
Mcintosh Cox is giving US in her serial
Jack Brereton's Three Months Serv-
ice?' While the young people readit with
growing interest and imbibe lessons IN
honor, manliness and devotion to duty
from its stirring incidents, not one OF the
elder generation but can live again the
dramatic scenes of 1861 which it por-
trays, when homes were rent and INK
ious hearts were over-strained. The
story appeals to all. So, too, though In
a different way, does the Arabian story
of pluck and endurance, THE Lance OF
Kanana," thrill its readers month by
month. The camel race over the desert
described in the February humber is
full of a force and fire hat stirs the blood
of every reader. Among h important
contributions to the February WIDE
AWAKE is the last story, THE Sign OF
the Prophet JONAH" ever written by
Eliot Mccormick, one of New York's
promising newspaper men, untimely
cut off by death scarcely six months
since. Mrs. Harriet Maxwell-Converse
has another of her interesting Indian
articles with Seventy Chiefs at
Ohswekan;" Mrs Maud Howe Ell
lott talks delightfully."- about Some
Horses hat l have KNOWN" Mrs
Jane G. Austin gives the charm
ing story of "Lora Standish's

of adventure will enjoy Lieut.. Col.

Pickney Huse's sketch of a storm "On

Woods Kentucky pioneer story I'm

smile. THE First Steamboat and "A
Pet Seal" are short instructive papers,
and the department Men and Things"
is full of readable items. The poetry
of the number is excellent. The pic
lures in the number are illustrative and
characteristic, and the feeling that the
children of this generation who have
the possibilities of regularly reading SO
helpful and elevating a magazine as
WIDE AWAKE are blessed indeed, is en-
phasized again by a perusal of the Feb
ruary issue.

The exception above named, how
ever, was a source of much discOm-
future to our hero. He was in love
with Miss Helen Davis, and, to the peo-
pie of bennington, the town in which
the Browns and the Davises had lived
from Jed's earliest remembrance, this
explained all. For old Hiram Brown
had held Il grudgc against the Davises
for many years. He openly insulted
them by not recognizing them on the

the young scapegoat directed toward

RUSSIA.

Matters in the famine stricken dis
trictS of Russia are growing worse.
In some instances the peasants exaS-
perated by hunger and sickness have
turned against the doctors, and the
physicians are fleeing in terror. The
plague stricken people are tearing up
the railroad tracks so that there is an
absolute panic all over that section.
The physicians are unable TO cope with
the grippe and it is %dtcimating its
thousands. 1t shows that all the pub
liShed remedies for the grippe have
proven useless. The best remedy is
that which will stimulate the stomach,
incite the kidneys to action, and
Soothe the intlamed tissues Of the
lungs. There is nothing that does this
so well as REID'S GERMAN COUGH
AND KIDNEY CURE. II contains no
opium or poison, but it will accomplish
all that is claimed for it. When you
have the premonitory symptoms of
grippe get this remedy and take it i'll
small but frequent doses and it will
cure you. Get it of any dealer.

perfect, is Adapted Cor seeing both
far and near objects without any con
scious effort. But tho number of
perfect eyes is small compared with
those that are imperfect
Most eyes arc either too long or too
short, 30 that the rays Of light are
not focused distinctly upon the rctina
without an EFFORT I'd the muscles OF
accommodation TO do 30, and that
effort causes strnin.
An eye that Is too short Is called
hypermetropic, or farsightcd. ono
that is too long is called myopic, or
nearsighted. II is by the means of
glasses that these do'ects aro collect
ed and objects brought TO u focus
upon tho retina without the strain
which otherwise takes place.
People frequently have no con
cious defect in vision. They seo all
right. Still they have burning OF
tho eyes, and sometimes sites OF

vision for near or far objects.
Many headaches are also caused b,
defective vision. These cases can al
