Corset. Anec. the Eyes.

The true oculist doesn't always pre-
scribe glasses. For example, young
woman whose eyesight had become
very much impaired was ordered, first

filings drilled out of her teeth. She
was told that she might take her choice
between having the holes stopped up
with gold and having all the teeth
drawn. She was next ordered to stop
wearing corset, and next she was sub
iected to q course of treatment to allay
n stomach trouble, sort of mild dys>
pepsia. The doctor told her that,
though glasses might give her temper
airy help, pathological treatment must

made his hearers believe him because
he first made himself believe.
+ In appearance Daniel Dougherty was
somewhat unique. His eyes were OF
the Irish blue, but in his voice there
was no trace of the Celtic tongue, UNI

his carcssing intonations. His manner
was always marked by peculiar

audience and the opportunity to speak

A DREADFUL LEAP.

Mother, Her Child in Her Arms, Jumps
From the Third-story Window.
Mrs Margaret Doane, a handsome middle
aged woman, the wife Of produce dealer doing
business in Washington market, threw herself,
with her 6ve-year-old son Frank, from the
third story Of her residence, No. 259 Elworth
street. Hoboken, N. j., Thursday morning
1t created intense excitement in the neigh
borhood, whore the residents are mostly
wealthy New York business men.
About $50 o'clock in the morning Mrs.
Dosne left her room and entered the apartment
where her husband and child were fast
asleep. Without awakening her husband
she lifted the boy from the bed and
carried him to the parlor window and
hastily opened the blinds. The little fellow
was awake by this time and struggled and
screamed in his mothers arms. Mr.. Doane
was awakened by the child's screams and
was Mortified to see his wife leap
from the window to the sidewalk.
Policeman Ryan, who quickly arrived on the
scene. summoned an ambulance, and mother
and son were taken to St. Mary's Hospital,
where the physicians said there was little
chance for others recovery.
About two months ago Mrs. Doane gave birth
to child and since then she has acted strangely.
Three weeks ago, accompanied by her twenty
one year-old daughter, she called on Police
Captain Hayes and asked 70 be committed to
some institution, as she was often seized with q
desire 10 kill herself and her children.

proprietors Of several alleged speak easies. ="
which have been said BY the judges to exercise
more evil influence over the morals Of the
community than the regularly licensed places
Several Of these places were located in the
county not far from Soldiers Home in the
limits Of the one-mile district. where no liquor
is supposed to be sold In most cases Of that
kind the police found it difhcult 70 secure testi-
mony TO take the cases into court but in sew
eral cases they did succeed and the proprietors
were nned amounts ranging from Sos TO sl50
and costs.
In only one case tried recently Was there .
charge Of selling liquor TO inmates Of Soldiers
Home and that case failed, although the Of
ncers were eye witnesses to enough TO warrant
the jury in returning q verdict of guilty of
keeping an unlicensed bar, and the fine i'm
posed was paid.
