eminent Boston critic, lin truth most

as a vehicle for laughter is a lot of
nonsense. IL is very excellent nonsense,
and bears some relation to common

laughed at. II is a play for those who
enjoy witty things rather than silly
ones. 1t does not reflect the alleged
funny columns of the daily papers, it
owes none of It's fun to local or topical
illusions. it Is said to be a funda-
mentally funny play: its many sur
prises startle one. n follow one upon
the other in sue quick succession as
to scarcely allow the spectator to catch
his breath for laughing. The coming
of MIR. Bugle' is more than an ordi-
nary event. and the promise II holds
out is as artistic as IL Is amusing. for

PEOPLE SHOULD TEST THEIR EYES.
Defect In Sight Should Be Attended To At the
Earliest Possible Homent.

In conversation with Or. Seymour the
following facts were learned, which M
doubt will be a surprise to a great
many people. He makes the statement
that apparently few people who seek
his assistance have eyes that are per-
feet mates n that in many cases
people learn from him for the first time
that they have an eye that Is practi-
cally useless, n still they might have
known this themselves had they taken
the pains to have covered each eye in
turn and tried the sight for reading Or
for looking 70 the room. Opticians
often meet people who have been de-
pending wholly upon the sight of n
eye for years and are unconscious of
the fact until the good gives out
from being overtaxed. Experiences of
this kind are quite frequent and IL
seems strange hat people do not give
a little more serious thought to this.
the most precious OF our senses. and
ascertain for themselves IL their eyes
are both alike. Their there would be
little occasion for people TO come to
the sudden realization that they were
really minus an eye. Parents should
give this particular attention when
their children complain OF thefr eyes
hurting them. And by simply putting
a card over each eye in turn and a lit
tie close questioning, parents will lind

really have hut one y which Is per-

eight days longer and those who have
delayed calling on him regarding their

Horses and Alleged Ru~stIers.

Police Captain Dawson and Detec-
tive Murphy were last evening looking
for a man named Phil Carr, who. IL
was reported to Chief Mulholland yes

to a man named Chevier. As "A result
of their investigation they found the
horse had strayed away N was taken
up by Carr and that yesterday two
cowboys returned the animal and de-
manded SEQ. The officers told the own-
er TO pay nothing for the return of
the horse, as his having been taken up
was doubtless for the purpose of ex-
torting money. The officers say rust
lers are becoming very numerous and
there are instances of horses having
been taken In and rewards demanded
for their return.

CALIFORNIA AND THE WAR
Times Are Hard and Men Down There
Want tn Enlist.

Pat Conlon and family returned yes
terday from their trip to California.
He spent the last five months In the
southern part of hat state, n Mr..
Conlon returns much improved In
health. He says the war excitement
Is strong i'm California, and there are
thousands of idle men who regard the
opportunity to enlist I'm the army as
a godsend. Times were apparently
never so hard in Southern California
as they are at present. The hay and
grain crops are complete failures. n
the fruit has been badly damaged i'm
many localities by the frost. Ranch
ers are disposing Of their live stock be-
cause they cannot afford TO buy feed for
them, and the only market for horses
is at the soap factories. With this
condition Of affairs. the war and the
opportunities for enlistment are re-
garded as a boon, n men who have
long vainly sought employment, n
who looked hopelessly to the future. are
anxious to enlist as a means of earn
ing a living.
