CARTER MEDICINE co. WINS.
Obtains Injunction in Case Involving
Stimulation of Labels.

Brent Good, president of the Carter
Medicine Company, yesterday received
q telegram from his lawyers in Chi
cago, informing him that a final in
junction, with costs. had been granted
against the Chicago Label and Box
Company. This company makes a spe-
cialty of manufacturing labels, boxes,
etc., for druggists. The Carter Com
pany has been following them through
the courts for two years on the com
plant that the label company was
making simula tions of the labels Of
Carriers Little Liver Pills. They have
now obtained final injunction, with
costs, and the costs are very large, as
the case has been submitted TO a Mas
ter in Chancery for final accounting.
The Carter Medicine Company has
been the first and only one to prosecute
printers or engravers who have Pre-
pared such labels and wrappers. 1t
marks new departure in infringement
cases, and their victory is one of great

Robert Frank, the well-known. artist, is 9
self-made man, and not until he become
self.suppo -ting did he have a chance to
pursue the regular studies which most peo
Die have in earlier life, says the Philadelphia
Post. When he began drawing for q. living
his workmanship was so excellent that he
had no difficulty in securing orders. One
day he delivered some sketches to an EN-.
ployer, who said: ''By the by, Frank, ]

''You know what a kangaroo is, of course
Frank must have been thinking of an

HOW TO ADJUST EYEGLASSES.
Instructions by an Optician Which
His Customers Will Not Al
ways Heed.

"Oh, yes" said the optician as he fit-
ted a pair of glasses on the nose of a
customer. There is an art in putting
on nose glasses and at least half of the
people who wear glasses don't know
how to put them on. The result is that
the moment they begin to perspire
little or when they shake, their heads
or make any unusual movement, off go
the glasses smash on the floor or more
often the sidewalk. Of course we OPP
ticians don't kick, for that very thing
gives us good part of our business.
There is a good profit in putting in now
lenses. Really the only sensible glasses
to wear are spectacles. They fasten
over the ears and they never fall OF
and they don't get out of adjustment
They fit on the same place every time
and the eye looks through the center
of the lens as it should look. But most
people think that spectacles make them
look older or something like that and
they insist on nose glasses. Then they
don't know how to put them ON and if
theS don't get them just right the eyes
don't look through the center of the
lenses, and if there is any disorder of
the vision other than nearsightedness
the improperly adjusted glasses often
do more harm than good, to say moth
ing of the expense from breakage.
Now, madam, IL you feel you must
wear glasses instead of spectacles take
them like this"
He took the glasses and held them
perfectly level before him, says the
New York Sun. "Stretch them wide
apart and approach the nose like this"
He advanced them toward the tip OF the
nose; nov raise them up So" Still
holding the glasses SO that the springs
stretched wide over the nose he adj
vanced them upward until the upper
points of the clips were directly under
the eyebrows. "Now let 60" said he.
The glasses were on firm. "Shalke your
head" said he. The customer shook
her head. The glasses wiggled, but did
not fall off.
"You see" said the optician, you
cant shake them off. They sit perfect
~ and just fit the eye. You don't want
anything better than that, do you?
Now try putting them on yourself"
The customer put them off and at
tempted to put them back. She got
them on askew.
NO! no! mol" said the optician,
that's all wrong" and he showed her
over again how it should be done. 1t
took six times trying before the Gus
toner mastered the knack and went
away happy.
She'll be back in month";" said the
optician, wanting one or two new
lenses to replace her broken ones. Now
I've shown her exactly how to put them
on, but she'll get careles, after awhile
and will forget all about it. ! can al
ways tell about that by the way they
catch on to the knack of adjusting
them when they first put them on.
People who have TO wear glasses at al
should wear spectacles. But if they
will wear nose clips they must learn
how to adjust them or they'll ruin
their eyes and break their pockets at
the same time. Women are no worse
than men in that. I've gotone custom
er who paid me last year $50 for new
lenses. That's about one dollar a week,
and / can't get him to wear spectacles

THE BOY IN THE ST. UMS.


In the damp he plays,
Where no sunlight falls;
Doomed to pass his days
Girt about by walls
Where the dust and smoke
Warp stunt and choke,
Where God is forgot,
Where men are supreme,
Where faith enters not
And hopes but a dream;
Where never blade of green grass grows,
Where a ptlful patch OF blue sky shows,
Where, instead Of the song Of the brook, Is
The ribald shout and the blasphemous
word
Where he follows his benz
Robbed OF boyish giee,
Where God never meant
That boy should be.
H.
The bros are singing,
He does not hear them;
The buds are springlng
He's nowhere near themi
There's promise there
And Joy In the air,
There's life in the breeze,
There's strength in the sod;
There's glee In the trees,
There's faith in God
Out there where the wind blows over green
hills,
Where the cattle are wading in musical
rills.
Where the woodpecker drums. sending
echoes afar,
Where the cherry trees white and the
wild blossoms are.
There a boys at his best
with Gods wonders In Wow
With hope in his breast
And his feet in the dew.
