GLASSES FOR THE EYES.
The Reason They Are Worn by 40
Many Persons Nowadays.

The Reason They Are Worn by 80
Many Persons Nowadays.
The question ls often asked, partlcu.
lnrly by those who can recall the Gus.
toms and experiences OF % years ago,
why do 80 many persons nowadays
wear glassesT The answer is easy.
"The Increase IN the number OF spec.
tacles worn IL not TO be regarded as
an evidence OF modern degeneration
OF the eyes, but rather that long felt
necessity has been met" For II should
be remembered that within the past
quarter OF n century much has been
learned about tho value OF glasses, and
the range OF their application and use
fulness has been enormously extended.
or course the eyes need more help now
than formerly. MS the amount OF work
they are required to do Is much greater
than at any previous period In the
worlds history. The sewing machine
and many other inventions OF It's class
save the labor OF the hands only 10
add TO that required OF the eyes.
New omployments, new amusements
ana new fashions are continually be-
Ing introduced TO increase the exac.
tlons laid upon these sensitive and
delicate organs. The steady decrease

cheapness Of literature and a spread

said, Il got up a little device that
greatly simplified the working OF a
certain type OF pump. l took out

big manufacturing concern In the
north The proprletors at once con
eeded the merit OF the invention and
offered me $500 down and a royalty OF
1925 on each one used. The cash pay
inent amounted TO nothing, for II really
fell short Of covering my time and ex-
penses. but the royalty was generous,
and / figured II out that II would yield
me an income OF $1,000 or $1,000 for
several years-perhaps longer. II de-
pended on how soon something better
entered the field.

feet. He stood now as though dazed
by the shock, trying to understand
what had happened.
"Are you hurt ?" inquired one Of the
policemen.
The man, mumbling an unintelligi-
BILE reply, raised his hand to a scalp
wound from which the blood was
flowing freely.
At that moment two men forced
their way through the crowd which
q circle Of policemen had some diff
Guilty in keeping at distance from
the wounded cabman. One was a
middle-aged individual, who gave his
name as DR.. Thurston and offered his
services as a physician; the other was
young man with keen gray eyes,
who said nothing, but exhibited re-
porter's badge.
The physician at once turned his
attention to the cabman; felt him,
thumped him, pinched him; smelt his
breath; and then delivered his ver-
dict:
mo bones broken. The slight
scalp wound doesn't amount to any
thing. The man has been drinking
heavily He is simply drunk"
The horse had by this time been
embarrassed and the cab had been
lifted upon its wheels again.
The reporter stood by a silent and
apparently listless spectator Of the
scene
DR.. Thurston turned to him:
"Come. along, Sturgis; neither you
nor are needed here; and if we do not
hurry, Sprague's dinner will have to
wait for us. It is quarter to eight
now"
The reporter seemed about to follow
his friend, but he stood for an instant
irresolute.
II say, DOCTOR" he inquired at last,
"are you sure the man is drunk?"
'He has certainly been drinking
heavily. Why?"
Because it seems to me-Ifello, we
cannot 60 yet; the passenger is more
badly hurt than the driver
'The passenger queried the ply
sician, turning in surprise to the police
man.
"What passenger" asked the police
man, looking at the cabman. Have
you a passenger inside, young feller?"
Nav replied the cabman, who
seemed to be partially sobered by the
shock and loss Of blood. Nav, amt
got no fare, barrin' the man wot was
on the box"
The reporter observed the man close
ly as he spoke; and then, pointing to
the step Of the cab, which was plainly
visible in the glare of a neighboring
electric lamp:
II mean the passenger whose blood is
