AGING OF THE EYE.
An Old Theory Controverted by a
Young Chicago OcuIist.
From the New York World.


All occulists know that, from middle age
on, the pupil of the eye grows smaller, un-
Ill in old age IL is no larger than a pins
head. Heretofore they have tried TO ex-
plain this by saying that the muscles and
nerves controlling the pupils become stlff,
or weak sooner than do the other muscles
or nerves of the body.
This theory Is controverted by young
Chicago oculist, Dr. Norburne jenkins
who criticises many old theories in regard
10 the eyes.
Dr. Jenkins was In New York recently
and was seen by a reporter. II find' said
he. "that advancing age only brings into
action certain defects of the eye, and these
defects alone are the causes Of the small
pupil whether In age or in youth; and the
greater the defect the earlier the pupil
gets small
This is proved, because the pupil re-
sumes it's normal size and activity after
the defects are relieved by perfectly itdng
glasses In brief the small pupil comes
from eye strain, and II not present W per-
feet eyes. As only about one person in
a thousand has perfect eyes. the mistake
has easily been made Of thinking the small

Hurt That Honor Feels.

Two years ago, when Congressman
Ed Ridgley was renominated, he Sc
cured the help Of the friends of Hugh
Farrelly with the promise that Mr..
Ridgley would not again be candi-
date and that the populists would
join in securing the nomination OF
Senator Farrelly. In the convention
held at Parsons there is no question
that if the friends of Mr., Ridgley
had kept their part Of that agree
ment Senator Farrelly and not Judge
Jackson would have been the fusion
nominee for congress In that district.
Enough of Mr.. Ridgley's followers
went to Judge jackson to secure his
nomination.
Senator Farrelly naturally feels ag-
grieved at the way he has been treated
by the populists of the third district
and his friends resent the bad faith
shown in betraying him. At the
Wichita convention everything was
done to heal his lacerated feelings
and anoint the wounds that were
made by the actions of the third dis
trict populists. He was made tempo.
rary chairman of the state convention
and then as further salve to his
bruises he was made the head of the
permanent organization, although
that place had been promised by the
slate-makers to Mr.. Morgan of Eure-
ka. Not content with this and to
purge his system of bitterness and
take the bad taste out of his mouth
his friends presented him with a
gold headed cane and a silk umbrella.
When Judge Jackson's political re-
mains are being dragged around the
third district at Mr.. Wheatley's char
lot, the senator can walk by with his
gold headed cane and from the shell
ter of his silk umbrella advise him to
come in out of the wet. The senator
has been the winner in the deal. OF
course it looks tough to him now. He
feels that he has beer knitted by his
friends and betrayed. Those who prom
ised to support him went back on him
and their agreement, but he should
feel pleased that his friends have
furnished him some shelter from the
storm that will break upon the popu.
list and democratic parties this
fall. He will still have his silk UNI
brella and gold-headed cane while
Judge Jackson has only the frazzled
edge Of bedraggled expectancy out of
which the last thread will be raveled
next November. leaving him without
the protection of even silk umbrella.

Senator Carter's Trick.

1t was a clever trick which Senator
Carter of Montana worked on his col
leagues during the closing hours of the
Senate when he delivered a beautiful
political speech and got the same into
the record. There had been a shut
down on unanimous consents, and con-
sequently it was impossible to get the
customary ''leave to print" The
Senate was waiting on the House,
which was in fierce wrangle over the
photographic appropriation and some
one had moved to take recess. Car
ter got up and claimed the attention
of the chair for moment.
II think it Is in order before we ad-
journ," he began In that smooth, unc-
tuous voice of his, 'to call upon the
gentleman from Oregon to explain the
recent Republican victory out there. "
And then Tom went on, tactfully,
pleasantly, entertainingly, so much SO
that before anyone realized it he was
In the midst Of a stump speech and had
the attention of the Senate and CALLER
les. 1t was too late to make point
of order on him and no one cared to.
The speech becomes part of the
record, and in his campaign for re.elec-
tion this fall will be circulated to ev-
cry voter in Montana under the gov
ernment frank, with an incidental
saving to Senator Clark Of some $4,000.

A house cat, having heard that it be-
longed to the same family as the tiger,
became puffed up on account Of the
supposed relationship and went about
the neighborhood blowing about his
connection with royalty. Shortly af-
terward, the swell-headed cat, seeing a
royal Bengal tiger in thezoo, approach
ed the lord Of the jungle and with a
bland smile remarked: 81 am one Of
your near relatives and thought I'd
step up and call on you." SIS that a
fact?" asked the tiger with a slight
curl of the lip. "Well, come here,
cousin, and allow me to embrace you. +"
Then the fool cat, flattered by this re-
ception, came up within reach Of the
tiger, who caught it between its jaws
and sqeezed the life out Of it before a
person of active speech could say Jack
Robinson And a companion who had
heard the boasting cat talk, said, as
it viewed the dead feline lying in the
bottom of the tigers cage: "It occurs
to me that / would rather be just a
common Thomas cat alive and be able
to sit on the back yard fence and yowl
than the dead relative OF. a royal Ben
gal tiger"

Mail and Breeze Fables.

A horse that was compelled to work
on an old fashioned tread mill, was OBJ
served by man who had been train
ing with the Democratic party for a
long time and had noted with disgust
the amount of fuss his partv made
and the apparently small progress.
81 have no idea what that horse is
there for" said he to companion,
"but l would judge that he has been
trained by a Democrat. He seems to
be sweating and working like thunder,
but I can't observe that he is getting
anywhere"

An alligator lay basking in the sun
at the edge Of bayou with his
mouth open. The alligator appeared
to be asleep, but as a matter of fact
he wasn't. He had plan. By and
by a bug crawled in between the alliga-
tors Jaws, partly on an investigating
tour and partly because it seemed to
be a cool, shady place. Then another
bug followed the first, and then a
whole family of bugs of different
breeds. Then troup of flies wand :.
cred in and settled down on the
tongue of the alligator. After the
flies came two toads with the idea of
getting in their work on the flies.
Then came more bugs and more flies
and more toads. But while these var
lous insects and toads were enjoying
the cool retreat Of the alligator's
mouth there was one wise and eau
tious toad who continued to hop
ABOUT on tne outside. gathering up a
fly here and there as it could. "Come
inside here" called one of the tOads
that was squatted near molar of the
alligator. "This is altogether the soft
est snap that we have struck in our
whole lives" Just then the alligator,
who concluded that he had a mouth
tul, suddenly snapped his jaws togeth-
er and swallowed all the fool toads,
bugs and flies that had come inside
the opening in his face. 81 have no
ticed all nv life long," said the wise
toad, as he hoped away, after seeing
his companions disappear, ''that the
fool who goes up against another per-
sons game will get the worst of it in
the end"

Omaha, Neb., March 20.--Col.
James A. George, one of the prom
nent figures In South Dakota poll.
ics was in the city enroute from
Washington to his home at Dead
wood. Col. George isa southern
gentlemen of the old school, and
from his early youth had the prin
'ciples of democracy instilled into his
mind. In the campaign of 1896 he
was sent from Washington, where
he had a lucrative law practice, to
the Black Hills 20 assistin the cause
OF Bryan in that region. He made
campaign speeches without number
and Bryan's success in carrying the
Black Hills formally a republican
stronghold, was attributed to Col.
Georges campaigning NOR. than
any other factor.
At this time Col George asserts
that he is still a democrat, but be is
one Of the most enthusiastic of ex-
pansionists and is returning to South
Dakota prepared to enter actively
into the political campaign and take
the stump for expansion. "Jusr
now" he said 81 am somewhat i, the
