SPECS THAT FTTTEr.

Al oid man. who has nearly o+ onu1 eu the biblical limit of three score ien years, was in West DuIu+b eius store recently, andeavorina to find q palr or spectacles to fit his avas somehow, the old pair he had yvory, a, ten years were playing out, or else IiS eyes were. He couldn't account TOT It, but 1t was getting harder for nlln 10 see comfortably with them ev- cry day, and he finally decided that he must purchase new pair.
 lie explained to the clerk what he wanted, and then the small stock car ried was ransacked in an effort to find me right thing. It was a long iob. everything tried on blurred, the one with strong magnifying power. as well as that with practically none.
 The clerk finally gave it up, and ad- vised the old man to see an optician. He allowed" so. too, but continued to paw over the glasses and try them on in a hopeless sort of way, while the clerk attended to something else.
 Suddenly the latter was attracted to the customer by an exclamation of satisfaction. By gosh, I've got her.' he shouted, and the clerk turned around to see the old man with the ''specs" on his nose, testing them on q newspaper.
 T kin see better'n I could ten year ago." continued the old fellow, exult- ingly, and just then he raised lis hand to take them off, and put his finger through the hole where the lens was supposed to be.

STORIES ABOUT PRINCE HENRY

During the troubles in China Prince Henry became a huge favorlte Witn the American and English residents or both Canton and Hong Kong. The prince learned the English language from his mother, and it comes to him so naturally that he sometimes drops into it unconsciously in moments or abstraction.
 As he speaks English without trace of accent and is a fine, manly fellow, the Englishmen in China found in him qualities which they were proud to be- lieve were essentially British. His own countrymen acclaimed him as typical German prince, while the Americans found him to be a man of such open handed and democratic ideas that they readily regarded him as an American.
 Tn Hong Kong he appeared to mix by preference with Englishmen. He used the Hong Kong club almost ex- clusively, finding there, perhaps-or Englishmen fiattered themselves SO that cream of hospitality which treats even q royal guest as habitue and neither stares him out of countenance nor bores him to death with deference. With what seemed to be the truest courtesy, he was allowed to come and go unnoticed The prince seemed to appreciate this very much and showed it by making himself thoroughly at home.
 Ills presence was not without its re- sulting amusement. One day he en- tered the club bar and ordered a whis- Key and soda. The boy, following the 1nyariable British custom, poured out Whiskey and handed out the soda sy- phon, so that the guest might add as much soda water as he wished. The prince looked interested, then puzzled He looked at the modicum of pale whiskey in the glass. he looked at the syphon and he looked at the boy. Then he said suavely:

NAT GOODWIN.

Much interest is shown in the ap- pearance of Nat Goodwin and Maxine Elliott in "When We Were Twenty one'' Saturday evening at Polls, and there, is every evidence that these dis tinguished stars will be greeted by one of Waterbury's most fashionable audi ences. Rarely during the past few years have our theater-goers been al forded the pleasure of witnessing q performance by MT Goodwin and Miss Elliott, their time in the past four or i've years having been taken up by metropolitan productions both in this country and Europe, and it was at the earnest solicitation and pleadings of managers in the smaller cities that MT Goodwin at last consented to bring his exquisite production of-Henry V. Es- mond's lovable play en tour through this section. Therefore he had hls manager, George J. Appleton, book a route which embraces some fifty odd cities and which will require twenty weeks for it's fulfillment. Mir Goodwin will during its continuance travel in his own private car, in which both Miss Elliott and he will have all the comforts that ingenuity can afford. They will also carry with them the complete production that was used at the presentation of their success at the Knickerbocker theater, New York, and in London. Sale of seats Friday.

THE MANcHuRlAN TREATY.
Celebration of Chinese New Year
 Will Delay Signing.

Will Delay Signing.
 PEKING, Jan. 29.-Governmenta business will be practically suspended for one month on account of the Chi nese New Year festivities
 While the Manchurian treaty is al- most ready to sign, it probably will not be signed until after the New Year. Russia has not committed herself in writing to reply to the written state mens of the Chinese plenipotentiaries containing the objections of the latter to the treaty, but it is learned upon the highest authority that Paul Lessar, the Russian minister to China, has verbally conceded ali China's objec- rons to this treaty, excepting the Chi nese demurrer to the prohibition of taking artillery into Manchuria with out the consent of Russia. This ap- pears to be a comparatively unimpor- tant point, and M. Lessar is communi- eating with the government concern ing it.
 Russia insists that a new agreement with the Russo-Chinese bank be sign ed simultaneously with the Manchu- rian treaty. This new agreement, 'iFFAAANA ~ AaS 0CCA dLtG14pLG0 lO ACCp secret, with considerable success, is most important to the other govern ments, in that 1t gives Russia, through the Russo-Chinese bank, exclusive mining and other privileges. It is said that Russia will compensate herself through this agreement with the bank for her apparent compromise on the treaty.
 Prince Ching in this connection says substantially:
 Russia has our territory. We have been compelled to buy it back, and we have made the best bargain we could, securing material reductions on Rus sia's original concessions"
 The emperor will give an audience to the diplomatic corps here today, when the dowager empress will as- sume the position of de facto ruler. She will then meet the ministers for the first time officially, sitting beside the emperor and not concealed by screen, as has heretofore been the GUS tom.
