THE LAUGHING
DANCING EYE
A Bright Eye. a Bright In

THE WINDOW OF THE BRAIN
Character is Read in the Eye,
Also the Condition of

THE WINDOW OF THE BRAIN


The eye is the window Of the brain.
1t can laugh and dance, love and hate,
WOO ard wound, succumb or subju-
gate, and unless free from ali defects
the pictures formed upon our brains
are false and our relations with the
external world are changed. Many
people who imagine they see perfectly
are going through life with only half
vision or little better, and they do not
realize their condition until some dis
cased condition of the lids or eyes man
ifests itself and makes an examination
necessary Then they learn that it is
all the result Of extra strain upon the
muscles, made necessary by the defect
in vision.
Nothing in literature is more pathetic
than that which brings us into vivid
touch with the helplessness and awful
deprivation Of the blind. The cry of
blind Bartemius TO the Lord for light
is one of the most appealing passages
in the Bible
There is one trouble particularly that
is overlooked by many Oculists and
never detected by the ordinary optician,
and that is muscular trouble. This IS
of the greatest Importance. 1 have
cases every day where people say they
got glasses from so and so, which
seemed all right, but after few weeks
their trOGble not only returned, but
was worse. These cases I find have
had their sight slightly improved
which they appreciate at the time, but
they soon realize that this slight i'm
prOvement in vision is costing them an
extra amount of nerve force, and there
fore their nervous trouble is aggra-
waited and made worse.

Wanders Away From Home and
Falls Into Canal.


Vernal, May ga sad accident occurred
yesterday in the family of Thomas
Wright of Gline's ward, by which they lost
2-year-Oid baby boy by drowning. The
Central canal. which runs just in front
of the Wright residence, has been filled
TO overlooking for several days, and car
ries a large volume of water which
dashes along with a swift current The
parents Of the little one have been fear
ful since the water began to rise that
some accident would happen, and have
been unusually careful and watchful
but despite al this. the two eldest chill
dren of the little family, aged and 3
years. slipped away for a moment. They
were scarcely out Of sight until the anx-
ious mother missed the little ones and
ran out 20 ascertain their whereabouts
Not finding the younger of the two, she
at once gave the alarm to the neigh
bors and search was begun. No notice
was taken of the older of the children
at first, who wat ched the excited search
ers quietly, and finally remarked that he
knew where his little brother was" :;
that he had gone in the water" After
further questioning it was learned that
the two had gone TO the canal bank to
pick flowers. and the younger reached
down close to the water and slipped in.
The little 3-year-Old said. in telling the
story, that his little brother went down
IN the water, and he told him to get out
and he wouldn't do it After searching
for three-quarters of an hour along the
canal one of the searchers saw a little
hand waving in the water below one of
the big weirS that divides the water along
each section line. The water tears
through this particular weir with terrific
velocity and dasheS onto a pile of rocks
and brush placed below the weir to pre-
vent washing. Through this weir the lit
tie body had been forced and was found
lodged in the brush below The ugly
bruises told Of the rough passage through
which it had come The remains were
taken to the home. where the mother
became frantic with grief over her loss
The father had left that morning for
Jensen, and a messenger was sent at
once to Overtake him and apprise him OF
the sad affair.
c o. Baxter, president of the ellison
Asphaltum company, Chief Counsel
Brown and Resident Attorney Tom
Mitchell came in yesterday from the
company's White river properties, and
this morning Mr.. Baxter took the out
leaving he stated TO The Herald CORE
spondent that work will be rushed during
the summer owing to the many contracts
for material now ahead of the company.
The ma lagement is considering the ad-
visibility Of putting on a traction out
fit to haul ore from the Black Dragon
mines, south of Dhite river. to Fruita
Colo, distance of about fifty miles.
When asked whether the shipments from
the Black Dragon would affect in any
way the operations at Fort Duchesne,
where the wa gOn haul is over 100 miles
Mr.. Baxter stated that operation would
continue there the same as in the past
as the demand was greater than the sup
ply and the output from both points
would be necessary

During the recent excitement in the
south about smallpox, children, of
course, were subjected to the ordeal of
vaccination, and not a few parents pro-
tested against the vaccination of delicate
children. A little girl who had been
considered too delicate to undergo the
operation for prevention had been kept
closely at home. and returned to her
Sunday-school only when all alarm con-
cerning the epidemic was over In the
course of the lesson the teacher asked
her why Moses was hidden in the bull
rushes.
II suppose his father and mother didn't
want to have him vaccinated," confident
ly answered the little girl.
