speed, is not particularly noticeable when
reading. But the trolley car does not
maintain the same rate of speed for more
than few moments at time. 1t is con-
stantly swaying and jerking. The road
bed is SO light that the car bounces
along like billiard ball, and the eye that
Is trying to read is forced to follow quiv-
ering lines up and down and criss-cross.
II have had dozens of patients lately
whom have relieved entirely by merely
making them stop reading in the trolley
car.
Many men and women wonder why
they have those queer, binding head
aches when they reach home after their
nightly ride in the cars. Well, most of
them have headache that results from eye
strain. The trouble Is insidious. and the
eye itself is rarely panied. The pain
comes from the strained. superinflamed
nerves behind the eye. and they carry
their trouble on to the brain. Stop read
ing in trolley cars. and there will be fewer
mysterious h sadaches."

And what Of the young man
who took his advice?
I rode in the carriage with
Captain B. d. Harper. preSi-
dent of the Union Bank of Greeley, who
was one of the original company OF a
hundred settlers who took the editors ad-
vice and helped to dig the first ditch at
Greeley. With others, Captain Harper
toiled with spade and pick for nearly
year to lead the water seventeen miles
thru the arid waste to the site OF the pro-
posed town. To-day Captain Harper pre-
sides at directors meetings and keeps an
eye out for good investments. His horses
are sleek and his carriage is upholstered
after the fashion common to the rich.
The captain is rich. He does not deny
1t, and neither do his neighbors He made
his money raising potatoes and other farm
truck, and breeding sheep.
But the story Of Captain Harper Is
simply one of many--of all, practically who
were the pioneers in this movement. The
land, when they took 1t up, was worth
nothing; now it Is worth on an average
$3.50 an acre. The canal was worth the
labor they put into it; now it is an incor-
porated enterprise and share of stock
which cost Captain Harper $500 Is now

Of $4,000 An English syndicate has come

1t could get, and Is glad to hold 1t for
