nent Mexico Eye Spe-
Cia1ist, Performing
Wonderful Cures of

such a sensation in the scientific
world by introducing the Magnetic

eyes, near sightedness, far sight
edness, astigma-ism, and other
eye Affections.
DR.. White has been performing
wonderful cures right here in Mex
leo for a number of years, which
has given him more than a nation
al reputation. He has had years
of experience, and patients have
visited him from many other states
;all return to their homes with the
same glad news that "Dr. White

Ezry Ellis had been sober off and on" year
And his wife girl happy though she had lurking fear
That the Tempe would hm hed discovered to her
That extremely little bubbles made him stub his moral toe
For, you see, he WASH noted very pushing man.
His back zone had a wobbe Whatever he began
He apt to leave unfinished in SOFT of tired funk,
Though he reaytuck to business when he started drunk
Yet he really wasn't vicious had a kindly heart
And hoped to be a better soon's he got a start.
But the barn left unsnged and the partly hoed
And the premises in general quite prominently
That Ezra's bland existence 10y worldly
And was like story serial continued in our next"
But whatever Ezra failngs in providing indng wood
He loved his little baby much mortal could

Always CLOSED the cupr and condoned for babys sake
The patient little didn't have decent dress;
She had the little year guess
patched and sewed and managed

And mekly hoped something Ezra got his pay.
And vet her parting words had been when Ezra went to town.
Not for herself; she brushed his and collar down
And told him how the baby boy had set his little heart
having papa bring him home red tin horse and cart.
wistfuly she whispered she held the child to take
parting kiss Remember dear be strong for babys sake
Twas only Ezra drunk again-famiar sight, enough
maudn fool in Clothes profane, obscene and rough

tho he'd vanished every good resolve he'd made
Tho single point at least, he seemed profoundly ben
He wouldn leave the village till he'd squandered cent
cheeruy would take his worthless life
AS the seasons wages he promised to his wife.
And knew and cared in all the motley crowd
That poor osaned sat at home alone and bowed
rough old cradle, and cOnsoled with aching heart
The grievng of little child who wept for that tin
The evening merged midnighthe morning grew
And score times the mother bent in a wall
Of chubby little youngster rubbing umber from its eyes
struggling till his brought that prize

While Mother Earth with gentle touch brushed all the

The childish woes were all orgot-the tired baby slept

DISCUSSES VARIOUS MATTERS.
Pontin Has Interview With His Pri.
vate Secretary.


Rome, July 11.-During the morning
Pope Leo received his private secre-
tary, Mgr. Angel, who was again sur
prised at the pope's brightness OF mind
and display OF energy On leaving the
sick room Mgr. Angeli remarked to
those who surrounded him and asked
for news that, X it was not known that
the pope was dangerously i'll, from his
appearance at that time one would
say he was In his normal condition.
The monsignor added that the pontirf
referred to several different matters,
recalling exactly the most minute de-
tails, and remembering facts, figures
and dates with marvellous promptness,
and all this to the accompaniment OF
snun taking. The same impressions
were formed by Count Camille Pecci,
who visited the pope after Mgr. An
geli. The doctors visit and the opera
tion followed.
DIR. Mazzoni's operation was almost
identical with that of Tuesday after
noon. The patient lay on his couch.
with his side exposed. The skin above
the affected parts was washed with
solution Of alcohol, cocaine was hypo-
dermically injected and DR.. Mazzonl
inserted a pravaz needle. which, by
suction, drew off the vitiated matter.
The operation was comparatively pain
less and was performed without re-
course to chloroform or other anaes-
theticS.
After the operation the pope felt SO
relieved that he insisted on getting up
and took several steps toward his arm
chair and seated himself for few
minutes. He then rose and, going to
the book shelves where he keeps his
fayorite authors, took down Horace's
"Ars Poetica," returned to the arm
chair and began reading, holding one
leg over the other. He seemed to feel
NO Ill effects from the operation. On
the contrary he appeared to have de-
rived benefit from 1t.
Later in the day the pope had lunch
and then took q long rest.
At 3:15 he was still enjoying rest
ful repose and showing no i'll effects
from the operation. The neighborhood
Of the Vatican was tranquil.
At 4:20 all was still quiet at the
Vatican. No change Of any sort was
reported. Cardinal Rampolla did not
venture into the sick chamber, but
anxiously inquired frequently as to the
condition of the patient
