SEEKING A DOCTOR.

"How did you come to have the
operation?"
"Well, I always wanted the cat
aract removed but / didn't know
anybody that could do it. had
no money to pay for it, and l didn't
expect it to be done for nothing.
Every once in awhile some doctor
would step up to me when l was
playing take a look at my eyes.
Several of them from time to time
said they thought they could give
me some sight; but l didn't have
any faith. | was living on the L.
q f. R. r. in the edge of Wolfe
county, trying to make a little
money in a new field. 1t was on
court day when DR., of Lex
ington, looked at my eyes and tried
tn persuade me to come here and
let him cure me. He said he could
do 1T and that ne would do it free.
The election was coming off and l
thought everybody was busy. l
had no money to pay my board at
the hospital, so l didn't take hold
of the idea right then. A little
while back who should l find get
ting off the train at Ashland but
this same doctor. He saw me and
at once began at me to come over
and let him operate. l said | had
sister living at Lexington, Mrs.
Nora Moore, of 400 Seventh street,
if he could operate as well at her
house as at the hospital l would
come and try it, My wife said
was just as ready as I'd ever be, so
| came on. When l got here. man
whose sons eyes had been operated
on, Mr.. -, said to me, Don't
you have your eyes touched till you
talk to Dr. l went to DR..
- and he was willing to do the
job for nothing, but he wouldn't
operate outside the hospital.

HE is A PHILOSOPHER.

Blindness is mighty bad, hut ii
could have been worse. My health
has always been good. 1t is great
happiness to go home nights when
tired out with standing and fiddling
all day, and have the little ones
come around my knees and hear
their prattle. They show me ev-
erything they can get hold of to
play with. Here, Pappy, see this
and they take my fingers and
have me feel what they want to
show me. Both my girls can sing,
and they sing with me some times.

BLIND FOR FORTY YEARS.

II was born at Morehead, in
Rowan county, Ky, on the 18th
day of May, 1861. My father was
Jilson Lewis Day, cousin of Judge
Day, Of Montgomery county; my
mother was Elizabeth Settlers. An
uncle of mine had four blind chill
dren, but there was no blindness in
our family except in my case. l
was two and half years old when
the trouble began with severe at
tack of cholera infantum For forty
years / have not seen a wink; l
could barely tell whether it was
light or dark. l loved to work and
used to help my father on the farm,
but straining my eyes would give
me headache, so father would get
sorry for me and make me go to
the house. When j was about
eleven he bought me violin-a
dark coiored German violin. /
loved music and father said he
knew | could never do any work. l
learned to play by ear, catching up
any tune could hear from bands,
or just anywhere.

THE OPERATION.

On Sunday the l4th, last, the
surgeon applied local anesthesia,
and carefully removed the cataract
and whatever complications were
binding the mans sight. The time
was brief and the patient was brave;
not vestige of nervousness, but a
mountain of faith. a. the crucial
moment the doctor said, "open

fiddler, under an influence not di-
vine, but all-potent, said, IL see
your fingers moving-two fingers.
Don't look up" quickly admon-
ished the surgeon, as the eyebaIls
moved upward.
Did l do wrong, doctor? 1 had
to see your face. And oh l saw
the sunshine, the first time in forty
years"
The doctor bandaged the eyes
and left strict injunction not to
touch them. You must tie my
hands, dGctor-Tm 50 afraid
might touch them in my sleep"
A week later l saw the test as
stated in the beginning OF this
story. The young nurse stoodEbe-
fore the man, candle in hand. On
her head was the muslin cap. He
looked and saw-then said with his
native humor, II didn't know the
ladies wore Ounce caps these days"
Next he saw the doctors spectaces.
/ know what they are, he said,
81 have felt many a pair. Now
you men all wear spectacles but
you've got regular packsaddles on
my eyes" The packsaddles were
the bandages.

81 know that 1 will see," he said,
II can see already. In ten days
the doctor will fit pair of lenses
that will give me as good eyes as a
man need want. | may not even

forty years of dark night, the
blessed light has come-light

"Well, it would be, but Capt.
