His Fears Were Realized.

A Georgia statesman says that
while he was in the shop of an opti
clan in Atlanta he once heard an
amusing conversation between the
proprietor Of the establishment and
an aged darky. who was leaving
the place with new pair of specta.
cles
AS the old chap neared the door his
eye lighted on a most extraordinary
looking instrument conspicuously
placed upon counter. The vener-
able negro paused for several mo-
uents to gaze in wonder at this thing,
the like of which he had never seen
before After long struggle with his
curiosity he was vanquished. Turn
ms to the optican, he asked:
"What is it, boss?'
"'That is an opthalmometer," repli-
ed the optician. in his gravest manner
"Sho!" muttered the old man to
