their surprise that they had never
realized how delightful park would
be. If Boston had waited until her
citizens had demanded them, the
splendid parks that make that
city famous would not now exist. The

sight entirely destroyed. 1t is not
known exactly how the accident hap
pened. but it appears that the little
fellow had just loaded his gun and was
looking up in tree fol birds, with
the butt of the gun setting on the
ground, when in some manner the gun
was discharged, the bullet going
straight into the sack of the eye. Ply
sicians were summoned, but they
could do nothing toward saving the
vision, which was entirely gone. The
little fellow is doing nicely today, and
has the symrath, of the entire town
IN his sad misfortune. His father was
in Chattanooga, but being notified OF
the accident left there on the first train

mistaken and unjust opinions of the
man. He went as a private citizen

he assume the role of dictator. He
had opinions which he dared express
as those who differed from him ex-
pressed theirs. His speech seconding
the nomination of Missours favorite
son, in which he took occasion to hurl
back the unwaIranted charge that he
posed a dictator and in which he
exposed the dangerous nilitarism OF
the Republican administration as
reflected in the speech of Gov. Black,
of New York. was the greatest heard
by the convention, and the interest 1T
commanded showed that the sincerity
and honesty of the man was intensely
appreciated. II is immaterial whether
we agree with him or not In all he
does or says, the fact remains that his
life reflects the Hottest virtues, and
that his earnestness of purpose aud
superb manhood impress the honest
citizenry az the chaIacer of no other
