FAILING EYESIGHT.
Caused by Improper Food.

Writers who live sedentary lives and who use coffee are apt to be troubled by faulty vision, which they usually at tribute to overwork. That they are sometimes mistaken is proved by the following statement from an old news paper man:
 For nearly 40 years I have earned my living with the pen. A few years ago l began to suffer from occasional blind spells My vision frequently became obscured by what may be call ed kaleidoscopic blues, in which con- stantly changing figures like wheels. stars, etc. ioated before my eyes. mak- ing it impossible for me to work while they lasted. They were usually fol- lowed by dull, heavy headaches.
 My physicians. two of them. advised me that my eyes had become weakened by overwork. consulted an oculist but he could not discover the cause of the trouble. I bought stronger glasses but they did not help me
 Last summer, while living tempo rarily in boarding house. I found the very weak coffee a thing to complain of, till suddenly I discovered that my blind spells were becoming less ire quent. then satisfied myself by ex- periments that 1t was coffee that was deranging my optic nerves.
 A IElenu uuNlseu H6a tO try POtSum cdffee. and although I had no faith in 1t, began to use IL. Tn three days time the blind spells completely ceas- ed. Going back to the old coffee the blind spells returned. am entirely satisfied that coffee was the cause of the ailment. and that Postum was It's cure Name given by Potsum Co. Battle Creek. Mich.
 There's a. reason. Coffee is a uar- cotic that breaks down the cells in the nerve centres and unless nature sue ceeds in repairing the damage each day, disease and distress follows in some one or more organs. 1t may be eyes tn one, stomach and bowels in another. heart or kidney in another and yet each affected from the same cause. coffee. The sure way to cAr- tainly know Is to quit eoffe 10 days and use Postum. If the disease begins to disappear you have the key to your puzzle.

AN EASY TOWN.

Pistol toting in New York must be quite an easy-going pleasure for those who like that sort of thing. The pen alty now is fine of ten dollars and we are told that this fine "ls seldom inn posed unless q man has been arrested for some other offense." We suppose if man should be arrested for murder New York justice would consider it necessary to fine him $1O for having a gun.
 But what an utter farce is such a law. even if the penalty should be inn posed in every instance! What gentle man. is there in New York who would not willingly pay ten dollars for the privilege of acting the bully and the coward? And what ruffian is there who will not take the chances of such a fine in order that he may feel free to carry his gun handy? We have been accus- toned to look on the wild and woolly West as an easy place for gun carrying but New York can heat the West for an easy thing. Why don't they offer a premium for distribution among the pistol toters, and let all compete for 1t who wish? Such alleged restraining laws as that are nothing less than a farce. We notice the suggestion that fine S25O for each offence. and if that is done 1t may have some effect-which the present law has not.

HERE'S A POET.

We warn Old Virginny and both the Carolinas that they must look to their laurels or go down into ignominious gloom. poet has arisen in Baltimore who lays over anything the aforesaid States can produce as the nightingale lays over the jaybird. His name is Louis Michel and he has unwound an epic to Roosevelt that fairly slzzes Here is one stanEa:
 Like Hercules, the giant;
 Like Ajax, bold and keen;
 Like Achilles, defiant;
 Like Atlas strong, serene;
 Like Thescus, the sturdy:
 Like Nestor. who excelled;
 Though only six and forty
 Is Theodore Roosevelt!
 That is all we can devote space to. but it Is surely enough to make the shades of Milton and Scott and all the rest of them hang their heads in deep- est humility and envious shame. If our Charlotte and Norfolk and Charlottes- vile brethren can produce a poet who can trot along with this Baltimore specimen let him come forth and make good.
 But they can't do 1t. They can't find man or woman who can sling ink along with Louis. They can't produce a bard who can weave in all the heroes of an- tiquity and fit them to a modern form as Michel fits his to the President. II can't be done. He's the limit and there's nothing left for the smaller fry to attempt.

found on the street In an intoxicated condition. The Chattanooga and Mont gomery papers differ as to the paradinE of these men before their acquaint- ances on the business streets. The fact is that this matter of publicity Is merely an irritant to an alleged legal wrong that should be remedied. 1t is no uncommon thing for q man, be he white or black, to be sentenced to the chain gang from Charlotte and other cities for the want Of few dollars to pay fine for a trivial offense like drunkenness. We believe that the re- corder of this town makes the third offense of getting drunk punishable by sentence to the chain-gang. This in- stitution is never brought to town to work, 1t is true. but the men are em- ployed on the public roads, where they may be seen by all passers-by. Think of 1t! A man who has gotten drunk say three times is clothed in stripes. with shackles riveted on his ankles, and put to work beside thieves and habitual criminals for something like thirty days-a misdemeanant given the same punishment as the hardened criminal It is all wrong, and some power like that exercised by Judge Elm Ory Speer in Georgia should be invoked in other States to bring about reform. if there is no other way to stop it.
