Of which may be perfectly corrected,

Short sighted children often injure
their eyes eudeavoring to SEQ dur

the duty of teachers to report all
such cases to parents who should
see that the child is fitted with
suitable spectacles; but here great
care should be exercised, for glasses
too strong only aggravate the.
trouble and may result in blindness:

About the Cigarette Law.

To the Editor: I see in news
papers that you can not smoke
cigarettes. Can you give me the
true facts on this question?
"A SMOKER"
Smokers of cigarettes in Wiscon-
consin have the right under the
federal constitution to procure for
their own personal use supplies of
cigarettes from outside of the state,
providing that the supplies come in
original packages and not for the
purpose of evading the new Wis
consin anti-cigarette law. This is
the effect of an opinion rendered by
Attorney General Sturdevant, be-
ing in answer to letter of inquiry
from the Twohy- Eimon COM
pany of Superior. The company
asked whether the distribution of
certain five-pound cartons of to-
bacco containing some cigarette pa
pers, the cartons having been ship,
ped to them from outside the state,
would be illegal. The attorney gen.
eral holds that dealers cannot bring
cigarettes into this state in cartons
and distribute them under cover of
the original package" decisions.

Can an Editor Tell the Truth?

Occasionally we meet a man who
insists that an editor could always
tell the whole truth in his paper if
he wanted to. He can't do it and
continue in the business, remarks
an exchange. A Missouri editor
tried 1t and was invited to leave
town, and the request was put so
forcibly that he ''got." Here are
some of the items that put him out
of business:
John BONN, the LATEST mer-
chant in town. made a trip to Belle
vile yesterday"
John Doyle, our groceryman, is
doing a poor business. His store is
dirty, dusty and noxiouly odorifer-
Gus. Besides, he spends a good part
of his time loafng around town.
How can he expect to do much?"
Rev. Styx preached last Sun
day on charity. The theme was a
good one, but the sermon was rot"
Dave Shukey died at his home
in this place. The doctor gave the
the cause as heart failure. The
facts are that Dave was drunk, that
whisky killed him, that everybody
knows it, and that the doctor lied
when he said it was heart failure
Paddy Smiths blind pig is run
ing wide open seven days in the week
and nobody knows it better than
the village dads
Married, Miss Sylvia Rhodes
and James Canadian, last Saturday
evening at the Baptist church. The
bride is a very ordinary girl who
doesn't know any more about cook
ing than a rabbit and never helped
her mother three days in her life.
She is no beauty and has gait like
fat duck. The groom is a we'll
known and up-to-date loafer. He's
been living off the old folks all his
life and don't amount to shucks.
They will have a hard life"

The Scent Test.

Blindfold each guest in turn Zone
at time of course) and seat him or
her in the center of the room where
all the other guests may keep the
trial" in view. Then bring in a
basket of such articles as are here
named: A bottle Of turpentine, a
bottle of camphor, one of pepper
mint, a moth ball, rose, bit of
salt Goldfish, leaf of rosemary, an
onion, etc.
Although the odors and perfumes
of these articles are familiar to all
when scented singly and with the
eyes open-it is astonishing, and
laughable too, to hear the blunders
OF the blindfolded one as he endeav-
ors to name the articles that are
passed in rapid succession before his
nose. He will declare turpentine is
camphor peppermint rose, a moth
ball will be a geranium. and so on
till his futile efforts create the great
est merriment to the onlookers.
But when the test comes to those
that laughed loudest their confusion
is perhaps greater than his as they
''grope blindly" with olfactory
nerves to name things they knew
so we'll but SMELL so badly. Dur
ing such a test one will learn how
much the nose depends upon the
eyes to tell one things.

A Letter to Slanderers.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
Whereas certain malicious and SIAN
derous reports are in circulation in
this city tending to seriously injure
the good name of myself and son,
hereby caution all persons not to re-
peat such reports, warning them that
they lay themselves liable to prose-
cution.
5 To my friends l feel that need only
say there is not a film of truth or
shadow of fact upon which to base any
of these reports.
To others I have this to say: To
those of you who have sufficient brain
to enable you to conceive of the mean
ing of such terms as manhood, woman
hood, honor, virtue, decency, let me
say to you that the sweet morsel of
scandal you have rolled under your
tongues with such evident relish dur
ing the past few days, will one day.
turn to gall and wormwood, and will
leave most bitter taste in your mouth
which it will be difficult for you to
spit out.
To the Public just a word: AS a
child | used to wonder why God made
flies and hornets and gnats and snakes
with bite and sting and poisonous
touch. AS man l am wondering today
why God made Gf indeed he did, such
things as scandalmongers, malicious
liars, defamers of character, fends in
human shape from whose bites and
stings and slanderous tongues the in
nocent suffer. From an open, honor
able foe, one may defend himself, but
from the sneak and coward who hides
in the dark, and stabs you in the back,
there is no defense.
Finally, to the persons who con
ceived and the person who penned the
Infamous letter sent to me through the
mail last Saturday, | have this to say:
Believe me, you will DE found out, and
punished as you deserve, if have to
invoke the aid of the u. S. Postoffice
Department to find You.

Philosophy of a Pessimist.

No man with the toothache can
enjoy great riches.
The smile of love becomes a frown
when the cupboard is bare.
A woman in politics is about as
amusing as a hen swimming.
The woman with mission is sell
dom able to prepare a meal fit to
eat.
1t must be exasperating to a hot
tempered woman to have a bald
headed husband.
The road to fame is crowded with
men who, having become discourag-
ed, turned back.
Lots of men haven't enough ambi-
ton to even accept to get cut OF
their own way.
Too many people resemble ball
of twine-they are completely
wrapped up in themselves.
No barber has a right to charge a
man fifteen cents for natural gas
that he does not want.
If new clothes looked as unsatis-
factory as they feel, few people
would care to wear them.
Even the optimist who sees moth
ing but sunshine is shy about lend
ing his umbrella to a friend.
History continues to repeat itself
in spite of the fact that two-thirds
of it isn't worth repeating.
1t is simply an impossibility for a
minister with a boil on the back Of
his neck to deliver an enthusiastic
sermon.
Young man, don't waste your
time writing poetry to an heiress.
She can purchase better poetry than
you can ever hope to turn ont.

alton, and halt rising in his chair,
moved his finger rapidly around
the table, reciting, "Eny meme

finger at the Baptist misister and
houting. You're it."
