Such a fight for life. as has been
made by Alfred T. Patrick, the accus-
ed murderer of old man Rice themil-
lionaire Texan in the city of New
York deserved some reward. 1t has
come to this remarkable man in a
life sentence instead of the electric
chair. through the command of New
York's governor. Patrick has occu-
pied the death cell at Sing Sing for a
period of five years. All the time
with doom hanging over his head
and with no outside aid he as a law
yer has made his own fight for life. 1t
is the most remarkable case almost
in the criminal annals of the coun-
try Patrick was sentenced to death
several times and each time the death
sentence was stopped to give him n
new trial. He finally has secured a
eommutation of the sentence to life
Imprisonment. If Patrick deserved
death for murder, he should have
been executed. We have no maud
lin sentiment to waste ON a murder
er. But we cannot help admiring the
fighting off death under the adverse
circumstances under which he did
Admiration may go out spontaneous
ly to even a murderer. for every man
admires a fighter. even though it be
for the life of a man whom a great
majority believes committed the
foul deed against a friend, with which
he is charged.

MIND

Often our health and our lives are
sacrificed to improper use of vision.
The organs and functions of the body
are closer in relation to one another
than would at first thought appear.
Every component part of the living
organism is interdependent. one on
the other, throughout the whole range
of the body, the influence of one re-
verbrating to the other.
1t has been learned by experience
that, when tired, closing the eyes for
a moment will rest the entire body.
The reason of this is that closing the
eyes shuts down work" on one third
of the brain-resting it.
The greatest thing in the world is
man. The greatest part of man is
mind, and one-third of the mind is
eye-sight, and my specially is EYE
SIGHT. If your eyesight is in any
way affected-be sure you have it
attended by a specialist and save
trouble and money and dear sight.
