Away back in the times Of the
Greeks there were men who could see
objects closely ali right. but not
across the river or plain, though they
eould often do better BY screwing op
their eyes until their eyelSds made .
narrow slit to look through. The
wise men of the Greeks called such
. one myope, and we still use the
name. Common folks call such
people "short sighted" because
they can see close objects
web and far objects with
great difficulty, if at ALL but science
comes to the aid of these unforto-
mates: the modern makers of lenses
supplies them with . little glass
through which they look and at ones

FIND PIRATE CAVE
IN BOSTON STREET
SMUeGLERS' TUNNEL is TWO
CENTURIES OLD
Mystery Of Captain Gruehy--EarIy
Day FInaneier Probably Derived
Immense Profits from Uu-
lawful Operations

BOSTON, Mass, Nov. 6-The house
that was formerly known as NO. 45S
Commercial street, Boston, was demol-
ished recently and upon It's site Is the
front sidewalk Of large brick pulldlhg
that is now in process of construction
Beneath this sidewalk, and in what
was formerly the cellar OF the premises
at No. 453, is the water end OF what Is
Boston's old days, when the tariff on
importations of q certain character was
well nigh prohiDltlVe, was real SNUG
glers' tunnel.
II has been sold by different author
ities that this tunnel or passageway ex-
tended across Commercial street as far
as Charter street, up the hill, and on
ward to Phipps place.
Some writer's have also limited that
the tunnel was a resort for pirates and
their plunder.
AS early as 1917 the Boston historians
were speculating upon the origin of
this mysterious excavation, its great
size and the thorough workmanship of
its masonry, showing both skill and ex-
pense in its construction, and the
theory of smugglers' retreat for con-
traband goods Is probably the correct
solution.
In connection with the Commercial
street tunnel has come to light more or
less tradition regarding one Captain
Gruchy, French adventurer, who ap-
peared unto Boston in the time when
the town was young, who bought the
Phipps mansion, entertained upon a
scale of unusual magniflcence for that
primitive era, and who drew upon the
profits of the smugglers tunnel for the
expense of his princely hospitality.
Gruchy seems to have been sort of
captain Of finance as we'll as smug-
gler, as he purchased Peter Buffers
warehouse, Boston's department store,
in 1850, which was located in State
near Chatham street; also the great
distillery of Philip Dumaresq, in Haw-
kins street. From John Ruck, the then
owner, he bought the mansion of Sir
William Phipps with it's great equip
ment of ballroom, stables, gardens, ter
races and the like. The ambitious
Gruchy was a veritable patrician
among Boston's plain and frugal people.
But the Frenchman suddenly disap-
peared one day.
1t is supposed that the cause of his
amazing wealth, the smugglers' tun-
mel, was revealed, to some one in high
authority and the discreet Gruchy
sought other fields to conquer.

made matters so lively in this village
that no more social functions are
pulled off after nightfall, nor is there
much counting by lovers in the open.
While Roy Miller, a prominently youth.
was out walking with his best girl last
night O large black bear dashed out of
cellar under their very feet With a
"woof. woof," he started helter skel-
ter for the outskirts.
The young lady tainted dead away.
and Miller had all he could do to carry
her to friendly house. Miller declares
the bear was as big as an OK. Many
others saw the bear as he flew.
Wednesday morning a big bear came
into the village and frightened the chill
dren on their way to school in the
Fifth ward. A small army of citizens
got out and shot the bear on the street.
