COLOR COMBINATIONS

In large factory in which were cd-

and struck fellow workman in the
left eye. The man afterward averied
that his eye was blinded by the blow,
although careful examination failed
TO reveal any injury, there being not

He brought suit in the courts for
compensation for the loss of half nf
his cyeSlght, aud refused all offers OF

OF the factory was responsible for an
injury resulting l. j an accident OF

The day of tnc trial arrived, and in
open court an eminent oculist. retained
by the defense. examined the alleged
injured member and gave it as his
opinion that IL was as good as the right
eye.
Upon the plaintiffs loud protest Of
his inability TO see with his left eye
the oculist proved him perjurer and
satisfied the court and jury of the fai-
sity OF his claim He did it simply by
knowing that the colors green and red
combined make black.
He prepared Il black card, on which
few words were written in green ink.
Then the plaintiff was ordered to put
OH II pair of spectacles with two dlner-
ent glasses. tie one for the right eye
being red, and the one for the left eye
consisting Of ordinary glass. Then the
card was handed to him, and he was
ordered to read the writing on 1t
through the glasses.
This he did without hesitation. anh
the cheat was ut once exposed. Owing
to the effect which the colored glass
must have had upon the green writing
the sound right eye fitted with the rel
glass could not possibly distinguish

card, while the left eye. which he pre-
tended was sigltlcss. was the one with

Death Of John 7. Russell.

John T. Russell. one of the pion-
eer residents of La Junta, died at
his home in this city on West First
street. last Monday evening, sue
cumbing to the shock of an amputa-
ton of his right leg performed eight
days previous. necessitated by an eff
fort to save his life, but which
proved unavailing.
John T. Russell was born near
Cincinnati. Ohio. March l, lS40, and
died March Is. 1907, aged 67 years
and II days. At the age of eight
he accompanied his parents to Fair

til the breaking out of the civil war,
a period of thirteen years. 1t was
here the young man laid the foun-
dation of his education, passing
through the public schools, and COM
pleting his high school career. He
pursued higher studies. including
the study of law, but owing to the
call to arms he never completed the
regular curriculum in legal studies.
At the age of 2l the youth dis
played his love of country by beng
one of the first in his adopted state
to answer Abraham Lincoln's first
call for troops. He enlisted in the
Second Iowa Infantry. remaining to
the close of the war. The modesty
of the young man is shown in the
fact that though in line for promo
ton he never wore commission,
though he was ever one Of the first
, to be called upon for responsible po-
sitions of trust and daring.
He was enlisted in the ranks Of
those army corps which did the Sc
verest fighting and was exposed at
times to the deadliest fire. He
was present at such engagements as
Shiloh and Vicksburg. At the
bloody battle of Shiloh he was en-
trusted with the delivery to the

by q shell from the enemy would

The old man smiled and said:
Here are 100 chickens and team
of horses. Hitch up the horses,
load the chickens into the wagon
and wherever you find man and
his wife dwelling, stop and make in
quiry as to who is the boss. Wher-
ever you find woman running
things, leave a chicken. If you
come to place where man is in
control, give him one of the horses. y
After seventy-nine chickens had
been disposed of. he came to a
house and made the usual Inquiry.
"I'm the boss of this ranch, y
