.Glasses and the Eyes.

Every one knows that in using
field glass 1t is necessary to adjust it
to q proper focus. Suppose that you
put one Of the tubes at your focus and
the other tube at q focus that suited
some one else and then you looked
through both tubes. You would have
4 more or less blurred vision, and 1t
you kept on looking the chances are
that you would feel giddy and get &

glad to have her help, and none Of us

social standing was as good as that of

plenty Of help at her house, and so she
came and assisted our mother ut our

Promises to the DYING.

A clergyman, discussing unhappy
owe affairs, said:
MANY love tragedy is caused by
husbands promise to a dying wife
that he will not marry again. He
thinks when he makes this promise
that it will be easy to keep. Whether
1t Is easy or hard to keep, it Is a
promise rarely If ever broken. Time
and time again widowers have sought
me out for advice on this subject.
They are in love, but they promised
their dead wives not to marry again.
Shall they break or keep this promise'
/ can only advise them to do as their
conscience dictates. At the same time
! think it is selfish Of dying wives to
extract such promises from their bro
ken hearted husbands. Such prom
ises, by the way, are rarely extracted
by dying husbands from broken heart
ed wives. But; then, when the dead
husbands will is read it Is usually
found that if the widow marries again
the money is all taken from her. So
It comes to the same thing In the end,

considerable interest to the coming
convention of Wyoming sheepmen. The
stations cooperative breeding tests
with the bureau OF animal industry
under the Adams bill, are in progress
at the King ranches and many of the
visitors will no doubt see something OF
that. The experiments the station is
carrying along on its W hook in
cross breeding for the ideal range
sheep will be of special interest, ar
allowing some sheep never before
shown to the sheepmen Of the state
Whether these sheep will add to the
productiveness of the flocks, both N
sheep and wool, as hoped for by DR.
Towar. the director, remains to be
seen. Some Of the breeds are SO en-
tirely new to this country and So un'
fitted, seemingly, to the conditions
here. that the evolution of the iderl
animals may not come through them
The visitors will have much to e and
wonder at in the work being done by
the federal government mt the state
In their behalf.
