examined for glasses by men who
claim to examine eyes by the old, incor-
rect way, which is done by everyone who
supplies glasses but us, will be agreeably
surprised by our scientific and wonderful
methods of fitting glasses.
We correct your eye defects by looking
in the eyes taking the exact scientific
measurements of the focus and shape Of
the eyes.
NO QUESTIONS ASKED, no trying
glasses on your face, until We have deter
mined your exact optical error.
The old tedious and tiresome way of
trying to fit glasses is either putting drops
in the eyes which often causes blindness,
or by trying on a lot Of glasses, and ask
ing you Can you see these letters?' or
do these glasses make you see better?'
After your optician does a lot OF CUES
sing. and has your eyes all out of shape,
you think you have been examined.
Think this over, and you can readily see
that you have been doing your own eX-
aiming, and that is no doubt the reason
you have had trouble to get glasses cor

trust and railroad magnates stick to
the Republican party and come up
smiling with their contributions when
danger threatens the party of protec-

Panama Contracts.

The letting Of the contracts for the
Panama canal has been again post
poned until Jan. IL, for it has been
discovered that nc contractors would
bid under the conditions imposed. 1t
has also been figured out that of the
$145,000,000 appropriated by congress
for the work only ST. 900 remains
u~nexpended, and az the cost will be
three or four times that amount it will
require another appropriation by con-
gress before the contracts can be let.
These are only a few of the principal
complications that our strenuous ad-
ministration has created.

FallacIes of the LaW.-By Henry S.
Wilcox of the Chicago bar, author of
FoibleS of the Bench, Foibles of the
Bar, Frailties of the Jury, etc. Cloth,
gilt top, POS pages, price $150, post
paid. This volume completes the series
projected by Mr.. Wilcox about one
year ago. 1t corresponds in style of
binding with the other volumes. but IS
about one-third larger and excels the
others in the breadth of its scope AMI
the terseness of its composition It
congresses i'll small compass a great
number of pointed objections, not only
to the laws of a general nature, but 10
the fundamental doctrines which form
their basis, and it exposes in a clear
light the defective character of the
machinery devised for their enforce
ment, and for the conduct of the gen
eral government. Nor does the author
contend himself with exposing the fai-
lacies of the law For every defect
pointed out remedy is suggested.
All who read this volume will be as
tonished to learn there are so manv
weak spots in our governmental fac
ric, and that the laws which have been
so long extolled as the essence of wis
dom are SO defective, not only in their
general structure but in their funda.
mental doctrines. Many may disagree
with the author in his conclusions and
many may doubt the efficacy of the
remedies suggested, but no one can
read this book and fail to be enter
portant subject. To lawyers and law
makers and all scholars as well as tc
the general reader, it should be es
pecially welcome.

where the livestock trade has acquired
somewhat of reputation, it is ex-
