GORE SEES DAYLIGHT.
Possibility That He May Recover
Sight Is Growing Hope.

Senator Gore is able to see daylight
The chances for the recovery of his eye
sight are good. although not assured of
success. He is responding to treatment
in a way to encourage hope.
This information is afforded by the spe-
cialists attending him at the Episcopal
Eye. Ear and Throat Hospital.
This blindness of twenty-seven years
has been interrupted sufficiently to have
permitted him to distinguish his own hand
and shirt cuffs. Dr. Wilmer. his physician
considers this good cause to be sanguine
One eye only is improving. but this is
what was anticipated. The other eye is
believed to be past restoration.
Senator Gore left the Episcopal Eye. Ear
and Throat Hospital yesterday afternoon
and did not return today.
1t would be too much to say that there
is great hope that Mr.. Gore will recover
sight, even in one eye, There is a little
better chance than there was before he
went to the hospital. but the entire treat
ment still partakes of the nature of an
experiment.
Whether or not he will return to the

Their admission that they had not

they fastened to the home Of Rev. Thomas

That young White had the very hour

KITTREDGE DEFEATED
GAMBLE CRAWFORD FACTION
SWEEPS SOUTH DAKOTA.

SIOUX FALLS. S. D.. June 1O.-Returns
from Tuesdays primaries throughout
South Dakota are yet far from complete
but enough has been received to indicate
that the progressive or insurgent repub-
licans. headed by Gov. Crawford. have
swept tie state and defeated the staiwart
faction. headed by Senator Kittredge.
1t is likely full returns will show that
the insurgents have carried the state by a
majority of not less than 1900 to 1000. and
it may reach 5000. That Gov. Crawford
has been nominated a. candidate to sue
coed United States Senator Kittredge ap-
pears certain The stalwarts do not yet
concede that they have been defeated.
The fight was one of the hottest and
most picturesque In the history OF the
state and was the elimination Of bitter
four years struggle between the insur-
gents and stalwart republicans Of South

MUSINGS OF A GENTLE CYNIC.

At any rate when a man is shaking
hands with you he can't be picking both
your pockets.
The easiest man to fool is the fellow
who knows it all
Even a white lie has been known to
blacken a reputation.
Bad luck doesn't bother the man who
makes the best of it.
Some men are so dull that you couldn't
get a rise out of them with an alarm
clock.
A woman can't be expected to know
how to manage husband until she has
had at least three.
When girl refuses a fellow and he
threatens to blow his brains out, it mere
ly proves that he hasn't any.
It's toss-up between the gutter and
the fellow who never knows when he is
licked.
Some men seem to think that the
world owes them a debt of gratitude for
simply being alive.
Most men would like to be rich enough
to feel that they could afford to marry
for love-
There are people who always impress
me as looking for the worst and being
terribly disappointed it if doesn't happen.

why it is the best of personal and family

It acts pleasantly and naturally and

Newest Barber Shop Wrinkle.

There is a barber shop in New York
where they brush your clothes with a
vacuum cleaner. Here when the GUS
toner steps out of the BARRIERS chair and
with his check in one hand. and reach
ing in his pocket for the money with the
other, advances toward the cashiers
desk, the brush boy-a man it is here
advances on him, not with the usual old
time whisk broom, but with this very
latest newfangled busting apparatus, a
vacuum cleaner. This is in appearance
not unlike a somewhat wide, thin, fat
paint or varnish brush with the usual
handle, but from which the bristles had
all been pulled out. Where the bristles
might have been is the opening into
which the dust is drawn, and trailing
away from the other, what you might
call the top end of the handle, is long,
small. flexible rubber tube leading to a
fixed connection through which the dust
is drawn away. The brusher uses this
bristleless brush much as he might use
a paint brush, only instead of laying on
paint he draws out dust with it. He runs
it gently around the collar of your coat
and across your back and so on all
around. There is enough novelty in the
operation to make even men of mature
years smile
