THERE WAS NO CHARGE.
All the Seats In That Particular

At a certain church an aged usher.

duct persons to their seats. used to take
a stand in the center Of the church and
when any incomers appeared beckon
to them and then conduct them to a

knowing his popularity, used to pop
their heads inside the church door and
mimic his action by reckoning to him.
Many times he tried to catch one and
one Sunday morning nearly did SO.
But the boy rushed away from the
church and ran into the arms of pO-
liceman.
''What have you been up to" de,
manded the policeman.
Thought the boy. I'm caught" but
he said, 'Oh. sir. there's disturbance
at that church, and they have sent me
to fetch a policeman"
every good" said the oincer. "I'n
step In and see about it."
So he opened the door at the west
end Of the church and. taking off his
helmet. entered.
The moment the aged usher saw him
he beckoned to him and motiOned him
to a seat next an old gentleman.
Immediately he was seated he touch
ed the old gentleman and said. Come
quiet"
The old gentleman replied. what do
you mean?"
Oficer-You know what I mean. and
l don't want no chat Come quiet or
shall have to take yer by force.
Old Gentleman really don't under
stand you
Officer-Look here! We don't want
no more disturbances! You have been
kicking up quite enough. and I'm going
to have you out quick.
BY this time the congregation were
looking at the pair and wondering
what was the matter. so the old gentle
man said: Very WELL have not
made any disturbance, but to save any
Will go with you"
So together, to the wonderment Of
the congregation. they marched up the
aisle
When they had passed out of the
church the usher followed them. and
the policeman. turning to him. said:
"Now. then. You have to make your
charge"

Tired Eyes.

People speak about their eyes being
tired. meaning that the retina, or see
ing portion, of the eye Is fatigued, but
such is not the case, as the retina hard
ly ever gets tired. The fatigue is In
the inner and outer muscle attached to
the eyeball and the muscle of accom-
mediation which surrounds the lens OF
the eye. When a near object is to be
looked at this muscle relaxes and al
lows the lens to thicken. increasing its
retroactive power. The inner and outer
muscles are used in covering the eye
on the object to be looked at, the inner
one being especially used when a near
object is looked ut. 1t is in the three
muscles mentioned that the fatigue is
felt, and relief is secured temporarily
by closing the eyes or gazing at far
distant objects. The usual indication
of strain is a redness of the rim of the
eyelid, betokening a congested state of
the inner surface, accompanied with
some pain. Sometimes this WEAKNESS
indicates the need Of glasses rightly
adapted to the person, and in other
cases the true remedy is to massage
the eye and its surroundings as far as
may be with the hand wet in cold
water.

Folks to Whom Happiness Is Always
Just Out of Reach.
How many people go through life de-
tuded with the conviction that If they
could only get little more money, get
into q little more comfortable posi-
ton, own little better home, or If
they could only get over the particu-
lar trouble that is annoying them at
the time. they would be happy.
! know a man who had a very hard
boyhood, suffered great poverty, who
is now fifty years old, and he has al
ways honestly believed that If he
could only get the particular thing he
was after or get over the particular
difficulty that was annoying him at
the moment he would be perfectly hap
py, but he is the same anxious, rest
less. expectant spirit today as when
youth. He has been quite SUCCESS
full and has done some very remark
able things, but he is invariably in hot
water. There is always something
that nettles him or destroys his hap
piness. and, although he is a well
meaning man, he has made his family,
his employees and everybody about
him very unhappy because he is al
ways fretting aud worrying, always
borrowing trouble Success.

A Story of an Old Persian Poet and an
Aspiring Shah.
ITO be fair" said a noted dramatic
critic, lis sometimes hard and cruel.
and sometimes it is rash. You know
there are reprisals The answering
fair critic often takes up his pen with
the shrug Sof Omar. the old Persian
poet.
You have heard OF Omar's shrug?
No? Well. it was eloquent The shah
once had sent for the old poet.
"'Omar,' he said. 4 have written
some verses Listen, and ! will read
them to you
"And he read the verses and in the
ensuing silence looked at Omar anx-
iously. 'Well?' he said.
"'Heaven born said Omar gently,
each to his own calling. Scepter in
hand. you are most wise. just and
powerful but pen in hand Omar
shook his head and chuckled. Heaven
born said be- such verses would dis
grace niHe-year-old schoolboy.'
"His eyes flashing with wrath. the
shah shouted 10 his guards:
"'To the stables with this old fool.
and let him be soundly logged!
"Yet the shah. for all. respected
Omar's Judgment. and when. a week
later. another idea for a poem came to
his mind and was feverishly executed
he sent for the fearless and fair critic
again.
Another poem. Omar. a better
one I'm sure you'll think it is bet
ter one.' he said wistfully. And he be-
gan to read the second poem to the old
man.
"But in the middle Of the reading
Omar turned and started for the door.
"'Where are you goingY said the
shah in amazement.

shoulders.
