THE TROUBLE WITH EYES.

Don't kiss the baby on the eye;
don't use your sweethearts handker.
chief to extract something from your
own eye; don't read with your legs
crossed; don't wear a veil, and taboo
big hats if you wish to prevent optical
diseases and blindness.
This was part of the address of DR..
George F. Suker of the Chicago Medical
Society.
Every baby is crosseyed at some
stage of its career, and our blind insti-
tutions are filled with persons whose
eyes are neglected during the first five
days of birth.
Heavy wells, and especially those
with polka dots, do untold damage.
"Read with the feet squarely upon
the floor. Don't cross the legs while
reading, or sit in a STOPPING position, or
leaning the face upon the hand.
when your glasses are constantly
requiring adjustment there is some
thing wrong with your health"

agree to hodge-podge conglomeratior
OF tariff that is high to a part of the
people and low to the other part. Is il
fair; is it sensible; is it at all promo
tive OF the ultimate aim?
The best way for the South to secure
low tariff is for her statesmen to in
sist, first, last and all the time, that
whatever sort of tariff the country shall
have it must be equitably apportioned,
doing even justice to all sections. Let
them stand for a revenue tariff as a
finai aim, but whenever that is impos-
sible then insist on a tariff affecting
all sections alike.
New England has fine time of it.
She levies robbery rates on everything
she sells, and by the vote of Southern
ere she puts free trade on everything
she buys. 1t is just the situation she
wants. Beware of her when she tries
to make our Representatives stand for
free trade by charges of inconsistency.

DO THEY THINK OF US IN DIXIE?

(In closing his address to the Confed
crate veterans in Birmingham IN 1913,
General Stephen ID. Lee used these
words, in referring to the dead Con
federates:
''Do they think of US in Dixie? Dc
they love us as Of yore?" Owing to
General Lees death just prior to the
reunion, the address had to be read to
his comrades.)
The Old Confederate Veterans, who in
days of sixty-three
Had fought in many a conflict, under
General r. E. Lee,
Were fastening on to Birmingham, with
hearts so glad and free,
To join in sweet Reunion, with Com
msnder S. ID. Lee.
They had followed him in sunshine. and
had charged with him in snow;
But he seemed to have a vision that his
time had come to go.
To join the ranks immortal, of the Vet
Grams gone before
Who were awaiting their Commander on
the bright celestial shore.
So he asked the waiting spirits as they
gathered round his bed.
The dear departed spirits of the brave
Confederate dead:
'Do you think of us in Dixie? Do you
love us as of yore?
Do you think of US in Dixie. on your
happy, heavenly shore?"
While he waited for the answer to his
message full of love,
To the dear old war-worn comrades in
Reunion up Above,
The gentle Southern zephyrs, swift the
answer to him bore.
eyes, we think of yoA in Dixie; yes,
we love you as of yore."

Mrs, Willie Commodore has returned
to her home in upper Lancaster after
several weeks visit to Mrs. Freddie
Conquest and others at Chill.
Maggie l.. Walker. of Richmond, is
the only negro woman in the world who
ispresident of thriving bank. She has
been ut the head of the institution for
some years, and, what is more to the
point, the institution over which she
presldes is in most fiourishing and
prosperous condition. The woman was
born and raised in that city, was educa-
ted in the public schools and for several
years was one of the public school teach
ers. She is intelligent and respected.
Nine years ago she was elected to the
position of secretary and treasurer of
the order of st. Luke, a colored organ
ization which had been in existence for
about 40 years. When she took charge
there was $40 in the treasury and the
membership was scattered and fast
dwindling away. She set about to re-
build the order. How we'll she succeed
ed can be judged from the fact that to-
day there is bank with $50. 900 capital,
the order has membership of some
thing like 100, 900 and the bank isengaged
in the general banking business and is
prospering.

A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.

Since my dear wife has gone,
But oh; brighter home than ours
In heavenis now her own.

EACH HARTMAN 100000.
Rumored Gift From Father Just Be-
fore His Death

New York, Oct. 7.-Charles A. Pea
body president of the Mutual Life In
surance company, and Charles G..
Tegethoff, the confidential secretary
of +. n. Hartman, who were the sole
witnesses of the will, treated lightly
yesterday the report in Wall Street
that the Hartman estate totals $780,
900 900 Messrs Peabody and Tegeth-
off are said TO have just completed
the inventory of the estate.
A companion report was that a
short while before his death Mr.. Har-
riman gave to each of his five chill
dren outright s6,OOO.OOO
Il had not before heard that the
Hartman estate amounts to S260,G00,-
600" said Mr. Peabody. Il hope that
is true. If it should be nobody would
rejoice more than |, for 1t would
mean that the heirs of my dead
friend will be very well on indeed"
Mr.. Peabody declined to discuss the
report OF the S6,000000 gifts TO tine
children. That is matter about
which know nothing and about
which | would not feel at liberty to
talk il | did know" he said shortly
Not over S15O,OOO,OOO
Mr.. Tegethoff talked about both re-
ports in the same vein.
The manager of a brokerage house
through which Mr. Hartman used to
trade, told a reporter that he could
assert almost positively that the es-
tate did not exceed Sl50,000,000
Naturally we have instituted in
-. ~ 1. 1
ascertain as definitely as possible the
fortune left by Mr.. Hartman, prin-
cipally because the bulk of it is in
the securities of the railroad proper
ties he dominated. Our highest esti-
mate does not exceed Sl50,000,0 600"
If 1t should turn out that Mr.. Har-
riman gave $30,O0O000 to his chill
dren before his death, that much of
the estate will be exempt from the
] per cent inheritance tax. But these
gifts will not make his children as
rich as were the children of Jay
Gould, the Vanderbilts or the Astors.
Miss Mary Harrlman's Farm.
The fact that Miss Mary Hartman,
the eldest child. has virtually taken
charge of the big Hartman farms in
Orange county, $4,000 acres in extent,
strengthens the belief that Mr.. Har-
riman made these gifts before his
death.
AS told two weeks ago, Miss Har-
riman has assumed active manage
ment not only of the farms, but also
of the Arden Farms Dairy company,
one of the best-paying properties left
4 rrFn-
were a part of his gift to her.
1t was denied yesterday that Miss
Hartman and Robert Walton Goelet
are bethrothed. Mr. Goelet went to
Europe a short time before Mr.. Har-
riman died. For several years he has
been director in the Union Pacific
railroad. He was put in the board
by Hartman.
