A Bad Fall.

Fred Brown, manager OF the
New York Racket hardware de-
partment, had fall just before
noon yesterday that came near be-
ing fatal. He was on the second
floor of the warehouse when he
decided to let himself down by the
rope running over pully fastened
to the roof. He put his foot in a
ring at one end and asked w. d.
Jackman to help let him down. AS
he got off the floor, his foot shot
out and he came down flat on his
back on the hard floor. He was
rendered unconscious and phys
clans called for at once. DR.. VIM.
Harrison was the first to arrive.
He revived Mr.. Brown and found
only small break in the bottom
of his spine, and said he didn't con-
slider the injuries serious. He was
sent in bus to the home of his
cousin, Mrs. Jas. Unruh. He is a
cousin also OF Mrs. A. Nj. Keller.

Nature does not always make perfect eyes,.

of these ocular defects and is expected to
do close work of any kind he must have his
eyes fully examined and wear such glasses
