You are Responsible
for Your Child's Sight

Your child's education and future
greatly depend on his eyesight.
If your Child suffers with strained
eyes, nervousness and headaches are
the result, consequently he is a poor
student.
The greater pei cent of eye trouble
is acquired or detsfoped during school
days. Neglect at this time is re-
sponsible for much of the present-day
eye trouble. Twenty five per cent of
all school children suffer from defec'
tive eyes. They fall back in their
class and are often taken out OF
school through ignorance of the cause
Many dull scholars" are so because
of some defect of their eyes. Timely
attention will prevent serious trouble

Civil Service Reform Dinner.

We hope that there will be a large representation of New Londoners at the annual dinner of the Connecticut Civil Service Reform association at the Mohican hotel. next Monday-even- ing It is cause for regret that seV eral thousand citizens must necessarily miss the practical talks by President Hadley of Yale university Hon. Geo. McAneny. borough president-elect of Manhattan, and other speakers of fair fame who are to be heard by the diners that night. These are high grade men, men who think and do things, who have a message which appeals to the average man. And talks by men of that character are all rare in every community. Here We have great president of a great university to speak on questions we are all in- terested in having answered and in the solution of which all desire to help; and an address by new man in the seething politics of Greater New York. There will doubtless be a pleasing contrast in the talks of these two men and information all the more accept able because it comes from widely separated sources. The members and guests of the association are in for a session of profit. particularly as Col. Norris G. osborn, the eminent editor of The New Haven Journal Courier, will as toastmaster Supply the intro auctions" for the principal items for mental digestion.-New London Tel graph.

The British Battle Royal.

Mir. Asquith, the British premier, has delivered his manifesto, and he pro- tests that the liberals have no inten- ton to abolish the house of peers but that it Is designed to reform that body and establish forever the principle that touching financial matters. which embrace revenue and taxation, the house of commons shall be supreme. This in the United States would amount to taking from the senate the right to do anything with a tariff bill, but to pass is as it came from the house of representatives and would deprive the prsident of his veto.
 On the other hand. MT. Balfour the leader of the opposition, contends that the power to tax is the very flower of government and if the hereditary house of parliament shall be deprived of the privilege to take part in the making of budget, there is no use for it's ex- istence whatever. He might have quot ed Burke on the regency bilp' about the barren sce9ter in my hand" that Is unexcelled as passage in English political eloquence,
 And so it is 8 very pretty quarrel as it stands,as Sir Lucius O'Trigger would say. There never yet was a vital or paramount political issue in the poli- tics of England or America that did not have two sides to it, for government is not yet an exact science, and a fool of either party is nearly but not quite as apt to be right as the wisest man of the other party. A quack cured a sore on the foot of vice president of the United States that most eminent sur- geons diagnosed as a cancer and cer- tain death in a few days.-Washingt Post

BREED THEATER.
Master Harry Noonan Norwich's
 Popular Boy Soprano.

The many patrons of the popular Breed theater will hail with delicht the announcement of the return en- gagement of Master Harry Noonan, the popular boy soprano, who enter tained thousands of them during his engagement at the Breed in August last. This young lads popularity in the big Boston theaters led him to be engaged to sing upon different patri- otic occasions for the officers of the various war vessels and their friends and the marines, and when singing for them upon recent occasion he was presented by the officers and crew with a complete naval uniform made to order for him. on the United States scout steamer Salem now in foreign waters, consisting of every necessity of ssch a suit. It is need less to say that the little white uni form is a beauty and is in middy form, with all the fascinating access sories. the officers giving him a high rank in the insignia on the arms.
 He will sing fetching nautical song for the first part of the week, ap- bearing in this suit, which he wears with the air of an old salt. The great feature picture of the week is entitled "A Rose of the Tenderloin,' hy the author of "Chimmie Fadden," and reveals a new phase of life in the shadowy side of New York's busy life. The biH of the week is a special one and of great merit

THE AUDITORIUM.

Christmas week at the Auditorium promises to bring forth a banner bill. The programme is headed by that tal- ented company of players, Kelso, Leighton & Co.,, who present the mirthful farce comedy, A College Hero. This act, coming direct from the large metropolitan theaters, is along worth the price of admission. A novelty is the act presented by the singing cartoonists. Brown and Brown, who are too full blooded Indians. Jack Mole is an expert bicycle rider who will demonstrate his skill and add to the entertainment. A snappy team are Coulter and Wilson, the original "Rah Rah Boys Something doing every second these boys are on the stage. By request, Lillian Morelle will sing that vocal masterpiece, Tosti's Goodbye; also the lively illustrated march song Amt Alabama Good Enough for You, Sue? A dramatiza- tion of Longfellow's poem, Maud Null Ter, will head the list of motion pie lures.

System and the Men.

The investigation of municipal meth ods in the city of Montreal has now come to a conclusion. What remains to be done is to set up and maintain stout barriers against a return to the famil- far practices. The report of the judge who presided over the inquiry finds that more than 25 per cent. of Montre- aPs money has been wasted in graft and patronage every year for many years. To Americans who have been concerned with like transgressions the estimate will not seem extravagant. The report does not censure persons, but ascribes the corruption and ineffi- ciency chiefly to the administrative system. It is recommended however, that officeholders who have been iden- tified with the practice be proceeded against.
 The opinion is a reminder that where a system is loose individuals may be expected to take advantage of it. Hu- man weaknuess is proverbial. The dem- onstrated corruption "has been caused shove all by the patronage exercised by the aldermen in their committees and in the council in favor of their rel atives and partisans; the last receive contracts, benefits and positions to the detriment of the general interests of the city" Old as the story is, it is al- ways painful to @ righteous civic sense

How the Watch Came Back.

Some strange incidents in the life of a lawyer are recalled by the death last week of F. T. Webb, one of the best known legal men in England. A few years ago he successfully de- tended a man charged with burglary and a few days later there came to him by post a valuable gold watch with an inscription to the effect that it was a gift to him from a certain London society, presumably of doubt full practices, as an acknowledgment of his clever defense of one of their members.
 Mir. Webb wore the watch a great many years and not long ago had it stolen from him at a race meeting. He thought of course it was gone for good, but three days later back it came to him again through the mail with a letter of apology stating that i've never rob one of our pals."-Lon- don Letter

The Editor and the Lady.

Richard Watson Glider was a small, slightly built man, with the same mingling of the feminine and the seraph that we imagine in Shel- ley; his eyes bespoke the poet-large, dark, far seeing, melancholy always even when he smiled. Not hurting" was almost a religion to him. There is a writer whc remembers going to him with a letter from the late Charles Dudley Warner and some manuscripts for sale. She was nurs- ing what seemed a Torlorn hope; she was very tired and rather hungry and inordinately afraid, and it was in a blunt, steady uncompromising pour. The would-be authors feet were wet and her black gloves thor aughly damp, and MT. Glider came out from his office far eyed, pre-oc- cupied. forbidding. He stood up and let the lady stand; he listened with impatience and dismissed her cur more icy than the atmosphere of that office. Finally the poor writer es- capped, choking down sobs, but the tears rained before she reached the elevator She faced the outer door to find the rain still uncompromising and she had left her umbrella on the fifth floor of the Century building. 1ACIC WdS O BA dAlA VI pAoSNiSNAA
 mon sense at the battom of the writ CTS soul, and she realized that more than ever because she was an utter failure, must she take care of her umbrellas; so, bravely she faced the elevator boy, the line of clerks in the outer office, the two stenographers in the anteroom, and. to her horror, MT. Glider himself. But in the interim he had somehow shed the formida- ble editor; he was Richard Watson Glider, editor and man, with soul magnificently free. He made the writ CT sit down, he apologized for the weather. and said he had ample time to talk. He promised to read the manuscript carefully himself, and if he could not take them to tell candidly why. And he sent her, the second time, beaming past the long line of clerks and proud before the elevator boy! He accepted a manuscript by special messenger that night, and he remained ever after a willing adviser and helper of the writer. To the writ CT the whole matter grew to seem a comic incident, joke. a good story to tell, but MT. Glider never liked it. Don't tell that story" he would say. Don't remind me of it. One may have done it so often when they were not obliging enough to cry, and so one never knew" For even when it lay a decade or more in the past he could not bear the pain of having inflicted pain.-L.
