The Old-fashioned way of testing the
eyes was to have the candidate select
from a pile of assorted worsteds the
colors which the examiner would
name. But it was discovered by
shrewd surgeons that some of the can
didates were furnished keys to the
worsted skeins- These skefns had small
numbered tags on them for the con-
venience of the examiners classifica-
ton and the candidates were furnish
ed keys to these numbers by friends
in the office and memorized the co1ors
by numbers and not by shades II is
needless to say that in all modern ex-
aminers' offices the numbers have dis
appeared.
In the most up-to-date surgeons Of
fees there is found a complete set Of
railway signals, rugged up exactly as
used on the lines. These signals are
installed in dark room and the lenses
are so adjusted as to admit light of
varying strength, according to the dis
lance at which the eyes are being test
ed. For $500 feet, the distance at
which 1t would be necessary to distin-
guish a danger signal in order TO bring
a swiftly moving locomotive to a
standstill, the CLEAN of the lamp is
scarcely more than a pinhead Of light
The candidate must be able TO distin-
guish the red, green. white and yellow
lights and call them instantly if he
hopes to pass the examination
Not only are the eyes of the en-
pIOye examined, but a new applicant
has to undergo a careful physical ex-
animation, while every old employee has
to submit to denomination from time
time, as often as once every three
years on some systems. Engineers.
firemen and flagmen who wear glasses
are required TO undergo denomination
frequently, in order TO guard against
their eyes growing suddenly weaker
and incapacitating them for service.
Why Service Is Good.
The services OF railroad surgeons
are, of course, gratuitous as far as
injured passengers are concerned. It
frequently happens that passengers

sGNE RS. NJ" declares plaintively
I'VE that she does not understand
her husband. In fact, Mrs.
Ms" husband himself emphatically an
nounces such to be the case, so it must
be so.
But. while he is busy being misun-
derstood, 1 wonder if he ever takes
time to understand.
All men like to say that they do not
understand women; it is one of their
pet theories.
But deep in their hearts they think
they understand them absolutely.
Not one man in ten understands his
wife. He may or may not be conscious
Of the fact; but, if so, the knowledge
does not keep him awake nights wor-
rying.
Man is practical; woman romantic,
and the wonder of it is that they get
along as well as they do.
Before marriage, man never tires
telling a woman how much he loves
her.
What the Woman Wants.
After marriage he wants her to
take his love for granted; he can't be
forever repeating the love story
But woman wants to hear the story
far more often after marriage than she
did before.
The knowledge that she does not un-
derstand the man she loves is agony
to a woman. She will fret herself sick
over 1t.
Man is unhappy when his wife does
not understand him, for it involves a
certain amount of discomfort to be
misunderstood.
But he does not even try to under
stand his wife and he blames her for
his lack of comprehension.

MONDAY, OCTOBER "a. 1910.

At St. Paul's last Tuesday the
Democratic speakers offered to
divide time with the Republican
speakers. as usual. but the Re-
publicans got cold feet and went
off to themselves, speaking to a
small bunch of folks, some of
them colored, while the Demo
cratic speakers addressed a larg-
er crowd. Mind you, the Dem
ocrats stood their ground and in
vited the Republicans to come
on and speak, but the Republi-
cans, who refused the invitation,
accused the Democrats of rum
ming away. That sort OF inter-
probation in characteristic of Re-
publicans. They callit befrieDd-
ing the laboring man, the man of
moderate means, to pass tariff
bill in favor of special interests
and that makes those who have
difficulty in making ends meet
pay more for their clothes, bed
clothing, and other necessaries.
Of course they call offering to
meet the enemy running away.
They have to put things back

policies.

districts will certainly be repre-

this number of course being the
sixth North Carolina) and Fl
more will probably be Democratic,

Democratic membership of 1879;
while the Republican party will
certainly elect 100 members and
will probably elect 20 more, CIV

Estimates made by Democratic
papers place the results as much
more favorable for Democrats.

estimate is the strength that mas

mon knowledge that in 1898 the
Republican party. from Marion

against this amendment, and to-
day the platform endorsed
