EYE PROTECTION.
Better to Protect Them Than
Do Without

Two eyes are about the usual allot-
ment for the average man, woman or
child. Sometimes when one runs up
against another's crump1ed phalanges,
a black eye or a blue black eye is the
result.
1t is always a safe plan to care for
the eyes, be they black, blue or brown,
as soon as they show signs of weak
pesS.
"One of the important points in tho
care and consideration of the eyes is
to get only the best lenses and have
them fitted by an optometrist of rec
ognized standing" said DR.. D. R. Payne,
the Santa F'e Watch companys gradu-
ate optometrist.
Many diseases of the eye can be
traced 10 the fact that the wearing of
glasses has been postponed too long
and many blind persons regret this mis-
take the remainder Of their iives.''

1t is likely that the cut on the Good
win place will not be made this year
because the owners of the land are
asking $500 for the right of way. The
work would be otherwise done by the
North Topeka drainage board for flood
protection, but the board has not suff1-
cient funds this year for the under
taking. The right of way for such a
cut on the OStrand and Robinson farm
was donated. These facts were brought
out at the regular meeting of the drain
age board Friday afternoon. Other rou-
tine work was also done.

WITH MAN, IT'S SAID.
Gay Little Girl Came to Topeka

Poor Beast Was All "Tuckered

Because of her unfamiliarity with
the lasting qualities of that useful
animal, the horse. Grace Hamilton,
pretty, from Kansas City and with
other qualifications, languishes in the
city prison. And all for want of $25
with which to pay her fine.
The statement of the case contains
a few agreed facts One is that Miss
Oracle, Saturday afternoon, hired a
horse from the Law1ess livery. The
hiring occurred about 4:30 o'clock
before the animal had partaken of its
evening meal. The other is that at
$3.50 o'clock Sunday morning she was
still driving the horse and that she
had not fed nor watered it during the
meantime.
Drove to Country.
In police court this morning Miss
Oracle doled out to Judge Urmy the
information that she had driven into
the country Saturday night lost her
bearings and spent the night in a shed
near a farm house, sitting alone in
the buggy frightened almost to death
for fear something would happen"
to her. But it didn't, and so the next
morning she had found her way back
to the city. She had not taken the horse
to the barn because she did not know
where it was. Her intention was to
ask a policeman, but she did not see
any. Then she met a man from the
barn and he took charge of both the
maid and the horse. The maid was
taken to the police station and the
horse, scarcely able to walk, to its
place in the barn.
Is Gay Little Girl.
There is another story of the affair.
1t is to the effect that Oracle is a gay
little girl who came here from Kan
sas City for lark" and that she had
one. 1t is to the effect that instead of
being trembling with fear meath some
farmers shed she was driving on the
streets with man at 3 o'clock Sun

Eddie Collins -PhiladeLphia

Edward T. Collins was born in Mil lerton. Duchess county, New York, on May 2, 1887. Eddie was educated in the Irving school, Tarrytown, and en- tered Columbia university in 1903. He took up the regular college course, and graduated among the leaders of his class in 1907, receiving the degree of bachelor of arts as a fitting reward for four years of diligent high-brow re- searches. He was a member of the Columbia baseball hines of '04, 05 and '06, and did excellent work in the short stop department. He was also mem- Der of the football team in 1905, the last year the gridiron game was permitted at the Gotham institution. After the season of 1906 he was elected captain of the 1907 baseball team, but was barred from playing because of having played summer baseball during the summer of 1906 During this summer he had quite varied experience while performing with Plattsburg. N. Y., Rut- land, Va, the northern outlaw league and Rockville, Conn. During the early part of 1907 he acted as head coach of the Columbia baseball squad. He did not do much on the 1907 Philadelphia Athletic team, but his work in 1908 and 1909 demonstrated his caliber. To-day he is rated as one of the best in the business
