BLIND MUSICIAN REeAINs VISION
AFTER sToRk's VISIT.
e Jersey Mans Recovery Of Ego
sight lie Considered Marvellous by
Physicians Who Thought He
Case Hopeless

Mercerville, N. although he ha>
been married five years. Peter Mayard,
a musician. looked upon the face OF
his wife for the first time but a few
days ago, and he believes that the
visitation Of the stork to his home
resulted in the restoration of his eye
sight. He claims that he is the hap
piest man in the world today, as he
found his wife to be prettier than he
pictured her In his mind.
Mayard's recovery Of his eyesight
is considered marvellous by physicians,
who believed that he would never be
able to Q again. When Mayard was
ten years old he was struck in the
right eye by a baseball and the injury
resulted In total blindness. However,
this did not Interfere with his educa-
ton, and when he reached the age OF
twenty-one he was considered an ex'
pert pianist.
Shortly after he had attained his
majority he met Miss Mary French, q
beautiful girl Of eighteen, who was
deeply impressed with his skill as q
musician. The friendship between the
two gradually deepened. Dan Cupid
took a hand and the two became en-.
gagged. Their marriage followed a
year later. They have been extreme.
ly happy. but are now still happier.
Mrs. Mayard was taken suddenly Ill
and her husband, although blind,
started to run in order to summon q
nearby physician. He thought he
could reach the house without dim.
Guilty, but stumbled over an embank'
ment and fell a distance Of ten feet
He was unconscious for some time
When he was recovering he was In
formed that there was an addition tc
his family in the shape Of a ten-pound
baby girl. 1t was a few moments after
receiving this information that he
suddenly began to shout for Joy, and
he made 30 much noise that he aroused
the neighborhood. He discovered he
could see as well as when he was g
boy. Mrs Mayard was greatly sur
prised at the news and her husband
when she had recovered sufficiently
for him to see her was amazed at heI
appearance.
why, 1 didn't know that I had mar
ried the prettiest girl in the countryl'
he cried.
He asserted that he thought hi
wife's appearance altogether differen
than 1t Is. Physicians who later ex
amined the musician pronounced hi
sight completely restored and attrib
uted the restoration to the shock o
the fall and the glad news in which
the stork figured.

the general order Of affairs finds them
displaying their charms separately.
Most of the coats are cut straight at
the back and in the front, with long
collars turned down at the back with
velvet, and in the front with braid.
Variations Of the Russian blouse order
are very difficult to find, which seems
to me somewhat Of a pity, since this
style is exceedingly becoming to many
figures. Becoming too Is the straight
tunic dress Of blue serge with turned
down lawn collar and patent leather
belts, and indeed these are hard to
beat; but as yet you cannot find them
ready-made, and must needs have
them especially achieved for your
satisfaction. l commend their charms
to the many excellent and sympathetic

test was advertised as part of the

Lindsay, who is known as the cowboy
King. and is the champion of West
Florida, was to contest with Bill
sykes, the champion of Levy county.
captain Lindsay arrived promptly
at ten a. m, mounted on his famous
pony, Greasy Streak. but Sykes had
n o yet arrived. Many cheers were
given for Captain Lindsay, and Kisses
given for Sykes, but Lindsay pointed
out that something might have hap.
pened TO prevent Sykes attendance,
and proposed to wait 30 minutes for
his arrival. After waiting 20 minutes,
a messenger arrived and reported
sykes was too sick to attend. This
was a great disappointment to the
crowd, but Captain Lindsay deter.
mined to give an exhibition of his
own.
he went to the corral where a large
herd Of fierce bulls had been penned,
and turning them out, headed them
Tor the river. Captain Lindsay thought
that when they reached the bluff that
they would turn and circle the en-.
closed side Of the picnic grounds, but
the day being warm, and the bulls
fretted by their confinement in the
E corral. they plunged over the bluff In.
p. to the river. Captain Lindsay was
Just In the rear Of a large bull when
the leaders went over, and threw his
lariat with unerring aim around the
big animals horns.
All would have been well, but when
the captain stopped his pony, he was
going 80 fast that the animal skidded
on his launches to within three feet
of the edge of the bluff and when the
bull struck the water the treacherous
bank gave way, throwing both horse
and rider into the river. Captain Lind
say is an expert swimmer, and would
not have been in any danger II his
spurs had not become entangled, and
he was carried under with his strug

about his condition for quite awhile
but he came around all right in an
hour or 30. and is In as good shape as

the loss Of the captains fine and
