CLEOPATRA HAS CAUSE
 FOR LIBEL SUIT SAYS
 SHhKESPEAREAN READER

Addressing a large gathering at Christ church parish house last ev- ening Rev. B. J. Craft, the rector, spoke at length on Cleopatra, pictur- ing her as one of the most misjudg- ed of historical characters. The speakers is deeply versed in Egyp- tian lore, and profound student of Shakespeare. His talk was interspers- ed with dramatic readings and imper- SonationS.
 Rev. MT. Craft said in passing judg- ment upon such a character as Cleo patra, the scales should be those of the age in which she lived, not our own. Though she has been called inn moral and cruel she was no worse, said he, than others of her time. Her alliance with Julius Caesar was solely political, for she looked to the estab- lishment of a. world kingdom.

 There are a good many super stitions about glasses Specta- c1e fakirs have been taking ad-
 vantage of this fact for many years. They have a long story about the peculiar material of which their lenses are compos- ed. They call them magnetic ed lenses,'' "eIectric lenses,''
 French pebbles, '"rainbow peb-
 b1es,' and thousand other high sounding names. They
 will tell you that by their won derful virtue an electric current
 is constantly circulating through the eyes and healing them of all diseases. They tell you if
 you wear them for six months you will never need glasses again We believe that this is
 true-we should never expect to use our eyes again if we wore that kind of glasses for six months. The secret of perfect glasses is not their magnetic effects, but in the skill and ac- curacy with which they are fit-
 ted. The best lenses in the world if not formed to neutral ize the peculiar effects of the eye, do more harm than good. Good lenses perfectly adjusted is
 our speciality.

ROOSEVELT GIVEN
ANOTHER DEGREE
Oxford University Aonors the
Ex-President

Oxford, Eng, June 8.-Former Pres
ident Roosevelt was the guest of Ok
ford. He delivered the Romanes lee
ture at the University of oxford and
the university conferred upon him the
honorary degree of doctor of civil law.
The lecture and the conferment con-
stituted the big feature of the day, but
it did not complete the programme,
which was about as crowded as any
that the distinguished American has
undertaken in his European travels.
Oxford a glad to see the former
president and made the fact known.
First there was a reception given by
the mayor of the corporation at the
town hall. The auditorium was filed
to it's limits and when the guests ap-
peared the students in the audience
joined in singing For He's a jolly
Good Fellow"
From the town hall Mr.. Roosevelt
made hurried visits to the leading col
leges and to other places of historic
interest. He was entertained at lunch
con by the American club, leaving
soon afterwards for the Sheldon the
alter for his lecture and the ceremonies
that added a u. G. l.. to the honorary
titles that have been bestowed upon
him.
Mr.. Roosevelt's subject was "Biolog-

STOCK PRICES ARE BuoYAN1
Market Affected by Agreement on
Railroad Rates.

New York, June 8.-The stock mar
ket showed a violent transformation
from the d~emoralized weakness of the
past few days and prices jumped in
even greater disorder than attended
the slump. First prices were from one
to over five points higher than the
previous nights closing.
The news that the dispute between
the government authorities and the
railroads over the proposed advance
in freight rates had been settled at
the conference at the White House
threw the uncovered bears into a pam
icky condition and they bid prices
upon themselves in their scramble to
secure stocks.

Congressman Godfrey Has introduced
Many Freak Bills.

Washington, June s.-Representa-
tive Harry NJ. Godfrey OF st. Louis
may never have monuments erected
for him after he had left this vale of
tears and a replica of his Adonislike
figure may never adorn Statuary hall,
but he will be remembered in Wash
ington just the same. He will be re-
membered as the man who introduced
more freak bills than any member con
gress has known for a generation.
Mr.. Godfrey capped the climax in
his peculiar line of endeavor this week
when he offered a measure prohibit
ing conductors of street railway cars
in the District of Columbia from ex-
pectorating on their hands or fingers
or otherwise m%oistening their hands
or fingers when issuing tickets or
transfers to passengers" The bill pro-
vides a penalty of SIS for the first Of
Tense and $40 for each and every Of
tense thereafter.

FEEL EFFECT OF AGREEMENT
Shippers in Conference at Chicago
Not B%eIIiqerent.

Chicago, June S.-A spirit of calm
ness pervaded the opening of the ship
pers' conference here, at which it had
been expected a vigorous fight would
be waged against the Eastern rail-
roads in their proposed freight rate
advance.
Instead of Immediately demanding
that the department of justice take
steps to block by injunction the pro-
posed advance, the committee of nine
teen, in its preliminary elaboration,
seemed inclined to temporize.
While the peace proposals were not
entirely endorsed by the shippers the
tone of the meeting was much less bel
ligerent than the previous n held.
here.

Child Badly Injured.

The little child of Mr.. and Mrs. A.
]. Frazier, residing near Kenmare,
was thrown thirty feet through the
air and received a double fracture of
the leg in a Runaway. The horses
were attached to a lumber wagon and
the child was riding with her father
when the accident occurred. The
horses IN running away smashed
things up badly. Finally the wagon
pole dropped, becoming stuck in the
dirt road, and throwing the wagon
over like a catapult, pitching the child
high in the air.
