EYE NOT PATRIOTIC ENOUGH
ocuIist's Second Attempt Procures tor
Him Decoration From Hait'en
Emperor.

During the reign Of Emperor Sou-
lougue In Haiti one of his generals
wrote to an eminent oculist in Paris
ordering a glass eye. The oculist nat
tered himself that a successfully on
structed artificial optic would secure
for him a decoration Of honor by the
Haitian government; accordingly. no
devoted his entire skill to the produc-
ton of a work of art.
Six months after the shipment OF
the eye to Haiti. the Oculist received .
small box from Haiti. In his magma
ton he pictured the golden testimonial
to his skill. SO 1t was with horror that.
when he had unwound the folds OF cot
tor in the box, he say returned MIS-
work Of art. A letter accompanied the
box. Among other things 1t said:
The eye you have forwarded me is
Of a tint that resembles that OF the
Spanish flag. and l am too patriotic to
wear any but the color of my coun-
try"
Whereupon the oculist proceeded at
once to he admiralty. where he ascer-
tanned the colors OF the Haitian flag.
He then Immediately manufactured q
scarlet and green eye. of he approved
shades. and forwarded 1t to h en-
peror. who was much pleased with the
effort and who duly decorated the ocu-
list.
