SIGHT IS RESTORED
BLIND MUSICIAN REoAINs VISION
AFTER sToRK's VISIT.
New Jersey Mans Recovery Of Eye
sight Is Considered Marvellous by
Physicians Who Thought His
Case Hopeless.

Mercerville, N. Although he has
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 neve be
able to see 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, a
beautiful girl Of eighteen, who was
deeply impressed with his skill as a
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 a
nearby physician. He thought he
could reach the house without diff
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 to
his family in the shape of a ~ten-pound
baby girl. It was a few moments after
receiving this information that he
suddenly began to shout for joy, and
he made so much noise that he aroused
the neighborhood. He discovered he
could see as well as when he was a
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 her
appearance.
why, didn't know that l had mar.
ried the prettiest girl in the countryl"
he cried.
He asserted that he thought his
wife's appearance altogether different
than 1t is. Physicians who later g
amined the musician pronounced his
sight completely restored and attrib'
uted the restoration to the shock OF
the fall and the glad news in which
the stork figured.

BOY SAVED BY DOGS BARK
Young Joplin Lad Is Taken Uncon
scIous From Water, Where He
Had Fallen.

Joplin, Mo.-After slipping from a
high bank into deep water in Center
creek, Howard Ball, fourteen years
old, was saved from drowning only
as the result of the timely barking Of
two pet bulldogs, which attracted the
attention of passers-by.
The boy was alone except for the
dogs. Removing his clothing, he
started TO climb down the bank to a
place where he could enter compare
lively shallow water. Slipping, he fell
eight feet, striking his head on a sub
merged log. The blow rendered him
unconscious.
The dogs Immediately began bark
ing lrantically and two railroad sec
ton men hearing them, investigated
and saw the boys arm projecting
from the water over the top Of the
log. When rescued young Ball was
unconscious and for several hours It
vas not believed he could be revived.

PAYS FOR MACHINE SWEARING
Hungarian Judge Recognizes Swear
eTs Voice and Holds That the
Charge VIII Stand.

Budapest.-An amusing case was
tried at Arad, in Hungary, in which
a NJ. Schwartz, a gramophone dealer,
was sued for SANDER uttered by his
instruments.
II was explained that NJ. Schwartz
slumbers had ben disturbed by the
singing OF girls In a dressmaker's
workshop which was opposite his
bedroom. He protested to the man
ageress. but in vain.
One morning the girls were horri-
fed to hear the most violent abuse
and the strongest oaths of which the
Hungarian language is capable
trumpeted at them from the mouth OF
a gramophone placed in NJ. Schwartz
window o IN the other side Of the
court. Neighbors, of course, heard
1t. too, and the girls brought an &C.
ton for damages.
NJ. Schwartz declared in court that
he had been testing some new rec,
ords he had bought, as there was a
demand for swearing" records to
amuse parties.
The Judge, however, ordered the
record In question to be played IN
court. and as M. Schwartz voice was
recognizable. he was ordered to pay
five dollars damages.

Il would be cynical TO say that hap

s~ecretiye than the widest serpent

never be caught alive; when we hold
her, at last, IL is but to find her dead.
But occasionally, OF her own free VIII,
she drops down upon Us by chance IN
her light-hearted, casual way, and we
have a taste of what her companion

the hopeless and the bravely destitute
that happiness chiefly affects; as II
she knew all too well where she was
most needed and most appreciated. II
is not the %despairing she visits but

naughty and capricious and willful
and a rare and exacting vlsitant.
The old way Of teaching children
that happiness is a reward to be won
finally in heaven, after an arduous
service to virtue in this life, is no
longer fashionable, and we see the
young people Of the present day out
a perfect rost chasing happiness or,
as they Familiarity call it, "a good

spite of all the noise and the parapher-

When the train reached this city
the conductor went to the rear and
looked underneath the Pullman car.
Then he motioned to bystanders and
showed them the pussy snugly curled
up on the trucks under the car. The
cat was there when the train left Gin

with its ride. The trainmen were So
licitous that the a get through to

an omen of good luck. Pussy was still
on the trucks when the train left this

SEEKS $4,000 FROM WIDOW
st. Louis Man Sues Rich Kansas City
Woman Who, He Says, Proposed
With Alluring Offer.

st. Louis, Mo.-Fifty thousand dol
lars worth of disappointment is in
possession of at least one st. Louisan,
because a rich Kansas City widow
who, he says. proposed marriage (and
support) to him changed her mind
without the slightest provocation on
his part, and neither married him nor
supported him.
This is the substance Of a petition
filed at Kansas City by Martin Kapp
against Minnie Bickling of Pip Brook
Ign avenue, that city. In the petition
Knapp admits he was to have had GER
tain obligation under the marriage
proposal which Mrs. Bicking made
him. In the first place he was to wed
her, and In the second place he was to
spend much OF his time studying mu-
sic, so he might enrich her life with
melody while she puzzled over the
business OF the partnership.
According to Kapp, Mrs. Bicking
did not fail to impress upon him her
ability to provide the necessaries OF
life. One lot on Main street, Kansas
City, which he says she held alluring
ly before his eyes, was worth s165, 900
Mrs. Bicking apparently had nothing
TO stand between her and Kapp. There
we're no children. In addition she had
a love OF music, which Kapp could
satisfy.
Rapp. although forty-hve years old
had never married. and he saw no rea
son why he could not become the hus
band OF the 100000. He and thu
woman. he r~ecites, we're friends an,
affectionate companions in their youth
After Mrs. Bicking became a widow
Knapp asserts, they met In COLORADO
and their acquaintance was renewed
This was In October, 1909.
The meeting was followed by an in
vitation for Kapp to visit the widow
home in Kansas City, and It was Will
on such a visit her offer of marriag
was made. Kapp asserts. The petitio
mentions a letter said to have bee
written by Mrs. Bicking in which Kap
is referred to twice as sweet one"
II is all of this agony piled up whic
Kapp thinks worth one-tenth Of Mr.
Bicking's alleged fortune.
