Charles John Cutclifc Wright Hyne. the
eminent English novelist and traveller,
has contributed the leading prize COM
peting story for our next Sunday Maya
zine, which Is a special treat for our
readers. As Mr.. Hyne's recreations are
big game shooting. automobiling and en-
thusiastic cave hunting, il may be readily
seen that what he writes will be Of an
exceedingly strong. adventurous and dra-
matte character. Anchored" partakes
of this nature. and once started is sure

al one sitting.
IL is tale of Central America, with
IN Englishman for the hero whose i'm
perturbability no peril, no matter how
frightful. could disturb for a minute.
This Englishman. Lord George was a
gun runner for one side in revolution,
but was caug by the enemy tied to an
anchor and shunted over 10 the edge OF
the vessel. with the understanding that
he would be pushed of unless he told
where the cached rifles could be found.
Lord George smilingiy refused, even
though he knew that tie threat would be
made good. and was unceremoniously
dropped into the Shark-infested sea,
where he swiftly sank to the bottom. Did
This disturb the hero? Not bit, for
oh, IL would De shame to spoil our

Mr.. Editor:
! want to call your attention
to some things in Pencader.
lst. | advocate in certain
measure, that ito the victor be-
longs the spoils.' This, of course
if the victor is a good man quail
fed for the office. Pencader has
for several years been held in the
Republican column-though con-
sidered a Democratic safety. We
have no men of sky rocket bril-
liancy, but good as men go. But
in the natter OF appointments,
you wouldn't know that Pencader
was on the map. The appoint
ments that have broken }he cam
els back White Clay had two
officers in the Court House. An
other was needed--an appoint
ment that was given for Pencader.
Who got it? A Pencader man !?
No-a White Clay Greek man re-
ceived the appointment that had
been allotted to Pencader.
I'd. The Elkton Road-Money
spent in Pencader, a Republican
Hundred, secured by Republican
Legislature; surely the Inspector
will come from Pencader. No-a
White Clay Creek Hundred man
is the only one capable of inspect
ing a Pencader road. And White
Clay Creek, Republican Hun
dred-sad, but true, it is not.
Isn't it possible to find man in
our own Hundred who is capable
OF doing ANYTHING?
Now, again, the Baltimore and
Philadelphia turnpike going ovel
Iron Hill gets nothing. It's the
only road leading to Cooch's
Bridge that is NOT improved.
No one will dispute the fact that
it is not needed. ! know Demo

promise of having this, the old

Policy of Economy.
Greater interest than usual will be
taken in the big appropriation bills of
the next Congress. When they as
sumed control of the house organiza-
ton, the Democrats announced that a
policy of economy would be pursued
and pursued vigorously. They began
economizing by cutting down the ex-
penses of the house itself. Then they
went after the capitol expenses.
In each case they slashed with a
will and made good showing.
In December, however, it will be
necessary for congress to provide
nearly a billion dollars with which to
run the government for the next fiscal
year. The Democrats sincerity in
economy will be demonstrated then.
II they reduce the cost of government
from $200,O00,o0 to $500, 100000. they
will be able to go before the country
with a decidedly favorable record.
This is their present ambition.
Both Republicans and Democrats
want to adjourn congress early next
summer. They will be eager to open
their individual campaigns, as well
as to get into the presidential fight,
and leave as much of the general leg
islation as possible for the next con-
gress to pass upon. In spite of this
disposition, there will be plenty of
work to do.

Some Things That Are Said to Affect
the Sense Of Vision.
Many eye defects. Of course, are due
to the bad habits Of their possessors.
Tobacco, for instance. Is generally held
to impair the vision. usually injuring
the color sense so that gold and silver
become indistinguishable. According
to some medical authorities, again. the
connection between eye and tooth trou-
BILE is more than an old wifes fable. In
his book dealing with the subject Han
cock relates the story Of boy who
woke up one morning to find himself
blind. On examination his teeth were
discovered to be crowded together, and
few Of them were removed. with the
result that by evening he could distin-
guish between light and darkness.
More teeth were removed, and in elev-
en- days his sight was fully restored.
Other cases which tend to show the
connection between eye and tooth trou-
bic have also been noted. Very fire.

with one or other eye defect. Thus
nystagmus Is sometimes known as the
miners disease.
Nystagmus is an involuntary oscilla-
ton Of the eyeball to and fro or round
in its orbit. In contradistinction to
glaucoma. it is a young defect. having
been noticed In infants, but sometimes
it attacks miners after forty. Miners
are inclined to attribute the failing to
the bad light. but it is more likely to
be caused by the continual upward
glance so often necessitated by their
occupation.--Strand Magazine.
