Was the year that 1 began me study
Of Optometry. 1t is not necessary for
me to add a number of years of the
experience OF some deceased OptOme-
trist to make my experience appear
right to the general public. I learned
every branch of the Optical profess
sion. Not only the examination of eyes
and the fitting of glasses, but I
learned the making of Lenses This
is Of great advantage to you II you
wear classes and desire to wear the
best quality. for without this know
ledge it is impossible for any one
selling glasses TO determine the DIFF
ferent qualities.

The Indiana Pledge

Through the Anti-Saloon League and
other temperance organizations tens OF
thousands Of pledges have been dis
trbuted over the state of Indiana, of
which the following is copy:
1 hereby agree to work and vote for
the nomination and election, in 1912,
of only such candidates for governor,
lieutenant governor, and members OF
the legislative assembly, as are known
to be in favor of the immediate re-
enactment of the county option law,
and the submission to the people, at
the earliest possible date of constitu-
tional prohibition; and for the nom
ination and election of only such can
didates for attorney general, prosecut-
ing attorney, county commissioner.
sheriff, and all other offices, having to
do with the enforcement of laws, as
are known to stand for it's honest, i'm
partial and vigorous enforcement; in
each instance in convention, primary
or at the general election, where two
or more candidates, in favor of the
above, are opposed by one or more
candidates not in favor of the above,
I will support the candidate having
the best chance for election. I also
agree to vote and use my influence for
the selection of delegates to the vari-
Gus conventions Of my political party
who are in harmony with the purpose
of this pledge
These pledges are being generally
signed throughout the state. Politicians
are greatly alarmed and Indiana is on
the verge of one of the most interesting
campaigns ever fought in the state. The
voters are determined to have the county
option law re-enacted and they have
been so stirred by the repeal of that law
that their purpose is to push the fight
and secure statewide prohibition if
possible in 1915.

Good Old English Custom.

There was an old-fashioned custom
on the English road, which suspect
ts now obsolete, or practiced only by
the vulgar. Journeys of length being
made on horseback, and, of course by
brief stages, it was usual always to
make halt on the Sunday in some
town where the traveller might attend
divine service and his, horse have the
benefit Of the day Of rest, the 1nstitu-
ton Of which is as humane to our brute
laborers as profitable to ourselves. A
counterpart to this decent prae tice,
and remnant of old English hospital
ity, was, that the landlord of prin-
cipal inn laid aside his character Of q
publican on the seventh day, and in.
vited the guests who: chanced to be
within his walls to take part Of his
family beef and pudding. This 4nvi-
tation was usually complied with by
all whose distinguished rank did not
induce them to think compliance q de-
rogation; and the proposal of b,ttle
of wine after dinner, to drink the land
lords health, was the only recon-.
pense ever offered or accepted Sir
Walter Scott.

SHOES MADE OF SNAKESKlN
Fashionable Women Of London Being
Tempted to Conquer Their
Aversion to Reptiles.

From all reptiles the ordinary wom-
an shrinks in disgust. Yet fashion
able women are now being tempted
to conquer. their aversion to the ex-
tent Of wearing snakeskin shoes. One
Of the smartest boot shops in the
west end of London is Featuring"
these shoes; but up to the present it
seems to be uncertain If the fashion
will really establish itself on wide
spread lines.
Choice of quite a variety of skins
Is offered. There is the dark and
heavily-marked skin of the deadly
cobra, or the lighter skin, with it's
more delicate pigment markings, of
the rapacious python. The skins of
the viper and the boa-constrictor have
also been made up.
Snake skin is very soft, pliable, and
durable. The shoes are expensive,
Of course, for the skins are not too
plentiful, but this factor should rather
commend itself to smart people, as it
renders it much more difficult to copy
the fashion on cheap lines.
