A defense of Gen. Leonard Wood and

Prince OF Illinois. il the. army appropria-
ton bill as reported yesterday by the con-
ferees comes from the Senate to the

visions he says are direct slap at both
President Taft and former President

officer stays out in the wids until he is
retired"
Looks for Veto.
Mr.. Prince believes the army appropria-

chance of being vetoed than any other
bill in Congress, if 1t Is passed.

Concerning EYestrain.

Eyestrain exhausts the entire nerv- GUS system, occasions the most in- tense headaches known to human be- ings. and deranges digestion, to say nothing of other ills which it induces. This being the case, the eyes must be given rest. They should never be used for reading when one is weak from illness or suffering any head ache or fatigue or strain; they never should be used in bad light or with the light shining directly into them. No eyeglasses-and this includes in- furious cheap smoked glasses should be used that have not been prescribed by an oculist of established reputa- tion, after careful examination. In many cases disfiguring glasses would never need to be worn if people gave their eyes the rest which they re-

With the Children.

The chief end of life is not really what we call success" That may cost more than it is worth, and often does. The chief end of life is living, and character. If life Is properly lived and character is made and acted out, success" takes care of itself.
 Sport, not winning, is the chief end of games. How the game is played is of far more consequence than who wins it Dean Briggs says: Base ball properly played, baseball bril- liantly played, may be not merely a great game, but school of self-con- trol and honor" So every game should be. That is the use of games. Play them to win, of course. They must be played to win if they are to be good for anything; but play them to win under the rules and by fair and honorable courteous competition Youths Companion.

upon their deeds as the result of the force of circumstances. Soleilland, the murder, called his crimes a mis- fortune. Anastay wrote: You under stand that I have been the plaything of circumstances" Vidal, the slayer of peasant women, wrote that he was fundamentally good and incapable of hurting a fly"
 Villon, the first great French poet, was a tramp, a thief and murderer yet his Grand Testament" is a pro found and touching poem.
 Eugene Nolent, commenting on a re- cent book by Raymond Hesse, the great French criminal lawyer, on the literature of criminals, says: 'This fondness of criminals for poetry may perhaps be explained by the fact that poetry enables one better than prose to express the ardor of his passions. For that reason these works always bear the imprint of the Me and fol- low the authors sentiments with most romantic grandiloquence." Maitre Hesse also notes that criminals habitu- ally plagiarize; they even steal the verses of famous authors and try to palm them off as their own.
 A typical specimen of the verse of criminals are those which Lacenaire, a murderer, wrote in prison. The fol- lowing is a good translation of one of them:
 Curse me, for I deride your vileness

 I scorn the gods you make to be. Curse me; my calm and unaffrighted
