BLIND NAN RECEIVERS SIGHT
Piece Of Cornea Is Inarafted on One
Eye-Tsken to Window. Describes
View and Darkness Returns.

Psrls.-A pathetic story was told
this week of a patient in hospital
who could see once. but has been blind
for many years and had recently re.
covered his sight only to lose It again.
4 piece OF cornea was migrated on
one eye and the patient kept under
observation four days with his eyes
bandaged. Then he was taken to a
window and the bandage was remov-
cd He gave a cry Of Joy. for his sight
had been restored In transports Of
Joy he described the color OF the trees
and told Of the realization Of his life's
dream to see again the beautiful
things Of nature.
The view was only permitted for n
moment. Two days later he was
again led to the window for another
sight Of the waving trees. but when
the bandage was removed slowly he
was unable to see. The bit OF grated
cornea had ceased to be a living thing.
The operation had failed just when 1t
seemed about to succeed.

Pursuing Woman.

Whatever the law Of man may at

forming the harmless. necessary
bachelor, there is a higher natural
law OF quest and capture which-ln
the opinion OF expert femino'ogists-
the predatory woman rather than the
comparatively timid and quiescenf
man fulflls. Nowadays woman Is the
pursuer, man Is the pursued. The
luckless wight who hopes to escape
the mantraps and springs OF matrl'
mony has need Of all his cunning:
there is no safety but in retreat: he
Is no match for the devious cunning
of the huntress who has marked the
game for her own. Mr.. Man may take
refuge In spleuetic lyrics about The
Female OF the Species, or The VAN

The woman spins her web and smiles
and is demure; she knows that he
may fling his caustic epigram about
The Serpent's Tongue. but-clever
arachnoid that she is-she will have
him at the last. She can afford to
bide her time and be patient, for
whether 1t be leap year or some other

said Bednall The girl ran across
some fields toward the canal, with
Bednall in pursuit, and when she
reached the water she jumped into
the middle Of the canal. 1t was dark
at the time.
Though Bednall was not very ex-
perienced swimmer, having only
learned to swim last year, and despite
the fact that he was handicapped by
his heavy corduroy trousers and rail-
way boots, he did not hesitate a mo-
ment.
Diving into the canal, he swiftly
reached the side Of the drowning girl
and brought her up on his back. Then
he swan with her to the bank.
There a heroic fight for the GIRLS
life began. Describing it, Bednall

SOMETHING OF A NUISANCE
Mr.. Fatherly Comes to the Front
With Some Remarks About
Mamma's New Footstool.

"The only Christmas gift whose
presence In the house I regret said
Mr.. Fatherly, "is a footstool which our
girls gave to mamma.
Mother is not an old lady, but tho
girls thought 1t would be nice for her
to have something to put her feet up
on and then ] think that as sort OF
subsidiary idea they had fancy that
1t would look we'll in the house.
"I am not familiar with footstool
architecture and SO l don't know OF
just what design this one Is, whether
it's A Louis XIV. or Louis Y. or what;
but I know it's built of mahogany, Is
oblong in shape, upholstered in green.
has carved legs with claw feet and
that for its size 1t Is pretty solid
piece Of furniture.
ION Christmas night when the girls
put that footstool under mammals feet
Isn't that lovely?' they said. and
mamma said it was perfectly beautiful
and she sat with her feet on it for the
rest OF that evening. But she has
never used 1t since; she isn't loot
stool lady yet.
Then the girls began setting that
footstool around in our parlor or IN
our library. where they thought 1t
would appear to advantage and where
1t would, by it's presence, enhance
the attractiveness OF our outht. 1t
has been during this time, while the
girls we're placing the footstool around
here and there to see how it would
look, that l have become best ac-
quainted with 1t by stubbing my toes
against 1t.
"For. you see. 1t was new to me,
and then, with the girls forever SHIFT
ing 1t around, really it seemed as II
couldn't go anywhere in those two
rooms without falling over that foot
stool.
Just now the girls have got that
footstool under the piano bench; they
are trying to see how it looks there.
The bench is of mahogany and it has
curved legs and claw feet, like the
footstool's, and In way the TWO
pieces OF furniture do harmonic.
hope that this harmony will appeal to
the girls strongly. and that there uli
der the piano bench, for long time
they will let this curiously, one mlgh'
almost say Indignantly, obstructive
footstool remain
