 WIT HREVolVER SHOT.
Ten-Year- Old Max Roaoff Fired Pis- toI He Didn't Know Was Loaded On Farm In MontviIls.

Seven-year- Julius Rogof was shot and instantly killed Friday af- ternoon by his cousin. Max Rogof, ten years old. Max Rogof confessed on Saturday to Coroner Brown and Med ical Examiner Fox. The coroner de- termined that the case was an acci- dent and did not hold young Rogof, who shot the revolver at his cousin. thinking it was not loaded.
 The first version that Medical Ex- aminer Fox got of the death of the little boy was to the effect that he had been playing unobserved with re- volver that lay in a bureau drawer and that it had exploded, killing him. This version was related to the med icalexaminer and coroner, but there were suspicious that this was not the truth and after an exhaustive inves- tigation Saturday, the facts were made known
 Dr. Fox was notified late Friday af- ternoon that boy had accidentally shot himself at the farm of Harry Rogof at Chapel hill He informed Coroner Brown and the two officials went there. The body of little Julius, son of MT. and Mrs. Reuben Rogof of The Bronx. New York, was shown to the coroner and medical examiner and the story of his suicide while inno- gently playing with a loaded cartridge was told
 Dr. Fox examined the wound, which showed that the bullet had ploughed out the right eye and passed through the floor of the brain chamber It's

TO S AVE EY ES.
Is the Object of ThEs Frse Prescription Try it if Your Eyes oivs
 You Trouble.


 Thousands of people suffer from eye troubles because they do not know what to do. They know some good home remedy for every other minor allment, but none for their eye trou- bles. They neglect their eyes because the trouble is not sufficient to drive them to an eye specialist, who would, anyway, charge them a heavy fee. AS a last resort they go to an optician or to the five and ten-cent store, and oftentimes get glasses that they do not need, or which, after being used two or three months, do, their eyes more injury than good. Here is simple prescription that every one should use.
 5 grains Optona q tableD
 2 ounces water
 Use three or four times day to bathe the eyes. This prescription and the simple sOptona system keeps the eyes clean, sharpens the vision and quickly overcomes the inflammation and irritation; weak, watery, over- worked, tired eyes and other similar troubles are greatly. benefited and softentimNs cured by it's use. Many re- ports show that wearers of glasses have discarded them after a few weeks use. It is good for the eyes and con- tains no ingredient which would in- jllre the most sensitive eyes of an in fant or the aged Lee & Osgood or any druggist can fill this prescription promptly. Try it and know for once what real eye comfort is.

QUEER PEOPLE OF MALAY PENINSULA Pauggauys Have No Use for Money-Bury All They
 Get

London, August 22.-(Special. .)-Ridei Haggard himself, whose most famous he- roine is irresistably suggested by their chieftainess, never imagined a queerer race than the Panggangs, a new and as- tonishing native tribe that has just been discovered in the mountainous jungle land between Trengganu and Kelantan in the northern part of the Malay peninsula
 These Panggangs, as they call them selves, whose perhaps queerest trait Is that they have no use for money, are of a negroid type, whose social organization is that of simple form of common wealth, and who are nomadic, wandering about from place to place in their dense jungles and forests. They sleep on the ground, covered by single, large palm leaf
 Among them dwells a woman named Toh Medang, whose strange character istics are strongly reminiscent of Hag- gard's famous She" This woman Is sup posed to be great enchantress She is held in positive dread by the Panggangs who declare that anyone incurring her displeasure will assuredly meet with awful and mysterious calamities. Toh Medang lives alone in bamboo hut shaded by the leaves of the sacred Ubang tree. She lives on special food brought her daily by the oldest man or woman of
