ALTOGETHER TOO OLD

Al OGE TEX IOO OID
The hostelry was very old and ia

ners of interesting memories. And
on these the landlord traded. Really,
the place had very little else to COM
mend it. Accommodation was made
quate, food bad, charges excessive.
Now cheapness, comfort, plenty of
food, and good fishing were the only
things about which young Jenkins,
when in pursuit of the willy salmon,
really cared.
He wasn't a little bit impressed,
therefore, when mine host showed
him to a miserable bedroom and vol
unteered the information that Lord
Nelson once had slept there.
"Umr' was his blunt reply. His
toricaI associations had no interest
for Jenkins.
"And that chair" continued the
landlord, still unperturbed, was the
very chair in which the great sailor
sat-"

The Stage Managers Job.

In the January American Magazine
Walter Prichard Eaton, dramatic critic
of that periodical, writes an interesting
article on the work of the stage man
ager. Following is an extract:
The drama, we must never forget,
is seen as well as heard. Indeed it may
be questioned if the sight is not some
times the more important element. Not
only does this mean that scenery plays
an important part, but that gestures,
facial expressions, pauses of pantomime,
swift, silent passages of quick action
or slow stretches of deliberation or wait
ing, are of the greatest consequence in
the total effect of the play on an audi
ence. Who is to devise this scenery?
Who is to plan for these gestures, this
pantomime. 1t must be the stage man
ager. If the author is not his own stage

might easily dispense with them. You may
be one of these. and it is your duty to save
your eyes before 1t is too late. The eyes
are neglected more than any other organ of
the entire body After you finish your days
work, you sit down and rest your muscles,
but how about your eyes Do you rest them
You know you do not. You read or do some
thing else that keeps your eyes busy; you
work your eyes until you go TO bed That is
why many have strained eyes and finally
other eye troubles that threaten partial or
total blindness. Eyeglasses are merely
crutches; they never cure. This free pre-
scription which has benefited the eyes of so
many may work equal wonders for you. Use
it short time. Would you like your eye
troubles to disappear as if by magic? Try
this prescription: Go to the nearest wide

tablets; fill two-ounce bottle with water,
drop in tablet and allow II to thoroughly
dissolve. With the liquid battle the eyes two
to four times daily. Just note how quickly
your eyes clear up and how soon the inflamma-
tion will disappear. Don't be afraid to use
it; it is absolutely harmless. Many who
are blind might have saved their

velously effective in multitudes of cases. Now
