HIS FIRST PAIR OF GLASSES
Man Thought He Was Seeing
Things" and UnIustIy Blamed
His New Aids TO Vision.

It happened in Boston. He had
gone there to get fitted to some eye
glasses. 1t was the first time he
used them and when the oculist hand
ed them to him he remarked that he
guessed he would put them on and
wear them.
Better not" remarked the oculist.
Wait until you are home and can
get little accustomed to wear
ing them"
But the man put them on just the
same. paid the bill, left the office and
started down the street. Everything
went fine. He could see everything in
sight with clearness and distinction
He turned into Winter street and
threaded his way through the throng.
Suddenly something seemed to go
wrong. Standing out from the rest OF
the crowd appeared an enormous man.
He lowered high above everyone else
on the street. The man again focused
his gaze. thinking 1t was a trick OF
fancy But there doomed the big man,
feet above him. With a startled ex-
clamation he jumped TO the conclusion
that his glasses were the trouble. He
snatched them from his nose and with
his naked eyes looked again.
There he saw the giant man still ap-
proaching-on high stills and bearing
pIacards of invitation from his en-
ployer. II was no fantasy OF the
glasses, after all. But he did not put
them on again until after he reached
home.
"T had all wanted Of seeing
things" he remarked.

ITALY UNDER MANY RULERS

Has Been Prize Worth the EN-
pendIture Of Blood.

Charlemagne tackled Italy to his un
wieldy empire and left it to his weak.
ling son, Lothaire, by the treaty OF
Verdun in s43. The peninsula en-
joyed a measure Of peace for some
years, then petty counts and dukes
began a series Of internecine ware
which continued until Ohio the Great
marched into Rome in 962 and forced
the pope to place the imperial crown
of gold on his head That was the
beginning of the Germanic holy Ro-
man empire. II established a prece-
dent for the German emperors. and
they continued bringing their armies
across the Alps to feast on Italy's
plenty until Conradin, the last of the
ADMINISTRATIONS, was defeated in 1858.
The Hapsburgs then took up the pur-
suit of Italy
The feudaI system never gained
firm hold in Italy, which lightened
the labor of Germanic commerce. In
1886 the pope and the free CONNER
cial cities made a common defense
against the emperor. They had more
or less success until Frederick Bar
barossa swept down on the land and
buried all opposition. The Lombardy
league collapsed in 1877, and Italy
became as much a German province
as Alsace is today. No German en-
peror in those days rested content I'M
til the pope had placed the imperial
crown on his head-first the silver
crown at AK la Chapelle, then the
iron crown of Lombardy, and then
the one at Rome.

have been visiting at the home of ].
E. Moury. They are well impressed
with Colorado and may decide to re-
main here.
Our school board decided to give the
children and teacher a holiday Tues
day on account of children's day at
the Prowers county fair. The Para
dox school is represented in the ex-
hibit of rural schools, also.
The Paradox Embroidery club was
very pleasantly entertained at Rio
Vista, the cosy country home of Mr..
and Mrs. 7. F. Hover, on last Thurs
day afternoon. A very delightful
time was spent and a dainty luncheon
served by the hostess at the close of
the afternoon. Mrs. Hover was as
sisted by Mrs. White, Mrs. ]. H.
Haskins and Miss Gladys Haskins.
The next meeting will be an all day
session with Mrs. Ollie Thompson of
Wiley.
Much credit is due our board of ed
ucation for the many improvements
being made on our school premises.
Among the various changes made may
be mentioned new woven wire fence
with boxing over the top, iron gates
and a new cement cistern. Other i'm
provements are to be made at once,
which will add to the attractiveness
of the grounds and to the health and
comfort of the children who attend
our school. The people of our com
munity are to be congratulated on hav-
ing progressive set of men to handle
their school problems.
Invitations have been issued an
nouncing the wedding of Miss Beryle
Cary of Roscoe, Mo-, to Mr.. Ralph f.
Hall of Paradox on Wednesday even

Mr.. Dewitt Forest Cary, Roscoe, Mo.
Miss Cary lived here several years
ago and will be welcomed by her many
friends here who knew her then.
Ralph has grown from childhood in
this community and is admired for his
integrity and worth, and his many
friends are pleased to know that he
has chosen for his helpmate in life
such a gentle, refined and cultured
lady as Miss Cary. Congratulations.
Our farmer folks are certainly busy
at this writing, cutting corn, filling
silos, putting up the last cutting of
alfalfa hay and getting ground ready
for fall wheat. Yes, Barnard's thresh-

ing out the golden grain in our burg,
and will not have finished for some
time yet.

1t is fair to assume that John
son and Pinchot could poll at
least this number of votes in a
presidential contest. If this mill
lion and a half be subtracted
from the progressive party vote
in 1912, it leaves 3,4S4,956 yot-
ers who might return to the re-
publican ranks, and Wilson would
still be elected by a plurality Of
1885 even If he did not get

In 1912.
In other words, the progress

WASHINGTON, April 20.
The nomination of Gov.
Hiram johnson of California
for president, with Clifford
Pinchot as his running mate
as candidates of the progress
sive party, is seriously talked
by the progressive managers
who are watching the ma
neuvers Of Root, Barnes,
Smoot, PenrOse and the
standpat republicans.
A man who recently has
talked with Victor MurdOck,
chairman of the progressive
national committee, admits
that the suggestion Is under
consideration.
According to this plan the pro-
gressive party convention would
be held before the republican ma.
tional convention. IL the repub'
licans decided to put up can.
didate satisfactory to Roosevelt
and the progressive leaders,
man like Norris, Cummins, OF
Borah--the progressive support
could easily be turned to the re
publican candidates, johnson anf
Pinchot withdrawing from thu
race.
On the other hand, If the re
publican managers persisted In
going forward with the plan Il
name O man of the Root or Taf
type, the progressives would have
a ticket In the field and would b.
able by voting their strength Il
insure the certain defeat of the
republicans.
Hold Veto Power.
In the 1912 election, President
Wilson's popular vote was $685..
019; Roosevelt's vote was 4,119,.
5O7; Taft's was 3,4S4,956; while
Debs polled approximately L..
900, 600 votes.
In the congressional elections
last November, the strength oil
the progressive party had dwin.
died to 100000 votes. These
voters may be regarded as sir
reconcilables;" as men who pre-
fer to vote their political convic-
lions even when they know that
