Can't Afford 1t

While the sight OF very few people Is
as good as IL might or should be,
almost everyone imagines that he
can see perfectly, and evidence TO the
contrary 10 usually ignored.
Don't try to deceive yourself. Bad
vision will surely handicap you.
Every man. woman and child needs
keen vision. The chlld-that its edu-
cation may be accomplished with
the greatest ease and efficiency. The
woman-that her Homework or
business may be achieved with dis
patch and accuracy. The man-that
his business may be we'll and quickly
done.
Bad vision is something which no
one can afford to tolerate-and none
need remain without aid.

IN QUANTRELL'S DAY
The Death of William Brown Recalls
the Day of the Raid on
Lawrence.

LAWRENCE, Kas., Nov. 24.-Days
Of the Quantrell raid, when Lawrence
was burned and many of her citizens
were killed, are recalled through the
death at his farm here recently Of
William Brown, 81 years old. Mr..
Brown, who was born in Gavin Coun-
ty, Ireland, November 16, 1897. came
to Douglas County, Kansas, in March,
1858, and was living on 1o-acre farm
mile south of Lawrence when the
notorious guerilla, Quantrell, and his
band raided the town in August, 1893.
Mr.. Brown operated a dairy from
his first days In Lawrence until his
death, and It was due to this fact that
he was probably the first man to see
the approach of the guerillas. Mr..
Brown attempted to notify Captain
Bickerton, commander Of the troops
assembled for the protection OF the
town, of the raiders presence, but on
learning that the men were scattered
and their arms stacked in the town,
he rode nine miles southwest to the
town of Clinton to summon the aid OF
Captain Creel and his men. On re-
turning toward Lawrence, Mr.. Brown
learned that the town had been burn
ed and that his own home also had
been burned by the raiders on their
way out of town. However, his wife
and two small children had found
safety west Of the town.
Some time after the QuantreI raid,
Mr.. Brown served in Hineman's militia
company, q Lawrence organization,
during the Kansas Missouri border
troubles and he took part in the de-

night and told this Watterson story:
81 have found that the golden crown
of human nature is sympathy, and
that it never sinks beyond the reach
of redemption.
Years ago, I worked on the Louis
Vile CourierJournal in Louisville,
Ky. Henry Watterson, who was then
editor Of the paper. sent me out into
the country on q 2-day trip to cover a
meeting. l had to do my travelling on
a horse. The animal belonged to the
journal.
when nearing the end of the first
days travel, was attracted by large
bed of mint leaves in front Of an old
fashioned house. As I stopped to
gaze, a man, evidently the owner of
the place, walked out and greeted me
with the information that no stranger
ever passed his place without having
sampled at least one of the famous
mint juleps made by q servant who
was known as q master Of the art.
Il thanked him. but refused, upon
the grounds that 1 was in a hurry and
therefore could not stay any longer.
We argued until finally he aim
dragged me off my horse. The famous
servant made one OF his famous juleps
and it was given to me.
Three days later when I left the
place" Mr.. Reed started, but his
audience cut him short with their
laughter. The speaker then said that
he did not dare return to the news
paper office, for someone had stolen
the horse while he was still drinking
julcps. Rather, he went to Indianap-
oils and nearly tainted, he declared,
when he met Henry Watterson on the
street there.
What heppened to my horse? ?"
asked Watterson.

ly replied.
'T understand that you stayed three
days with that julep-making farmer"
said Mr.. Watterson
Yes, SIR" answered Mr.. Read.
WELL" Mr.. Watterson said, "he
kept me three weeks in the same con-
dition. Go back to work"

that when he was boy back in North

flocks Of wild pigeons, a bird now ex-

that were almost past comprehension.
On one occasion he was driving along
behind another man in a wagon, when
the latter raised his hand and motion
ed to Swadner to stop. Then reaching
down in his wagon for his ancient
muzzle loading shot gun, he drew bead
on a flock Of wild pigeons that were
