THINGS GORE WANTS TO SEE.
Statesman Whose Sight May BE Re.
stored Longs to See Ills Wife.

a dispatch from Washington says:
After more than thirty years in
perpetual darkness, Ex-senator Thos
u. Gore. OF oklahoma, has been given
hope that his sight may be restored
If the treatment he is now undergo
ing at the hands Of a Boston special
ist is successful, what will the blind
Senator. lawyer, schoOlmaster aud
socio'ogist be most eager to see?
First Of all, his wife. He courtcd
and won her twenty-one years ago,
but he has never seen her. Then
His lSyear-old daughter and 10
year-old son. whose growth from in
fancy he has been able to follow only
by a pat Of tho hand. Then
The 10000 books of his library,
whose contents he holds in his un-
usually keen memory Then
Washington, where he has served
fourteen years as Senator, but never
saw the Capitol, the White House,
the Washington Monument or the
Potomac river. Then, too
An automobile. He rides in one
daily, but they were unknown when
he last saw the light Of day.
Tho World IL Mystery.
In short Gore wants to see the
hundreds Of new things that have
como into the world in tho last 90
years. He wants TO see a city for
the first time and contrast it with his
native farm village, the only commu-
nifty he ever saw.
But Gore doesn't really expect TO
SEQ any Of these things. He's not as
optimistic as his physician, DR.. SAM
uel Harris, Of Boston. If sight comes
it will be welcome. If 1t doesn't@-
well, Gore is so used to darkness he
doesn't miss the glowing world
around him.
Gore enjoyed natural eyesight un-
til he was eight years old Then
stick, thrown at a COW by one Of his
farm lad friends, struck him in the
left eye and deprived him Of its use
Three years later a shaft from {;
cross-bow struck him in the right
eye. He had to have the eye re
moved.
For time Gore was able to distin
guish the outlines Of large objects
Then that power left him and he wa
abls only to tell night from day. Thia
last remnant left him before he wa
q years Of age.
Gore has served three terms in the
United States Senate.
At present he is practicing law
here in Washington. specializing ~
tax and land matters. He comes L.
his Office punctually every morning
His secretary reads aloud to him out
Of his law books. and he prepares his
cases by dictation.

Her coffin was buried in nowers,
many of them the plai2 flowers she

flowers that were somehow like her

the whole world for Alix today, and
fresh creamy buds had been placed
between the waXen fingers. And still
that radiant look of triumphant love
fingered on her quiet face. md still
the faint ghost of smile touched the
once kindly and merry mouth.
They said good-by to her at the
church, the villagers and old friends
who had loved her, and Peter and
two or three men alone followed her
down along the winding road that led
to the old cemetery. Cherry was
hanging over the bedside Of her hus-
band, who still miraculously fingered

be entirely mystified. SieO, on his hos

ing. The picnic went merrily on to it's
conclusion. with detectives circulating
through the crowd to prevent the out
break of further trouble.
Eleven of the nineteen shootings that
preceded Sileo's took place at or near
the corner of Grand and Christie streets
in the lower East Side. This corner, the
police say. Is the scene of secretly
conducted bootleggers' "curb market" 4"
