The Old Saying:

"None are so blind as those who
do not wish to see" SO many will
say: 81 should have my eyes ex-
amined, but | keep putting it off. "
Can you imagine anything more
foolish? The cost is nominal. The
saving of the eyesight is the
stake. Delay such a matter.
Waiting, waiting, waiting! And
the funniest part of it is that gen
orally those who need our ser
vices (Which are very reasonable
within the reach of all) most,
are the ones who often wait until
it is nearly too late.

Rev. j. II. Berringer had rather
an exciting experience last week
over at Tacoma and from his per
sonal appearance ON Sunday, he
certainly was 'walloped" some.
1t seems he was leaving the
Rhodes store for his rooms ON
Friday night, and when crossing
a darkened spot of the city was
accosted by a thug who demanded
his "pile." Being a preacher, Mr..
Berringer had learned to know the
value of a dollar and so he put
up sharp resistance, knocking
Mr.. Thug in the "tummy" and
otherwise treating him rough, "
until he fed. Aside from the fact
hat Mr.. Berringer was badly
banged up nothing serious follow
ed. and the preacher retains the
contents of his pockets to help
make Christmas merry for others.
