 Fairy Princess, I wish that Grand mother would never have to work again and would always be happy, too! At this unselfsh wish, all the fairles clapped their tiny hands and the prin- cess clapped their tiny hands and the nrinrAss waved her magic wand. When the fairies showed Helen all that her unselllsh wish had brought. There
 was soda water spring right at the kitchen door. and ice cream mud pud- dles nearby the garden was filled with new plants, ice cream cone bushes; lollypop plants, cookie trees and every thing nice Besides these, there was clothes tree with new dresses and stockings and shoes on it. So after that gran'm never had to work, for she could just pick what she wished from the fairy bushes." And Raggedy Andy passed the cream puffs to his friends and smiled his cheery smile. for it was painted on his happy rag face.

The topography of the state

lines and the scale of the map is
eight miles to the inch. They

HOW NOR no no IT

De Wolf Hopper, the we'll
known musician comedy perfor-
mer, now become quite passe,
furnishes an example of how not
to do it, matrimonially. Hopper
figures in the news dispatches as
'being divorced for the fifth time.
He is now 81 and should be by
this time established on a mar
riage basis of a certain degree Of
durability. He gives further con-
firmation of the rather widely
prevalent notion that stage po-
pie are matrimonially unreliable
and that the stage itself breeds
flippant regard for the sanctity
of the estate.
There are quite a number of
notable stage folk who have mar
ried and apparently at least "lived
happily ever after" Hopper's
numerous representations may
have bred in him loose regard
for anything of~@ reverential
character and no doubt he came
to look upon marriage itself as a
joke. Of course Hopper's lido
syncrasies will have no effect in
lowering the rightful esteem in
which clean stage comedy is held.

TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY
(Fron the Times Recorder

vs. SAAA hd%~ AAAAN~S
Feb. II, 1904.)
Mr.. Samuel Harrison, Of this city,
has just received the sad tiding Of
the death of his aged and much be-
loved mother, Mrs. Jane Harrison,
which occurred quite recently at the
old family residence "Lakeview"
Ballylone, Ballynahinch Ireland.
A marriage of much interest to
many in Americas occurred yester-
day morning in Cordele when Miss
Alma Mingledorff and Mr.. Samuei
Clegg were thus united. Mir. Ciegg
was Feared in Americus, and the an
nouneement Of his marriagd viii be
a subject Of much interest here as
in Cordele, where he in now en-
gagged in business. His pretty bride
was a visitor here last week, the
guest of Miss Lucille Clegg, and was
greatly admired for her beauty and
many accomplishments.
Mr.. e. A. Hines purchased yester-
day from MIR. w. M. Howard the
dwelling corner Of Elm Avenue and
Burke streets, paying $500 thera-
for. AS an~eydence of how Amefi-
Gus realty is enhancing in value 1t
may be stated that Mr.. Howard
purchased this same property, one
and a half miles from the city, a
year ago for $1,000, showing an in.
crease of so per cent within that
period.
The well known firm of Oliver
& Cbilders dissolved partnership
yesterday, Mr.. L. G. Childers re-
firing therefrom. The announce
ment caused some surprise as it
was not known that such step was
contemplated. The firm was one
of the strongest in Americas or
southwestern Georgia, doing a very
extensive cotton and supply bust
ness.
Mr.. Lawson Stapleton returned to
Americas yesterday from st Louis
where he has been on business for
a week past. Mr. Stapleton was
considering a proposition to travel
for the Peters Shoe Co., of St.
Louis, but on investigation found
that a connection with Brown Shoe
Co. would be more advantageous.

II is comparatively simple
matter to exercise the little sphinc-
ter and dilator muscles which have
to do with the charging and di-
nfnishing of the pupil Of the eye.
Under normal conditions of vigor
these muscles scarcely need at
tontion. Ii is only whcp the eyes
are weak, and these muscles do
not respond readily in accomodat-
ing the opening 10 various degrees
and intensities OF light, that spec
ial exercise is required.
Naturally, the only practical way
10 exercise these muscles is to find
Il method Of exposing the eye in
rapid succession 10 degrees of
light of varying intensity At
night this may he done by turning
IN, electric light on ana OLE repeat
edly for q minute or two. IN the
day time one can stand in a room
with one window, pulling the shade
down to darkcn the room, and then
raising it and looking out of doors.
In either case try to see the var
ious objects in the room when it is
darkened. 1t is, through this
aeiort TO see in the dark that the
diator muscles will be especially
stimulated, as the pupil enlarges.
as much rs possible TO enable you
to see.
When The electric light is turn
ed on. or the shade raised.. the
gre,-.est stimulation viii be de-
rived from looking directly at the
light, or at the sun, for an instant
provided this does not involve the
sensation of eye strain or discern
fort. 1t might not be wise, how
ever to do this unless you are
s4ro that your eyes are fairly
strong, You can set sufficiently
good results in looking at any
white object when the light is
turned on, for instance, the blank
pGgo~of q book. Turn the light
on and off at intervals of two or
three seconds. II your eyes are
sensitive to artificial light it may
be bette" to practice this exercise
in the daytime, pulling down the
window shade and then raising IL.
One or two minutes of this exercise
usually should be sufficient.
Shut one eye and hold pencil
point five or six inches IN front of
the other. Now look through the
window at some point on the hori-
2on or any distant object. After
looking for two or three seconds
at this distant point focus the eye
on the pencil point If your eyes
arc normal you will be able to
change the focus without any con-
soious effort but otherwise you
mag experience very clearly the
saHsation of muscular effort.
