Bonaparfe SaUes Poris

Once again the municipal govern
ment of Paris is blessing the name OF
'the little Corsican bandit" one of
Napoleon's nicknames. It seems that
Bonaparte in his day, for inscrutable
reasons of his own, passed law pro-
hibiting the too glaring illumination
Of Paris streets. This old law, never
repealed of course, according to GUS
tom in democratic countries, has been
called in now, when there are pro
tests against the creation of great
white way in the neigborhood of the
Opera. During the past few years
that vicinity of historic monuments
has begun to look like Broadway with
its myriads of electric bulbs. This
is not to the taste of the Parisians,
who like subdued mellow light, at
least near the Opera. And fortunate
ly Bonaparte came to their aid.

And home in blessed WEAKNESS together
For love had put his spell upon the hear

And we were glad Of any sort Of

But, like the trampled clover,

And reveIed building castles of the

FAILING VISION

is denoted by printed matter running
together and blurred letters-the eyes
become incapable of encompassing
what they seek to embrace. Reading
becomes difficult, headaches and nau-
sea ensue and sort of misery pos
sesses the whole body. All this most
often results simply because the eyes
are not able to focus to the normal
reading distance of fourteen inches.
Distant objects may be seen distinctly
but when the vision suddenly reyerts
to some nearby subject the instantan-
eous focus of the eye necessary to see
it distinctly refuses to operate. This
is the cause of the oftime hard-to-un-
derstand headache. Glasses are the
only cure for this condition; neglect
vision, then eye diseases. To try and
fit your own eyes from an assortment
of glasses for this trouble will often
result in one of the eyes losing its
sense Of vision; eyes are very seldom
alike and need expert attention for
proper preservation as age advances.
A m0mentary realization of your help
lessness without the use of your eyes
will aid you to greater appreciation
of their worth. AS an essential, then,
to happy existence, give your eyes
the attention their Importance de-
mands. SEE DIR. JACKSON, the eye.

Displayed Too

20, 1923, Western Newspaper unionI
THE agitated wife interviewed
! Nurse Hambley in the hall. My
husbands very low, Nurse" she said
1.-THE doctor holds out no hope"
The family, consisting of son, tive
daughters, and maiden aunt, was
lowering near. Nurse Hambley made
some conventional remark and wen:
up to the sick mans room. She was
surprised at the poverty of the place,
the patched sheets.
Ned Pycraft lay unconscious on his
pillows, his white hair streaming oven
his wrinkled forehead. The doctor
was at his side. He turned to the
nurse.
mot much chance for the old man"
he said. "Old Pycraft's time has come.
Good thing for his family when he
passes out. They say he's worth a
million, and grudges every penny he
gives them.
''This Is the crisis. He's lain I'M
conscious for three days now. If he
wakes he'll pull through, but he's
slowly slipping downhill. Just do
what you can"
The family lowered about. Poor,
darling father" murmured Blanche.
the elder daughter. Dear father"
said Ada, the second. They were pro-
fuse in their inquiries. Couldn't
something be done to pull him
through?
"I'll do my very best, of course"
answered Nurse Hambley.
ALI that day she sat by the sick
mans side, her fingers on the fiutter-
ing pulse. By her side was bottle
of brandy. Whenever the pulse
seemed to cease she poured few
drops into old Pycraft's throat.
Night came. The sick man had
not stirred. He was fast in the coma
that precedes death. Now Nurse
Hambey put forth such efforts as she
had never made before. In this grim
battle she was determined TO hold
on to the last minute.
She was new to her profession, new
to the town, she had an enthusiasm
which was, perhaps, unusual. The
thought of the wife and children in
creased her zeal. Miser old Ned
might be, but none the less dear to
them.
A dozen times during that night
she rose to assure some agltated in
qulrer that Ned Pycraft was still hold
ing his own. She had refused to adj
NIT his wife to the sick room, prom
Using to summon her If sinking spell
developed. Toward morning the pulse
fiuttered dangerously-seemed to
cease. There is desperate remedy
for such a condition. Nurse Hambley
seized the dying man in her arms
and shook him, shook him vigorously
until the tired heart renewed it's ac-
ton.
She ran to call the mother and the
children. They ranged themselves
about the bed. Then every few min
utes she moistened Ned's tongue with
a few drops of brandy, until, after an
hour or so, the pulse was once more
perceptlble in the wrist.
Perceptible? AS daylight came into
the shabby room it grew stronger,
stronger than ever before. She did
not dare believe 1t. But II was so.

came more regular. Nurse Hamblev

THE DAVIS VOTE OF THE
GEORGIA DELEGATION

The record of the Georgia
delegation after Mr.. McAdoo re-
leased his delegates was that on
the first ballot they gave FIVE
votes to Mr.. Davis. That is, ten
delegates with half a vote each
voted for the West Virginian.
On the next ballot fourteen votes
We're given to Davis, representing
twenty-eight delegates. On the
final ballot twenty-seven of
Georgia's twenty-eight votes went
to Davis. This represented fif-
ty-four of the fifty-six delegates.
1t is understood that Judge Nor
ris and Mrs. Northcutt of Mari
eta stuck to McAdoo. Messrs.
l.. H. Chapplel, Of Columbus, and
Andrew Erwin, of Athens at first
voted for Underwood.
Meredith of Iowa, who receiv-
ed many McAdoo votes, really did
not show enough sped and STAN
ina to warrant his selection as a
compromise candidate.-Savan-

BOUQUETS For BRYAN

In the enthusiasm of the day
William Jennings Bryan should
not be overlooked. Mr.. Bryan is
to be congratulated today upon
three counts.
The first is that his brother has
got a place on the ticket.
The second count is that he SO
far forgot his antediluvian preju-
dices as to vote for a man with
wall Street affiliation." The
nomination of Mr.. Davis was
unanimous, and since Mr.. Bryan
was a delegate, his vote was
counted for Davis along with the
rest.
The third count upon which Mr.
Bryan has earned Fluctuations
proves that he is, after all, no
mean politician. In helping nomi-
nate John w. Davis Mr.. Bryan
did his bit toward splitting in
twain the Wall Street vote which
up to yesterday he had wished
on Coolidge.-Baltimore Sun.

QUEER LOGIC, THIs!

A bill was introduced to COM
bine the tax collector and tax re-
ceiver's offices. OF course, the
bill will not pass, as there is no
reason for it. 1t win save no
money fc.. the counties. One nan
would get as much as two. AS it
is, the money is divided between
two men and they are perfect
ly willing to work for the salary.
As it is now both collector and
receiver can make a crop or de-
vote much of their time to other
business. Why pass law that
saves nothing to the counties,
but gives. one man more? Hun
dreds of bills are introduced in

Of this fact:

When you catch a FISH too
small to keep, always handle
him with wet hands. A dry
hand is almost certain to kill the
fish, for it ruins the oily protec-
tive film over the scales.
Another thing; An angler,
enraged because the fish isn't
large, often hurls it viciously far
from the boat. This is apt to
kill the fish within a few days.
A fish isn't made of iron. And
water is hard, as you know if you
ever hit it flat with your stom-
ach in diving.
Play the game fairly. Be a
good sport. Help conserve our
vanishing fish resources. Re
member others, with hook and
bait will follow you.

It amounts to $4,000 deaths a
