MR. USHER GOES ON STRIKE No Vegetable Garden for Him This Year If He Knowb Himself, and He Thinks He Does. "A seed catalogue arrived In this morning's mal,." remarked Mrs. Usher to her husband. "We might plan out our spring garden while these long winter evenings last." "We will start the fire with the seed catalogue in the morning," re turned Usher. "There will be no gar den this year. It Is all we can do to buy vegetables without buying seeds. "Last year we bought $10 worth of seeds, $12 worth of tools and about nine dollars' worth of- digging. "And we had to buy our vegetables just the same. "This year we shall do away with the seed, the machinery and the hired man and have more vegetables. "Da:-a u! Last spring after the man had dug nine dollars out of me, and the hardware man had tooled me out of $12, and the seed man had seeded me to the tune of $10, I went out one bahny Saturday afternoon to look at my garden. There was nothing to be seen there except one beet and a few million weeds. - "While engaged in kiling the mil lions of weeds I exterminated the beet rop with one fell swoop of my trusty bat inaccurate hoe!" "But the vegetables are so sweet and fresh out of your own garden!" pleaded Mrs. Usher. *Oh, yes, they are sweet and fresh, all right," bleated her husband. "We had a tomato bush last spring. We had the bush while the stores had the tomatoes. - We didn't buy any toma toes. We had our own and they would soon be ripe. "Bucksters brought tomatoes to our door, and the neighbors bought toma toes piled up so high that they spilled on the sidewalk. "I went out and looked at our bush. We had two little green tomatoes that looked like peas. When tomatoes were a nickel a peck one of those tomatoes sickened and died, and the other got nearly ripe on one side. . k "When Aun Eudora broeght us five bushels of tomatoes from her farm our tomato bush took a sudden start and shed tomatoes in abundance as long as Aunt Eudora's tomatoes lasted. -at'rs the way It is with our gar den. The digging around Is aR the fun we get out of it. "Anybody who thinks that digging Is fun has a keener sense of humor than I have." The Broken "Conspiracy." The "conspiracy of silence" Is bro ken. Of that no one can doubt. The phrase may be suffered to lapse into oblivion. In its day It was a menace, and few of us would now advocate the d'eliberate ignoring of things not to be denied. Few of us would care to see the rising generation as uninstructed In natural laws as we were, as adrift - amid the inintelllgible, or partly,-tna teligble things of life. But surely the breaking of silened need not imply the opening of the lood-gates of speech.

The lack 'of restraint, the lack of balance, the lack of sober ness and common sense, were never more- apparent than In the obsession of sex which has set us all a-babbling about matters once excluded from the amenities of conversation. Selected Bits. The late Henry Townsend Martin was one day describing to a New York reporter his adventures In the London "Slum butcher shops," he said, "are urday night, when the Sunday mea$, Is being bought. "Once in "The New Cut,' I stopped before a dreadful looking-stall of meat. There was a platter of particularly vile stuff called 'selected bits.'' These selected bits the butcher was offering to ant old lady for threepence, but'she insisted that this was too high. "'Take 'em for tuippence, then,' said the batdher.' 'Best selected bits, a plat terfu for tuppence. You can't do bet ter nor that.' "'I don't know: said the old lady. *It seems rather high.' ''Will ye give a penny for 'em? "Still the old lady hesitated. "'Here,' said the butcher, 'here, hang it, ma'am, I'll turn my back while you pinch 'em.'" Career of "Pig-Iron" Kelley." -William D. Kelley, one of the found era of. the Republican party In Penn sylvarias, and for many years a con' spicuous figure in the public life of the nation, was born in Philndelphia d.00 years ago. He started life In 'humble cicmtne.Through his own exertion he obtained an education Ia the law and began the practise of j~tprofession in his native city. Ia !1858 he left the Demoeratic party and ;aelped to organise the Republican party in Pennsylvania. He served in icongre-a from 1881 until his death in '1890, his continuous service making him the "Father of the House" for several sessions. He was a radical pro tectionist, and his anxiety for the pro tection of the Iron interests of Penn sylvania gave him the familtialr name, ''Pig-Iron Kelley." Nights of Urh est.

Dogs, probably the earliest of do. nesticated animals, when transferred to a tropical country, such as centrai africa, lose in a few gcnerations most )f the characteristics they have n. juired in Europe, ad revert more a..d nore to the type of the jackal and the yolf.

INNENRN NEED CARE IN YOUTH CHILDREN'S EYES SHOULD BE CAREFULLY LOOKED AFTER. Lifelong Annoyances and Serious In jury to Physical Health May Fre quently Be Avoided If the Mat ter Is Taken rn Time. Childhood is the period of develop ment from which man is ev.olved. At this time of life :.-l the organs are impressionable and they may be easily injured by overwork %r abuse. Many parents are culpably negli gent of their children's eyes, early at tention to which would very often ob viate life-long annoyances and possi bly injury to physical health. Former President Roosevelt writes the following in a recent issue of Out ook magazine: "Quite unknown to myself, I was, while a boy, under a hopeless disad vantage in studying nature. I was very nearsighted, so that the oaly things I could study were those I ran against or stumbled over. "When I was about twelve I was al owed to take lessons In taxidermy. It was this summer that I got my first ;un and it puzzled me to find that my :ompanions seemed to see things to :hoot at which I could not see at all. "One day they read an advertise ment in large letters on a distant billboard, and then I realized that somethlng was the matter, for not )nly was I unable to read the sign, but I could not even see the letters. "I spoke of this to my father and moon afterward got my first pair of 5pectacles, which literally opened an antirely new world to me. I had no dea how beautiful the world was un 11 I got those spectacles. "The recollection of this experience ives me keen sympathy with those v,;ho are trying in our public schools tnd elsewhere to remove the physical -,uses of deficiency in children who ire often unjustly blamed for being >bstinate or unambitious or mentally tupid." Optometry has slowly and surely progressed along similar lines to those )f medicine, law and dentistry, and :oday its recognition as a profession s assured by the spirit of its many ?rogressive practitioners, who are con :inually perfecting metheds and de ices for the accurate application of ts theoretical principles. Much of the suffering duo to eye train would be relieved it the one o afflicted would consult the opto netrist, who Is now being rapidly rec gnized by the world as the exclusive )ye strain specialist.
