Eyesight
of Children
Is not often noticed until tho
child Is sent to school, when tho
defect becomes more pronounced
by reason of close work. In this
condition study becomes a bur
den on account of eye-strain and
headache, and Is a constant
drain upon tho whole nervous
system.
I will examine children's eyes
with the most progressed meth
ods, and proscribe glasses only
where absolutely needed.

Team, Was Presented with a Silk
Umbrella and a Seal Ring.
Tho pupils a't tho ycrauton High

which they gathered in the auilUorium,
which had been decorated with" greens
for tho occasion, unci participated In
PROP. EUGEN13 II. FELLOWS.
speclul Christmas exercises which hail
been arranged.
Vr. J. C. .Toslin, tho principal, pre
sided, and after tho Hinging of a song
by tho school an interesting essay on
"Christmas Celebrations" was read by
Miss Margaret Stone, and was followed
by a violin duet exquisitely played by
the Misses Cure and Hill. An essay on
"Christinas Customs," by Miss Loulso
Connolly; a piano solo, by Miss Jennie
Kynon; a spirited oration on "William

duet by the Misses llussell and Stro
hecker: a recitation by Miss Claro
Brewster, together with a selection by
the Mandolin club and oiehestra, com
pleted the programme.
Addresses Made.
At the conclusion of the formal pro
gramme appropriate addresses were
made by Dr. Joslin, Superintendent G.
W. Phillips, and T. J. Jennings, chair
man of the high and training commit
tee. A pleasurable incident then followed.
It was an expression of thunks to the
foot ball coach, Prof. Eugene II. Fel
lows, by the team and tho athletic
council and the school. Manager Daw
son, on behalf of tho team. In a brief
but graceful speech, presented Mr. Fel
lows with a handsome silk umbrella,
and Dr. Joslin, on behalf of the athletic
council and school, with a beautiful
seal ring. Mr. Follows, although greatly
surprised by the suddenness of the at
tack, rallied in true foot ball style and
thanked the donors fur the gifts and
for tliu kindly sentiments expiesstd in
the presentation.
Mr. Fellows was graduated from Cor
nell university last June, and was ap
pointed ono of the ins-truclnrs at the
High school in September. During hi.s
brief experience at the High school, he
lias been able to mould tho raw ma
terial which lie found there into a suc
cessful foot ball team, because the
playeiH were willing to take his diicc
tions and imptuve by his coaching, and
because thioughout the season the
most pleasant and friendly relations
existed between the coach and his
team.
Pinnnces Improved.
The finances of the Athletic associa
tion have also been greatly improved.
A deficit left over from last year has
been paid, current expenses, which
were unusually heavy, met, and a very
considerable balance remains In the
treasury with which to commence the
next season.
This Is due to the excellent manage
ment of the principal and ulhlellc coun
cil and of Manager Dawson, and also
because the team has played foot ball
lu a manner to make It popular, tho
attendance on Thanksgiving day being
the laigest ever seen at a toot bull game
lu this city.

CHRISTMAS eve.
Didn't Dream of Santa Claus.
Llttlo D-ycnr-old Fred How ells, of
Houesdale street, was forced to spend
his Christmas eve In the Centre street
station house lust night, Instead of In
his bed at home, dreaming of Santa
Chilis like nearly every other llttlo
child in tho city.
The little boy's mother took him to
the central city lust night to do sumo
Christmas shopping, but Instead of do
ing what she originally Intended she
strayed Into several saloons. The llttlo
boy and herself weio picked up by a
policeman and brought to the station
liouse.
Thu woman sprawled on the floor of
the cell Into which she was thrust and
us she lay in a heavy stupor her little,
big-eyed boy sat In a chair outside the
Iron barred door and finally fell asleep
wondering, no doubt, what more un
happlness, Instead of pleasure, was in
store for hint on Christmas day.
Leo Russell Wanted Candy.
An Indescribably dirty and altogether
forlorn looking little lad about H or 9
years old, was seen rolling what ap
pealed to be a pail of candy along Wy
oming avenue by Patrolman William
Morgan, who brought him to the Cen
ter street police station.
"Me name is Leo llussell," he said In
response to Inquiries:, "and I live wld
mo mudder on Prospect avenue. An
udder kid told me Hint youse could get
all do candy you'so wanted down at
Connell's on Franklin avenue and so I
just got a pall. It ain't no good. Hon
est It ain't and I wants to go home."
Investigation of the contents of the
pail revealed the fact that there was
nothing inside but a .sticky valueless
mass of candy, which had been subject
ed to Intense heat. The dirty-faced
youngster presented such n pitiable ap
pearance that Lieutenant Feeney's
sympathies were aroused and he sent
him home.

elghty-IKe and the township fifteen
per cent.
Though It was the duty or Nnegll

pel the treasurer to submit his accounts
to them for inspection and approval,
