Just why this should be It is Im possible to say when Fathor is so easy to please and there are so many suitable gifts for hint. l-'or example, he might be given n new doormat for the one that Is six yeum old. Or a soft cushion to match the cushion now on the sofu. Then there is the shndes on the bedside lamp In the guest room that the hint guest scorched hy tilting to one side. A- new one would be suitable for Father. Father would delight in a nice wood basket to sit beside the open fireplace and enthuse over a doxen glass tumblers to replace these broken during the last year. He would surely find much uo for a new monkey wrench and a pair of pliers and a saw and he would get as much benefit as anybody else from a nice new aluminum roast er. Why not a spare tire for the cur nnd tt new pair of gloven to use when he goes down to the Tur naco? Or, for that matter, a rug for the living room or a new set of shades for the dining-room lights or a brans nozxle fur the garden hose, since there seems no lunger any chance of the old one tinning up?. . Why not H cover for the telephone book or a flashlight that could be kept In the kitchen so that tho cook can find her way to the Icebox? Or a vacuum cleaner or u new electric li-un".' Hiirely he could not object to a new clothes hamper, or n potted pin lit for ti centerpiece on the dining-room table, or new shades for the front hall, or on electric coffee pot or a tea tray. In fact, you have only to look nt any room In the hutisfl to see at once a doxen things that Father needs and needs badly. (Baltimore Hun.) Ceiuus t'blefs Named. ' WASHINGTON, Dec.

" Oovernor Patterson would have wishedand conse- fluently unlike many of his predecessors, he thoroughly enjoyed 1'imself as the stales chief executive, and hoped to continue his I residence in ine executive 'mansion tor iiiioiuer iitiii, That he would have been re-elected, had he lived, is as eer 1 ii mi as anything: in our political life could be. Ity the nature of things there was no wild enthusiasm over his administration, but there was no outspoken criticism, and not even what could be termed a partisan resentment. . , . TIIK people of the state as a whole liked the Oovernor and approved of his administration. They trusted his common sense, and his sound business judgment. One iiiilit say he' lilted his time in this state, somewhat as President Conlidj-p fitted his time in the White House. During the Olentt and I'icrce administration's, the people had had more turmoil n lit I i strife, personal and ptilitical, i jieriotl of peace and tpiiel and they (jot when Oovernor I'litterson entered the executive cham bers of the Stale House. 'A7 I''''' done, thou jiood ami faithful servant." That, we believe, fairly well epitomizes the epitaph that the peo ple of Orejiiiii would choose for Oovernor I'litterson.

THE NEXT THAT ancient, and more ironic, than holiorahlo, salutation, "The Kintt is dead, Lout,' live the Kintt !'' applies as well to a modern Democracy as to an Old World empire. Only a few hours lifter Oovernor I'litterson 's death, his sue epssor. Senator N'orblad of Astoria, announced that he would he n candidate at the next election. We were somewhat surprised at Senator N'orblad haste. It would seem more fitting to delay political proclamations, for a few-days at least. lint our actinjf Ooveriior is n very active yoiiiijt man. He is also, a very eneruetic and capable one. Xo doubt hu" was ad vised to throw his hat into the ring before an army of office seekers, spurred on hy this unexpected tragedy, could makp his own pronouncement appear as an example of belated oppor tunism. LIKE is very uncertain. Only 48 hours ago, the gnbernatorial Nitviatioii was Governor I'litterson against the field. Now with dramatic suddenness it is nothing short of a pell-mell scramble. . . - Hut tinloss we are greatly mistaken, Senator Xorblad will not only assume the duties of (hp late chief pxeciitivp, hp will inickly assunip his pre-election role. Before the primaries start, il will in all likelihood hp "Xorblad against the field," with the acting Oovernor holding the whip hand, ' . .

The only danger, from a N'orblad standpoint, is that the As toria attorney will overplay his hand. Wp fear that, his ill- advised post-mortem statement danger is a real one. . .

(Perhaps ourynnln.j . .. : optometrlc friend meant to say he can see II 1h absurd as 1 confessed.) Of course, proving It Is another mutter. It has been my fortune in tho Inst fee years to examine the eyes of several, people of 55' who,. at the time, hud little or no accommoda tion (that means focusing power for. varying distances). Without ex ception they were of the stiff, over fed type: some very fat and strang ers to honest work Uhonost wort;, us our eorrespendent usch theiterm. me:ns muscular exercise, play, la bor), the kind of folk who do not enjoy even listening to a lecture on exercise. 1 have had opportunity to watch four of them sinco the examination, and within the las, year one has died of heart-kidney disease: one has bad hemiplegia (that ly a stroke of paralysis nf- feetlnK one side of the body, from apoplexy, hemorrhage Into the brain), and one other has facial paralysis, arid the Isf-t has had hiuh blood pressure and n nervous breakdown!

Such cf.sCH surely would do your soul good to see. I am very much In sympathy with most of your .teachings, es pecially nbout. the erf, and I hope you may find this of some Interest. H.. H. if. It is of great Interest1 to me for several reason. First, hecause it comes from an optometrist. (Gosh, we've got to explain that now, or else some readers will think we'r? talking about opticians or maybo even oculists: a kind of confusion which. I' fear, some optometrists encourage, by taking unto them-, selves tlte use of the title doctor. Nut that' they hafe no legal right' to II, bull merely that they. are obiaV viously pirating on the symbol which has always meant to the plain citizen a nieiUcal man. An oculist or ophtlieliiiologist Is a physician who diagnoses and treats defects, deformities. , defic iencies or diseases of the eyes. An optlch.n Is a person skilled in mak ing lenses. . An optometrist is a person skilled In measuring eye sight. The uihcs mentioned by It. H.

People who have put on false dig nity long beforo that style of rai ment Is becoming or necessary Peo ple who have forgotten how to play.

Yestor day, In Saint Peters, at Rome, John Ogilvle was beatified,' declared and solemnly made a saint. The great bells rung, a veil was lifted from the portrait of the martyr-saint, and his relics , were ex posed on the main altar. Later the pope himself came from the Vatican to venerate tho saint's relics on the altar and pray for for his Intercession. It is to be hoped the courageous Scotch priest, where he dwells now, knows ol' tlie honor conferred and appreciates It. On Saturday armored, railway cars carried $22,788,730 in gold to the Bank of England, the biggest day's gold purchase In the history of the great banw. And all of that gold came from this country.
