Praises Soldiers of North andSouth at Monument Unveiling.

ON VIRGINIA BATTLEFIELDSA Notable Gathering Attends the Un-

veiling of a Shaft to Governor Har-tranft and Pennsylvania Dead atPetersburg.

Petersburg. Va., May 20.—Drivingover historic roads and battlefieldsthrough clouds of choking white dust,President Taft attended the unveilingof a shaft of granite and a heroic fig-ure in bronse placed on the bloody bat-tleground of Fort Matione, to com-memorate the valor and heroism ofGeneral John F. Hartranft and thePennsylvania soldiers of the Thirddivision of the Ninth corps of theUnion army. He addressed there anotable gathering of weather-beatenand tlme-grlszled old veterans In theblue of the north and the gray of thesouth.

Later he was the honor guest atan al fresco luncheon servod on themagnificent oak-shaded lawns of oneof the most beautiful old homes Inthe south, and finally, standlug on aknoll of the Center Hill mansion, fac-ing a multitude, he mado an earnestplea In the twilight for self-sacrificingand non-partisan support for the re-united and common country.

“It has been a great day," he de-dared, "not alone for Petersburg, forPennsylvania or Virginia, but In thehistory of the whole country; a daywhich will conduce to a greater union—a day to make stronger our commonlove for our common country, whichall of us when necessary are ready todie.”

Tribute to North and South.Tho president's speech at the Penn-

sylvania memorial, at the base ofwhich were gathered many of theveterans of the Keystone state and ofVirginia, who fought the battles thatmade the enduring shaft significant,was a studied tribute to the north andto the south.

Inhis later speech, however, when hehad ceased to be the guest of Penn-sylvania and had been taken In chargeby the people of the Virginia common-wealth, extemporaneously addressinga vast and enthusiastic throng. Mr.Taft, beginning in a humorous veinby twitting the governor of Virginia.Mr. Swanson, on the rare gift of be-ing able to make four speeches In oneday suddenly became serious, and forfifteen minutes held his audience insilent attention as he outlined In ageneral way his Ideas of a citizenshipwhich in the north and south alikeshould carry the country forward topermanence of prosperity and everglorious future.

The Human Eyeis a delicate organ and needs the best of care. Many eyes have been ruined by the use of

: cheap improper glasses. Don’t risk your eyesight in the hands of Incompetents.t

An Eminent Specialist; on nervous disorders aud neurasthenia addressing a Medical Congress in Boston recentlyI stated “That he believed 8o per cent of Migrant (Sick Headache) pain in or over the eyes

; was due to Eye Strain.” If you are a sufferer from Headache, Neuralgia, &c. this interests: you. It may be that Eye Strain is the cause of your nervousuess and consequent irritation,' blurred vision, sleeplessness, &c.

EYE STRAIN IS RELIEVED BY PROPERLY FITTED GLASSES.

What Glasses Will Do:If your work or reading tires your eyes the right glasses will rest them.If your eyes feel strained the right glasses will rest them.If you can’t see as well as you used to, properly fitted glasses will enable you to see

> clearly aud to read easily.If you are subject to headaches, the chances are that it is caused by eyestrain, which

; can only be relieved by wearing glasses with special lenses ground to fit your eyes.But DON’T wear glasses unless prescribed and fitted by a reliable optician or oculist.

A Reason WhyIfyour were seriously ill you would call in the best physician you knew, if you had

! important law business you would go to an experienced lawyer.If you sight is defecaive or if you have any sort of trouble with your eyes, why not

! take equal precaution to select au optician ?

A graduate of oue of the best optical oolleges, with long experience in prescribing andfitting glasses, and referring to scores of satisfied customers, who will testify as to my skilland competency, I invite your patronage.

1 Fit Hundredsof pairs of eyes with glasses every year, and can point to scores of persons whose eyetroubles I have relieved entirely or have greatly helped them. y

I have all modern facilities and the most approved apparatus for examining eyes, anj2fcan guarantee to fit your eyes scientifically—whether you are troubled with near orsight, eye strainor any other defect of vision. r

My prices are as low as the best glasses or spectacles can be sold for, and -V make no „

charge for examination. CORRECT WORK IS OUR MOTTO. We know how. Wedo nothing else but work on eyes. Come to us with your eye-troubles.
