A prominent instructor of city schoo's says that every year the teachers run across people who have the mistaken notion that if they can deceive the teacher and start a child in school who is only > five years old, they are that much ahead. They do not realize the evil effect upon the moral character of the child. Every year a number of little children are sent home after they are started because the teacher discovers in some way that the parent has not given the age correctly.

This is true especially in many of the smaller towns and cities where there are many frame buildings and where there are poorly equipped fire departments.

The Missouri Pacific is leasing its right-of-way to farmers along the track near Mankota at 20 cents an acre, to be farmed to within six feet of the ends of 1 the ties. No crop except a hay crop of । some sort is to be allowed on the right1 of way. The rate of 20 cents an acre indicates that the Goulds are not trying to , increase their income, but have adopted this plan to keep the right-of-way clean of weeds. 1 Because his wife telephoned to him so often when be wae at work he lost hie , job and could not support her.

An- ‘ other young fellow who had boarded the ' train ordered him to take off hie good suit of clothes and when he refused, the 1 stranger shot him twice in the head and 1 back and then removed hie clothee.

CHARACTER IN EYES. Blue eyes are said to be the weakest. Wide-opeu eyes are indicative of rashness. Small eyes are suppovl to indicate criming. Side-glancing eyes are always to be distrusted. Brown eyes are said by oculists to be the strongest. The downcast eye has in all ages been typical of modesty. The proper distance between the eyes is the width of one eye. People of melancholy temperament rarely have clear blue eyes. Eyes with long, sharp corners indicate great discernment and penetration; The white of the eye showing beneath the iris is indicative of nobility of character. When the upper lid covers half or more of the pupil the indication is of cool deliberation. Gray eyes turning green in anger or excitement are indicative of a choleric temperament. An eye the upper lid of which passs horizontally across the pupil indicates mental ability. Unsteady eyes, rapidly jerking from side to side, are frequently indicative >f an unsettled mind. Eyes that are wide apart are said by physiognomists to indicate great intelligence and a tenacious memory. Eyes placed close together in the lead ar» said to indicate pettiness of disposition, jealousy and a turn for fault-finding. Wide-open, staring eyes in weak countenances indicate jealousy, bigotry. intolerance and pertinacity withmt any firmness. When the under arch of the upper eyelid is a perfect semicircle it is indicative of goodness, but also of timidity. sometimes approaching cowardice. IN A WORD. Sparrows hate blue. Hot water drinking cures insomnia. The incubator Is an Egyptian invention. The unvaccinated may not vote in Norway. The word “bosh” is Turkish and means “nothing."

A Sure Sinn. Former Secretary of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw was one of the m st i interesting characters ever on the scene of public life in the national cupital. One afternoon he said to the narrator ; “1 know that I am growing old. I get to work here as early la the , ings as I used to do in my bus. ss ; career tn lowa. I am as active . id energetic in all things as ever 1 w >; , but I am growing old.’’ “What are the symptoms of old . *? Do you ever have rheumatism?" “There are no ‘symptoms.’ 1 h e I neither ache nor pain, nor diminu. n ; of energy. I simply realize that 1 t growing old." “Well, on what do you base that assurance?” “My shoes last longer. I used to have five pairs made every year. Two years ago I needed only four pairs. This year I will only needed three pairs. I don’t step as rapidly nor as determinedly as I used to. I know that I am growing old. because my I shoes last longer.”
