REMEMBER WOMAN’S GLANCE
Men May Forget the Color of Her Hair,
But the Power of Her Eye
Is Potent.
A woman’s eye3 are the first object*
to attract a man's attention, and they
are the last things he remembers about
her. Long after he has forgotten the
color of her hair, the dimple in her
chm and the soft, sweet sound of her
voice, the look in her eye remains with
him, says an authority on the sub
ject.
He may not be able to single her
glove out of a pile of keepsakes; he
may have cast her photograph upside
down into the waste basket with a lot
of others; the slippers she made him
may have been worn out by his valet,
but still some particular turn of her
glance, some little trick of dropping
her lashes or lifting her browm eye*
will be as clear to him as the daylight,
ten years after love has been laid
away in his little satin-lined casket
that glance will rise like Banquo’s
ghost at the feast and startle him just
at the moment when the man is look
ing most intently into the eye3 of an
other woman.
It is not the color of a woman’s eye*
which a man first observes or last re
members. Nine times out of ten a
man will turn from the glance of a
pair of soft browrn, cowllke eyes to
gaze into the green orbs of the red
headed girl on the other side of the
table, and many a doll-like, blue-eyed
beauty weeps because some pug-nosed,
tawny-eyed woman has lured away her
sweetheart
Ask any man the color of his sister’s
eyes and he will look at you blankly.
“Jove,” he will remark, "I—I believe
I’ve forgotten. But they’re all right.
There’s something about them that’s
catchy.” And that is positively all that
can be gotten out of him.
Tlirt Lit.....
were green or that Cleopatra’s eyes
were yellow never Interfered with the
machinations of those fascinating la
dies, nor dulled their reputations as
coquettes. Color, size and shape may
make an eye beautiful, but they never
can give it that something which so
many beautiful eyes lack and so many
homely ones possess, the power to
make a man break a bank or sell his
overcoat in order to give his wife what
she wants.
When the world was sentimental
men called it "soul." Then they grew
practical and apathetic and they called
It “character." But no man will ever
know what it is any more than he will
ever know why he married the particu
lar woman he picked out or why ths
cook has left. It is a question as
subtle and elusive as either of these.
WONDERS IN MECHANICS.
Some That Were Worked by Young
Americans with a Genius for
Invention.
A young man who at 21 had been be
fore the mast, had worked in the
chemical department of a mill and had
lectured upon nitrous-oxide gas
throughout the country patented th«
rotating chamber for a pistol. It was
not considered particularly valuable un
til after his first company that made it
had failed and fights in Texas and with
the Seminoles in Florida proved its
worth. The Mexican war made a de
mand for it
The same mechanic, says the
World’s Work, who did so much for
early ax-making developed details in
revolver-making. The American plan
of not hesitating at the cost of new
appliances was never better shown
than in this big armory. The owner
was probably the first man to suggest
the mining of harbors with torpedoes
for defense, and he was the first to lay
a, suumanne eieccric caoie. une aay a
young man from Vermont came to his
works.
“What can you do?” asked the su
perintendent.
“I’m a machinist, a toolmaker and a
diesinker and I can play a horn in a
band,” was the reply.
He went to work the next day. A
few years later he multiplied by 40 the
value of certain labor in another fac
tory, and by another invention saved
the company $50,000 on contracts al
ready made. Later, with a sewing ma
chine company, he forged shuttles from
one piece of bar steel and cut previous
costs in half. Since that time he has
made forgings by the use of drops
weighing as much as a ton dropping
with dies sometimes six feet upon iron,
steel and copper. An example of his in
ventive genius is the instance of his
forging offhand from a single piece of
copper commutator bars for electric
dynamos after the electrician in charge
had said that such a scheme was im
possible.
Priest and Donkey.
When Archbishop Farley was private
chamberlain to the late Pope Leo. some
20 years ago. he was called upon to meet
all sorts of persons. Many of them
measured wits with him, and few scored
victory. On one occasion a young
Frenchman tried his beat to anger the
prelate, then Mons. Farley, by scoffing
at religion and clergymen. Failing in
this, he resorted to sheer impudence,
saying: “I am informed that in Mada
gascar, whenever they hang a priest,
they hang a donkey along with him.”
The young man laughed, and Mons.
Farley, looking at him mildly, said:
“Well, let us both be tnankful, my young
friend, that we are not in Madagas
ca._
Much More to the Point.
“Ef yer real interested,” said Dea
con Skinner, “I’ll tell ye what I want
fur thet horse.”
“Oh, I wouldn’t be Interested in know
ing thet,” replied Farmer Shoude.
“No?"
“No; but I wouldn’t mind knowin'
what ye’d take.”—Philadelphia Press.
TO THE INSURING PUBLIC.
For many years this agency
has written unquestioned and un
questionable fire insurance in
companies that, with two or three
exceptions, have been compelled
| to withdraw from the state on
; account of the anti-trust law.
However, we now represent 14
old line stock companies, with
paid-up cash capital and with in
demnifying bonds, (not Fidelity
bonds, note the difference), and
are prepared to issue you insur
| ance just as reliable as any we
have here-to-fore written, to the
limit of the carrying capacity of
I the companies.
We propose, as we have always
done, to see that your losses are
promptly and fairly adjusted and
can certainly render you better
; service than can strangers or
1 outsiders.
We write farm property and
risks in adjacent towns, and will
give prompt attention to all ap
plications.

How Is
Your Heart?
Is your pulse weak, too slow,
too fast, or does it skip a beat?
Do you have shortness of
breath, weak or hungry spells,
fainting.smothering or choking
spells, palpitation, fluttering,
pains around the heart, in side
and shoulder; or hurt when
lying on left side?
If you have any of these
symptoms your heart is weak
or diseased, and cannot get
better without assistance.
Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure
strengthens weak hearts, and
rarely ever fails to cure heart
disease. Try it, and see how
quickly you will find relief.
“About January 1st. 1902, I took
down with weakness and dropsy,
and gradually grew worse. I was told
by my family physician that my case
was hopeless. My neighbors and fam
ily had given me up to die. My
limbs and body were swollen to one
third larger than normal size, and
water had collected around my heart.
For at least three months I had to sit
propped up in bed to keep from smoth
ering. I sent for five bottles of Dr.
Miles' Heart Cure, and by the time I
had taken them all I was entirely
cured. I feel better than I have for
twenty years, and I am able to do
any kind of work on my farm. My
attending physician told me that if it
hadn't been for Dr. Miles' Heart Cure
I would now be in my grave.”

Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure is sold by

the first bottle will benefit. If it fails
