A DAMAGED EYE,

Jim B1a1a0e1l was FOO
Sympathetic to suit the Colonel.
There are some people who have no
Imagination, but cling to the literal
with painful asiduity. Jim B1aisdell
was n of these, and his happy faculty
Of taking things seriously lost him an
elegant wife, says the Detroit Free
Press.
It was this way: Col. LATTE is a
Southernef, and very sensitive, es-
pecially about his personal appearance,
which is quite distinguished. He rather
liked Jim, and Jim dotted on the col
onels daughter, and 1t was q ~foregone
conclusion in the family that Jim
would win the girl, as the father was
on his side.
One day the colonel took Jim to ride
behind his cantankerous Kentucky
mare, and she kicked the dashboard of
the buggy into smithereens and landed
both gentlemen by the roadside.
This wouldn't have been SO bad, as
neither of them was hurt, and the col
onel was doing the driving, but Jim
had to discover a fracture in the col
onel's right eye, and he at once began
to make a fuss about it.
you're seriously hurt, sir" he said,
in his most sympathetic manner.
Nothing wrong with me-" snapped
the colonel, who was looking for the
mare in a dazed, sort of way.
But your eye, sir, is badly dam
aged"
""'Neyer mind the eye: Help me to
catch the critter." g
II must insist on bapdaging your eye
first, colonel. Why, It Is q blurred
mass, and I greatly fear you have lost
the sight of it" persisted Jim.
Look here, you young fool" roared
the colonel, cant you attend to your
own affairs. That eye, sir, is glass-do
you hear--glass! glass;"
And that is why Jim didn't marry the
colonel's daughter.

The Secret or Warm Feet.

life insurance company, whose ad-
vice under the circumstances may be
taken as sincere, tells its clients that
the golden rule in cold weather is to
keep the extremities warm. The first
and most important rule for the carry
ing out of this idea is never to be tight
ly shod Boots or shoes that fit closely
prevent the free circulation of the blood
by pressure; but when, on the contrary,
they do not embrace the foot too firmly,
the space left between the shoe and the
stocking has good supply of warm air.
The second rule is never to sit in damp
shoes. 1t is often supposed that unless
shoes are positively wet it is unneces-
sary TO change them while the feet are
at rest This is great fallacy, for
when the least dampness is absorbed
into the sole in its evaporation it abb
serbs the heat from the foot and thus
perspiration is dangerously checked.
This can easily be proved by trying the
experiment of neglecting the rule. The
feet will be found cold and damp after
a few minutes, although on taking off
