BISHOP PAID THE BILL.
English Prelate Gives Up fi0O for q
Mans Professional Skill.


The principle of charging for The
"know how" is not forgotten by profess
sional men who have got on well IN
their work. The story is told In an En-
glsh book of n distinguished bishop. who
being dissatisfied with the arrangements
of his palace, employed a ,frst-clas archi-
tect to superlntend possible alterations.
The architect took time to consider, and
at last submitted plans. BY this time
the bishop had decided that the cost was
too great and relinquished his building
"And now," said the bishop, Il shall
be glad if you will tell me how much
shall pay you for your trouble"
II thank your lordship, f100," an
swered the architect.
"One hundred pounds" exclaimed the
bishop. "Why, have curates in my do-
ceSe who do not receive so much for
whole years service"
''That may be true, my lord" said the
architect, ''but l happen to be a bishop
in my profession" There was nothing
more to be said and the bishop paid the
bill.-Youth's Companion.

I started for Ayshurst, of course, as soon

been an ordinary man, the telegram would
have worried me a good deal. AS it was,

to take it seriously and that he would not

Texns Wild Horses.

I think it was in Swisher county that I saw wild horses for the first time.
 There were 80 in the bunch. was told by herder that the cattlemen were in the habit of shooting the stallions They have ugly tempers and sometimes at- tack and kill the stock horses. When saw the wild horses for the first time, it gave me a thrill of delight. I remem- bered the pictures in the geographies studied in when went to school in Vir- ginia of Texans throwing the lasso and the mustangs of the plains being sub dued and converted into amiable crea- lures, suitable for family purposes. give it as my opinion that the only safe wild horse is dead one. Those saw were genuine descendants of the Cortez stock, which began roaming in the ear ly days of the conquest and multiplied, crossing the Rio Grande and spreading over the country from the gulf of Mex ico to the Pacific ocean. We had @ strong fieldglass in our outfit, and, mounting a small knoll which native called "the mountain, took look at the herd. The leader was guarding the mares and colts, just as the books say they do. We approached within half mile of the herd and could make out their color pretty we'll. There was a pretty white mare in the bunch which wanted We chased them several miles,
 but they got safely of, and all the satis- faction had is that I saw real wild horses, not horses gone wild, but the original stock which for several centu- ries had been wholly free from the dominion of man.-Dallas News

Taking Care of the Eyes.

An eye expert says: Don read while you are travelling, but if you will read, let it be books or newspapers with the largest type you can get hold of. Read ing in a car in motion is also much cas- fer and less injurious if large card or an envelope be held just under each line you are reading and moved down as each line is read" The use of tinted writing papers is very beneficial to the eyes, but the colors chosen should be gray, neutral tint or bluish green. Red dish brown, pink, yellow or strongly yellowish green should be avoided Those who suffer in any way from inn paired vision and have much writing to do should use the typewriter. The writer can lean back in a chair and change from one position to another without ceasing to work, and there is none of the cramping effects upon diff feIent sets of muscles inseparable from ordinary writing Looking for any length of time through wire gauge blinds is injurious to the sight.
 An oculist tells of police detective who came to him with his eyes in a shocking condition. He had nearly blinded himself by looking through such blinds for several weeks together. La dies veils, when thick, frequently injure the sight, especially when of the dot pattern. The desirability of keeping the eyes cool is urged. It is good plan to bathe the eyes closed every morning with moderately cold water. The con- stant practice of this habit tends to strengthen and preserve the sight But if the eyes are actually infiamed, water of the same temperature as the air in very cold weather may increase the in- fiammation, and tepid water will, under such circumstances, be most beneficial Slight inflammation in the eyes may be relieved by bathing them with cold or nearly cold tea or the invaluable bo- racic acid and oamphor eyewater, which may be obtained from any druggist

rows of thirteen windows each along

That's merely a coincidence, ven

CT than the average Three-story build-
ing. but it covers so much ground that
it looks squatty, and the numerous
stairwayS on the outside don't add to
it's beauty in the least. The walls are
painted and sanded to represent granite
and that gives it an appearance of solid
ity that it really does not possess. 1t
is a strong building, however, in every
respect. C0unterparts of the building
so far as the exterior is concerner, can
b5 found in the East at Coney Island,
IN John Y. McKanes' Puritan Athletic
Clubs building, and at Maspeth in the

building. There is a certain unfinished
look about the building that indicates

AUNT MALINDA's GRIEVANCE.
Had Scruples Against Cooking for For.
eign Ministers.
From the Washington Post,


From the Washington Post,
The wife Of a member Of the cabinet
brought with her to Washington last
fall an old-fashioned colored nanny,
who is famous for her piety and her
cooking, and the dinners she has pre-
pared during the last two seasons have
been the delight of the cabinet circle and
the diplomatic corps, because they have
been so different from the conventional
menus furnished by the fashionable ca
terers and the French chefs. But the
other day Aunt Malinda came to her
mistress with a very solemn air, and
declared that she was going back 10
Georgia: that she could not live in "dis
hyah wicked, God-forsaken town no
NOAH"
A little questioning disclosed the
cause of dissatisfaction. Mammys
heart was broken.
'I's tOiled an Is 'spred in dat darh

resulted in modifying her sentiments
