guaranteed to be safe for blank car.
tridges-and shooting ball cartridges
in them'', says the Goodhue County
News. ut is doubtful whether it is
good policy to put gun in the hands
of ten-year-old boy anyway. They
are not overcareful how they point the
weapon. But to use ball cartridges
in one of these cheap affairs is to give
death special invitation. Parents
will please take notice. There are

His Rest Ideas,

That the American 'man with the
hoe" does not find the life of the farm
stultifying must surely be inferred
from the words of an old tiller of the
soil. who came across classical vol
ume and found in Plato a kindred
spirit. The good American farmer
called upon a DOCTOR. and was ushered
into the library. At once the well-filled
book-shelves drew his attention. Are
you fond Of reading?" asked the doc
tor, noting the wandering gaze. "Well,
yes returned the farmer, modestly.
II should be pleased to lend you a book
to take home with you," said the other.
Gust take any one that you think
you'd like to read" ooh, I'm no good
at selectin'," replied the old man.
"You pick one out, DOCTOR" So the
doctor, in a spirit of fun, gave the
farmer a book written by Plato. The
old man went away, and at the end OF
a week reappeared with the book I'M
der his arm. WELL" queried the doc
tor, did you read the book?" Eyes, I
did," was the emphatic answer. "And
what did you think of it," -''It was
fust-rate," responded the farmer. tive
read It through from kiver to kiver. I
never heard tell of this fellow Plato
before, but all the same I'm glad to
find that the old chap has been writing
up some of my very best IDEAS

Recently the bartender at Pronk

something slapped up against the in

again harder than before, and then
there were more slaps. John Pronk-

WHAT THE EYES DISCLOSE

The color of eyes has hitherto
chiefly concerned the novelist and the
poet and lately, says the London Ex-
press, the cold-blooded statistician
has been looking into them.
1t is announced that, taking the av-
erage of Europe and America, 44.6
per cent of men have light eyes, in
Guiding blue and gray The proper
ton of women having blue or gray
eyes is 1922 per cent. In other words,
blue eyes are decidedly rarer among
women than among men.
Men have light eyes oftener than
women, but in the intermediate
shades between light and dark the
percentage of the two sexes is very
nearly the same. In this intermedi-
ate. category are brown and hazel
eyes. The percentage of these among
men is 43.1 and among women 45.1.
Blue eyes are considered to possess
great attractions. This was the case
among the Greeks and Romans of
classic times. Upon the goddess
Minerva was bestowed a surname to

signify the blueness of her eyes.
Gray eyes have ever been the ideal
of all great novelists. Among the
number Charlotte Bronte, George FL
lot, Kilkie Collins and Charles Reade.
Most of the heroine in up-to-date fc.
ton are gray-eyed maidens.
Of the living great, as we'll as the
famous dead, most have eyes of gray
or blue. Shakespeare had eyes of
gray; so had nearly all the English
poets. Coleridge's eyes were large,
light gray, prominent and of liquid
brilliancy. Byron's eyes were gray,
fringed with long black lashes.
Charles Lambs glittering eyes
were strangely dissimilar in color,
one being hazel, the other having
specks of gray in the iris. Chatter
toms brilliant gray eyes were his
most remarkable feature. Under
strong excitement one appeared
brighter and larger than the other.
AS to green eyes, they are for glory.
The Empress Catharine of Russia
had eyes of this hue.

THE BENEFIT OF FASTING

The fast cure is one of the new
ideas from which great benefits may
be derived by suffering humanity if
they will but observe it's simple rules.
1t is already believed in by many who
have adopted its ways with good re-
suits, but more should follow. 1t is
an undisputed fact among men of
science that great many of the all
ments that humanity suffers from
proceed directly from the stomach,
while as many more proceed Indirect
ly therefrom. Apoplexy heart failure
and in mary cases sudden deaths, can
be traced directly to the stomach,
overtaxed and weak, yet pushed on
to the task for which it is unequal
The result is inevitable.
A restricted diet is always an aid
toward recovery. Fasting in connec-
ton with cups of hot water drunk
during the day rs a tonic, will pro-
duce remarkably quick cures in some
stomach troubles. Doctors prescribe
milk diets and other diets not so
much for the virtue of the diet itself

x Two males were fighting. They

where.
Now, John Pronkin knows these
trout well, and they had never done
such stunts before, so, when a fine
two-pounder rolled over aad slapped
it's tail hard against the side of one
of the kegs, John Pronkin discovered
something. He discovered that one
of the quarters" which had been put
into the water full of beer at 7
o'clock didn't contain beer at 8. A
hoop was broken and the bung was
out.
The next day John Pronklin's trout
lay under the spout with the cold
spring water and air bubbles trickling
soothingly down their backs. Their
food for the day lay untouched at the
bottom of the tank. One only is
dead. 1t was found under a key.
