 William 1. Pinkerton, the head of the noted detective agency. was talk ing in Chicago about amateur thieves. 'There are, said Mir. Pinkerton. more amateur thieves than you would be lieNe-men of good standing even church men, who suddenly yielding to an overpowering temptation. steal a pen from a stationer, toothbrush from druggist a book from the house of a friend. Often the Nstationer, the druggist and the friend, overlook these thefts. Why, for the sake of a few cents disgrace a man for life? Some times, though. they are able 10 retrieve their loss with interest. yet without tainting the amateur thefs good name"

FOR BEAUTIFUL EYES.
How One Can Make Them Ann.., Smaller or Larger and What Col
 ors Enhance Different Orbs.

Letting the eyes remain as natura put them there" is a very good thinv But it is no harm to experiment just very little with them now and then says a writer in Brooklyn Eagle One must experiment. not with tho eyes as much as with the lids. and the complexion around the eyes for it is very easy to injure the eye ball and when one does so, one injures also the sight.
 In a chat London belle disclosed some of her eye secrets.
 My eyes are beautiful" said she. because know how to make them so.
 They are deep blue. And for that reason l generally wear sapphires. Sapphires. worn with blue eyes. will bring out the color of your eyes.
 If your eyes are turquoise, then wear turquoise for jewels. The light blue of the stone will match the spot in your eyes.
 Here is a rule for any and every woman to follow. Let yoar brooch match the spots in your eyes It will bring out their color and make your eyes seem larger and brighter.
 Women who wear pearl collars might do worse But il would be a good thing if there could be pendant to match the spots in the eyes. And there are other things to be consid- cred when you want to make you,v eyes pretty.
 
 Don't forget that to be beautiful the eyes must be large. Now. you cannot hollow out the eve socket. And you cannot pencil the eyes without obser- yation. and you cannot paint them longer. nor larger nor can you darken the lids. Nothing looks worse than the made-up eye and nothing shows more quickly the utter carelessness of the wearer. But you can treat the eyes and make them larger in that way.
 The eyes can be treated by making the face thinner. And this is the way to do it: If the face is too fat it means that the body is too fat and that the weight must be reduced This 1 is always very simple and the rules for l it are diet and exercise. No one diet l ing and exercising can fail to reduce the weight.
 But. sometimes. after the body is reduced. the face will still be too fat around the eyes. And this means that 1 the eyes are bloated. The flesh Is i puffed up. There must be something done to reduce the inflammation, or l bloat.
 Holding warm cloth over the eyes. not hot cloth. but medium warm one. dipped fin warm boracie acid. will often reduce the swelling around the eyes It should be kept warm for about half an hour, Again the swelling may be reduced by going without a meal. A heavy meal will cause a pufiness under the eyes; and the woman who eats big dinner and goes to bed early. will waken with sacs under her eyes enough to scare away spooks. There is something very ghastly about these big dark bags be- meath the eyes.
 Going without a meal will banish these eye sacs and make the eyes much prettier. Don't be afraid If get ting holloweyed by hunger. t will take some tme for fat.faced woman to become hollow in the eyes through going without her food She will go back to the table and eat long before hollows begin to show underneath her eyes.
 How do I keep my lids in such good condition? By resting them, concluded this woman.

THE SCHOOL BOARD
PLANS FOR THE TEXARKANA
@ ANNEX BUILDING.
Action on the Plans Submitted Delayed
The Expected Reports Were not
Forthcoming.

The School Board Of Caido Parish
met Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock to re-
ceive the report of the building commit
tee on plans for the Texarkana Annex
school building.
President Thatcher presided, the men,
bers present being Messrs. Abney, Bar
ron, Doll, Goldstein, Herndon, Keith,
Smith ana Stringfellow.
Superintendent Moncure was also
present
The committee on buildings reported
that Of the eight plans submitted to the
board and referred to them, two should
be considered, the plan of N. S. Allen
and the plan of Kendrick & King.
The Allen plan provided tin roof and
the excavation Of one one-half of the
basement.
The Kendrick & King plan provides a
slate roof and the excavation of the en-
tire basement.
The estimate of the cost of the build
ing is approximately $4,000.
An interesting discussion followed as
to whether a tin or slate roof would
be the best, and the agreement unani-
nous was in favor of the slate roof.
which can not rust or corrode and will
last as long as the building can stand.
The slate would be good and useful in
4 hundred yea year hence
The excavation was next discussed
and the conclusion was reached that the
excavation of the entire basement was
desirable, as it would afford play
ground for the pupils as well as room
for gymnasium
The board did not adopt either plan
and deferred action at their next meet
ing next Friday =. D.
1t is announced that the board may
take up and consider the plans rejected
should they fail to agree on the Allen
md the Kendrick & King plan. Such ace
ton would be radically unfair. The
board must decide between the two
plans. # the Allen plan is the best, the
Allen plan should be recognized. If the
Kendrick & King plan is the best, then
this plan should be adopted.
The long promised and expected re-
ports on cases involving discipline, etc.
were not alluded to, but may be forth
coming next Friday. Why not?
