READING the Face.

Restless eyes denote a deceitful, de,
signing disposition; greenish eyes mean
falsehood. malice and love Of scan
dial; blue eyes tell Of tendency to co.
quetry; black eyes mean lively, spir-
tied and sometimes deceitful charac-
ter; eyes with a yellowish, bloodshot
white usually betoken strong emotions
and hot temper; gray eyes mean dig
nifty and intelligence and brown eyes q
tender, true, kind and happy nature. A
mouth had better be too large than too
small, for a very small, pursed up
mouth Is seldom significant Of good
conversational power. Large mouths
are more often found In conjunction
with liberal dispositions than very
small ones. A person with pointed
chin is fanciful, refined in taste and
difficult to please. A broad, square
chin signifies ardent love, often accom-
panied by jealousy. A broad, round
chin means ardent love, with stead
fastness and purity of affection.

"It's a molghty folne thing to have y
character for truthfulness," remarked

other evening.
''Indade an 1t Is that same" agreed
Mrs. O'Grady, with an approving nod,
as she hauled one child out Of the fen,

frock. "An' what makes ye say that,
Phelim?"
"'Cause me master behaves in me

Of Phellm. He lighted his short pipe
and took his accustomed seat on a
broken chair near the chimney. II
tould him this morning that couldn't
help being late an that had run a
noble In a, minute an half to get
there in tonne. An what do We think
be said?"
"Mebbe that ye deserved another
sixpence week."
Better than that. These are his
very words. 'O'Grady,' ses he, 'Oi wud

THREE ADJUDGED INSANE
BY INSANITY BOARD
John Anderson OF Blackjack, Well
Known in Northern Minnesota, Com
mitted to Fergus Falls.

There seems to be an epidemic of
insanity in this vicinity the last few
days. Judge Probate Clark having
had three cases brought before him
today.
The first matter taken up in the
probate Court this morning was the
case of John Anderson, former
resident Of Blackjack, where he
made his headquarters for several
years while in the employ of the
Thief River Falls Lumber company,
as cruiser and estimator.
Some time ago he lost his mind,
and had been travelling with his wife
through the east in hopes that his
impaired mental faculties might
again become normal, until few
days ago, when he became totally
insane at Oshkosh, Wisconsin,.
Still a resident of this county, he
was brought to Bemidji yesterday,
by Deputy Sheriff Greiger, and
was adjudged insane this forenoon.
Anderson was ordered to he com.
mitt ed to the Fergus Falls insane
asylum, where he was taken this
afternoon by sheriff Bailey.
Anderson is so years of age, and
his case is particularly sad one.

The Sheik and His House.

When the French came into contact
with the Bedouin In Algeria, It was

all in safety"
Then where do you sleep yourself7"
asked an officer IN amazement.
'Oh, for myself, a sheik can live
only In his tenty' said the other, with

A Too Busy Life,

The messenger from Mars surveyed
the multitude which had gathered to
meet him with undisguised interest.
Nor did he hesitate to PROFOUND such
inquiries as his curiosity prompted.

man good humoredly.
+ "And in the past" said an old
man.
How odd! And does none of you
live In the PRESENT."
There was an awkward silence.
Pardon me- said the Marian hasti-

closely"
At this voice from the outskirts of
the crowd spoke up, saying, 1--WE have
not yet learned to live in the present

Ever since regiment of Croatian
