The SRIly Eye

The effect Of full. straightforward
gaze on the person TO whom one is
speaking is not. as a rule, sufficiently
considered. And yet there is nothing in
personal intercourse that carries more
weight than direct gaze 1t is the me-
dunn for sympathy. the mental telegra-
ply that brings speaker and nearer In
touch with each other.
Every one has had the experience Of talk
ing to a person whose wandering glances
betray their lack of interest, but one
Otter fails TO analyze the subtle attrac-
ton Of an attentive eye that stimulates
and ,nsplrits one all uncOnsciously While
one converges.
Children should be taught early IN
life TO look fearlessly and conhdingly
into the eyes Of anyone who addresses
them: the habit will be OF good service
TO them in after years.
The prevailing idea that shifty eyes
betoken dupliCity. however. while a
steadfast regard shows an honest dispO-
sltion. is not a correct one. Shyness
is responsible in many cases for an
averted glance. while the bold, bright
eyes OF many a young vagabOnd often
serve only as an aid 10 deception and
fraud. so that II Is hardly fair TO con-
denim a person who is unable as the
saying is to look one straight in the
face" and il should be considered more
of a misfortune than an evidence of un-
trustworthiness.
People who are called magnetic almost
always, IL may be noticed, have n pro-
nounced visual power The interest that
they feel or profess to feel in others.
is Intensified by a certain concentration
In their regard. which seems to include
alone the person addressed. II IS fat

Does Literary Work
Spoil Women'S Looks?

Today. when so many women make a
business of writing. it may be asked,
Does. literary work inture the looks ?"
Happily the answer TO that question IS
No" True, George Eliot. to take a
great name. was a woman who was ex-
ceedingly plain. and her face got strong

years. Other women with "A strong,
masculine type of face could also be
mentioned, but as they are alive.

would be inadmissible. There / little
doubt. however, that a certain amount
OF brain work is good for woman's looks
II introduces an expression OF thought
into her face. Thought presupposes the
existence of brains. and brains give
hghtness and vivacity to the express
sion-sOmething, perhaps, indefinable,
but nevertheless a very definite and
pleasing expression which. delightful In
itself. Is always alluring and attractive

And when all is said and done. in spite
OF what the cynics may say, In spite OF
what the soured may urge. in spite OF
the repression which necessity may en-
force. the attraction OF woman for man.
and conversely Of man for woman. is
the vital, supreme and overwhelming
force in the world. 1t was, IL is. IL al

RUFF MAKES GOOD
GIVES AWAY MEN HIGH


San Francisco. May 16.-Abraham
Ruef today made good his declaration
of yesterday that he would. following
his change of plea to guilty In the
extortion case, against him, turn
States evidence and assist the bribery
and graft prosecution in Its campaign
against municipal corruption.
Ruef, obeying a subpoena from the
grand jury. served upon him at the
Fillmore Street prison house. shortly
before o'clock. went In the charge of
Special Agent Burns EIfsor Buggy and
another guard, TO the grand jury cham
Der, where he took the witness stand
and submitted to an examination that
lasted from $3.50 o'clock until after 5
p. m.
When the ordeal was over he called
the newspaper men around him and
said that he had promised the grand
jury to divulge nothing. District At
torney Langdon and Assistant District
Attorney Heney refused to make any
statement whatever. From special
agent Burns IL was learned that the
only matter in which Ruef was ques-
toned was the alleged bribing of
Mayor Schmitz and eighteen supervis-
ors by the United Railroads to grant
to that corporation a change in it's
franchise allowing the electrifying of
its $50 miles of street railway In this
city.
If Burns understanding of Ruefs
testimony is correct, the fallen boss
told the grand jury that President Pat
rick Calhoun, Assistant President Null
laly. Chief Counsel Ford and Assistant
Counsel Abbott of the United Railroads
paid or caused to be paid the sum of
100000 for the provisions named; that
$4,000 of this amount was Ruers fee;
that $4,000 went into the pocket of
Mayor Schmitz and that~the remaining
$4,000 was handed to the eighteen su-
pervisors. sixteen of them receiving $4.-
600 each; another demanding and get
ting $4,000 and Chairman Gallagher
of the finance committee, being paid
$4,000 for acting as go-between.
After the examination ST Ruef was
concluded. the grand jury remained in
executive session until $3.50 o'clock,
Subsequently the statement was made
but not officially confirmed that indict-
ments had been voted against four high
officials of the United Railroads and
Schmitz, as predicted by an officer of
the prosecution two weeks ago.
Seen In his prison room tonight, Ruef
said regarding the ordeal through
which he had passed:
Il was received and treated by the
grand jury with a consideration that
touched me deeply. When L entered the
i'oih every one OF tne seventeen Jurors
present arose and took me by the hand
When l finished my testimony, every
o: of them got up and babe me good
night with hearty handclasp. No dis
position was displayed to grill me. The
trying task 1 had voluntarily set for
myself was made as easy by kindness
as 1 could have hoped. / do not know
when 1 shall be again called to testify.
Perhaps tomorrow: I am ready.
''The reports published locally today
showing that 1t is my intention to tell
everything l know, no matter who may
be dragged down into the shame and
disgrace, is untrue and unwarranted.
