Tor know that he is born fighter
and that 1 am likely to have tough
job.
Most men when they are fighting
retain a certain amount of discretion
and remember that brutal assault on
the police Is very serious ofrense.
But the man with the gray eyes.
though he may In his calmer moments
be quite aware of the folly of resist
ance, forgets all about that when his
blood Is up. He thinks of only one
thing, and that is to win the fight.
ut isn't among criminals only that
the gray eye denotes the fighter. 1
have observed the same thing among
professional pugllists, an enormous pro.
portion Of whom have gray eyes.
with soldiers and sailors 1t Is fust
the same. Many of our foremost gen
erals and admlrals have eyes Of this
color. 1t Is the more remarkable when
we remember that the number of peo-
pie who have gray eyes is small com
pared with other shades.
The moral Is that when you are
dealing with a gray eyed man you
should be cautious In provoking him"

ure from custom, why should she not
propose7
A New York woman, Mrs. Belle de
Rivera, president Of the New York CITY
Federation of Woman's Clubs believes
that women should share mems prerog-
alive. "They have right to propose
not only in leap year, but whenever
they choose" she says. Suppose a
girl is rich and man is poor. He
loves her and she kliows 1t; he In his
modesty dare not propose. She loves
him, too. Should she not propose?"
There are historic instances of where
women have proposed. Queen Victoria
has been the leading example. She
might not have informed her choice,
Prince Albert. in SO many words that
she desired him to wed her, but she
chose him from the other suitors pre-
.sented to her for appreciation and let
him know It And besides that, 1t was
a love match and surely resulted hap
PLY II ever royal romance did.
Queen Wilhelmina of Holland
thought the example of Queen Victoria
good enough for her to follow, and she
proposed to the present prince consort
Nine. de Stael, who was clever
enough and attractive enough to have
cajoled any man into proposing to her
IL she had really wanted him, wasted
no time on artifice or subterfuge, but
asked the man. He accepted with
pleasure and they were married, though
she kept the marriage secret for long
time.
Literature has had many examples
of women taking the initiative in ask
ing the momentous question. There was
Rosalind, who had to lead Orlando on
to the point, and Priscilla, who took
the bashful John Alden in hand when
he asked for his rival. why don't
you speak for yourself, John?'' was as
clever proposal as any girl could
make. Then there is the heroine Of
George Bernard Shaw's Man and SUI
perman," whose pursuit of the hero
was 30 effective.
Baroness Burdett Coutts, at the age
Of 81, married William Ashmead Bart
lett. an American thirty years her
junior, and lived very happily with him
till her death.
Thackeray said that any woman
could make man fall in love with
her unless she was squint-eyed and had
a hump on her back. Bernard Shaw
promulgated the doctrine that 1t was
the woman who chose, anyhow. Why,
then, should woman spoil the game
for herself by coming right out with a
proposal, when by patience and little
tact she could tease one out Of man

to the taxlcab. or more properly the
taximeter cab. which vehicle Is proyid-
ed with recording instrument on the
dial of which is shown the exact fare
or tariff due. A German inventor, a
couple of years ago, perfected the first
taximeter, which instrument, housed
In small metal box foot long, half a
foot wide and four or five inches deep
performs the manifold duty of reckon.
Ing the fare the cab earns while tray-
cling on the street, while waiting in
front of the club or department store,
while carrying extras such as trunks
and miscellaneous luggage. and In nd
dition keeps a record of the drivers
actions by registering the number of
trips the cab makes each day, counting
up the total mileage of the day and
the exact mileage of each trip. and
finally making record of mileage and
fares for the benefit of the cab owner.
In brief. the taxicab comes as a de-
tcctive prodigy between the cab own
er and the cab driver on the one hand
and between the cab driver and the
travelling public on the other hand.

A WORD 10 BROTHERS.


1t is the easiest thing in the world
for boy to be kind to some other
fellows sister. Why is 1t that some
OF them find 1t so hard to remember
to be equally courteous to their own

own sister without really realizing 1t:
In other words, he forgets to be po-
lite. Then, again, he is afraid of be-
ing dubbed as sissy If he should
be caught paying some attention to
his sister. 1t is a bad habit for
