FIRST AND LAST APPEARANCE
Only Occasion on Which Casey Was

An old freshman named Casey made
lot of money as a contractor and
built fine house for his children.
The sons and daughters were much
ashamed OF the plebeian father, and
Casey was always kept In the rear
Of the house when they had a party
or reception. One day Casey died,
and there was great TODD about It..
The children had a fine coffin, with
plenty Of flowers, and Casey was laid
In state in the parlor.
That evening an old Irish woman,
who had known Casey when he was
a laborer, came and asked to see the
face OF her dead friend. They con
Quoted her to the parlor.
She walked up to the coffin, took a
long look, and said:

Two Marks o. Beauty.

Beautiful eyes and brows are. In
one sense. a special gift OF nature.
Many a plain woman is redeemed by
fine eyes; many pretty face spoiled
by red-rimmed dull, lusterless eyes,
But at the same time a great deal may
be done TO make even unpromising
eyes clear and attractive, to render
eyes which are only passably pretty
really beautiful
Attention to the general health will
go far to make the eyes clear and
bright and prevent fatigue, even when
they are called upon to do great
deal OF work.
Have you never noticed the dull
eyes OF person afflicted with dyspep.
STA, the yellow tinge of overlooking
and neglected liver; the lusterless
eyes OF the woman who sleeps in an
ill.ventilated room, who takes no ex.
ercise and spends all her spare time
reading novels over the fire?
