His Preference.

A distinguished eye surgeon tells 4
good story Of his hospital days. Three
other young. newly nedged oculists
and himself were chatting In their
CHARTERS in the hospital when the con-
vorsation turned. as was natural in
young men. upon the beauty OF differ
cnt colors OF eyes. One champioaed
the superior brilliancy and sparkle OF
the blue eye; another the depth and
FIRE OF the brown. while the third was
all for the clear. cool light OF the
hazel. After they had exhausted their
eloquence, with the usual effect OF con.
iirming themselves in their original
opinions the fourth young sawbones
suddenly broke in:
Il don't care q hang about your blue
eyes, or your brown eyes. or your gray
eyes! Just give me sore eyes and
plenty OF 'em-and I'll be happy"
