What Color Are Your Ewes?

Are your green? If they not you can not claim. the indorsement of the great classic writers. Of course. this does grass green. but the graysh green so often found in the most expressive eyes. It was Dante who described Beat rce's eyes, emeralds. and in English literature Frances Collin writes:
 And let those green eyes divine
 Pour their love madness into mine.
 While SWinburne describes the finest eyes.
 O fervid eyelids letting through
 Those eyes the greenest of things blue.
 The bluest of things gray.
 Shakespeare did indeed speak of the green eyed monster" but he is the great exception.
 The eye always been considered the most expressive feature in the human countenance, so it is natural that every Hedging poet hastens pen ode the eyes of fair maid. Called windows of the heart" their expressiveness has been emphasized rather more than the color. Some writers claim that the color of the is in dicaton of character Dark blue eyes in persons delicate. refined effemi- nature light blue,. and much more. gray in the hardy and active: greenish eyes have gen. erally the meaning gray; hazels the usual indication of masculine. vigorous and pro- found mind"
 Many modern poets pay full tribute to blue eyes. Shelley comparing them to deep blue. boundess heaven
 Spain they proverb: Blue eyes say, Love die;' black eyes say. Love kill thee"
 Gray eyes their admirers, Shakes peare speaks of Your eyes gray blass and right amiable." Black eyes interpreted both good and evil, and the Mahommedan heaven is filled with Virgins with chaste mien and large black eyes" the black eyed girl is deceitful will be held libel by every dark eyed maiden. The sug- geston possibly from of the rhymes:
 Gray-eyed greedy,
 Brown-eyed needy
 Back-eyed never likin' Till 1t shame all it's kin.
 Proverbs more than half true.
 The setting of the has much to do with it's beauty and the appreciation of beholders. Long sweeping laShes added beauty and the brow has always been studied in connection with character

MISTAKES MADE BY AUTHORS
Interpretations by Popular WriterS
Have Been Many, and In Some
Cases They Have Stuck.

Some OF the most frequently used
quotations are not quotations at all.
but In many cases convey the oppo-
site meaning OF the original word
ing.
Fenimore Cooper, for instance.
Thought he was quoting from the b.
BILE when he spoke of an inscription
being devised that "he who runs may
read" signifying that It was easily
read by man in haste. IL Cooper
had looked In his Bible he would
have found in the book of Habakkuk
that the passage he tried to quote
was: Write the vision and make 1t
plain that he may run that readeth
It." The vision was warning and
the reader was to fee from danger, but
the Cooper version has survived the
original and practically put 1t out of
use
A popular chronic Interpretation Is
that of the passage in "Hudibras,"
which says: He that complies
against his will is Of the same opin-
ion still" Authors and public speak
ers without number have twisted
that into "A man convinced against
his will is of thessame opinioA STILL"
forgetting that man who was con.
WINGED could not possibly remain of
his previous opinion. for II he was
of the same opinion he would not be
convinced.
Theodore Roosevelt publicly de-
clared that Washington in his fare
well address said; ITO be prepared
for war Is the most effective means
to promote peace" But the first
president said nothing of the sort In
his farewell address. In his first mes
sage to congress he said: ITO be pre-
pared for war is one of the most Gf-
fective means of preserving peace,
and he spoke of other means as
well.
Novelists do not seem to be very
strong in their knowledge of the
Scriptures somehow, and Sir Walter
Scott in The Heart of Midlothian"
attempts to point moral with the
words: "Our simple and unpretend-
ing heroine had the spirit of those
peacemakers to whom Il is promised
as benediction that they shall in
herit the earth" The fact is that
the peacemakers did not receive any
such promise, but 1t Is said that the
meek shall inherit the earth"

TO THE VOTERS OF CAIRO.

A special city election win be
held at the usual voting places in

of submitting to the legal voters OF
the city the question, whether the

ing and maintaining levees, protec-

City of Cairo"
This election will be held under
authority of an enabling act passed
at the recent session o. the state
legislature at the instance OF a com
mittee OF Cairo citizens appointed
by the local executive flood commit
tee on duty last spring. This COM
mittee then recognized the fact
that the city had no available funds
to meet the expense OF fighting the
flood. That the only means to raise
funds was to induce the legislature
to pass the law above mentioned.
This act having been passed, IL is
now up TO the voters to vote Eyes"
on the proposition, and thus enable
the council to pay the bills con-
tracted for the saving of our city
from destruction by the greatest
food that has ever threatened ii.
These unpaid bills are mostly due to
our own citizens for material used
in fighting the food, and we should
all unite in voting the means to pay
them.
The government and the state ap-
preparations positively cannot be
used for this purpose. as every dol
lar OF these appropriations will be
handled by officials of the govern
ment and OF the state respectively.
AS stated in the election notice
published in The Bulletin, this tax
is FOR ONE YEAR ONLY. Should
a future council need to raise
funds for leyee purposes. X would
be necessary to again submit the
question to a vote of the people
each year tax levy might be
needed.
Remember that the tax is levied
only upon the assessed valuation
as equalized for taxation pur-
poses, which means one-third OF
the valuation OF property as fixed
by the assessor.
We, therefore, earnestly urge ali
voters to mark their tickets "yes
when voting.
