Why tho coeoanut Ha. Eyes.

Who can tell why the cocoanut has
three eyes? Luther Burbank explains
It this way;
Cocoanuts generally grow at the
edge of the sea or rivers. The nuts are
surrounded with thick husk with a
waterproof covering. so that when they
1rop into the water they will float In
floating the three eyes are always on
top.
Once in the water nature gets busy
From one Of the eyes there comes
shoot. which develops broad leaves
like sails. The wind catches the. sails
and watts the cocoanut on a journey
sometimes many miles long. As 1t sails
the other two eyes develop roots.
which at hrst grow among the fibers
Of the woody husk
In good season the cocoanut is swept
upon another shore. perhaps on anoth
er island. The roots embed themselves
In the soft earth. the sail becomes the
trunk. and cocoanut palm is growing

The Tired Business Man.

Are not all business men tired? II

musical comedies and vaudeville per.

refreshing the tired business mani
If there is any one claim that has
been conceded for nges past 1t Is this:
Fatigue is much more fatal to a man
than to woman. We seldom hear of
a tired washerwoman or n tired house
keeper. Nobody ever wrote n musical
comedy for tired schoolmarms. II has
always been held that II man has to

such manifold military advantages
over coal burning vessels that it would
be practically suicidal from a mill
tary point of view for the navy de-
partment to abandon the policy of
building oil burning ships; but the
demand that this legislation be en-
acted and the support that this bill
has received, have caused the navy
department to seriously consider the
advisability of abandoning this policy,
and thus design ships known TO be
inferior to ships which country pos
sessing an oil supply can build"
These bills have made such progress
that the advantage of position is with
them and against the public. Every
effort will be made to jam them
through at the beginning of the short
session of congress. Powerful water
power and oil interests are fighting
for them. | appeal to you as citizen
interested in the public welfare with
out regard to politics to lend a hand
in defeating these attacks on public
property and on the safety and well
fare of the navy and the nation.

tom, you may read" Tom, an
overgrown boy, two or three years
older than the other children in his
grade, rose awkwardly and unstead-
lily to his feet. The teacher turned to
her visitor with a shrug which eX-
pressed her utter despair Of Tom and
his ability to read. Said she in a
whisper, Il think he's just plain dumb.
Tom has been in this grade two years
and he can't read bit better now than
when he came in. Listen to him"
Tom was bent way over his book, peer
ing at the print, studying out the
words one by one The teacher inter
upted his hesitations recitation with
a sharp--"That will do, sit down.
Then she turned to the visitor with
resignation in her entire bearing
What would you do with a hopeless
pupil like that" Have his eyes ex-
amined," the answer came quickly.
Why, l never had thought of that"
gaSped the teacher, and then with the
thought came various recollections OF
Tom as he sat in his seat crouched
down over his book and her sharp ad-
monitiOn to sit up straight; OF his
utter failure to copy problems or SEN
fences written on the board of his in
ability to learn, which came not from
lack of trying, but what she had term
ed "dumbness".
The teacher visited Toms father and
mother. After considerable persua-
sion they consented to take the boy to
an oculist Tom was found to be
suffering from astigmatism, which
caused the words on the printed page
to double and dance before his eyes
A pair of glasses corrected the diff

He is still handicapped by being two
years behind his grade, by a painful
lack of self-confidence and by a rep
utation for dullness. However, all of
these handicaps are being rapidly
overcome.
A child who needs glasses needs
them at once and not several years
later. To wait until he has grown
older on the plea that he will break
his glasses or Outgrow them is to do
him an irreparable injury.

HIGH COST OF DYING

There are men who argue that liv-
ing is high, but they might try dying.
A living man gets shaved for 15c but
a dead one pays S. and never kicks. A
good kersey overcoat costs $25 but a
wooden costs 500. A grave digger
gets zoe al hour for planting potatoes
but for planting you he gets four
times that much. A carriage to the
theatre costs 81 but to the cemetery it
costs So. A saloon keeper will fill
your hide to bursting for soc, but the
embalmer gets $3.50 for the same JOB.
Come to think of it there are lot of
things left to live for in this world, de
