MurdererIs ONersluht.

Perhaps the smallest creature that
ever unrolled the curtain from before
an unsupported murder was that
which convicted the murderer of Mr..
and Mrs. Newtown in 1893. A sta
tionmaster sold ticket at small Sta7
ton and received a silver coin dated
1926, rather oddly marked. He put
the coin in his pocket and placed an
other in the till, and that afternoon
showed it to some Of his friends. A
man recognized it Immediately as one
that Newtown had kept for some time
as a pocketpiece and lucky coin, and
this was the first hint gained by the
detectives as to where they should
look for the murderer, who was sub
sequently apprehended and convicted.
1t was a minute trifie, this handing
over a coin, but ii brought the MUIR
derer to the just punishment which
his crime deserved. Had he CHANGED
on any other piece of money in his
pocket-and it was afterwards known
that he he'd a pocketful of money
he would I'm all probability have re-
manned Observation-Disclosures Mail.

If Your Eyes Are Tired.

seat yourself on one side of the
room, facing the wall opposite. Hold
the head still and raise the eyes slowly
until you are looking as nearly as pos
sible at the ceiling above you. Now
lower the eyes, looking at the floor be-
fore you. Take care, when looking
down, not to focus the eyes on the
nose, but on the floor at your feet. Re-
peat this ten times, but take care not
to Over-weary the eyes.
Now look as far to the right as pos
sible, then slowly shift the gaze to the
left. Repeat as before.
For final exercise imagine huge
circle in the air before you, and with
out moving the head, follow the out
lines of this circle with your eyes, be-
ginning at the left, and going to the
right for ten times. then beginning at
the right and moving toward the left.
When your exercises are over, battle
the eyes in warm water to which you
have added a pinch of boracic acid.
then close them and rest for five min
utes.

TO down the rising reserve which was
always intensified by q meeting with
stranger.
I'm pleased to meet you" Irene's
full-throated voice rang out pleasantly
as she extended her firm white hand
and raised her blue, blue eyes to his.
She waited for no reserve to melt. In
fact, she neither felt nor noticed any
such thing.
DO you play tennis?' she inquired,
with glance toward the racket in her
hand.
Then Bill surprised himself "Just
try me-" he answered, when you finish
your errand."
i. Auntie BaScom heaved a sigh of re-
lief as they walked off together.
"Irenell keep him amused for little
WHILE" she calculated, although /
know he won't approve of her romp-
ing ways"
Somehow there was not any more
talk of going home, and somehow Bill
began to take an interest in his visit.
Never did Aunt Della attribute this
change TO the lively Irene, for there
was always crowd of young people
together. Her enlightenment came sud-
denly and Internationally.
Bill had gone away for the evening.
The dishes had been carefully washed
and dried. The soft evening breeze
blew by the open door with a pulling
force. Throwing a shawl about her
shoulders, Aunt Della started across
the garden path TO her neighbours, Mrs.
Roberts, for q chat. 1t was a walk
that she loved. The moonlight was
soft and scented. Her thoughts turn
ed fondly back to the time when she
had not walked this path alone. Pass
ing slowly along, she stopped for
moment by the summer house. Her
attention was caught by familiar
voice:
But, Irene, are you sure that you
can put up with an old stupid like
me?'
Then a TREMENDOUSLY happy voice
replied:
"Oh Bill, are you sure you will new
er call me a tombOy?'
Aunt Della wanted to pass quietly
along, but her establishment held her
rooted to the spot. Bill sensing the
presence of an outsider discovered her.
He drew the gentle Irene out into the
soft glamor of the moonlit night.
You may kiss Irene, auntie," he
generously offered in bold confidence.
You may have known her ever since
she was a baby, but l shall even that
up for / expect to know and love
her for the rest of her lifetime"

Telling Fortunes With Oil.

Among the Kherrias of India a very
curious marriage ceremony is report
ed. Taking a portion of the hair of
the bride and bridegroom in turn from
the center of the forehead, the priest
draws it down onto the bridge of the
nose. Then pouring oil on the head,
he watches it carefully as it trickles
down the portion of hair. If the oil
runs straight onto the tip of their
nose their future will be fortunate,
but if it spreads over the forehead or
trickles off on either side of the nose,
i'll luck is sure TO follow. Their for
tunes told, generally to their own sat-
isfaction, the final part of the cere-
mony takes place. Standing up side
by side, but with faces strictly avert
ed, the bride and bridegroom mark
each others forehead with "sindur"

GOOD ROADS BILL
BECOMES LAW;

Postoffice Bill Gives Many
Millions For Roads In New

Washington, ID. c., Feb. 13.
The postollice appropriation bill,
as it passed the senate this week,
carries 100000, GOO, additional
funds for post roads and so, 600
0O0, 600 for national forest roads,
all available for expenditure up
TO June 30, 1921; also providing

ricuture of such war material.
equipment and supplies as are
no longer necessary for war pur-
poses but are useful in the i'm.
provement of roads, for distrib- =
ution among the states on the
same basis of apportionment of
valuation as is now provided in
the Federal Road act. Ten per
cent, however. may be retained
10y the secretary for use on ma
tional forest roads and roads
built under his supervision.
The bill goes to conference,
and those having it in charge are
confident the house will agree.
Should the bill become law
Texas. New Mexico and Arizona
will see the light of a new day.
The figures for these states are
as follows:
Under the present appropria-
ton the share of Arizona now
available for post roads, unless
expended on recent construction,
is $4ll, ,08l,; of New Mexico,
$l74, SAT; of Texas. 81, 752, no.
To this will be added, Arizona,
$685., O43; New Mexico, S79S, 1856;
Texas, 1926, 219, all available
until June 80. 1919.
Adding these amounts one can
easily see that there are inn
mense sums ready to expend
this spring Just as soon as work
can be started.
