Lady on Witness Stand.

Philander c. Knox used to tell the
story of Pennsylvania lawyer. known
throughout the state for his sharp.
ness, who once met his match in a very
unexpected quarter.
An old woman was being crOss-ex-
amined by him as to how the testator
had looked when he made Il remark
to her about some relative.

DO you mean to tell me that your
memory is so bad that you cannot 20

attorney.
The witness was silent.
Did he look anything like me?" the
lawyer finally ventured.
Seems to me he did have the same
sort of vacant look" responded the
old lady.

then they would scud away and let
him shine minute, only to scud in
front of him again.
At last the old man lost his patience
and sent message by n star for the
old Sky Witch. "Tell her to hurry"
he told the little messenger, "for
have lost a great deal IF time Dow."
Old Sky Witch came hurrying along
on her broOmstick, her long black cape
fioating behind her like big cloud.
"Well, here l am," she said what
can do for you?"
Hurry as fast as ever you can to
the four corners Of the Earth and tell
the winds to come here quickly; or |
shall not be able to shine at all to-
night" said Mr.. Moon-man.
Old Sky Witch did not stop even to
ask what was the matter. but off she
flew and was soon out of sight, and all
the time the saucy little clouds kept
on bothering Mr.. Moon-man.
He did not have to wait long. for as
soon as the winds got the message
from the Witch they blew quickly to
help Mr.. Moon-man out of his trou.
ble."

from north south. east and west, and
scudding away as fast us they could
the saucy little clouds were soon In

man sent his bright beams on the
earth without being disturbed.
"Thank you," said Mr.. MoOn-man;
sorry to call on you at this time In
the night, but those saucy clouds were
pestering me beyond endurance"
"Oh, that's all right" answered the
winds; I'VE are always glad TO help n
friend" and away they blew and left
the night all still, but the big Earth
was bright with the happy smile of

FEW EYES REALLY NORMAL
Just as One Is Right or Left-Handed,
So It Is With the Organs
Of Vision.

Very few people realize that they
are as much right-eyed or left-eyed
as they are right or left-handed.
Sit down in n chair and fix your at.
tentiOn on some subject on the other
side of the room. Quickly hold your
finger up right in front Of the object,
and instantly shut your eyes. Then
without moving your head or your
finger open your eyes one at a time.
If, when YOU open your right eye, you
find your finger directly in front of
the object, you are right-eyed In
that case YOU will find your finger
very much to the right of the object
when YOU open your left eye
If YOU are right-handed you will
most probably find that you are right.
eyed.
This is due to the fact that of the
two halves of your brain one is slight
ly more developed than the other And
the organs and limbs on that side of
your body which is controlled by the
more developed half are able to carry
out your wishes more easily and
quickly than those of the other side

The Right Thing
at the Right Time
By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE

Il persons own nnrrOwness to "knock"
another town In this way. If the man
from large city goes to small one
he should take 1t for granted that
things would be different. If North
erner goes South he should bear in
mind that Southern climates make
people more indolent and he should re-
member that If he remains there long
enough he, too, will possess something
Of that Incidence. And If a South
erner goes North he should remember
that the natives Of the northern cities
have really nothing to do with the raw
climate and that the very progressive
ness which has brought him North to
do business robs daily intercourse
of some of the charming courtesy
that makes Southern life so different
The real man of the world soon for
gets any local prejudlces he may have,
or rather he is wise and well bred
enough to forget them. He realizes
that 1t Is through no fault of the ma
tives of the town where he sojourns
that he has to remain among them and
tuHt theoTetlCally III leaSt he is Tree
to leave the town If lie does not like
1t. just at present there are good
many shifts in business and industry.
The end of the war and rehabilitation
Of the soldiers and the closing of
certain war industries and the be-
ginning of other peace Industries have
made it inevitable that good many
young men should find themselves in
a new environment. City men find
themselves in the country or village
and country and village men find
themselves for the first time in the big
cities; Easterners find themselves in
the West. Westerners find themselves
East. NOrthernerS awake to the fact
that great opportunities await in the
land of cotton and Southerners on dis
Ambarking in the northern ports dis

men IN new environment show your
good sense and good breeding by not

IN A STRANGE TOWN.

II am not virginian--buta an Ameri-
can."-Patrick Henry.
TT IS always a bad idea to knock the
1 other mans home town. Especially
poor policy is 1t when you are making
your living there. Yet there are al
ways young men-and women, too
who seem to tuke peculiar satisfaction
In passing uncomplimentary comments
on the city or town of their adoption.
They don't seem to remember that the
man or woman who is at home in that
town is in position of host and that
town is almost as rude as to make
scathing remarks about the house of
the man whose guest you are. Especial
ly is this so when the town is small.
The stranger in town like New
York or Chicago really harms no one
but himself when he continues to pour
forth his disgruntlement over the city
of his temporary sojourn. No one
takes offense. At most they are bored
or amused. But when stranger In
a small town assures the natives that
1t is away behind the times, that the
buildings are atrocious. the streets the
worst paved in the country, the res
taurants and hotels the worst run, the
women the plainest and the movies
