cles. so is the vision of the mind's eye
affected by tbe hick of control of tbe
mind muscles, so to speak.
Tbe vision is distorted.
I know a farmer -.who cannot rightly
see things. When It rains be fancies
tbe crops will be ruined by tbe flood.
and when It doesn't rain be is quite
certain there will be a long, disastrous
drought
I know a merchant who suffers In tbe
same way. It never is com enougn ro
sell bis stock of winter goods, and
mostly tbe weather la too chilly to
offer his summer fabrics.
I know a lawyer who suffers from a
like mental defect. He can see no good
in his fellow attorneys. In bis way of
seeing, every member of the bar save
himself Is crooked. And tbe commu
nity never has given him credit for tbe
ability be possesses.
Cross eyed!
I know a preacher who always sees
and deplores tbe decline of religion and
the state of tbe church. He blames the
people. Instead of himself, because his
congregation Is so small.
I know a doctor who takes the time
b. should give to his medical Journals
to explain to yon bow bis brother phy
sicians violate "professional ethics."
while he himself Is Immaculate.
I know an editor who forever Is find
ing fault with his town and Its people
and who seldom prints a boost for bis
community.
I know a man who can see no good In
his neighbors or their children and who
Is busy the summer through with a
controversy because of his dogs and
chickens.
I know a woman who scents a scan
dal each time she sees two persons of
opposite sex talking with each-other,
who is sure the grocer always cheats
ber and is ready to suggest that So
and so is not as good as she appears
to be.
Crosseyed people.
They cannot see things straight
Victims of mental strabismus, pos
sibly they cannot be blamed for It
And the cure?
Flesh and blood cross eyes may be
straightened and cured by a surgical
oiHTjition. That Is common.
Possibly there Is no other way by
whlcb cross eyed minds may be cured.
Dr. Bathurst's Lady.
Writing In the last half of tbe seven
teenth century, Anthony A. Wood, an
old bachelor who knew bis own mind.
thus commiserates his friend and con
frere. Dr. Bathurst: "Dr. Bathurst
took his place of vie. chancellor, a
man of good parts and able to do good
things, but be has a wife that scorns
that be should be in print: a scornful
woman, scorns that be was dean of
Wells; no need of marrying suco a wo
man, who !s so conceited that she
thinks herself fit to govern s college
or nniversity."
