Show THINQ8 WE DO NOT 8EE. Proof That the Majority of People Are Unobservant. A man who had recently been In Europe was entertaining his frlcnda with stories about Paris, and In the course of his talk mentioned several places which were unknown to hla listeners, although they had all frequently fre-quently visited the French capital. "People go through the world with their eyes shut," was the story teller's tell-er's comment.

Do you know bow many columns It has on a page?" "No." "You look at your watch many times every day. Can you tell me, Is the six on Its face a Roman or an Arabic flguro?" "Why, Roman, of course." And he looked, and found that there was no "six" on his watch dial. "All of which demonstrates," said the little man, "that the most observing do not always see." |
