Show Profitable Glass Eye. "Nobody Is going to poke out a good eye just for the sake of getting a glass eye," said the city salesman, "but I know a man who makes money on his glass eye. lie goes to Europe three times a year on business. While there he does a little trading In Jewels Jew-els as a side line. It is on tho homeward home-ward trip that he turns his glass eye to good account. In the cavity back of it he carries two or three small but valuable diamonds. Half tho duty saved is his commission on these stones alone. The customs inspectors have never got on to him. Naturally they can't go around Jabbing their fingers into people's eyes." New York Sun. |
