USE BOTH HANDS.

The Left efay Re Made ss Dextrous az the
Right.
The good physician says that the
child should be taught to use both
hands with equal dexterity. Onesnever
knows how much a thumb is worth till
he spra;ns it; more particularly the
thumb of the right hand. But he will
then come into the full appreciation OF
the phrase: always on hand. like
sore thumb" And he will find, too,
through its disability, that that piece OF
anatomy is an important factor in
about everything he undertakes to do.
Indeed, a man can live without cooks
more comfortably than he can live
without thumbs.
What the thumb is to the hand, so IL
the hand to the remainder of the body;
and thus it becomes a prime essential
that the doctors advice be followed,
and the boy trained in his earliest youth
to use both hands with equal facility.
Nor is the matter one of special diff

incidental, or by education. In the
earliest stage, in fact, the youngster
has no use at all for his fists. except
plungirg them into his eyes or mouth.
He has to learn the use of both, and,
while he is about it, little attention
not more than is bestowed on his walk
and his talk by his doting parents-will
put him on the proper tack as to his
digital extremities.
That this can be readily done il
shown from the ease with which growr
people learn the use of the left hand In
special cases. The young lady type
writer, for example, knows no differ
ence between the right and left bank
of her keys, while the pianist is accus
toned to execute the most difficult
passages on the lower register of the
instrument.

Since these results can be attained IL

HILLS midwinter convention In New
York has come and gone; it has, as was
expected, fixed the New York delegation
to the national democratic convention
solid for Hill, but that does not change
the situation in the least-the demo-
cratic nominee will be either Grover
Cleveland or western man. While all
men who are abreast of current events
will acknowledge that Hill has proven a
successful leader in New York, it does
not follow that New York should for.
ever dictate to the rest of the nation.
Western and southern democrats will
be heard from all along the line, and it
the New York s'fiixers'' do not ''tumble
to the racket" before they get to Chi
cago in June, they are sure to take an
lgnominious tumble then and there.

Morgan Caraway, the bright young
editor of the Great Bend Register. is
candidate for secretary of state. He

Eccentric Persons Hide Money Where It

died suddenly and left no visible trace
of his wealth. The family had made q

any of those complicated methods of
cOncealment which are one of the
miser's chief characteristics.
