Control of Palsied Hands.

The control men get over their hands
by constant practice was being discuss
ed. One cited the case of an artist who
is afflicted with palsy SO badly that he
cannot convey his food or drink to his
mouth unaided. And yet this man with
pallet and brush in hand can paint as
well as ever he could. Before his brush
touches the canvas his hand trembles
violently, but the moment he feels the
brush touch his picture his stroke be-
comes firm and strong and just what he
desires it to be.
Almost a parallel case is that of
veteran soldier well known in Kansas
City, "Peg Leg" Smith. Smith is now
in the Soldiers home in Leavenworth.
When in Kansas City, he used to run a
cigar wheel at the city hall square.
Smith comes to Kansas City frequent
ly, and when here likes to go to shoot
ing gallery ON Walnut street and shoot
at the targets He is a good shot and
enjoys looking along a rife barrel
Smith has the palsy in an alarming de-
gree. When he raises the rifle and aims
it at the target, it jerks around in such
a lively manner that one would wager
he could not hit the side of house,
but just as he is about to pull the trig-
ger his hand steadies and the next in
slant the bell rings. The palsied man
has hit the bullseye. Kansas City Star.

BALLADE or A FRIEND.

A friend, quaint and prudent friend,
1t is my happy chance to meet
As on my daily walks wend
Through dust and drizzle, cold and heat
To my salute upon the street
Or in the shop or at the door
His lips immutably repeat,
"I'm fair to middling-nothing more"
OF stature tall, he's prone to bend.
His face is patient and discreet.
A subtle charm his manners lend.
He is composed from head to feet.
His glance is keen, his garb is neat,
His beard is long and thin and boar,
And is this phrase his one conceit:
"I'm fair to middling-no nothing more ?"
He's oft absorbed, apprehend,
In thoughts of some polemic sheet
Whose view he labors to defend
Or strives to controvert and beat.
His intellect is clean and sweet
And quick and lucid to the core.
From his reply there's no retreat
''1'm fair to middling-nothing morel"

The Call for Volunteers.

On Saturday, in pursuance of an
act of Congress, the President is
sued a call for 125, 200 volunteers
to serve in the army Of the United
States for two years, unless pre-.
viously discharged. The levy is
to be apportioned among the
States, as far as possible according
to population.
According to the apportionment
made, the Southern States will
have to furnish a total Of 81, ,339
men. These same States have an
an organized militia force of "a ,47O
men. AT first blush, therefore, it
would appear that there is no
chance whatever that volunteers
from civil life. that is to say,
from unorganized material will be
taken. A glance at the table be-
low will show, however, that in
Arkansas, Texas and Mississippi
there will be a chance for few
volunteers.
The following table shows the
quota called for in each Southern
State, the strength of the organized
militia and the population at the
last census:

WAR DECLARED.

The President sent a special
message to Congress Monday. In
the message the President says:
81 recommend the adoption of a
joint resolution declaring that a
state of war exists between the
United States and Spain.
~ urge speedy action thereon to
the end that definition of inter.
national status of the United States
as belIgerent nation be made
known and the assertion of all It's
rights and maintenance of its du-
ties in the conduct of public war
may be assured"
The message says that Spain
treats our reasonable demands as
measures of hostility. following
with the complete severance of di-
plomatic relations. The demands
of this government being denied,
it was constrained to exercise the
power and authority conferred by
Congress to proclaim a blockade of
certain ports of the coast of Cuba,
and in view of measures so taken
recommends a declaration of war.
1t took the House just two min
utes to pass the resolution formally
declaring war between this country
and Spain. Just as the recent
appropriation of $50, 100000 passed
the House, so did this war resolu.
ton. 1t was rushed to the Senate
and after but little delay was
adopted by that body, certified by
the Vice President and Speaker OF
the House, sent to the President
and signed.
SO far there has been no actual
clash of military or naval forces OF
the two countries, but lot of pow
der is almost certain to be burnt in
the next few days.

The Most Favorable Season

To cure catarrh is in the spring.
During the winter the patient is
likely to take fresh cold and have
a setback. But if treatment is
begun in the spring and continued
into the summer, nothing need be
feared for the succeeding winter.
or course, it all depends OIL the
medicine. There are a great many
catarrh medicines. A course of
Peru ma during the spring will
cure catarrh more quickly than at
any other season. Mr.. Walter II.

The WalthaIl Succession,

There is already much specula.
ton as to who Gov. McLaurin will
appoint as the successor of Senator
Walthall. The man appointed will
hold until his successor is elected
by the Legislature which is chosen
in November, 1899, at it's first
meeting, which will be Tuesday
after the first Monday in January,
1900. The Senator then elected
will hold until March 3, 1901. That
Legislature, at that session will
also elect a Senator for the full term
of six years, beginning March 4,
1901.
Gov. McLaurin has long been
credited with the worthy ambition
of himself aspiring to the place held
by Senator Walthall, when he shall
have completed his term as Gov
ernor and Senator Walthall have
served out his full term. If this be
correct, it would be bad politics, as
politics go these days, if the Gov
ernor did not take pains TO appoint
some one to fill the temporary va
cancy who would not be in the way
of his own aspirations later. The
Governors term expires in Janua-
ry, 1900, when the next Legisla-
ture meets, and it will be the nat
ural thing for him, as politician,
to seek to have Legislature
chosen that will not only elect him
for what remains of WalthalPS un-
expired term which the Legisla-
ture will then fill, but for the full
SIX years. term, as well, which is
to Immediately follow it.
Therefore, THE LEADER con-
cludes that the man the Governor
appoints now will be one who gives
assurances that he will not con-
travene the Governors ambition
and plans hereafter, and one of such
mediocre ability and popularity
withal that his short service i'll the
Senate will not likely cause the
terms of the compact ard the Gov
ernor's aspirations to be Overruled
by a popular clamOr from the peo-
ple for his return when the Legis.
lature meets. We think eX-GOv.
Lowry will be the man.
If, however, Governor McLaurin
ignores self and selfish ambitions,
and makes the appointment with
an eye single to the best interests OF
the people, without reference to how
it might hereafter affect his own
aspirations, Judge Robert Powell,
of this district, is the man OF all
others among those mentioned for
the place, the Governor will select.
Able, courtly, fearless and con-
scientious. the mantle of the chiv-
aIrous and lamented Walthall could
not fall on wOrthier shoulders.

DE TOCQUEVILLE'S SELF-RENE.
LATIONS.

In his Dortraiture of Louis Napo-
leon De Tocqueyille says that, as a
a private individual, he possessed GER
tail attractive qualities that intel
lectually, however he was medioc-
rity. with a fanatical trust in his star,
that his passion for vulgar enjoy
nent and his taste for luxury had in
creased still more with the facilities
offered by his position; that his mind
WIS incoherent, confused, filled with
great, but ill-assorted, thoughts; and
that a little vein Of madness ran
through his better sense.
This discrimination, which was the
deel discrimination of man who
had spent his life in plots, was assist
ed in a remarkable way by the immo-
bility of his features and his want of
e. pression: for his eyes were duh and
Opaque like the thick glass rsed to
lieht the cabins of ships, which ad-
niits the light, but cannot be seen
through. The character and fun
damental feature of his mind in polit-
ical matters was his hatred of and
contempt for assemblies, . The
rule of the constitutional monarchy
seemed to him even more insupport-
able than that of the Republic. Be
fore attaining power he had had
time to strengthen his natural taste
for the footmen class, which is al
ways displayed by mediocre princes,
by the habits Of twenty years of con-
spiracy spent amid low-class adven-
turers, men Of ruined fortunes or
blcmished regulations, and young de-
bauchees, the only persons who,
during all this time, would have CON
scented to serve him as go-betweens or
aCcomplices.
Add TO this that De Tocqueville
looked upon Louis Napoleon as "the
greatest and most permanent dan
GER. BY this the anti-Republican
nobleman did not mean a danger to
the Democratic Commonwealth TO
whose existence he was Indifferent,
and whose very principle he disliked,
bat an impediment TO a monarchical
restoration of the Legitimist or Or
leanist character. Yet he confesses
that he had said to the dangerous
pretender:-
81 will never serve you in over
! throwing the Republic: but ! will
gladly strive TO assure you a great
position in il: and believe that all
my friends will end by entering into
my plan The constitution can be
revised Article As, which prohibits
re election, can be changed. This is
an object which we will gladly help
you to attain"
Such was the proposal made and
the counsel given by De Tocqueyille
TO the man whose heart, according to
that minister's own description, was
| in Shakespeare's words, "a closet lock
and key OF villainous secrets. Karl
/ Blind in the Forum
