Gas" Addicks, who Is making such
hard fight to be elected United States SEN
ator from Delaware, first went cunning
for the senatorship about ten years ago.
His candidacy was received with shouts
of derision at Dover; no one apparently
regarded 1t In a serious light. six years
later, however, Addicks again appeared m
the ring and held a sufficient number OF
votes to prevent the election of any Re-
publican. The legislature adjourned with
out electing anyone, and as the succeed
ing legislature was Democratic Addicks
did not figure In IL. When the Republicans

lature last autumn, however. Addicks

with a range so much in excess of any
previous ordnance that the government

insufficient for ascertaining its maximum
range. When fired for the first time the
shot went ont to sea miles beyond the

WHY WE'RE RIGHT-HANDED.
Location of the Heart the Chief Cause
of Single Handedness.


10 the boxer, wrestler, OF hand-to-hand
CCmbatant, the most vulnerable portion
of the body is undoubtedly the heart A
hard blow, we'll delivered on the left
breast, will easily kill-or at any rate
StUn-eyen a strong man. Hence. from
an early period men have used the right
hand to fight with, and have employed
the left arm chiefly to cover the heart
and te parry blow aimed at that spe~
cially vulnerable region. When weapons
of offense and defense superseded the
fist it was the right hand that grasped
the spear and sword, while the left held
over the heart the shield or bucker
From this simple origin. then, the
whole vast difference in civilized life
takes its beginning. At first no doubt
the superiority of the right hand was
only felt in the manner of fighting But
that alone gave it prominence, and paved
the way for its supremacy elsewhere.
