Had Man a Third Eye ?

1t is all article OF faith with many
naturalists that man could once con-
troll his ears, after the manner OF
donkeys, and thus direct the flap so as
to hear IA sound better. All except a
few gifted individuals have lost their
talent, and are compelled to put their
hands behind their ears il they want
to listen better. Nor is this the full
extent of our degeneracy, for, accord
ing to contemporary, our pregeni-
tors had third eye on the top Of the
head, and the two we still possess
were then at the sides. They have
gradually moved around to the front
as the skylight got useless, but they
have not reached their final destina-
ton. Apparently they are making
for the tip of the nose; that seems a
good, prominent position for them, as
the Holsters have discovered long ago.
With revolving ears, an eye on each
side OF his head, and another on the
roof, the primitive man would have
made capital war respondent.

friends became somewhat estranged.
One rather provoked the other by
claiming an injury which was really

cense and endeavoring to atone for
any error unknowingly committed,
by kindly deeds and good offices, with
out avail, the forbearance of thesecond
person gave way and he spoke rather
sharply himself, sad though it made

overlook the mere triyialities OF life
and ever judge Il person by the same
standard that we would have our own
merits appreciated. Be not too hasty
in jumping at conclusions, remember
in, that we thus ofttimes do our
friends injustice and cause them un-
told pain and sorrow. If we cannot
forgive trespasses, how can we expect
forgiveness.
True friendship is to be valued
above stocks and bonds, gold or silver.

ROOSEVELT IN THE WEST.
n. p. Garrison Describes His Stand
ing With the People.

r.. p. CIarkson Describes His Stand-
ing with the People.
Theodore Roosevelt has the affection
Of the people of the Western states.
Each step in his career is watched and
followed with a depth Of interest only
accorded those who have g. liked place
in our hearts. In thus establishing
himself with the Western people. in his
life in the West and as a leader of the
Rough Riders during the war with
Spain, he came into what was his own.
He has within him the qualities which
are possessed and admired in the
rugged West, and he has them in such
q degree as to naturally make him a
leader loved Of all.
Roosevelt is a man of action. He is
direct, honest and courageous. He is
practical and resourceful, and proves
himself the master of every situation
in which he is placed. With intelligent
and well directed effort he surmounts
every obstacle barring the way to
achievement of desired ends. And
withal he does not stoop or cringe, but,
respecting others, he compels respect
for himself. OF such stuff are made the
men who have advanced the West to
its present position of power and In
f1uence. These qualities in combina-
ton have wrought the greatness of the
West, have brought material wealth
and prosperity to it's homes, n made
its voice a controlling power in he
halls Of national council and legislation.
Theodore Roosevelt cannot rest on
duty done or laurels won. With him
life is not lived until the last day is
done. Accomplishment only invites to
preparation for other fields of useful
ness. This is the best Western spirit.
It is the spirit that is building our
cities, laying our railroads, sinking
mines in our mountains. and reaping
and marketing our great harvests.
Theodore Roosevelt is not alone popu-
liar in the West for what he has done.
but he is popular for what he is and
for what he will do, for the uncon-
querable spirit that stirs and moves
within him.
Since the Spanish war Roosevelt has
moved steadily forward in a new field
OF CIVIC dulieS. Dy MS du-
ministration of the affairs of the State
of New York he has increased his fame
as a well rounded statesman. The boys
whom he led up San Juan Hill are
watching his course with affectionate
pride. They and their fathers and
brothers and friends are for him for
vice president. just as they would he
for him for president were he running
for that office of mans highest amhi-
ton. He has demonstrates his capacity
and they know him thoroughly. so their
hats are off for him.-P. P. Clarkson,

E-r.rE a
About the only argument that is
made against the republican nominees
for county offices in some cases is that
they have held the offices too long.
In the east, where county affairs are
conducted purely on a business basis,
clerical oficers-those who have mere
ly clerical work to do, as in the case
of county auditors and similar Off
Gals, are retained in position year
after year because they prove them
selves worthy, and valuable men for
the county. They know every detail
of the work to be done and the peo-
pie of the county are never embar-
raised by the failure of the auditor to
attend to Some detail. Good public
servants should be retained in office.
Auditor Moorhouse in this county has
done the work in such a manner that
his record is above criticism. The
same is true of other offices. Super
