A man who is proud to work.

Shall come at the needed hour.
He shall silence the din and clamor

Shall triumph through the man.

No convincing proof has yet been
given that any particular portion of the
brain is exclusively concerned in intel
lectual operations. Goltz the most
prominent representative of the dwin-
ding band who still refuse to believe
in the localzation even of the motor
functions, has lately published an inter
esting paper containing the results Of
observations on a monkey, which was
carefully watched for eleven years
after the removal of the greater part
of the gray matter of the middle and
interior portions of the left hemisphere
of the brain. The character of the ami
NAL, whose little tricks and peculiarl-
ties had been studied for months before
the operation, was entirely unaffected.
All Its traits remained unaltered. On
the other hand disturbances of move
ment on the right side were very notice
able up to the time of its death. 1t

but there was always certain clumsi-
ness In their movements. In actions re-
quiring only one hand the right was
never willingly employed, and 1t evil

use it. Before the operation it would
give either the right or left hand when
asked for 1t. After the operation it al
ways gave the left till by long course

Wells, of Denver, who Is at the Savoy.
"When Walker was remaking a mile
or so of river front In Denver that he
later turned into fine park sudden
rise of the Platte washed away a lot of
things, including the ground from un-
der stable on the improvement Walk
er was making. When Walker came
on the scene to look over the damage
done horse that had been In the stable
was half submerged and In danger Of
being smothered In the quicksand and
rolling mud that the angry waters
made of the half-prepared new ground.
Walker asked several men to go and
help the horse. When they refused he
started laying planks along the treach-
erous ground, just as they do to get
drowning persons from out an Icy river.
In short time he was In a position
where a false step meant an even
chance for life or death. He got both
the horse and himself out of the scrape.
Then he turned around and discharged
every man on the job, and wound up
by giving the horse away."-New York
