WHY THEY TALKED HOPEFULLY

All Against the President.
Only one error, according &c the
Philadelphia Medical Journal, can fair

physicians who cared for President
Mckinley. and that error is simply Sne
of prognosis. but, though they 81.
doubtedly made prophecies which were
contradicted by the termination of the

strongly argues that this. If an error

error in the other direction, and is, in.

preciably to the patients chances Of
recovery. we take 1t as a well-es-
tablished fact in practice" explains the
Journal, that a hopeful prognosis is
better than despair in any case and
under any circumstances whatever.
There is a real and genuine asset to be
derived from hope, and the individual
who comes in for the biggest share OF
this asset is the patient. The tristful
or lugubrious doctor who cannot see
some silver lining to the cloud in an
essentially doubtful case should retire.
lie is not in the psychological mood to
avail himself OF all his opportunities. -
II seems to us that these opinions
are sound and reasonable, and they
lend a sort of credulity to a curious
theory which at least few people have
had in mind ever since the president
died. The theory is, in effect. that the
doctors. though thoroughly realizing
the high probability OF death from the
very beginning, deliberately put their
own regulations for knowledge and
foresight IN peril, and assumed and ex-
pressed a confidence which they did
not feel In order to gain for their pa
tient such advantage as might come to

civilized world. The force of psychical
influences is recognized nowadays by

JFFFRIEs AS A HITTER.

Jeffries has not lost his hitting
powers in the least, judging by the
manner he put Joe Kennedy away in a
couple of punches. With Jeff fit and
well II looks as though Gus Rubin has
a tremendous job on his hands in his
prospective battle for the heavyweight
tiIle. Jim Jeffries Is certainly a Won
derful fighter. He is the giant of the
prize ring, and is built in proportion to
his size. His massive frame looks
strong enough to withstand any kind
OF punishment and his two good hands
and arms have strength and force
enough to knock down anything in
human form. II Gus Rubin is the
greatly improved man they say he is,
and JEFF the same Jeffries OF old, the
coming battle at San Francisco should
prove to be the fiercest in the history
OF the prize ring. Rubin will fight
hard from the word go. II will be
Jeff's place to go out and set the pace
and Rubin may be able to make a
strong defense, but after there are a
few mix-ups the real work will begin.
and from that on 1t will be the fight OF
the century.

TURF NOTES.

Frank Jones great PAGER, Little Boy

mile in the remarkably fast time OF
2:02.
Boralma is apparently an overrated
animal. He was considered a remark
ably good youngster before his pur-
chase by Thomas w. Lawson, and has
since been heralded in some quarters
as the coming champion. The chest
nut has had the best OF training and
oversight In the stables of the Boston

good judges are beginning to believe
that the speed limit OF the pretty chest
nut has been nearly reached. and that

A shifter employed by the Lambton
collieries was charged with a breach
Of the colliery rules. which prohibits
taking OF tobacco pipe into the mine.
II was admitted that defendant had
partly smoked cigarette in his pock-
ct, and on behalf OF the prosecution It
was contended that a paper charged
with tobacco was pipe within the
meaning OF the rule. The magistrates
upheld this view, and fined defendant
twenty shillings and costs.

TROUBLES OF root BALL UMPIRE

TROUBLES OF FOOT BALL UMPIRE,
In the development of umpires an
essential thing. probably the essential
thing, is practice at umpring, writes
Phil Allen in the Chicago Record-Her-
aldo. There Is nothing like the SUI
preme confidence man has when "A
dispute comes up on a point which he
has decided ten times before. Coaches
and players and captains may be very
much perturbed and he can stand the
while on the field enjoying the pleas
ure of knowing he is right without
even a reference to his rule book
Every umpire is compelled to make
compromises In his interpretations OF
the rules-not, mind you. to please both
sides, but in order to keep the game
going as a spectacle. There are many
unintentional violations of the rules on
the part OF eager players. My own
idea is that unintentional violations
should not be penalized except in cases
where they count in the progress Of the
ball. ] think IL is only common sense
to enforce the rules according to their
spirit, rather than by their exact letter.
By the latter method an umpire could
penalize any team on almost every
play.

THE CHAMPION WING SHOT.
Capt Bogardus Has Dangerous EXperi-
ence but Comes Out Unhurt.


Ferris Wheel Park, Chicago. Nov.
4th.-Capt. A. II. Bogardus. the cham
pion wing shot of the world, has spent
the summer here. His shooting school
has been one OF the features of the
Park during the season. He has CIV
en- many exhibitions and his skill with
the rifle is superb.
The Captain tells of a very close
call he once had when liv ng at Elk
hart, Ill. He had been a suffa from
Kidney disease for several years and
II rapidly developed into Bright's Dis
ease. All his friends told him that
this was incurable and that he would
never get better.
To say that he was alarmed is to
put 1t very mildly. This plucky man
had faced many dangers and 1t made
him sick at heart TO think that at
last he was to be conquered by such
a cruel foe.
At last he heard OF a medicine that
had cured many such cases-Dodd's
Kidney Pills. He used them and was
completely restored TO good health.
He says: Il attribute my present
good health to Dodd's Kidney Pills
and to nothing else"

CAUSE OF LEFT-HANDEDNEss.
An Anatomical Explanation for Ths
Quality In the Eyes.

II is a well-known fact the stronger
activity of the nerves of the right hall
of the body (for not only the hand is
concerned) must be ascribed to a pre-
ponderance of the left side of the
brain, whose finer development, espe-
cially as the seat of the center OF
speech is a matter of common knowl.
edge In a paper by Dr. Luddeckens
in the Algemeines Journal der Uhr.
macherkunst valuable information re-
garding the two hemisphores of the
brain Is furnished. A sketch touch
ing on the history of evolution leads
from the original symmetry OF the
organism to a subsequent symmetrical
arrangement of the heart and the large
blood vessels, from which II follows
quite naturally that the two halves OF
the head are not placed on an equal
footing as regards the distribution OF
the blood. and consequently of the
blood pressure; and that, on the con-
trary. there must be. under normal
conditions, a strong pressure on the
arteries of the left side OF the head.
This theory is borne out by we'll
known experience of anatomists and
pathologists says the London Express,
and series of interesting observa-
tions. OF especial interest is the ef-
feet of the higher blood pressure upon
the left eye. DR.. Luddeckens found in
the latter, as compared with the right
one, in a surprisingly large number OF
cases, a narrow pupil in consequence
of a more filled-up condition of the
vessels of the iris and upon closer ex'
animation shorter construction OF
the eyeball. This furnishes reason fol
the fact that In a large number OF
persons the left eye is the better one
Thus the finer development of the left
half OF the brain is explained very
simply by the fact that it is better sup
piled with blood, and the question why
IL is the seat of the center of speech
and why most people are right-handed
is solved in the most natural manner

ESKIMO FOOT BALL PLAYER.

The only Eskimo football player in
existence is Nikifer Shouchuk, who is
a candidate for a position on the Car
Isle Indian eleven. Mr.. Shouchuk was
brought from his home in far-off Alas
ka last July. He is regarded as foot
ball player of approved pattern at Car
Isle. In the first game he ever saw on
the gridiTon he donned his football
togs and charged through the opposing
line with all the charming abandon
ment and confidence of Rocky Noun
tain sheep. Nikifer is the first Eskimo
to attend school in the United States
so far as is known. He is i9 years old
and has all the pristine powerfulness
that is born of the wilderness in which
he first saw daylight, and the last two
years, which have been spent by him
as assistant steward on one OF sle
coast steamers, have added some OF the
graces of civilization to his birthright
He has the ideal build of football
player, weighs 10 pounds, is feet
inches tall and very strong besides.
Those who have seen him admit that
Nikifer will never take a prize in a
beauty show. But this doesn't inter
fere with his football abilities In the
least His countenance is peculiarly
well adapted to the harsh exigencies of
the CORY gridiron. He is not afraid of
having his good looks injured. He has
led rather strenuous life. His parents
died when the boy was very young and
