cussed in the East what they call this
evil.''
"How often" said noted NJ. D. "does
one hear fond mother saying right
hand dear to child, who puts out
left hand for holding spoon. Many
wise doctors now advise mothers to per-
nit a child to use either hand without
any preference"
Sir Thomas Sawyer, a noted English
physician, has probably hit upon the
most plausible reason for the righthand-
edness of the human race.
In a recent article on the subject he
says:
I'm the early days, when those might
take who had the power and those might
keep who could, we We're a fighting
neople. and a people who fought hand
to hand.
Naturally, in this kind Of fighting
it is most convenient to WELD weapon
which can be usel by one hand only,
leaving the other hand and arm free
for preserving balance, for defensive
covering, and for offensive Selling.
ut is quite natural that these people
would use the right hand in preference
to the left for welding weapon, in
order that the heart might be kept as
far away as possible from the assault of
an adversary.
Hence, righthandedness developed
and was passed on from father to son
through generations.
Moreover when men fought together
in companies, they must have found it
| more convenient to handle their weapons
in uniform way.
If some in a fighting company were
| right handed and others were left hand

| clashing.
whether drilling or fighting, the men
would need more space for welding their
| weapons.
IF, on the other hand, each man used
| his sword or his spear with the same
hand as his neighbor, confusion would be
minimized and a symmetrical appear
ance would be given to the martial body"
| Another writer, in dealing with the
subject. says that the early custom and
convenience have had most to do with
the preferential use of the right hand.
! This is proven by the fact that in time
any one can train his left hand to be as
| clever as his right.
| There are thousands of cases where
young and old men have, through acct
dent or otherwise. lost the right arm
and have by patient practice learned how
, to write and perform everything else
necessary equally as well with the left
hand as with the right before their mis-
fortune.
The left hand Is habitually given equal
right with the right and often is
given the preference.
The best Illustration of this fact is
given by woman knitting. She gives
! each hand an equal share of the work
ard il one will watch her work it will be
noticed that she is equally skilled with
each

Since learning that the REPORTER
is concerned lest we have laid up a
club for ourSelf we have been feeling
somewhat ner sOuS and have concluded
it might be wise to hedge a little by
explaining that We meant the prOle-
tariat among SpOrtSmen from the
point of view of those fellows who go
forth to do death unto the beautiful
and harmless creatures with which
the Creator has peOpled the forests
and tieldS-armed with the most up
tO-date weapons and accessories and
with a garment made out of old
pockets, in one of which repoSeS a
vessel containing liquid preparati ton
for removing cObwebS from the throat
The other fellows of whom the writer
speaks are those who sneak out the
back way armed with an old army
muSket or some other equally dis
reputable piece of artillery, with a
couple of handsful of loose shot in one
pocket, an eight-ounce bottle of blast
ing powder in another and a couple of
old REPORTERS for wadding. Will
this save our bald head? Prophetic
ally speaking. it probably would if

VIM. Ledger has commenced suit

The sheriff was in town few days
ago and we will wager that he fancied
from our conduct while he was in town
that we were nice lot of people,
Seems as if that don't sound just
right but it's too late now. Wonder
if we will have to do some more ex-
planning.

NEW ROME.

AS the pastor Of Strongs Prairie, in
charge of the Methodist Episcopal
church, has six preaching places he
held memorial services for the
deceased president on Sunday, the
9th of Sept. and on Sunday, the 18th
Of Sept, in all those places. AS we
approached Barnum school house,
where services were held at 2:30 p. m.
on the Goth, we found the door draped
in mourning. Upon entering we found
the table covered with a pure white
cloth bordered with black. Two very
large pictures of VIM. Mckinley, one
above the other both draped in black
and mounted by two flags each, in the
most tasteful manner, all the work of
the young ladies of the place. An
organ also was brought and draped in
black, bows of white at proper inter
walls and lunches of flowers in
appropriate places; the black, as we
thought, emblematicai of death, the
white, in lovely contrast. emblema-
tical of the pure life beyond, the
flowers, short lived, forcibly indicating
the decay of the body, their beauty
indicating in part at least the beauties
of heaven. We desiSt from deScrip-
tiOn full of sorrow for our martyered
president, now in peace, and the
fruition of hope. The Organist and
quartette performed their part we'll

pirate and pathetic pieces, in every
case we'll rendered. OUR PASTOR.

Question Answered,

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers' never thought of using
anything else for indigestion or
biliOusness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of appendicitis,
nervous prOstration or beart failure,
etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fermen-
tation of undigested food, regulate the
action of the liver, stimulate the
nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches
and other aches. You only need a
few doses of Green's August Flower
in liquid form, to make you satisfied
there is nothing serious the matter
with you. Get Green's Prize Almanac
