Clark moved to amend the resolu-
ton to include the name of Hon.
r. L. Gregory for the Senate from
the new second Senatorial district
This amendment developed the
opposition. 0. w. O. Hardman
opposed the amendment on the
ground that these gentlemen, Pyle
and Gregory should each stand on
their respective merit. The amend
ment was withdrawn and the Pyle
resolution went through all 0. K.
Mr.. Clark now offered resolution
instructing for Gregory, which was
supported by Clark and Hon. ]. S.
Roberts and Gregory spoke also In
his own behalf. The resolution
drew the fire of Hartman and
Chairman Strickling In opposition
and Hon. Ben Meighen spoke In
behalf of Marshall county being
entitled to the Senator &c. During
the debate on this resolution, things
personal were said and Gregory ais
tributed printed copies OF certain
letters written by O. W. 0. Hard
man to Gregory during the cam.
paign of 1898. This added fuel to
the blaze and the personalities be-
tween Hardman and Gregory be

two nights in the week for another
three months, and then with increas-
Ing frequency, until last month a
bed, with sheets, rug and pillow, is

How many Of our readers have ever
heard Of the railway across the 18th
mus Of Tehuantepec? And yet here
is a railway across the narrowest part
Of Mexico which is preparing to enter
the competition for the great east and
west trade Of the world.
The road traverses what was one OF
the original caravan routes across the
continent The far-seeing Cortez may
be said TO have been it's original pro-
jector, though he lived long before the
day OF locomotives, which are now
drawing daily passenger train across

$50 miles long. from CoatzacoaIcos on
the Gulf Of Mexico to SaIiua Cruz on
the Pacific It's highest point is only
$50 feet above the sea level. The eli
mate is tropical but healthy. It was
originally proposed TO construct a ship
railway across the continent al this
place. but the plan was abandoned in
favor Of the ordinary railway.

USING BOTH HANDS ALIKE.
Some Advantages TO be Gained by Be

coming Ambldextrous.
The question should ambidexterity
be encouraged is answered in the mega
tive by writer in the American Jour
nal Of Insanity, and upon the ground
that, while coarse movements may be
performed nearly as well by one-half
OF the body as by the other, accurate
and expert movements require a high
er organization Of one-half OF the brain
than the other. Hence the more ex-
pert hand should be consciously still
more and more specialized; making
the ordinary quiescent half Of the
brain assume control tends. it is said,
to impair the mental processes as well
as inferiority OF physiOlOgic speed and
dexterity. All OF which we deny, both
fact and theory being untrue. The
writer has doubtless been misled by
observation Of the function Of speech,
which is single, and in execution re-
quires the control Of single center.
We have but one voice. but We have
two hands which in many cases at
different instants may be out in action
with the same dexterity. Many sur
geons can operate equally well with
either hand, and We have seen men
who could write as well with the one
hand as with the other. The critic
OF ambidexterity may reply that this
is impossible with synchronous move
ments. forgetting that in the musician.
and especially in the pianist. there is
the most marvellous expertness Of bohh
hands executing most complicated and
entirely different functions. and az the
same instant The arguments against
amibdexterity appear not only iucon-
elusive, but are squareIy cOntadicJed
by facts. Surely also they are against
a desirable freedom OF the mind.
without the musicians ambideZterity
life would be deprived of much charm

trical story Of General Lees proffer of
his sword to General Grant after the
surrender at AppOmatOx and the lat
ter's chilvalrous declination of it. Re
Gently Mrs. Jefferson Davis started the
story afresh and gave it a new lease
OF life in printed sketch in which she
says General Lee offered his sword TO
General Grant when he surrendered
and the latter did not keep it as a
trophy but respectfully returned it to
the hand which had made its fame as
deathleSs as that of Exculibur."
But General Grant himself settled
this matter beyond all dispute. In his
memoirs he says: NO conversation
not a word-passed between General
Lee and myself. either about private
property. side arms, or kindred sub
