One Way to Tell.

A courtroom attendant declared
that half the people who run up against
the bulwark of the law cannot tell
their right hand from their left with
out stopping to think about it. Says the
Philadelphia Ledger.
And it is not only people who come
to court who are so puzzled" he said,
but people whom you meet under ordi-
nary circumstances in your own home
and about town. OF course, they really
know which is the right and which is
the left, but if you should come out
with an unexpected request to do some
thing with a particular hand they
would have to stop and figure out which
is which.
Il know several people who have
very queer ways Of determining which
hand they ought to use when a GER
tain one is called for. One man says
that the only way he can find out is
to picture TO himself the way he looked
when kicked over by COW when boy.
He had gone upon the wrong side in
an attempt to milk her. Whereupon she
very promptly sent him flying heels
over head as a punishment for his in
discretion. Every time the subject of
right and left hands is mentioned now.
he instinctively sees the relative pos
ition of his two hands with respect to
that COW, and is thereby enabled to pre-

of the late President McKinleys part
In that convention, says the Indianap-
oils Sentinel.
Mr. Foster with other members OF
Gen. Harrison's cabinet, was at the
White House receiving returns from
the convention. He naturally was anx-
ious that Ohio should cast her votes
in the convention for Harrison, and
was much concerned when a telegram
came announcing that "Ohio casts one
vote for Harrison and forty-five for
Mckinley" Mr.. Foster refused to be-
lieve the news until he had secured
confirmation. then he dictated and had
sent the following telegram to William
Mckinley, who was chairman Of the
Ohio delegation:
please send me name, of Ohio dele
gate who voted for Gen. Harrison.
wish TO wire him congratulations"
The answer soon came back signed
by Mckinley himself:
'The Ohio delegate who voted for
Gen. Harrison was. William McKin-
ley, Jr."
