vision that the decision of the com

weight. There has never been any
doubt I'm the mind OF The Post that
this is the true policy, nor that in the
end it will rebound, not only to the
interest of the people as whole but
for the railroads also, by ending an
agitation which politicians are prone
to precipitate for their own behoof

One of the graveSt objections to train
ing a child to be left handed is the GER
tainty that it will be nicknamed from
its popularity, especially during the
early years Of life Most counties in
England have their idiomatic express
sions to denote left handedness, and
they are often prehXed TO the unfortu-
nate left banded childs name. In Lon
don the term is kack handed. the word
being also equivalent to awkward. In
Lancashire it Is k-pawed, in Yorkshire
gallock or gawk handed, an expression
dating back to at least the seventeenth
century In Derbyshre are used the
terms keg handed. cork handed and
corky handed, while in the Teesdah
district cuddy handed is common and
In Nottinghamshire wallet handed.
In the south of England Spt eial terms
TO denote left handedness are also
found. In Dorset il IS scramc handed.
and in Devonshire coochy handed. In
scotland we find gawk handed. and in
the west cawry handed. In Ireland a
left handed man is called a kithogr
Mr.. Tim Healy used this word in
speech at East Wicklow, in which he
said that NJ. O'Kelly could fight with
his left hand ana had already given
