The large number Of Montgom-
cry people who left yesterday for
the West to grow up with it, is ev-
idence of energy and determination
to gain much of the earth. This
going West is due to the advertis-
ing of Western productions. The
same push for Kentucky would
bring just as much our way. No
country is richer than the noun

COminu to DemOlratlc Plan.

The report of the minority mem
bers of the House Judiciary Com
mittee on the Antitrust Bill urges
that the President be given the
power to remove the tariff from
trust-made wares, whenever, in his
Judgment, it is better for the well
fare of the people. The repeal of
the tariff on necessities controlled
by trusts is also urged.

BOwen's Plan Favored By Ambas-
sailors. Who Await InstruC-

A Washington dispatch of Feb.
lst, says: 1t did not take Baron
Sternberg long to discover that the
Venezuelan situation is much more
serious than it was when he left
Berlin. The Baron's knowledge of
American ways and his friendly
relations with high officials enabled
him to quickly discern the drift of
public sentiment and ascertain the
feeling of the Administration.
There were convincing indica-
ton that this country is preparing
for any development in strained
situation. From his talks with the
President and others, the Baron
learned that this Government is
getting ready sharply to call both
Germany and England to a halt.
The result of Baron Sternberg' S
inquiries caused him to declare in
favor of Mr.. Bowen's offer of a
guarantee for the settlement of the
claims of all countries on an equal

Mt. Sterling is such a great bust
ness point is that the leading mes-
chants use the printers ink and
have everything the very best that
can be had to back their advertise

Not So Very Weak.

The train was on windy pass in the
Rockies. There were In the car q few
miners, two cowboys, woman, who
looked Ill, and a man clothed in very
British tweeds. He was evidently used
to roughing 1t and sat beside the open
window Indifferent to the cold air that
swirled into the car.
Behind him sat the woman, SILVER
ing. Across the aisle was large
boned westerner. He did not seem to
mind the wind himself, but he gave a
kind, sollcitous glance toward the wo-
man.
After an hour of shivering she leaned
forward and asked the man. in front of
her to close the window. He paid no
attention to her request, except that he
looked straight ahead and said, adj
dressing himself to the world at large,
Americans seem to be a weak lot"
Then the tall man across the aisle
rose slowly. His head came just under
the bell cord. He reached across the
tweed suit. pushed the owner of it
rather rudely into the corner of the
seat, laid hold of the window catch
with his big thumb and finger and sent
the window down with slam.
81 guess we ain'tso very weak, pard-
ner," he said.

LEFT HANDED WlCKEDNESS

Results of an Unusual investigation
by Professor LombrOsO.
Professor Cesare Lombroso, the Ital-
ian scientist skilled in detecting traces
of abnormality, explains in the North
American Review the imperfectlons Of
the left handed.
People who are more agile with the
left than with the right hand iEb most
numerous among women, children,
savages and criminals" The percent
age is about 4 per cent among men
Operatives and soldiers), 5 to 8 per
cent among women and about the
same among lunatics.
But among criminals Professor Mar
70 found 10 per cent of the men and %
per cent of the women left handed
Swindlers offered greater percentage,
no less than 80, and murderers and
ravishers only from 8 to 10 per cent.
Professor Lombroso also discusses
the far more complex subject of left
sidedness." Certain people are more
sensitive upon the left side than upon
the right. This condition has no con-
nection with left handedness and is
highest in lunatics A per cent.
Parrots are left handed, and so are
lions. Rollet found in twenty-seven
monkeys the left shoulder heavier than
the right.
Women, children and primitive races
make gestures and simple movements
from right to left. This is why wom-
en- button their garments In a different
direction from men and why early
languages, like the Arabic, are writ
ten from right to left. Very old chro-
nometers were wound from right to
left not from left to right, as at pres
ent.
However, Professor Lombroso hedges
by saying: Zone can without difficulty
find among good men real left handed
ness, as among the greatest evildoers
there are some who have not that char
acteristic. / do not dream at all Of say
ing that all left handed people are wick
ed, but that left handedness, united to
many other traits, may contribute to
form one of the worst characters
among the human Species"

A WONDERFUL INSECT.
Gas Companies Not Wanted Where
the CucuiO ElOurishes,


the CucujO FlOurishes.
Have you ever heard of the cucujo?
If you are one of those unfortunates
who are in the habit of grumbling at
gas bills you will wish that the place
was swarming with cucujos, so that
the gas companies might be circum-
vented. The cucujo is the freely of the
tropics, and it is the most brilliant of
the whole tribe of light giving insects
or animals Thlrty-eight of them yield
one candle power.
Photographs have been printed by
two minute exposure of bromide plates
to their illumination. People in Cuba
copfne them in paper lanterns for 60
ing. about the country at night or for
indoor lighting. Sometimes they at
tach one of the insects to each foot for
travelling in the dark to serve as a
guide to the path; also they use them
as ornaments for the dress and hair.
Cucujos are beetles beginning life as
grubs. Skipjacks or springtails they
are sometimes called because when
placed on their backs they jump over
with a clicking sound.
A small species of the same family
is found in Florida and Texus. They
have two luminous spots on the thorax
and another on the abdomen. Damp
evenings are most favorable to the light
giving, the object of which is presuma-
bly, to attract mate. The young lar
vR feed largely on snails, to which
their bite is poisonous. The luminous
organs are developed before the insects
leave the eggs.
Now, theory formerly held was that
these firetiies stored up light in the
daytime for emission at night, as is
done by the so called luminous paint
of calcium sulphide. But it was found
that they shone as. brightly as ever
after being confined for ten days in
darkness. Some that were carried
from Cuba to Havre in the pitch black
hold of q vessel were brilliant on their
arrival.
A more striking disproof, however,
was afforded by a batch of larv@
Matched in the dark from eggs laid In
the dark on piece of rotten wood, the
young insects being kept in darkness
for the first six months of their lives.
They shone as brilliantly as any Of the
other firefies.-Golden Penny.

mankind. They must and will be
thrust aside or absorbed.
Fate is double-fisted, gloved in vel
vet to fondle the tractable and in
steel to smite the recalcitrant.
True, our nation was founded on a
protest against the insolence of es-
tablished power.
The fathers, sought asylum in
bleak New England that they might
reverse the relations of Might and
Right. But the same old seed was
in them. The instant they found
that killing Indians and taking their
lands were easy and profitable they
went at it. We have made short
shrift of the removal of once
mighty race.
And our appetite for blood is whet-
ted keen. Now it is being satiated
in the Philippines. But that feast
cannot last forever.
When the fate of the Indian has
been duplicated in the fate of the last
intractable Filipino, progress will
turn elsewhere-its Juggernaut will
find more bones to crush.
Then the weaker races of the
American continent may look out
indeed. All world history is a warn
ing to them to prepare for tire inevita'
Bile. 1t is fate.

MIGHT Is BOUND TO PRE-
VAIL,

Little Colombia has made a bluff
at warning the United States that
our interference on the isthmus may
mean bloody war. 1t is for Colom-
bia to say.
Ifshe must plant herself in the
path of the worlds progress, she may
cause a little jolt and n little grind
ing for while, but the ultimate re-
suit cannot for moment be in doubt.
1t is another case Of the bull and
the locomotive.
The history of mankind in all its
evolution from the cannibalistic ami
nal to the civilized being of today
has been serial story of successive
triumphs of the strong over the weak.
And what has been true in indi-
vidual ascendancy of man has been
alike true in the ascendancy of tribes
and nations and races.
The road over which mankind has
made its onward march is soaked
with human blood and Uttered with
human skeletons.
In all the history of the world
there is no precedent to justify II
doubt that our own nation will adj
vance over a highway paved with
crushed weaker powers.
The time must come when not only
little Colombia but all of South
America, and Canada as well, will
be under the domination of the supe-
rior intelligence and energy of the
people of the United States.
It may not come in our time, or in
our children's time. But it is inevi-
table. Might is bound to prevail.
If Colombia puts chip on her
shoulder now and dares us to knock
it off, we will probably knock off her
head with it.
1t might hasten matters little,
but, after all, it would be only step
that some time or other, in some way
or other, is bound to be taken any
way.
Colombia may rail and resist, or
smile and submit-it will be all the
same in the ultimate destiny.
The Latin races have neither the
intelligence nor the integrity to keep
the development of their territories
in line with the worlds development
and political progress.
In their incapacity they stand in
the way of the higher happiness of

Christmas Carol.

There's a song in the air
There's star In the sky!
There's mothers deep prayer
And baby's low cry
And the star rains its fire while the beau
tiful sing
For the manager of Bethlehem cradles a
kingl
In the light Of that star
Lie the ages impearled;
And the song from afar
Has swept over the world.
Every heart is aflame, and the beautiful
sing
In the homes of the ration that Jesus is
King.
We rejoice in the light,
And we echo the song
That comes down through the night
From the heavenly throng.
Ay! We shout to the lovely evangel
they bring,
And we greet In His cradle our Savior
and King. j. G. Holland.

their full and continued benefits are to
be expected
All hay crops are chiefly mineral con-
sumers. They exhaust the soil of min
eral foods first, and the maintaining of
fertility is most dependent on keeping
up the supply of phosphoric acid and
potash In the soil.
fair hay crop of crab-grass will re-
move from an acre OF land about twenty
pounds of phosphoric acid, forty of nitro
gen and fifty OF potash. The equivalent
of these materials thus removed would
be restored to the soil in the form of l75
pounds Of acid phosphate, 525 pounds of
cottonseed meal and 100 pounds of mu-
riate of potash. Continued hay-sel ing
can only be practiced from any land,
without its exhaustion, by resorting to
some of these methods for making good

Oh, Bethlehem Oh, Bethlehem The
splendor Of thy Star

To kneel In homage at the crib where
smiled the Babe Divine,
Whose smile along the centuries out
shineth all that shine.
Thy Star, oh, Bethlehem now sheds It's

And 'whelming seas of sin that rise

And calm, serene, above the clouds thy

"Peace to men on earth,
That peace expectant long f0retoid at

We see the lowly shepherds that forsake
their floeks to gaze
With awe and alteration upon him the

Upon Him the mildest shepherd that will
e'er hold staff to guide
His flock from ever straying toward sins
mirage spreading wide,
From pitfalls where there lurketh foes
that from the sunlight fee,
His voice like music pleading ever,
"Come abide with Me-.
Aye, tho ninety mine be folded and shell

Within the tender shepherds fold from
fierce temptations storm,
And one poor lonely wanderer, bereft,

That Shepherd Good goes forth to seek
and succor tenderly.
All! little dream they, kneeling there,
the shepherd and the king,
That all the heavenly host draw near
from Gods white throne and sing
Hosannas In rejoicing sweet, for man
redemption near,
When Babe Divine as Man Divine full
statured shall appear.
That millions yet unborn in the untrav-
ersed wilderness,
In frozen zones, on torrid seas, His name
shall ever bless;
And the grotto where companioned with
beasts he sleeps In peace
Shall be earth's proudest temple until
Time It's records cease
That for us for all eternity the stigma OF

Shall be abiding witness Of mans gain
and greatest loss;
And sitting by the right hand OF His

Will ever plead for mercy, and repenting

Swells UP from hill and valley, and is

And all the sin eneumbored earth
