viii Abbott who AS has already been
stated has been elected president of the
street car company, said on Wednesday
that the election of himself as president
in no way indicated reorganization,
Col Lemert, having disposed Of his inter
est, resigned, and he was elected in his
stead. With reference to the future of
the road, Pres. Abbott said that 1t WAS
the intention to improve the service, and
when asked II it WAS the intention to
extend to Van Buren, he said there was
no doubt but what the extension would
be made when the company earned suf-
Scient money to construct the bridge.

The Effect of Repetition.

The sound of n door-bell may not call
up much Of a motor response, but re-
peated often may cause very consider
able response A slight tickling when
one is asleep or awake may, If con-
tinued, produce conynlsive responses
TO strike a horse repeatedly on the
same spot is to invite him to kick.
Continued dropping of water from a
fauset during the night, or the inter
mittent sounds of a mouse gnawing,
produce extreme irritability' The
Psychology of advertising shows many
evidences of this law Temptation in
all its forms usually works by the sum
nation Of stimuli. The young man Of
slight moral resistance, on his way
home in the evening, passes through
one, it may be two, streets Of saloons
in the third street his inhibitory power
is exhausted and he passes helplessly
through the doors.
