Right and Left Handed.

It is curious to notice the vagaries of humanity ill cases where no hard and fast line has been already drawn. Al. though most right handed persons put on their coats left arm first, consid- erable percentage thrust in the right first. Soldiers fire from the right shoulder, but sportsmen are found whc prefer the left. In working with a { l3ade proportion of right handed {. grasp the spade with the left hA and push with the left foot and rigA hand, though when using an ax the same individuals would grasp farthest down with the right.-Cham hers' Journal

BUYING OF IRON GOES STEADILY ON No Orders of Unusual Size
 Are Placed SOUTHERN PRICES FIRM Some of the Largest Producers Are Now Out of the Market, Which
 Is Strong at
 $12.5o.
SOUTHERN PRICES FIRM

Cleveland, O., October 4.-lSpecial.)- )-The
 Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say: Buying has continued steadily during the past week. giving ample evidence of general prosperity in the iron and steel business, but the period has not been
 characterized by the placing of orders or unusual size or importance. Among con servative interests there Is growing feeling that, if these Is any danger In | the present situation 1t lies in the ten- I dency to advance prices too rapidly' es- peclally for raw materials
 Pig iron prices in the south are firm and tending upward. While some iron was sold late last week at Birmingham
 at SIP to SIP. .25 for No. ?, some of the largest producers are out of the mar ket, which is now strong at s12.5O. since the recent sales of Bessemer were made
 to the Steel corporation at $15, two lead ing sellers have withdrawn from the mar
 ket with the expectation that s15.5O will
 prevail when they are again ready to enter Quotations on foundry iron in the central west show an increasing tend
 ency to name prohibitev prices for next years delivery.
 A new system of making sales of tin plate has been announced by the princi-
 pal producers. Although this system does not make much change in actual prices. it has been received with some surprise. as an advance was rather expected.
 Heavy buying of rails is apparently over fo the present, alahough during the past week a Chicago mill booked or
 ders for 50000 tons, and was compelled to
 decline an order for 50000 additional tons
 on account of inability to give required delivery The American Building com-
 pany has placed an order for 5000 tons of plates at Chicago.

 Secretary, Joseph E. Toms, Indianapolis, Ind.
 Treasurer, Samuel E. Strong, Cleve- land O.
 J. B. Riley of Macon, Ga., was elected second vice president.
 The statement that the health of thous- ands of young women In rural districts is annually impaired for life by drugs which they receive by mall, was made to the wholesale druggists by John C.

RANGERS SEARCH FOR THE FUGITIVE
PURSUERS ARE so WEARY THAT THE CHASE ASSUMES PHASE OF "MAYsE" RATHER THAN I'VE WILL"

Edna, Tex, October 4.-Rangers have now taken the field in the effort to catch Monk Gibson, slayer of the Conditt fam fly. Many of the posse men have come in and abandoned the search. This Is one of the effects of the coming of the ml- litia.
 While there Is no likelihood of any att tack upon the soldiers. some of the people here are doing considerable talking about the soldiers and are apparently trying to cause friction.
 A request was made today that Sheriff Egg permit certain citizens and news paper men to make a search of tho jail to see if the negro were not really there. His answer was that this would not be perrnitted that the negro was not there.
 The sheriff is greatly irritated over the criticism showered upon him, and Is show ing the strain of sleepless nights.
 Others are also in a state of nervous irritableness and this Is about the only thing that promises developments, the negro having apparently gotten away and the search having assumed the phase of maybe rather than we will

WILL CALL NO EXTRA
 SESSION THIS YEAR
The Governor Finally Decides Not to Bring the SoIons
 Together.

Montgomery, October 4-(SpeciaI)- Governor William D. Jelks made th.s statement this afternoon:
 ..There will be no extra session of the legislature this year"
 This announcement came as surprise, for there were many who thought that he had in mind the calling of the session and expected 1t to work out in the af- firmative However 1t is noted that he took particular pains o say that there would be no session this year, which would seem to indicate that there might be next year.
 The Governor first announced his idea of calling an extra session while on his way to Blount Springs last summer. He was seen by a reporter of the Birming- ham Age-Herald and remarked that there might be called a session after the frost falls" few days later he said in a speech at Blount Springs that if called he might ask the body to use the excess cash in the treasury for the benefit of the schools The result has been, how ever, to indefinitely postpone the whole thing.
 It is known that the Governor was so absorbed in the bond matter, so well closed up today, that he was letting the question of the extra session run along for while Otherwise he would no doubt have made known sooner that he had decided not to summon the solons.
 very remarkable thing has developed in the talk of an extra session, and that is that most of the rate regulation advo- cates desired that 1t be not held It was contended that there should be legisla- ton, but when there was talk of having that legislation at once many of the rate men said no, not at this time. Of course there were some who did not take this view, but many did
