Applied the Lesson.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
A Philadelphia school mistress was Civ
ing her pupils instruction in the elements
of physiology, and among other things
told them that whenever they moved an
arm or a leg it was in response to a mes
sage from the brain. 1.-The brain always
sends message to your arm or your
leg whenever you wish to move the par
ticular member she explained.
At last a mischievous boy aroused her
anger by his apparent inattention to the
lesson.
Hold out your hand!" she exclaimed.
The boy did not move.
.'Why don't you hold out your hand?'
said the teacher.
I'm waiting for the message from my
BRAIN" the lad replied.

CRITICISM IN PLACE OF WORK
SINIIIOISh IN IIf1NI OI WINK
Regarding the Appointment of MaiOl
Robbins Successor.

A few days ago when General Lo-
max of Virginia was appointed to
succeed Major Robbins on the Gettys-
burg BATTLE-GROUND commission. there
were those among us who were rath-
er SHARP in their criticism Of our two
senator's. Messrs. Simmons and Over
man. for not getting on the ground
sooner and urging the appointment of
a North Carolinian to that position.
The News and Observer. always
doing some "great public service" had
a good deal to say about the failure
to get after the place quick. and the
criticism against Senator Overman was
perhaps the sharpest. and. under the
circumstances. altogether uncalled for.
The editor of The News and Observ-
err is the democratic national commit
teemaE from this state.
Collector E. G. INC is the reDub-
lican national committeeman.
What were thev doing to bring the
appointment to the state?
MI. Duncan was in WASHINGTON urg-
ing the appointment Of a North Caro-
linian.
Mr.. Daniels was in Raleigh waiting
to criticise others for not doing the
very thing that he ought to have done
himself.
1t would perhaps have Tor no good
had both the senators with the editor
of The News and Observer at their
elbows. been in WASHINGTON even be-
fore the clods had ceased to rattle on
the burial case of Major Robbins. as
the presence of Mr.. Duncan there had
no effect. but it would have looked
better for the aforesaid editor to put
forth an effort to help. rather thar
wait for a chance to criticise.--Ra-

HITCH IN THE %JUDGEsHIP.

There is a hitch about Senator Nc
securing MS long coveted judge
ship. Judge Morris, of the u of ap-
peals of the District of Columbia, ar
nounced in a letter to the president
that he intended retiring from Tile
bench. Immediately it was given oct
from the White house that Senator Nc
Comas would succeed him. When Jadge
Morris heard this he reconsidered his
intention to retire and announced that
he had not resigned and did not intend
To do so. This seems TO have created
something of a stir at the White
house. The attorney general was sen.
for to hold a consultation with the
president on the unfortunate complica-
tons. On leaving he stated that Judge
Morris did say he intended TO resign
and Senator McComas will be his sue
cessor." Judge Morris seems 20 be
one of the man: republicans who 90
not want TO see Mr.. McComas succeed
in getting on the bench. The latter
has for several years been urging tie
passage by congress Of a certain bill
for creating an additional judgeship in
his circuit, and it has been openly stat
ed in the press and i~nsinuated on the
floor of the senate during the debate
that the senator advocated the measure
because he thought he would get tie
appointment were the office created
He has lost an opportunity, it now
seems, of getting on the bench Of tht
District of Columbia court Of appea,:
by the premature announcement o
the president that he would name tn
senator as Judge Morris successor. A
to the attorney generals statemen
that Mr.. McComas would succeed IN
present incumbent, that is lot yer,
much consolation for the man who
so anxious to get on the bench. Their
is no way of forcing Judge Morris t
resign. Mr.. McComas must await hi
i pleasure.
