NEEDS A HALL
Steps Should be Taken Immediately to Erect
a Suitable Structure for Public Gather
uags and Amusenents.

The need of hall is becoming more
apparent as the days roll by to keep
alive the social spark of the town.
The proposition has been advanced to
erect temporary hall until suchatime
when good substantial hall can be
erected that will accommodate all
patrons of the dances and shows that
frequently give exhibitions during the
summer and fall months. The idea is
to build a substantial floor with an
ordinary frame covering of rough
boards, and to remove the harness of

Miss Ida Pettegrew has petition

appointment of Post Mistress of Gard

having accepted position with the
Hickey company, had to give up the
office at this place. The Department
will make no mistake by giving the
appointment to Miss Pettegrew, as
her work has always been up to the

cheap papering. A hall Of this kind
would be ample for all social gather
ings for the time at least, and as sum-
mer is coming on the matter of heat
ing the building need be given no
consideration. A first class hall will
be put up as soon as the parties having
the matter under consideration can
get around to it, A hall of some
kind is needed and as the year goes
on its need will be more apparent,
especially during the summer months.

THE BEST OF ALL MEDICINES
Wonderful Restorative Force in AS
pect of CheerfuIness.

poet OT STCCIIuiuSSSs
There is great restorative force in
cheerfulness. 1t is sovereign Ieme-
dy. The physician who can inspire
expectancy of something better to
come, who can give you confidence in
your power to overcome disease, and
can make you feel that it is shame
for a man made to do great work in
the world to be ailirg, has very little
use for drugs. Sick people do nnt re-
alize how much their faith and conf
dence in physician have to do with
their cure. If he is cheerful, happy,
hopeful, they feel buoyed UP, sustain
ed by his very presence. They feel
the thrill of his splendid vitality, and
gather strength from his courage.
They catch the contagion of his cheer
fulness and reflect his moods and con-
dition. Invalids who have dragged
along in misery for years have been
suddenly, as if by magic, lifted out of
their bondage by the cheer and en-
enlargement which have come from
some unexpected good fortune. This
shows us how dependent the body is
| upon the mind, how it sympathiZes
with 1t and takes on its colorings
which are represented in the different
| functions.-O. S. Marden in Success
Magazine.

RACIAL SUPERIORITY AND INFE-
RIORITY.


speaking, as an inferior race" that
is, race that is and must always
remain inferior by reason of natural
limitations, is the contention of Prof.
NJ Colajanni, who holds the chair OF
statistics in the University OF Naples.
In recently published volume, enti-
tied "Latins and Anglo-Saxons; SUI
perior and Inferior Races he sets out
to destroy what he regards as the
myth of pretended superior races.
That one race may be and often is
superior to another at given period,
he freely acknowledges; but he points
out that their positions may be re-
versed in the following century, and
that without infusion of new blood or
other clearly traceable cause. Besides
this, national and racial boundaries
everywhere cross each other nova
days. Says a reviewer of the book in
Cosmos paris, October u:
"Well-known authors have Wanted
the superiority of the Anglo-Saxons,
and it has even been the fashion
among the Latin races to blacken
their own characters and to see no
good qualities and no future success
anywhere but among their neighbors
and rivals.
But, in the first place, in what does
the superiority of a race consist? And
even If there were originally noble
races. dare we assert that at the pres
ent moment there exists nation that
has sprung from single race? Every
where ethnic characters are mixed
and fused; the national sentiment, the

thropologists, and sometimes even
contradicts them in peremptory 1asn'
ion; the shapes of the skull, the ng,
ure, the color of the skin, halr anu
eyes may differ, while the feelngs
thoughts and acts remain the same.
1T is not, therefore, in ethnic fac
tors. but in the physical, moral and
social constitution that we must looR
for the causes of a nations greatness
or decadence. The author, among the
Latin races, notes only his own, ano
compares modern Italy with England
Germany and the United States; bu'
he extends his investigation back lnte
the historic past and shows in gen
eral way that the superiority and infe
riority of races are phenomena ina
relate essentially to the moment whei
they are observed. Races are superio
at one moment, and without the slight
est change taking place in their an
chronological composition they be
come inferior at another moment. Al
peoples and all races, or rather al
nations. have contributed their quot

one to the other. The decadence Q

It was a moral decadence before Dc
