Where Is the Soul Located

AT different periods in history since
men first became imbued with the idea
that human beings were possessed of
souls various ideas have been ad-
vanced as to the exact spot which that
Intangible something claims as its
seat. Within the past thousand years
reputed authorities on psychology have
located it in widely separated sections
of the brain as well as in several other
organs Of the body, such as the heart,
liver, spleen and spinal cord. About
the year 1880 DR.. A. III. Stevens of
San Francisco gave the world his
views on the subject, declaring that he
believed it to be situated in that por-
tion of the brain known to the anato-
mists as the corpus calosum. More
than 1,500 years before the speculative
philosopher above mentioned startled
the world with his announcement Of
the discovery of the souls seat it was
believed in Greece, Rome and Egypt
that it was located in the pineal gland
OF the brain. This gland is little sac
containing calcareous grit and for
which the Psychologists have not dis
covered any particular use. The dis
cussion of the subject is an interest
ing one, but it is plain that it is a
matter wholly within the unkEowable
and undiscoverablc.

OPPORTUNITY
AND THE MAN.

a MONG the farmers boys that
~ will scramble around the Christ
- mas trees for presents or go cry
ing about because he did not find
what he wanted i'll his stocking, will
be several future presidents of this
great United States. Others are
destined to be governors, senator's,
captains of industry, great million
aires, engineers, architects and other
movers of the world. 1t would be
safe to say that nine out of ten Of
these boys are going to start life
without any special advantages. The
best equipment they can have is a
good training up to twenty years of
age on the farm, education in the
common schools and habits of industry
honesty and sobriety. 1t is really a
misfortune to be born a son of very
rich parents. Few such ever achieve
much in life and those that do, ac-
quire their fame in spite Of and not on
account of their inherited riches.
Most sons of rich men 90 to the dogs
from idleness or dissipation or pass
through life as colorless drones. As
we have said, some of our readers will
possibly bump up against the future
president during the Christmas holi-
days. They will not know him, but
he'll be there-a strong, healthy,
open faced, industrious boy, who
doesn't lose his temper when called
out of bed at four O clock these cold
winter mornings to feed the stock.
Neither does he "sass" his mother,
play "hookey" from school or spend
his time around saloons or = corner
groceries.
OF course the boy is not to blame
entirely if he does not reach high
mark in life, for his health and par
entail care are to Il great degree re.
sponslble.
The boy of careful early training
and sound constitution must rise ac-
cording to the ambition born and
developed in him; he must learn to
dare and to do for that which is right
at all times, and with this determined
effort, where is the force that can
"hold him down ?"

Tie Sansons have a place in French
history, not only because they contin-
ued so long to hold their odious Office,
but because two Of their number, n
father and son, held office during the
evil days of the reign of terror, when
they were kept so busily engaged with
their guillotine. The last Of the San
son dynasty was dismissed from his
post in the reign of Louis Philippe, in
1S47, under remarkable circumstances.
Although he had inherited n comforta-
Bile fortune from his father, the exc
cutioner of the revolution, he got into
pecuniary difficulties and was guilty Of
pawning his guillotine, surely the most
lugubrious pledge ever taken by NOR
tai pawnbroker. An order caIpe from
the procurator general for the eXecu-
ton of Il criminal, and the necessary
apparatus was not forthcoming The
prison authorities had perforce to get
it out of pawn, and the execution took
place. But the last of the Sansons was
informed that his services would no
longer be required. What became Of
him afterwcrd does not appear to be
known

him. but he could not talk of it to
others.
He was think ing of her one after
noon when his superintendent came
In and reported that Cassidy, the en-
gineer, had been badly hurt by being
caught in the machinery.
Irwin, always thoughtful of his men,
gave orders that he should have the
best of care, and that evening, on his
way home, he stopped in himself to see
how the injured man was getting
along.
Nicely, Mr.. Irwin" said the CRATE

to make me easy, and l have nurse

"Wait until you see her." warned
the engineer. "She'll be up in min

There was the soft sound of a door
opening and Irwin rose to greet the
nurse AS he did so he grasped the
chair for support. 1t was his dream

to convince him was myth.
She came forward with little bow,
and Cassidy, with a wave of his hand,
introduced her.

lively.

sisted. But she would not continue
the discussion, and search his memory
as he would he could not remember
Edna Clintock.
That first visit was but one of many,
and he soon discovered the hour at
which the nurse took her daily walk
and was generally ready to leave
about the time she emerged from the
house.
He was never obtrusive, but in
quiet, masterful way he suited his
steps to hers and continued to walk
with her.
Several weeks had passed and Cas-
sidy was almost ready to return to
work when Irwin spoke at last. They
had told him that she was leaving in
the morning, and though she had pur-
posely delayed her walk until long
after she supposed Irwin had gone his

gate. Falling into step he slipped her

"Did you suppose that I would let

asked.
"Again?" she echoed curiously.
Briefly he recounted his strange ex-
perience. "You have been in my

only woman l can ever love, and /
want you for my wife"

She had been called to attend him
when the fever had stricken him. Mrs.
Irwin had warned her against flrta-
tion, being fearful that her son would
marry. She had promised to be care
full, but In his delirium Jack had
seemed to. know that she was there,
and one evening, to quiet him, she had
brushed his fever burned lips with her
own Just as Mrs. Irwin had entered
the room.
His mother would not believe that
the kiss had been given merely as n

Handbag n Ran Cnpstrictnr

Snake dealsrs in South America have
fine contempt for their squirming
and venomous wares, though it is
sometimes difficult to induce ship cap
tains to carry them as freight The
snake dealers handle the boa constric-
tor with great deftness. This serpent
bites, but his bite is not venomous, so
that the chief danger to the handler
is from the serpents enormously pow
crful muscles. The dealers have learn
ed that the boa to be really dangerous
must have a fulcrum in the shape of
something around which he may coil
his tail. The boa is, in fact, a lever in
which the ordinary arrangement is
power, weight, fulcrum. Knowing this,
the dealers drop soft hat over his
head, that he may neither see nor bite,
and then snatch him 50 suddenly from
his resting place that he has no op-
portunity to brace himself by seizng
fixed object with his tail. After that
the essential thing Is to see that he
is not brought within distance of any
such object.

A small boy had been punished and
in consequence was feeling ut enmity
with all the world, but with his father
in particular. When he came to say
his prayers at night he gabbled through
them at a high rate of speed, and while
asking for the customary blessing on
all the other members of the family,
including the cat, he left Out his Of
Tending parent.

Didn't. Don't want papa blessed"
"Why Harold, when you love him
So! Just think, dear. Papa has gone

feel If he got lost or hurt because you
hadn't prayed for him"

All through the delirium Jack Irwin
was haunted by the vision of one face.
80 real did it seem that when at last
the crisis came and he emerged, weak
nnd tired, from the dream world in
which he had lived for days he In
Btinctively looked about for the reality.
Instead there were only his mother,
drawn little out of her natural re-
preston by her joy at his recovery;
the doctor and grim faced nurse.
"Where's the other one?" he demand
ed as he looked about.
"What other one?" laughed the doc
tor.
"That girl with the blue eyes," he
asked impatiently. Cant you remem-
ber?"
Mrs. Irwin came forward and laid
hand upon his forehead. MY dear
boy" she explained, you must remem-
Der that you have been in a dellrium
for a long time. 1t must be one of the
dream fancies to which you allude."
Il wish l could get back to where she
is" he sighed, and then he dropped off
to sleep again.
When he opened his eyes again there
was only the nurse, and she would not
let him talk of his delusions, yet some
how he could not bring himself to be-
lieve that this was part of his dream.
He could recall in a haZy way many
of the phantasies through which he had
passed, but 1t was not the same with
the girl. There had been something
real, something tangible, about her. He
could remember that all through those
disordered hours he could see her face
smiling at him and beckoning him on
to safety when the others sought to
lure him into danger. He could not
believe, even now, that it was but
figment of fever fred brain.
And yet convalescence passed, and
he took up his work again. The blue
eyed girl remained only a dream,

T. S. PETTIJoHN, ESQ.,, the
hustIing promoter of our rural tele-
phone system, deserves every degree
of success he has attained, for he is an
industrious and progressive man,
which we have learned through i'm
mediate acquaintance with him in his
labors on the " First Official Guide
and Directory of the Peoples, Sys-
TEN, which is nearing completion in
our office. Such men should be en-
couraged by earnest support and
laudi;ions of praise while he can ap-
preciate it. Obituary notices are nice
for ones friends to read (if they do
know all they see) but wouldn' a
word or so, spoken in truth and praise,
be more beneficial to an enterprising
man, in his acme of ambition, than
all the lengthy obituaries and resolu-
tions of respect after he has made his
great effort? Therefore, citizens, be
brotherly and do or say what you can
for the advancement of any good
cause.let it be that of the Peoples
Telephone System or any other that
is a benefit to you and mankind in

daily visits from store to store are
keeping the salesladies and statesmen

many of the gentler sex who do not
like fancy china, and there is no need
to fear they have all they want OF it
either, for they never get enough, and
even if they have all they want when
they see the delicate Havi and and
other rare pieces like are on display

They forget all about what they have

1t was the night of the wedding of
Mrs. Baxter's youngest daughter. The
mother had hidden her a fond farewell
and watched her with her lord depart.
When the wedding guests all had gone
save those who were to remain all
night Mrs. Baxter went to her room,
dismissed her maid and gave full sway
to her unwonted hour Of solitude. She
had loved her youngest daughter even
more devotedly and fondly than she

now. Instead she was reveling In the
first taste of freedom she had known

When five years ago her husband
had been the hero Of a little adventure
that had shocked a shocking world and
her fond, foolish heart would have for
given him as he desired, Walter had
taken the affair into his hands, ably
seconded by his sister Julia, and before
the Frustrated, bewildered wife had
fully grasped the situation she had
found herself divorced. David Baxter,
contrite and concllatory, had been
most generous In settlements and had
then completely effaced himself from
the lives of all he held dear and had
taken up his abode in distant city.
Dolly had been too young to know
much about the affair, and to her
mothers timld proposal that the ia
