INJURED THROUGH
BEING KICKED

Milton, the s-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs. J. Vargas, was kicked by
horse yesterday afternoon and quite
seriously injured. The little fellow, with
a number of his playmates had attached
I number of ropes to the animal an.
were driving him about and at the
same time s'epping him about the legs
with switches. The horse, though gen.
tie, after a time, objected to the pro-
eeeding and kicking back with both
feet, a la Maud, struck the Vargas
lad on the mouth and on the collar

The Power Of Attention.

The fact that the mind OF man IL
easily distracted from any subject in
contemplation accounts for the slow
ness OF the development OF most
minds, and for the extreme slowness
Of the development OF the human
mind collectively There are histor-
ical periods when general enlighten-
ment seems to have advanced by leaps
and bounds; but when one takes cog
nizance OF the tens OF thousands OF
years that man has been ut play In
the kindergarten OF Creation. one liz
aware OF the very gradual and DELHI
crate character OF human progress as
q whole; and this deliberateness OF
growth. and the remains Of Ignorance
and superstition even In minds re-
garded as educated. come largely from
the inability OF men to keep their
thoughts employed steadfastly on tpe
various objects and problems Of mat
ter. mind and life. The faculty Of It
tention Is strikingly lacking In the
savage man: 1t increases as civiliza-
ton increases, and ID large factor
In the advance OF civilization and or
culture.
When the power OF attention Is ex-.
c<ptional In the individual, he Is set
apart from his fellows; he is a genius
In the business world, or perhaps q
poet artist. inventor. discoverer. phil
osopher. reformer. statesman or con-
queror When the power OF attention
In a community has been stimulated
by one attentive mind or by q group
OF attentive minds, the world passes
through periods OF great mental ac-
tivity: great reforms take place; there
Is great material or intellectual adj
vance; or there are reyivals In letters
and in the plastic arts.
The supreme object of the teacher
is to cultivate attention In his or her
charges. When a child has learned
how TO pay attention. he has learned
how to study and to learn. Object

WORLDS GREAT BRIDGES.
Romans Were the First Great Build
ers Of Stone Spans.

Romans Were the First Great Build
ers Of Stone Spans
There Is great hope for the fu-
ture development Of bridges In that
there seems to be tendency among
fnanciers more closely to consider the
question Of maintenance as related to
original cost In large construction en-
terprises. and this viii unquestiona-
bly, induce them TO build more largely
of stone and brick than has been the
case until this generation, says tina
Metropolitan Magazine.
In the construction of stone bridges
the Romans were the first great build
ers. Bridge building was In fact one
OF the most interesting problems they
had to solve, In architecture and con-
struction they were indeed q most
original and artistic people. too lit
tie appreciated and studied by mod
ern Anglo-Saxons, They were the
forerunners of our present construc-
ton. Until their time the Greeks had
not reached that measure OF perfection
now so much considered, and theirs
was the elimination of the slow ar
tistic development through the ages.
The Romans. however. had presented
TO them untried problems to be sols-
ed which called for new methods OF
construction, and of these the bridge
or aqueduct was eae OF the most IN
teresting. They we're practically the
first people to g2e the principle Of
the arch and voussoir construction.
The use OF the arch principle. white
sometimes attributed to the Chinese,
was practically unknown to the an
clients OF the western civilization un-
I'll the Roman conquest II has resn
commended that the Idea OF the arch
principle was frat evolved by the
Etruseans; IL this is true. II Is indeed
coming near TO Rome.

built by Caesar Augustus at Rimini
or the Pont dn Gard. the great aqne-
duct situated about twenty miles from
Mines built across the River Gard and
attributed to Agrippa. the bridge M

a period between this time and tre

Importance were built, and 1t was be-

THE FACE ON THE CENT.
II Is Not That of an Indian, but OF .
Pretty LIttIe Girl.

Il ~
Pretty Little Girl.
Mrs. Sarah Longacre Keen, who liv'
cd and died IN Philadelphia, came
nearer being the queen OF the Amerl-
can mint than any woman who ever
lived. With the exception Of Queen
Victoria, whose image was engraved
on every coin of the British and In
dian empires, Mrs. Keen was first in
the number OF her metal photographs.
Her face as a girl OF twelve summers
is to be seen on every American cent
issued since 1886 from Uncle Sans
coin factory.
1t is usually assumed that the face
! on the head side Of the copper is that
, Of an Indian, but q close look will re-
veal a Saxon profile. Just borrow a
cent and look at It. The setting is that
o: an Indian.
Between 1923 and 1910 James Bar
ton Longacre was chief engraver in
the United States mint In Philadelphia.
In 1885 competition was opened for
sketches and engravings for the new
copper cent that was to be issued and
which has since been in service. There
were over a thousand designs offered.
! The prize was n good one. LOngacre
racked his brain for some original and
singular design that would strike the
judges, but for months he failed to
satisfy himself.
One morning a number Of Indians,
with their chief, who had been to pay
their respects TO the great white chief
in Washington, came to the city and
! were shown through the mint. They
were introduced to the white chiefs
picture maker who was just then
showing his young daughter Sarah the
great concern. The old chief was at.
tracted by the sweet faced maiden and
her interest in his feathers and paint,
She childishly wondered how she
would look in the feathered headgear.
This was told the chief, who soemnly
| Invested himself Of his feathers and
had them placed on the girls head,
The effect was so striking that the
father took time to make q sketch of
the picture, finishing It arterward for
his own amusement.
At the last moment Of the period
given for sending In engravings he be-
thought himself of the possibility Of
the combination Of Indian feathers
and Saxon sweetness. He got II in,
and much sport was made of the child
at the time in the city because Of the
incident. The sketch passed through
the seventh sitting and finally reached
the last round. by ono vote 1t won,
and ever since Sarah Longacre's young
face has served for the humblest Of
coins, than which no single coin in the
world has such tremendous circula
