Feel Sure of Road.

Chief Engineer Pitman and Right
of Way Agent Woods of the North
Coast railway were in Kennewick
says a report from that place, on
their way to North Yakima. Mr..
Pitman said that a deal had just
been closed whereby the North Coas.
railway had acquired an unbroken
strip of right of way extending from
North Yakima to point just out
side the city limits OF kennewick
This is equivalent to statement
that the road will pass through Ken
newick The North Coast has been
flirting with Kennewick for two
years, and number of routes have
been surveyed just missing the town,
and others directly through the town.
At one time a franchise was grant
ed them by the town council, which
vas allowed to 80 by default. Later
money was expended by the railroad
in purchasing options for right of
way through the town. 1nese also
were allowed TO expire A short time
ago, however. the North Coast rail-
way purchased outright several tracts
OF expensive land within the corpor-
ate limits OF Kennewick, paying ST.
500 for one small tract of less than
eight acres.
The North Coast people also main
-ained an engineer and crew at a
point on the Columbia river just be-
low town where it is said to be the
intention Of the company to build a
bridge. This crew has just lately
been returned and launch has been
fitted up for its use on the river.

Writing TO Himself,

Some men on the road write let
ters to themselves before they get to
the next hotel, so they will appear
important when they register and
ask for their mail, said hotel clerk.
But that isn't always the reason.
We soon catch on to them, because
we see their handwriting on the reg
lister and on their mail, and l noticed
1t once in a man whom l finally got
to know very well.
HE wasn't the kind Of a fellow
who cared anything about appearing
Important l found out. so l asked
him why he did 1t. The explanation
was very simple. He had a miserable
memory, and when he was in another

he had to do in Columbus he would
write It on slip Of paper and mail 1t
TO himself. He didn't put the mem

would forget about putting It there"

Many OF the residences of Christia-

of pretty gardens. which, in summer,
are full of bloom, and give the streets
a peculiar charm and sense of open

wholesome lives. kindly and hospit-
able, with that truest hospitality
which invites the guest to share in
good cheer without ostentation or
display. Dinner is at 3 or 4 o'clock,
served by trim, fresh looking maids,
and supper at 8, where. except on
formal occasions. the guest is free TO
forage around the table for himself.
Host and hostess drink the health of

A THOUGHTLESS BRAIN

Man has a pair of brains. Just as
he has a pair OF eyes and a pair Of
ears. declares Or. William Hanna
Thomson. In Everybody's. But, as
serts DR.. Thomson. only one OF our
two brains is used to think with.
He continues;
When we come into this world.
we have a pair Of quite thoughtless
brains and nothing more. To be-
come intelligent beings. we must ac-
quire a whole host Of mental facul-
ties and endowments. not one of
which does a human being bring with
him at birth. No one was ever born
speaking English nor any other Ian
guage- No newly born babe knows
anything by sight nor by any other
sense. Every kind Of knowledge has
to be gained by personal education.
But only recently have we found that
this education necessitates the crea-
tion Of local anatomical change in
brain matter to make It the special
seat for that accomplishment
Thus, no one can become a skilled
violin player until by long fashion
ing he has made at last a violin
playing place in her cerebrum.
But all this brain fashloning
takes so much time and trouble that
for mere economy of labor. as one
hemisphere will do all that is neces-
sary. the individual spends his ef-
forts on one Of them only. As both
hemispheres are equally good for this
purpose, which of the two he will
educate depends on which one he be-
gins with. This is settled for him
when, as child. he begins all his
training by the hand that he then
most easily uses. Hence It is that
all the speech centres and all the
knowing and educated places are to
be found only in the left hemisphere
Of the right-handed. and in the right
