In obedience to the will of Mr..
Roosevelt the republicans of
New York have re-nominated
Gov. Hughes. While Coy. Hugh
es is one of the strongest men of
his party, his nomination does
not by any means signify that
he will again be the governor of
the Empire State. During the
two years he has served as chief
magistrate he has made a bitter
fight against the sporting ele-
ment and had passed several
measures by the legislature that
cut of a number of the sports
heretofore largely patronized by
the wealthy and influential. This
element sought to prevent his
nomination, but failing to pre-
vent this, they will carry their
fight into the general election
with good prospects of defeating
the governor.

r HOME PAPER.

The home paper should be
found in every home. No child
rem should grow up ignorant who
can be taught to appreciate the
home raper Il is said to be the
stepping stone Of intelligence to
all those matters not to be found
in books. Give your children a
foreign paper which contains not
a word about any person, place
or thing which they saw Or per-
haps ever heard of and how
could you expect them to be in
terested? But let them have
the home paper, and read of
people whom they meet, and of
places Of which they are famil-
lar, and soon an interest is awak-
ened which increases with every
arrival of the local paper. Thus
a habit of reading is formed and
those children will read the pa
pers all their lives and become
intelligent men and women, a
credit to their ancestors, strong
in knowledge of the world as

MYSTERY or THOUGHT.
Try to Concentrate Your Mind on One
Theme For Five Minutes.


A St Louis physician who has given
much attention to the study of mental
disease In its various phases. though
as he says himself, not enough to quail
ify as an alienist. has a curious theory
with regard to concentration Of Thought
on any particular subject.
His idea is that no human can sc
fix his mind on any special topic as
to avoid even for a moment the errant
thoughts that come and go, not only
our most earnest efforts at mental ap.
plication.
He goes so far as to maintain that
nobody but monomaniac can think
Of one subject continuously for Eve
minutes and even believes that the
ability to do so is one evidence OF
something wrong in the upper story.
81 once heard the subject discussed
by party of intelligent men. and one
Of the number was so confident of his
ability to think Of one subject an in
definite length Of time that he reused
his opponents to the point Of making "a
test.
eff you can repeat the Lords Prayer
and then declare upon your word of
honor that you have not thought OF
anything else while doing it. I'll make
you a present Of a horse and saddle
and bride!
"The confident one took up the chal-
lenge and in order to fix his mind
requested the company to keep still un-
til he got through. Then, with frown-
ing brows and tightly drawn face. he
began aloud and went slowly and APP
parently with the most determined at
tention straight through the prayer.
"After he said amen and opened his
eyes he was asked how he had got
along with his task.
ats failure, gentlemen. didn't

name before | wondered what kind of
a horse it was going to be, and before
I reached thy will be done l thought
about black saddles and white saddles
and about the horse again; then of the
bride and the rein. whether they
would be of light or dark leather;
then of old Pete, horse my father
had and how he threw me over his
head when I switched him with To-
Gust thorn branch; then of mare that
kicked old Pete in the ribs while they
were In the pasture together and left
the imprint Of both shoes on his side.
and before l reached amen l thought
of a drove Of wild horses that used to
be out on the plains and what pile of
money a man would make by round
Ing them all up and selling them for
farm horses.

alarm. Mr.. Winger had gone over to

Paid For Their Last Tribute.


In q letter written by Count Cry
male, who was an ardent admirer Of
Chopin, the last moments Of the great
musician are thus referred to: "A few
hours before he died he asked Nine.
Potocka to sing some melodies by Ros-
sini and Bellini, and this she did with
sobs in her voice. Listening to her
voice he passed away" Speaking Of
the funeral. the writer says: "Mozart's
requiem ard his own funeral march
were performed with the assistance Of
Lablanche, Viardot and the concert so
ciety. 1t was characteristic Of the
times that the artists should have
asked 1000 francs for this last tribute
to Chopin. One would have thought
that pride would have kept them from
selling their gifts on such an occasion"
