BECAUSE MIND IS-UNPOISED
Scientific Reason for the Existence of
the Criminal-AbnormaIity in
His Life.

The life of the criminal is simply
an -unpoised life. If a person were
perfectly poised, wrongdoihg would be
so repugnant that it would be IN
thinkable, says writer in Success.
1t is the one-sided, the unpoised
mind that goes wrong. 1t is just as
normal for the balanced mind to
choose the right, the good, as for the
magnet to draw to itself whatever is
kindred
Just as the needle in the marineH's
compass always points to the north
star, no matter how thick the fog or
how the tempest RACES, there is a
needle within every human being
which always points to the north star
of rectitude, of'Iight, of truth, no mat
ter what storms of discord, of weak
ness or of crime may be raging in the
individual mind Nothing can prevent
this little indicator from pointing to
the right, no matter how far the indi-
vidual may drift from it, how low he
may sink in vicious living.

SPANIARD SEEN AT HIS BEST.
Illustration of Courtesy and Hospital
ity Ii Would Be Hard to
Find Match For.

Havelock Ellis, in his Soul of
Spain," has revealed intimately and
charmingly the temperament of the
Spanish people. According to him.
the Spaniard is still fundamentally
primitive In proof of his possession
of the primal instincts of hospitality
and charity he quotes the following
anecdote from an Aragonese newspa
per of a few years ago. at a time when
there was much distress in Aragon-
A laborer out of work came on the
highroad determined to rob the first
person he met. This was man with
a wagon. The laborer babe him halt,
and demanded his money.
Here are $50, all that have" the
detained man replied.
There is nothing left for me but
robbery. My family are dying of
hunger" the aggressor said, apologet-
ically, and proceeded to put the money
in Ais pocket; but asshe did SO his
mind changed.
Take this, chico" he said, hand
ing back $40. zone is enough for
me-"
Would you like anything I have
in the cart?" asked the WAGNER, i'm
pressed by this generosity.
YES said the man. Take this
dollar back, too. I had better have
some rice and some BEANS
The, wagner handed over bag sof
eataoles, and then held out five dollars,
which. however, the laborer refused.
Take them for luck money" said
the WAGNER. ct owe you that"
And only so was the would-be rob.

The horse swapper's business Is
rather fourishing in this section just
now. Many old plugs change hands
and many jockeys are made to rejoice
for short while, at least until they
find out that the other fellew knew
something that he forgot to tell; then
he loses confidence in his former
friend-and doesn't look upon him as
being the pink of perfection as he did
before, but they get better as soon

all better than a partisan. The partisan
system is breaking down. but how far re-
form will go cannot at present be fore
seen.
Mr.. Cannon has been driven from the
rules committee. In the Senate an unof-
fetal committee selected the committees.
and possibly the next step in the House
will be the election of a committee of
eommittees-a committee to select all
other committees. The power to name
is to a great extent a power
TO control them, and if this should be
taken away from Mr. Cannon he would
not have much new power left in him.
The next step after the selection of
committee of committees would be the
election of a chief parliamentarian, and
then the revolution would stand complete.
As the next House is to be democratic
the democrats are naturally joining hands
with the insurgents in this great historic
change.
