waged by both these aspir-

and Taft are confident of
carrying of the laurels. The
Taft faction predict a clean
sweep
Champ Clark and Woodrow
Wilson supporters are claim

open a larger opportunity for good

be the judges holding even scales, al

any question in controversy and leave
the finding of the verdict to the jury
of its readers. They, the editors, are
not justified in becoming the volun-
teer prosecuting attorney Of one or
the paid defending counsel Of another
cause or candidate.
Going into hundreds Of homes across
these thresholds where the feet Of the
preacher and teacher never sound the
newspaper should bear to old and
young such messages Of enjoyment
and for education and entertainment
as their hearts and minds need and
hunger for. Put yourself, young breth-
rem, in the plight and position of one
going on a visit to a family of which
he is an adopted member. BY day its

which you have given the thought OF
your brain and the WEAKNESS or your
eyes while others have toiled for gain

people such service as the shepherd

they will come to you and follow you

The FREQ Use Of Both Hands.-There
was a fad some twenty years ago
among certain classes to make the
children use both hands equally. with
view to developing ambidexterity,
says Harper's Weekly. There were
very few successful results; on the
contrary, the children that used only
one hand seemed to get along better
in every way, especially in intellectual
development. The explanation for this
is found in the fact that the control
of the hand Is intimately connected
with the development Of language;
but the brain centers that have to do
with language are situated on the left
side-that is, in connection with the
centers that control the right arm and
hand.
An examination Of thousands. Of hu-
man skeletons showed that in every
case in which the right arm had
greater development than the left arm
there was a corresponding develop
IltlI OIl luC lClI oioC Va tAAS ofAaAa'
Left handed persons would according
ly be expected to have less language
ability, on the whole. than right
handed persons; and children that
used both hands indifferently under
compulsion would hinder still more
the development Of their ability in the
use Of language.
In the German army, DR.. Bardleben
found 1888 per cent Of left-handedness.
This figure is to be considered as rather
lower than the true ratio, as many
handed men deny or fail to re-
port the fact. In northeastern parts
of Germany left-handedness is less
frequent than In the central parts.
1t is curious that among the monkeys
the orang- outang and the bylobates
are right-handed, while the gorilla
and the chimpanzee are left-handed.

Bliss From the Proverb.-There's an
old codger in Boston who affects to
despise a college education. He never
had one; he's very successful, and he
doesn't see that a university training

Therefore he sneers at some of the
younger fellows who have had more
educational advantages.
The other day he was calling down
