Hand Me the Roses While I'm
Living and the Knocking
When I'm Dead.

I've noticed when fellow dies
no matter what he's been,
A sanity chap or one whose life
was darkly marked with sin /;
His friends forget the bitter
words they spoke but yes
terday,
And now they find a multitude
of pretty things to say.
/ fancy when / go to rest some
one will bring to light
Some kindly word or goodly act
long buried out of sight;
But if it's all the same to you
just give to me instead
The bouquets while I'm living
and the knocking when I'm
dead.
Don't save your kisses to imprint
upon my noble brow,
While countless knocks and
bruises are hurled upon me
now;
Say the good things to me on
earth while here l mourn
alone,
And don't save all the good
things to carve upon my
stone.
What do / care if when I'm dead
the Daily Town Gazette
Gives me a write up with a cut
in mourning border set;
1t will not hatter me bit no
matter what is said,
So kindly throw your flowers
now and knock me when I'm
dead.
1t may be fine when one is dead
to have the folks talk so,
To have the flowers come in
loads from girls and boys
you know;
1t may be nice to have these
things for those you leave
behind,
But just as far as I'm concerned
l really do not mind.
I'm quite alive and well today
and when | realize here,
Send me helping hand at times,
give me word of cheer;
Just change the game a little bit,
just kindly swap the decks,
For l will be no Judge of flowers
when | cash in my chicks.

Haggin Returns to
Turf at Age of oS

The most important announce
ment to the American turf since
the anti-beting law went into eff
feet in New York was made to
the effect that James B. Haggin,
the New York California-Ken-
lucky millionaire, has re-entered
the turf game, though ninety
three years old. He bought the
noted racer, Ballot, winner of
the American and English stakes
worth over a million dollars,
from John E. Madden, for $780,
600, and from Barney Screibner,
of Spring Valley, Mo-, the inn
ported English stallion, Sain, for
$1,000.
Both famous horses have been
placed at Elmendorf where three
years ago Haggin had nearly a
thousand thoroughbred stations,
mares and colts. Haggin will re-
enter thoroughbred racing on a
large scale.
AT the third and last days sale
of the Kentucky Sales Company
at Tattersall's about eighty head
of horses were disposed of for a
total of $4,000.
Great interest attached to the
sale on account of the offering
of such high class sires as Plau-
dit, Jack Atkins and Imp. Sain.
The two former were retained
by their owners under the re-
serve clause, while Sain passed
into the hands of James B. Hag-
gin. A half-brother of Jack At
kins, a grand looking chestnut
colt, brought $3.50.

reasons this view seems improb.
able.
Another theory, which is al
least interesting, and may, prove
to be correct, is that the nerves
are composed of chemicals OF
such constitution that they may
be easily changed. A familiar
example of similar change is
gunpowder. This is an unstable
chemical mixture, and the appli-
cation of little heat is sufficient
to cause an explosion, resulting
in a new condition of chemicals.
In the same way, our theory
supposes the nerves to contain
chemicals, which are far more un-
stable than gunpowder, so much
so that, in the example given, the
nerves of the eye, ray of light
is sufficient to change the chemi-
cal nature of the compound at
the end of the nerve instantly.
This compound is also so sensa-
tive that no two things make the
same change. The violence with
which each particle of the chemi-
Gals of the nerve changes causes
the next one to also explode"
or change, and so on, through
out the length of the nerve, so
that the impression travels from
the retina to the brain.
To ounterbalance this break
ing down nature has provided a
process of instantaneous rebuild
ing, which restores each part of
the nerve to its original state.
Sometimes the shocks of the
breaking down come in such
quick succession that the rebuild
ing process fails to counterbal-
ance, and then there is a tenn
porary paralysis of that nerve,
An example of this is in being
blinded by the light of the sun.
The rapidity of these changes
will be understood if one will
move the eyes quickly from one
view to another. Immediately
the one view vanishes and the
image of another one is imprint
ed on the brain. In the most
minute fraction of a second con-
ceivable the nerve has carried
this message to the brain, by
the chemicals faithfully perform
ing their functions, and the nerve
is Immediately ready for the next
impression.
Whether this theory is correct
or not, one cannot help but be
most deeply impressed with the
workings of this most wonderful
of all machineS-theh human brain

Human Brain Greatest
Machine Ever Devised
Chicago Tribune.)

be a difficult task to pick on
which one of the mechanical won
ders would be the most marvel
Gus. From the giganic steam
shovel digging the Panama Can
al, down to the compact addins
machine, of inestimable use tc
accountants, we find many in
genious devices, any one Of which
might claim the honor of beins
the most wonderful machine.
But there is one machine which
surpasses them all. Indeed, il
created them all, and in the flu.
ture will undoubtedly create
many far more wonderful mach.
ines. Its invention is not record.
ed in the patent offices, for il
existed long before these.
No one can do more than guess
at the beginning of this wonder
full machine. It's origin is shroud-
ed in the dim past, long before
the prehistoric era. The early
arts of all the earliest people
bears its marks. 1t is recorded
in the pyramids, and even the
sphinx speaks plainly of it. The
beautiful scriptures and the deep
philosophy of the Greeks show
its high development, and the
marvels of our own day tell us
that the most won derful machine
of all is that which created them
the human brain.
True, it is far more than a
mere machine, for there is a spir-
it which controls it and directs
its workings, but it is only of
the mechanical part that we
would speak at present.
To learn more of the inner
workings of that organ, which
thinks and carries out ideas, has
long attracted the earnest study
of scientists. 1t is, however, so
intricate, so difficult to approach
and so closely tangled with spir-
it, that it has eluded the search
lights of science, and still re-
mains a mystery unsolved.
Many ingenious and wonder
full guesses have been made, and
some things found out about the
brain. 1t has been found that
the brain is divided into many
departments, all under the con-
troll of the spirit. From their
respective centers go forth the
nerves to the eyes, ears, fingers,
etc, and these nerves keep the
brain informed of what is going
on in the world. Just consider
for a moment that everything
that anyone knows, or will ever
know, on this earth has come
and will come, to them through
the medium of their senses.
For example, let us consider
the eye. We have learned in our
studies of physiology that the
eye is like a camera; that the
lens in front focuses the image
on the retina, which is a dense
network of tiny nerves, gathered
together so as to form the optic
nerve, and this nerve goes back
to the optical section of the brain.
But how does the image, focused
on the retina, go back to the
brain? More wonderful still,
how does the brain interpret this
nerve stimulation into an i'm
preston of the image, perfect in
every detail, and glowing with
every color? That is the great
puzzle.
Attemps have been made to
liken the optic nerve to an cleo
trio wire, and to consider an cleo
trio current as being the carrier
of the sensations. For many
