COUNTRY EDITOR HAS POWER
Perhaps Less Today Than Formerly,
But He Still Is Leader OF
Public Opinion.

In early colonial days, in New Eng

well as on Sundays, says a New York
paper. Then, in the era of stocks and
small clothes and powdered wigs, pow
or passed to the leading family. Next,
after the JacksOnian revolution, after
a brief period of hegemOny by tavern
brawlers, the scepter passed to the
country editor.
The country editor let the lawyers
with their vocal fiuency, occupy the
offices, but he bossed them The first
call a visiting politician made was
where the sound of the Franklin press
was heard. The sancrum listened and
judged Its presiding genius was close
to his people-he knew his folks. He
was guide and counselor, for his in
formation, at least concerning mat
tiers political was widest. He wrote,
and he wrote well, In days when there
were fewer writer's, but also fewer
smatterers. He took his job seriously.
His constituency looked to him and
he led it straight. Horace Greeley
gained his amazing influence largely
because he was a sublimated country
editor-spOke the vernacuIar and
shared the psychology Of his fellow
craftsmen.
Where old-fashioned country editors
exist one is pretty sure to find a
sound type of Americanism prevailing
and country boys going to college to
work their way through. And the
local editor, even more than the school
teacher, is the inspirer.

The Cats Eve.

The pupil of a cats eye ordinarily
appears as long, narrow oval, or a
straight vertical bIaca line The an
Imal seems to be looking through mere
Sits in the iris of its eye, especially
when it faces the light. In semi-dark-
ness the pupil widens into a beautiful
oval. One is disposed TO regard the
narrowness Of the pupil as the distin-
gushing popularity Of the eyes Of
cats. All animals of the cat family
share this popularity, according to the
authority we quote, yet the natural
shape Of the pupil Of the cats eye is
circular. By varying the quantity Of
light entering the eyes experimenters
have seen the pupils Of the eyes of cats
and tigers change from straight lines
to perfect circles, and While under the
influence Of atropine, which suspends
for a time the muscular contraction
Of the eye, they are always circular.
The normal shape Of the cats pupil Is
the same as that of the human pupil,
but when submitted to the influence
Of light its behavior differs. In a
bright light our pupils become very
small circles, while those of a cat
turn into ovals or narrow Sits. The
general effect In either case Is the
same, namely. to diminish the amount
Of light passing int the eye.-Ex-
change.

scuIptors Novel Defense.

Observant travellers who have
crossed Westminster bridge lately
have been astonished and intrigued
by the sight of a statue representing
a bowman on the corner Of the new
London county hall. A casual In
spection Of the figure reveals the fact
that the bow has no string, the
archer is left-handed, that he has
lust drawn the bow with his fore
finger only, and also that he is kneel-
ing to shoot. One Of the architects OF
the building said that sculpture is not
a rational science; that the scuip-
tors inspiration had led bin to mold
an archer In the position just Sc
scribed. and that Il was vain TO seek
for reasons for such things The
architect advanced the theory that the
sculptor was striving for a more beau
tifuI effect by thus putting the bow
man in a position In which hitting his
target would be nigh impossible.

Welded by ''UncIe Joe"
Historical Library the Proud Poe
SCISSOR Of Relic Of Famous Repub-
iiean Convention Of 1903.

+Uncle Joe" CanRon's Ioog-Iest
gavel with which he controlled the
celebrated Republican deadlock con-
yention Of 1904 has been found. and
now repOses in the State Historical
library, appropriately marked, the nli-
nois State Journal says.
All these years ii has been in the
possession Of Mrs. Charles NJ. Tnney
and it was by her given to Mrs. Web
ct, librarian OF that library.
This is the story of the gavel:
When Uncle joe was elected chair
man Of the convention he was without
gayeL There was meme available
One was needed at once.
Mr. Tinney had been elected sergeant
at arms of the convention and it was
his duty to secure a gavel.
In the rear Of the arsenal he found
gun wiper. 1t was of straight,
tough walnut with small knob on one
end.
The handle was cut to the right
length and with this instrument Mr..
Cannon maintained order.
1t was an odd-looking thine for such
a purpose and, as the convention be-
came more and more historical, collect
ors coveted it and many a plan was
laid to grab It at the end of the ses-
sion.
Mr.. Cannon himself was determined
to keep 1t as a souvenir. James A.
Rose, then secretary of state. was
a collector Of gavels, and he wanted Il.
The last night Of the convention was
rainy. Mr.. and Mrs. Tinney carried
an umbrella with them when they went
to the arsenal, and II was given into
her keeping while Mr.. Tinney per-
formed his duties.
When the hast hour arrived and Il
was known the convention world soon
adjourn sine die, Mr.. Tinney sent for
the umbrella, saying he was tired
and wished it to lean on.
His duty required him to stand by
the chairman's side and assist him in
whatever was done.
Mr.. Tinney carelessly held the UNI
brella next to the speakers table.
Uncle joe lifted his arm with the
gavel In his hand and brought 1t down
with a whack as he declared the con-
ventiOn adjourned. He left the gaveI
OF the table for a second. One end
projected over the edge in such a man
ner that one little movement Of Mr..
Tinney's hand precipitated IT into the
loose folds Of the umbrella.
A dozen hands had been extended
toward the table to grab II, but it was
not there. Uncle Joe" looked around
To pick IL up and found Ii missing.
The choice Cannonlan profanity failed
to uncover its hiding place.
Concealed In the umbrella the gavel
Travelled to the Tinney apartment and
In Mrs. Tinney's possession 1t has re-
NAMED ever since.

The book was published as an after

Of the gavel was wanted, but It could
not be found SO another ggnwiper was
cut and it appears In the book as the
