centuries ago, when the backs of men

belongings along the highways.
All along the sea front the steamers

RIGHT or Left Eyed?

Few persons. perhaps, realize that
they are as much right or left-eyed as
they are right or left-handed.
! Sit down in chair and fix your
attention on some object on the other
side OF the room. Quickly hold your
finger up right in front of the object,
and instantly shut your eyes. Then,
without moving your head or your I'm
ger, open your eyes one at time. If
when YOU open your right eye you
find your finger directly i'm front OF
the object, you are righteyed. In that
case, you will find your finger very
much to the right Of the object when
yOu open your left eye.
If YOU are right-handed, you will
almost probably find that you are
right-eyed.
THIS is due 10 the fact that of the
two halves of your brain one Is slight
ly more developed than the other. And
the organs and limbs ON that side of
your body which is controlled by the
more developed half are able to carry
out your wishes more easily and quick
ly than those of the other side.

INDIANS TO APPEAL TO KING
Delegates From Six Nations Represent
One Of Oldest confederacies In
the World.

The delegates from the Six Nations
who are to make personal appeal to
King George In respect of their ancient
rights represent one of the Oldest and
most famous confederacies in the
world, certainly the most famous In
the history Of savage" nations.
The Five Nations cOnfederacy, the
eastern branch of the IroquOis, goes
back before the discovery by Column
bus. 1t was strengthened in 1872 by
the admission of the Tuscaroras from
North Carolina, and consisted then Of
the MOhawks, Oneidas, Cayugas, Onon-
dagas and Senecas, with the Tusca-
roras.
The Treaty of Utrecht had declared
the Five Nations to be British sub
jects, and in the long struggle between
| France and England In America the
| British government based Its claim to
large tracts of country sometimes on
the ground of the sO-called subsection
| of the Five Nations, sometimes on the
ground of treaties made with them. BY
| the middle of the Eighteenth century
Al orator of the Five Nations declared

Even the jewellers about Sands

trees died, and it was decided the
other day to have them cut down.
Martin l.. Davoy, former Congress-
man from Ohio, who is devoting him
self now to saving the lives of trees
and adding Beauty to the country,
was called in for expert opinion. "A
year ago the trees could have been
saved" he said, "But they were

And now, sir, confdentially,

Forgot himself and swore.

And I'll stand the frozen locks;
But blast the measly pennies
In the blasted measly box"

And we all shall gather there,

Of putting pennies in the box.
