 Pockits are usefull to put things in, sutch as your hands wen you see your teetcher coming down the street and you want an iXcuse not to tip your hat 10 her.
 In winter it don't make hutch difference wat you put in your pockits. but in summer wen the weather starts to get hot it is bad to put in loose chocklit candy.
 Sometimes gerls are all dressed up without even having one pockit, and even wen they do they don't put enything in them but little bit of a hankerchief, while a boys pockit IS libel to have meny diff rent things in it at the same time sutch as a rolled mp peece otstring, 1 unattached rubber bands, small empty bottle, tops of gingerale bottles, pencil stumps, a Chinee cent with a hole in it, a match box with a potato bug in it, banker chif supposed to be wite, little bell off a cats collar and some loose dust.

natural selection. or survival of the Attest.
 August Weismann, German biolo- gist. had an influence in forming the Neo-Darwin school, which holds 1t is impossible to transmit acquired characteristics, as Lamarck claimed, while Sir Francis Gallon, author Of Cations Law, held the reverse, According to this "law' of inheritance the parents Of indiyidu- als contribute on an average of 50 percent of total characteristics. the four grandparents together 25 per cent and the third generation back l2.5 percent. Then there is also Mendel's Law, anthropology, pale ontology ascidianism, the conten- tions of Georges L. L. de BuGfon. French naturalist who died as early as 17SS, phylogeny and host of other angles that knowledge of evolution entails.
 Websters says "it is now under stood that paleontology gives true though incomplete record of the ! existing forms of life" When one takes into account the enormous literature written on the subject popular and for the serious - the huge circulation of the press which from time to time contains the new findings of scientists, one is but tressed in the belief that In the long run 1t will make no difference what the school teachers In Tennessee or elsewhere are forced to omit. He who has a mind to enter into mental research need not go far to find all he can absorb.
 There Is an anecdote about Socra- tes that is pertinent in this connec- tion. It is said that a youth once came to the Greek philosopher and told him he wanted to gain much knowledge and grow up into a wise man. Socrates seized the youth and held his head under water until the poor lad almost drowned. When he finally stopped the learned man asked the youth: "When you were under water did you want air?' Yes" gasped the boy. Well when you desire knowledge as badly as you desired air you will get it" re- piled the philosopher

ONE NEW POLICEMAN MERELY \ BEGINNING

The Common Council last night did at least something in the face Of the need for more patrolmer in some sections of the city, The ap- pointment Of one additional patrol man for the fifth ward was a species of compromises in the face of con- ditions demanding action, despite the the shortage of money 10 cover any real increase in the police force along the lines previously sug- gested by the, police chief and the police commission. One additional patrolman is better than none, how ever. and the public, especially that part of it living in the fifth ward, will be duly thankful When the next city financial estimate of bud get is made up way may be found to place the police force upon a better numerical footing by appro- priating enough money 10 cover the cost of the additional patrolmen manitestly needed in the larger city. The attack of Alderman W. II. Juddsupon the recommendations of the board of finance and taxation for three policemen, involving where they would be placed on duty. and . remarks about the detail of men or day duty as compared with those doing night duty, was unnecessary and questionable, The public does not expected the Common Council tC run the police department. it. membership is not in position tt be as conversant with the detail and needs of the force as the de partment in existence for that pur pose. There are 2O men doing ualtl, and day duty-apprOAimately one third of the oIce-bccauso tho DO lice department finds it necessary tc make this provision for the salet! ot the pubic. No one conyorsan with traffic conditions in this clu will claim there are too few polio" men doing traffic duty in the day time, the genera! opinion prohabl will be that there are not enough Neither the Common Council no the polio department can a'oi regulating traffic .oum, ,nsura' with the neeIs, and the torme ought 10 ha}a the authority Q mee conditions as they exist The reguIa tion of traffic has caused addition to the police force in every city, IS g cond1uon enl not theory ina has to hs faced.
