To make a successful shot with the bow one must bring every muscle of the body under most perfect control and into most perfect co-ordination with the eye. This factor itself is of important educational signifl cant he factor of self control at a trying moment. When the bow is full drawn every muscle must be in the highest tension, the body in absolute equilibrium, the bow held as if in a vise and the point of the arrow on the mark. Then the string must bound from the fingers wlth out a waver or jerk. These are only some of the elements of archery, there is 53 lifetime of studv in 'them.—Dr. O eorge E. Coghill in Recreation, Affected the Verdict. “You see, gentlemen,” said the counsel for the defendant compla cently— it was a compensation plaintiff case —“I have got the into a very nice dilemma, If he went there seeing that the place was dan gerous, there was contributory neg ligence, and, as his lordship will tell you, he can’t recover. If he did not see it was dangerous, neither could my client have seen it, and there was no negligence on his part. In either case I am entitled to your verdict.” The jury retired. “Well, gentlemen,” said the foreman, “I think we must give him £300.” All agreed tleman except a stout, ruddy gen in the corner, who cried hoarsely, “Give him another £ 60 , gemmen, for getting into the dilem ma!” Verdict accordingly.—Lon don Graphic. Prentiss and His Wit. Sergeant S. Prentiss was a great lawyer and an eloquent orator as well as a humorist, but his humor, though at times excessive, never ob scured his oratory or weakened his argument. He was once engaged in a political discussion on “the stump” with a gentleman who was wordy, dull and spoke “against time” so that Prentiss might speak at a dis advantage. It was nearly dark when Prentiss rose, and the same moment a jackass in a neighboring pound until began braying and kept it up and Prentiss’ friends were annoyed his opponents delighted. When the jackass stopped, Prentiss, casting a comical look at his unfair antag onist, said: “I did not come here today to , reply to two equally eloquent speeches.” Then ho sat down, and his friends carried him from the stand in their arms. SYLVANIA, SCREVEN COUN GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JULY 26, 1906 L. H. N CO. L. H. HILTON CO. MAN'S WEAKER HALF. One 8ide of the Body Generally Not Wholly Developed. The popular belief is that the left side is weaker than the right, and, as in all popular beliefs, there is much truth in this. In most cases the right arm is decidedly stronger than the left, the bones are larger and the muscles more vigorous. When we come to consider the lower limbs, however, we find a pre cisely opposite state of affairs. The left leg is stronger than the right in the great majority of cases. This want of symmetry is noticeable all through the body. Nine times out of ten we see better with one eye than with the other and hear better with the left than with the right ear or vice versa. Not only so, an injury to the body, a burn or a cut, for instance, causes more pain on one side than it would were it inflicted on the other. Even diseases attack one side on their first onset in prefer ence to the other. Eczema, vari cose veins, sciatica and even tuber culosis begin invariably to mani fest themselves on our weaker side. A blistering plaster, too, will pro voke an eruption only if applied to the right side in certain individuals; in others only if applied to the left sidev Thc simplest way apparently weaker side of discovering which is our is to observe which side we lie upon by preference in bed, as it is cer tain that we will instinctively adopt the attitude which is most agree able or, rather, which causes the least inconvenience. In other words, we will lie upon the side the mus cles of which, being more vigorous, are less sensible to the pressure upon them of the weight of the body. Statistics and observation go to prove that in about three cases out of four it is the left side which is the weaker, thus giving reason to the popular dictum. pneumonia, Curiously it has enough, however, been noticed, unlike most diseases, usually attacks at first the right— that is to say, the stronger side of the body._ No Chance For tlluaiona.

When Commodore Rodgers, XT. S. N., was in charge of a recruiting station after the close of the war he received an application. “What is your name?” asked the commo dore gruffly.

An elderly woman who had dur ing the course of a somewhat event ful life buried four husbands en countered at the gates of the ceme tery where they reposed an old but timid lover she had not seen for years. She took him inside and showed him, not without a feeling of pride, the well kept tombstones of her former lords and masters. “Ah, James,” she remarked feeling ly, “you might have been lying there today if you had only had a little more courage!”—London tribune. Drew’s Boarders Differed. Under the old proprietorship of L. at S. Drew the American House Burlington was] one of the most popular hotels jin Vermont, and it was the scene ofi many a humorous episode. One niafct after supper Mr. Drew was vveler®ing whjKu a new arrival in the ofliec cuBrc n extremely cor pulent guest out of the dining room. Point,iu| to the fat man, Mr. Drew said :rYou can see how well we feed our guests. Just look at that roan.” ilt chanced that u permanent resident of the hotel overheard the remark. This man was extremely thin-just the oppo site of the guest referred to by Mr. Drew. The thin hoarder at once spoke liasJfllij^rc up, .saving: “Yes, fat man hcci^^Hfc’ throe days. I have years.
