The teaching of experience indi
cates that accidents are far. mote
likely to occur to the right leg and arm
than the' left. Further evidences of
this fact is supplied by the makers of
artificial limbs; they dispose of many
more appendages to the right side Of
the body than to the other. Statistics
show that on fifty-four cases out of a
hundred the .left leg is stronger than
the right. . "
If a man coufd move his legs
proportionately as fast as an ant,
he would travel not far shnt-of 86
miles an hour. -

Congressman-elect Roberts says:
"There is trolhirg permanent about

Roberts seems -to have strong constitu
tional ground on his side; but there is
unquestionably a, prejudice against
the quantity of marrying in which he
is engaged. The moral sentiment of
the people is against plurality of wives.
The sentiment which is not so mighty
moral is the same way. Poligamy is
opposed in this country, and if Mr;
Roberts wants to slide through a term
in Congress he should be quiet. . ' The
people will not forget, even if a sea
serpent should run up Broadway, New
York; especially if Mr. Roberts keeps
on talking about the. matter. The
Constitution does not present a smooth
way of getting rid of Mr. Roberts but
it is to be remembered that the House
of Representatives can do pretty much
as it pleases about its own membership

It is a fact perhaps not generally
known that The Weekly Constitu
tion b&s the largest circulation of
any newspaper on the western
bemiephure. Only a few months
ago a large nswspsper directory
questioned the claim of circula
tion made by The Constitution and
put up a forfeit of 1100 that it
could be disproved that it had
more than 100,000 circulation.
The Constitution promptly accept--
ed the olTer And submitted its
books to the representative of the -
firm. Mr.-George xVKoweU, pub- '
Usher of the newspaper directory,
acknowledged bis error publicly
and paid the forfeit.
The Constitution, while belnz a
Democratic newspaper, is first and
above-all things a newspaper. It
is a twelve-paire. seven-column
weekly, making eighty-four col
umns each week. Its subscription,

The Constitution has just com

existence, Clark Howell being the :
editor and Colonel W. A. Hemp-

is a household jrord in every
Southern .State, from Virginia to
Texas. It has always been in es
pecially close tonch with the agri
cultural 'masses of the South, and
in having reaehed a circulation
which carries it into 1C0", 000 homes
it has won a unique distinction
which ranks it among the greatest
of American weekly, newspapers.

Every man- should take his
couuty newspaper before anything
else, and next to this he should
taka a good general newspaper,
such as The Constitution. His
county paper gives him the local
borne new, which is not supplied
by a newspaper furnishing the
general news from all parts of the
country and from all over "tie
world. Before a man seeks infor
mation from outside, be should
first feel sure that he is beirg kept
posted on what is going on at
home. This is why ho should taka
his-county paper first.
