ON EXPERT One of the best things
TESTIMONY Mark Twain ever wrote
is contained in his "Yankee in King
Arthur's Court,'' in which he tells
how Merlin, the great magicion and
bunco-artist described for the bene
fit of the ruler of Avalon what the
Prince of India was doing, and what
the savage Tartar tribes were about
but was unable to tell what one of
the court attendants, immediately in
front of him, was doing with a hand
held behind his back. The incident
is suggestive of some "expert testi
mony" offered these days. The aver
age "expert" can tell a great deal
about the way things in general
should be done, but when it "comes
down to cases" he is woefully lack
ing in ability.
Also it appears that "experts" are
not always of the same mind upon a
given matter. Take the records of
any great trial, and note the conflict
of opinion in expert testimony as to
handwriting, or the sanity of the de
fendant, or any oher point at issue.
Expert testimony, in fact, has be
come such a joke that in modern jur
isprudence it is looked upon askance,
and carries but little weight with the
jury. In short the average "expert"
is just as much of a "bunco artist"
as was Brother Mterlin.
Further light upon "expert testi
mony" was shed recently in the or
gan of the Cuban Insurecto, when
some involved explaining of that fam
ous mass-meeting report was contin
ued. In apologizing for some of the
weird statement in the famous "W.
A. W." letter dealing with estimates
upon the coat of work upon the coun
ty courthouse a letter made the
basis of the committee's criticism of
the county court it is admitted that
'W. A. W.'1 was instructed to add
$3,000 to his estimates.
Fine basis for criticism that. Why
was not $3,000 subtracted? Or why
was not some other arbitrary stunt
slipped into the expert testimony?
. Why did the committee of three val
iant muck-rakers not present their
own private mass-meeting with even
the exact facts, as they found them
with their biased eyes? Now that
they have admitted that this "expert
testimony" estimate was doctored
one way, and now that they have ad
mitted that they did not inquire par
ticularly into the road expenditures
of a certain district wherein they
charged the court with withholding
funds, end now that they have admit
ted that they did not publish the
fact that they found certain com
plaints groundless; why not make a
clean breast of the whole miserable
business and admit that the whole
thing trumped up charges, framed
up report and other incidents was
pure buncombe from the start?
PORTLAND'S June the second ap
DILEMA proaches, and with it comes
increased confusion for the average
Portland voter who will have to go
to the polls oa that day and help
elect a mayor, an auditor and four
commissioners. The ballots have
been printed, are three feet long, and
contain the names of 99 candidates
for office. To assist the voter cer
tain gentlemen and others -have des
ignated, themselves committees of
100, leagues with nice-sounding
names, and advisory boards, and
have each and severally picked out

Opposite Court House
from 12 asorted candidates to a
"straight ticket which they urge the
voters to support. There is almost
as much variance of opinion between
these advisory bodies as there is
among the candidates.
Portland papers have been heaving
mud at the candidates that displeas
ed them., and taking it one and all,
nobody has ' escaped. The present
mayor, who is running for re-electioi
is portrayed- as everything from a
hypocrite to a saint, depending upon
the political bias of the several pa
pers; and the candidates have beaa
treated to a search for family skelet
ons that should provide material for
a good grist of libel suits after tha
campaign is over. One paper, that
has been particularly savage in its
denunciation of practically all the
candidates, has capped the climax by
boosting hysterically for one of its
own reporters, who happens to be in
the race. Such devotion on the part
of a newspaper for a mere member
of its staff is touching in the ex
treme and somewhat humorous.
Yes, Portland is having some fun
with herself, and is going to have
more. Before she gets her new com
mission form of rule under way she
will have had more assorted varieties
of politics on display than have prob
ably been condensed into any one
campaign in the history of the United
States. There have been campaigns
where seven parties have fought for
the control of a municipality, but sel
dom if ever, has there been a city
election held before in which 99 wan
dering sheep have sought the profit
able fold of municipal office. Verily,
it is to laugh.
Strong Emotion.
Five-year-old Billy was swinging on
the front gate. "How's mother this
morning?" asked a passing neighbor
cheerily. Billy looked serious. "I
don't fink she feels very good. Mrs.
Brown. Her bestest rosebush is dyin'.
and she bad to use lots of emotion."
Mrs.' Brown looked sympathetic, but
puzzled "Poor mother!. Did it really
make her cry?"
"No!" with scornful emphasis "She

Hydroaeroplane
Will Be
Ship of
Future
By ORVILLE WRIGHT.
Aeroplane Inventor
HE HYDROAEROPLANE IS THE SHIP OF THE FUTURE. IT
IS THE ONE THING THAT WILL OVERCOME THE DAN
GERS OF SEA TRAVEL AND MAKE A JOURNEY ACROSS
THE OCEAN NO MORE THAN A TRAIN TRIP.
The hydroaeroplane that I have in mind will be able to journey
over and through the roughest sea and, besides, will be able to TRAV
EL TWICE AS FAST AS THE SPEEDIEST STEAMSHIP. The
development of the hydroaeroplane so far has been slow because peo
ple have not yet begun to realize the vast possibilities that it presents.
It will eventually be built to TRAVEL ON LAND, WATER
OR IN THE AIR, according to the desire of the operator. There
is, to my mind, no limit to its development. It is the vehicle of the
future. There is a great deal more interest in airships and aeroplanes
abroad than in this country, and this is because of an UNNATURAL
FEAR in which the American people hold the present methods of air
travel.
Every time an accident occurs over here you see it displayed in the
headlines of the newspapers, but if an air man breaks an altitude record
or flies for an unusually long distance he gets Uttle more than a para
graph. So the airship has come to be REGARDED AS A DAN
GEROUS THING, and but few of the American public want any
thing of it.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, IT IS NO MORE DANGEROUS THAN
ANYTHING ELSE THAT CARRIES AN ELEMENT OF RISK WITH IT.

THE POSTOFflCE.
No part of the government comes so
close to the people as the postal serv
ice Wuli the addition of the postal sav
ings t,ank and the parcel post, its field
of usefulness is extended, and its con
tact is more intimate than before. No
doubt the postal telegraph will be add
ed in time; also the weight limit of
the aml post will be increased. All
of this is In the bands of the people,
and whatever they decree as to this
great agency for their convenience will
be put into effect.
The postal service is vhe people's
messenger. It carries their tidings each
to each.
It is the avenue for the unsiness of a
nation, safeguards the people's sav
ings, takes their orders and delivers
thtjjr goods, keeps them in touch with
distant friends aud relatives, places
the newspaper and magazine at their
front doors and is tteir errand boy.
It is a gigantic business organization,
as it must needs be to serve 100,000,
000 people. It extends over every rail
way, stage line, ocean highway and
into every hainleL Through its city
and rural carriers it travels every
street and road and visits almost every
house. It protects the people from
frauds and unclean reading matters
If it should cease Its activities for one
week business would be paralyzed and
the average man .would be almost com
pletely shut off from the outside world.
All this and more Is represented by
your letter carrier as he comes to your
home each day. Ills uniform is a
badge of useful service. It is not the
insignia of death, as that of the boI
dier, or of coercion, as that of the po
lice. It is rather that of the Tight
bearer. It is honorable, since It be
longs to an army that serves ovei
every foot of territory "where the flag
floats. Its labor is always arduous
and Its pay relatively small. It travels
by every mode of conveyance known
to man. Mails ar- -arrfo, by steam
ships and steam urs, by aeroplane,
pneumatic tube, folley, stage, wagon.
ft
automobile, motorcie, bl cycle, horse
back and on foot
By placing a little label on letter,
parcel or paper they know a trained
army will bear it on its way to any de
sired point with the least possible de
lay. They have but to express a wish
and pay a pittance and great organiza
tions are nt their heck and call.
Of all these agencies the postofflce ia
perhaps the most universal, least ex
pensive and most helpful.
The Oath Gesture.
The act of uplifting the hand during
the taking of an oath is so ancient that
It would be futile to even attempt to
say when it started. Homer mentions
it as common among the Greeks of his
time, and it is also found in the earliest
Biblical time. For Instance, Abraham,
the father of the Jewish people, says
"I have lifted up my hand to Jehovah,"
showing that even at that remote pe
riod the practice was existent. It was
from the Jews, of course, that the prac
tice found its way into Christendom,
where it has ever since held its place
in judicial trials. New York American
Good Advice.
"My son," said the old hunter, "you
are starting out to earn your living as
a guide. Remember that some people
will want to see bear, while others will
want to see bear tracks."
"Yes, dad."

try to show 'em bear." Louisville Courier-Journal.

points
for
Mothers
Dressing the Baby.
Mothers seem to be divided in their
opinion of how to dress the baby. ;but
their ideas are generally so extreme
that they can easily be divided into
two classes the sensible, who believe
In simplicity, and the foolish, who try
to see how fancifully they can dress
their little tots.
The elegance of baby's clothes should
always be interpreted in fineness and
not ..by fancifulness. If its little slips
are to be the most beautiful' they
should be of the finest hand woven lin
gerie cloth and made so daintily that
the eye can scarcely perceive the stitch
es In . their narrow seams. That is
real beauty and luxury for the baby.
The baby's first slips are the prettiest
in the plain bishop style finished with
very narrow Valenciennes lace edging
around the neck and sleeves and brier
stitching at the top of its hem. For
"best" wear you may want a slightly
more fanciful dress, with tiny hand
embroidered yoke in the front (narrow
tucks running to the neck in the back)
and dainty embroidered flowers strewn
here and there above the hem. Of
course hemming always makes a de
sirable finish at the seams and is not
ornate.
The infant's petticoats should be just
as fine and plain as its slips. And In
winter its ''heavy" petticoats should
be of the finest French flannel, so that
they will not wash together and be
come weighty and bulky. The flannel
petticoats should be finished with bri
er stitched hems. All petticoats should
be made with little waists or wide
waistbands.
Juvenile Nerves.
With highly strung children there is
often a readiness to pick up nervous
tricks from their elders. Thus from
one a chHd learns to stammer, while
from another it adopts various nerv
ous movements of the muscles of the
face or limbs. Such a child needs to
be well fed aud kept as much as pos
sible in the open air, to lead a quiet
life without excitement and without
overexercise of the brain. Above all.
It must be kept as much as possible
away from those people from whom
it seems to be taking the tricks of nerv
ousness. Reserved Boys.
Mothers, don't be too ready to think
that your boy . shows a want of trust
In you if he occasionally keeps a se
cret or omits to tell you every little
thing that he has done. Many boys
are very reserved. They cannot bear
to speak of what they feel deeply.
Make your son understand that moth
er will always be glad to hear what he
chooses to tell her. but that she does
not want to force his confidence. Then
he will speak much more freely to you
than he would do if he felt that you
were "always after him."
Screwing Up the Eyes. -
Disastrous to beauty of a child's ex
pression is the habit of screwing up
the eyes. The trick points very plain
ly to defective vision and calls aloud
for a visit to an oculist The visit
must not bg delayed, for ugly wrinkles
round the eyes is the least evil of this
defect A shortsighted child is se
verely handicaped when it begins Its
school life, and neglected myopia leads
to serious eye trouble in later life.
Properly prescribed spectacles are all
that is required to end this particular
trouble.
Mouth Breathing.
Mouth breathing, which is one of
the signs which point to the presence
of adenoids, can only be cured by go
ing to the root of the matter and hav
ing the adenoids removed by opera
tion. With very young children it is
a wise precaution to do as the Indian
squaws do, and that is to press the
lips of the young child together when
he first falls asleep.
Sunbonnets For Babies.
Protect the baby's eyes if the sun is
very strong. Little sunbonnets of pink
or pale blue chambray are both pretty
and very sensible for young children.
It is far easier to prevent weak eyes
than to cure the weakness once it is
contracted, and. while the sunshine
does not always injure the eyes, you
must remember that even a grown
person cannot stand or work in the
hot sunshine without feeling bad ef
fects from the exposure.
