    I do not consider a man is a thoroughly trained soldier unless he can mount equally well on either side of his horse, use the sword, pistol, and lance, equally well with both hands, and shoot off the left shoulder as rapidly and accurately as from the right. The heavy pressure of my office work makes me wish that I had cultivated, in my youth, the useful art of writ- ing on two different subjects at once. I get through a great deal extra—it is true—by using the right and left hand alternately, but I thoroughly appreciate how much more can be done by using them both together. I wish this Ambidextral campaign every success.
