"Madam, 1 will trouble you to look out

"Certainly, sir" she replied, with great
politeness, rising and turing her back up
on him.
"Now, madam, mychange is completed,

When the lady turned she bcheld her

To his great surprise, on resuming his

CRIME AND CRIMINAL RECORD.

Charles Fisher, an election supervisor
at the late election in Cincinnati, arrested on
the charge Of attempting to stuff the ballot
box, has been held to the grand jury.
A. B. Meacham, the United States
commissioner to the Ute Indians, was arrested
at Denver, Col, the 23rd, by the State authori-
ties, charged with being an accessory to the
murder of A. D. Jackson, who was killed by
the Utes in September last.
A man named John Riley was arrested
at Winona, the 18th, on suspicion of being the
person who attempted to assassinate Judge
Page at his home in Austin on the oath of
August last. 1t is said the evidence points
strongly to the guilt of Riley. Riley's home
is Stevens Point, Wis.
At Washington, D. c., the 10th, the
negroes, Joseph Neverson alias Baby Bedford,
and Edward Queenan, we're executed for the
murder OF G.. P. Hirth on the 9TH of January.
Both men maintained Indifference on the
scaffold, at the same time maintaining their
innocence and processing willingness to die.
An Austin, Mimi, telegram of the

of Judge Page, arrived here to-day, in the

$6,174, 1921; leaving valuable balance OF $4,.-

H. 1880, amounting to S., 95l 500. The act Of

Discipline.

There was very aged gentleman who
in my boyhood visited often at my IA
theirs house. He had been member of
parliament, which, in his young days,
implied even more social distinction than
1t does now. His manners were charm
ing, and he was venerable in character as
we'll as in years. he was very kind to
me, and, boy as was, treated ME with
failing courtesy. One day when I
fretted little in his presence under these
bonds of discipline, he laid his hand upon
my shoulder and said: "Let me tell you
a story of the great DR.. Parr. You know,
of course, who he was; what a power he
was in literature, in politics, and in the
church. One day l dined in company
with him, and he attracted much
attention in his wig and his little black
silk apron that he wore like bishop. The
conversation turned upon training in
school and college; and there was a self
sufficient young man at table who made
himself conspicuous and disagrceable by
a noisy denunciation of discipline, as
something that was calculated to break
down youth of spirit. Parr said moth
ing fer while, but, at last, taking ad-
vantage Of pause, he turned to the young
man and said, in his lisping way: "l'm
not thurprithed, thir, at your objection
to dithipline. Dithipline thir, maketh
the thcolar; dithlpline, thir, maketh the

The true art of sleeping is the power

any circumstances. The man who can
thus take rest is refreshed and strength.
elled under many circumstances which
would keep other people weary and
wakeful. He is master of every situation
rs regards his own rest. Some men, by
long habit, find themselves able to take
sleep with the same ease that others
would take glass of water. They can
sleep either while perched on high
stool or rattling along in railroad car
at forty miles an hour. The economy of
wear and tear on the lives of such peo-
pie is wonderful. The man who cannot
sleep unless he has first removed his
clothes, put out the light and climbed
into his bed is at n great disadvantage.
Greater yet is his disadvantage if he can
sleep in no bed but his own. There are
some who are possessed with the notion
that their own bed is the only one in
which they can slumber. These people
are utterly wretched when travelling, or
obliged to absent themselves from home
on business. But he who has accustomed
himself to sleep can enjoy that boon at
any time or place, and is made better
and happier thereby.

Ireland is no longer the source of the
largest immigration, though the present
agitation there will be likely to start the
food anew. In 1872, 1875 and 1876-79
England sent more to other countries
than did Ireland, while within late years
Germany sends the largest number to
the United States-much the largest, if
we count Scandinavians Germanic, as is
proper. According to English statistics,
2,4l5: 900 persons left Ireland from May,
1851, to the close of 1876, and of these
95 per cent. came to America. The
enormous immigration now arriving, not
only from the British islands, but from
the continent of Europe, has attracted
wide attention and evoked much discus
sion as to it's effect upon our country.
Already we have taken in over 10, 600, 900

we ask is that they shall, as soon as may
be, become American citizens.
