FROM THE DoNJoN TOWER. Down


at Gunnison last week q large and
elect ball was gives in hall, one
end of which had been partitioned off
for sleeping rooms. A younn man
who slept in one of these rooms, and
who felt grieved because he had not
been invited. and had to roll around
and suffer while the clad throng trip
ped the light bombastic toe, at last
discovered knot-hoie in the parti-
ton through which he could watch
the giddy multitude. While peep-
ing through the knot hole, he discov-
cred that one of the dancers, who
had an aperture in the heel of his
shoe and another in his sock to
correspond, was standing by the wall
with the ventilated foot near the
knot hole. 1t was but the work of
a moment to hold candle against
this exposed heel unit. the thick ep.
|idermis had been heated red hot.
Then there was wall that rent the
battale. ments above and drowned the
blasts of the music. There was a
wild scared cry of "fre," frighten-
ed throng rushing hither and thith
er, and then, where mirth and music
and rum had gladdened the eye and
Redeemed the cheek moment ago,
all was still save the low, conyulsive
litter Of a scantly clad man, as he
i lay on the floor Of his donjon tower
and dug his nails in the floor.-[Bill

SLEEP IS TIE BEST ST1MuLANr.-
The best possible thing to do when
you feel too weak to carry anything
through is to go to bed, and sleep
for week If you can. This is the
only recuperation of brain power, the
only recuperation of brain force, be-
cause during sleep the brain is in a
state of rest, in condition to- receive
and appropriate PARTICLES of nutri-
ment from the blood, which take the
place of those which have been con-
snmed in previous labor, since the
very act of thinking consumes or
burns up solid PARTICLES, as every
turn of the wheel or screw of the
steamer is the result of consumption
of the fuel in the furnace. The sup
ply Of consumed brain substance can
only be had from the nutritive parti-
Giles ir the blood, which were obtain
ed from the food eaten previously;
and the brain is so Constituted that
it can but receive and appropriate to
itself those nutritive particles during
state of rest, of quiet, and stiffness
of. sleep. Mere stimulants supply
nothing in themselves. They goad
the brain and force it to greater
consumption of it's substance, until
that substance has been so exhaust
ed that there is not power enough
left to receive supply, just as mer
are sometimes so near death b,
thirst aud starvation that there i!
not power enough left to swallow
anything, and all is over.-[N. Y

with joy. He already saw wealth
within his grasp, and his darling
Amelia placed above all fear of want.
The losses Of others were nothing to
him. He had started out to secure
wealth, and was determined to sue

ruined, but still he calmly turned the
cards-and lost!
"The Professor" calmly broke one

Professor" had possessed ordinary
caution he would now have with

Buthe felt he was the special favor

he broke the other side of the card.
O'Brien's lips quivered, for if the
bank lost hewas ruined past all hope
OF redemption. He turned the cards.
Everybody stared with blank amaze
ment, for the croupier's rake sought
all parts Of the table. The bank
had won.

was without cent. The crowd sep

principal cause ofthe spread of the
disease, and the wells and cisterns
which supply the houses were first

by contaminated ice, is strengthened
by the fact that very severe and

not be employed with advantage in
exercising some sort of surveillance

a YANKEE EN0CH ARDEN.

Harry Rockwell, who died in East
Hampton, Conn.,, recently, in the
eighty eighth year of his age, had a
singularly adventurous life, parallel
ing in some points the tale told by
Tennyson in his poem of Enoch Ar
den. The New Haven Register says:
"Mr. Rockwell was born at Ware
house Point. On the 14th Of Janu-
airy, 1917, be married Esther Niles
whose sister was mother to Herman.
US NJ. WEIGH, of this city. About
two years after Mr.. RockwelPs mar
riage, one Child having been born to
him, he went to Savannah, Ga, to
work at carpentering. The follow
ing spring he returned to New York
and there shipped on board vessel
bound on whaling expedition to
the Sonth Sea or Falkland Islands.
The crew multiplied on account Of
the captains cruel treatment, and
Mr.. Rockwell and some of his com
rades deserted. After incredible suf-
fering they reached an English man
of war, on which they shipped.
During all this period no tidings
of him had reached his faulty, who
finally gave him up as dead. Ahou,
six years after leaving home, lie
again came into the port of New
York, and learned that.his wife haG
married again. Without letting her
know that he was still alive, he
again assumed his sailor career, and
for ten more long years lie followed
the seas, visiting many lands, expe-
riencing many thrilling adventures
and enduring untold mental and
physical sufferings. In his absence
his only child died.
His wife had married George
Evans, of Chatham, and three chill
dren were born to them. In 1881
Mr.. Evans died. Four years later
Mr.. Rockwell once more arrived
home. He had been away sixteen
years and was then 80 years old. A
singular circumstance was connected
with his return. About a week be
fore, his wife's little girl, Belinda,
5 years old, awoke one morning and
amused her mother and her family
with the story of dream she bad.
She dreamed that her 'otier papa
had come home, clad in sailor cos.
tune, except that he wore a peculiar
vest made of handsomely figured
silk, such as she had never seen be
fore.
On the evening of July 4, 1885,
Mr.. Rockwell knocked at the door oil
his wife's house and asked for shell
ter from an approaching thunder
storm. The widow asked him in
and invited him to share their sup
per. He was still unrecognized, bn,
the singular vest he wore attracted
attention and brought TO the remem
brance of all ZeliDda's dream.
With agitated voice the widow ex
claimed: "You remind me of maj
who was once my husbandp "Don'
you know me, Esther2" the long los
husband replied, as they Embrace
each other. Explanations followed
and five days later the couple wer,
re- united in marriage. Three chill
dren were born to them. Mr.. Rock
we'll wrote long account of his lit,
and his adventures, but the manu-
script was lost. His widow is still
alive, but is rapidly failing, and viii
