When business becomes so absorbing as TO re.
suit in insomnia 1t is time stop business busi
ness may stop you. No sleep, no brain; no sleep

and brain with new strength. Sleep is food as
much as bread. There is a time to stop turning a
subject over and over again until 1t gains complete
possession OF you and you turn and toss aud can
lie still out of very WEAKNESS. That is one of the
iuitistOry steps to the mad house. Sleeps money
Sound nights rests will give you clearer head
for scheming, planning and getting the best o.

ONE of the aristocratio clubs Of London is
reported by cable to be in awhite heat of in
dignation because the authorities have taken
cognizauce of the gambling carried on in its
rooms. High play is afeaturs in many clubs
both abroad and in this country, though it is
only fair to say that there are also many
clubs that prohibit the porniciOas practice.
Heretofore, though the fact that gaming Is
indulged in in club life has been
notorious. it has not been inter
fered with by the law, tho pri-
yacy of club life being treated as if akin
to that of the family circle. But there is no
good reason why gambling should be per-
iuitted in clubs any more than in rooms to
hieh the public is admitted. The law
should be uniform in its operation, regardless

THE MEXICAN TREATY.
A Long Discussion In the Senate on this
Very Important Measure.


The senate spent four hours and q half yes
terday in executive session considering the
Mexican treaty. An agreement was reached
before adjournment tnat debate should cease
.at o'clock to-day, and that q vote should
be taken Immediately thereafter. The prin-
cipsl speeches yesterday were those Of Senator
Gibson, of Louisiana, opposing ratification on
the ground of injustice to the sugar interests
OF his state. and Of Senator Miller of New
York, favoring ratification.
Senator Miller travelled extensively in
Mexico last summer, and was able to describe
as the result of personal observation, the con.
dition Of affairs in that country. He said
that the Mexicans could never be great
manufacturing nation. The people were moi
endowed with the qualities which were
necessary to build up O system OF manu-.
features, and their country lacked both water
| power and fuel.
They were, on the other hand, or would be-
come, extensive producers of raw materials
many kinds of which this country did moi
produce in sufficient quantities for it's own
consumption, and some which it did not pro-
duce at all, TO extend American trade in
manufactured articles closer relations with
such countries as Mexico must be established
We could not, he said, sell our manufactures
| to European countries because they could
manufacture more cheaply than we could
We needed the raw products of Mexico snt
Mexico needed our manufactures. The pres
ent treaty was only an entering wedge-a be
ginning.
Senator Colquit made short speech il
favor of ratification.
The result of the vote to-day cannot b,
predicted. Estimates of the strength of tn,
opposition were current last night, but are un
trustworthy.
There are enough senators who have no
yet decided how they will vote to turn th
scale either in favor of the treaty or against il

For ages long without my ever speaking
I've borne despite and wrongs;
From out my bed come fends who nightly seekinl
Drag me from there with tongs
They stew, and fry, and very often roast me,
And some would even boil
I'm peaceful even when they toast me,
And still when in a broi
They swallow me alive as did the Roman,
And drown me with a cup
OF bitter ale, 6t for an Euglish yeonan,
And sometimes throw me up.
But now I'm on a strike; the winter ice Is

You'll find they upward tond.
