alone he committed an outrage on
her person. A warrant was issued
for his arrest. Before he was arrested
he went TO his home, told his wife all
about it, but denied assuIting the
girl. He told his wife he thought
1t was best to leave before arrested.
She told him not to go; that if he
was innocent, to stand his ground,
but that if she wanted money to give
her all he was worth He went into
his room and got his razor. Again
he reasoned with his wife the best
thing under the circumstances was to
go away. He kissed her goodbye affec-
tiOnately, kissed the children, and
told her that if anything should hap
pen to him to take good care of ner-
self and the children. In going he
met attorney E. w. Norlin and held
a long consultation with him concern
ing his defense. As they reached the
school house Norlin asked hIm to re-
turn to town. McManis answered:

How to Get to sleap.

The suggestion recently made in
this column IN regard to methods to
induce or promote sleepiness, has
been put to a practical test by one
constant reader Of the Tribune with
much gratifying results. The sug-
gestiOn was that sleep could be wooed
successfully by method of counting
in this fashion: I, 2; l. 2 3; 1, 2, 8,
4; /, 2, 3, 4, 5; etc, up to %. This
experimenter relates his experience
in the following manner: my plan
is not to count rapidly but to call off
mentally one figure with every ex-
piration of breath. A person in good
health counts at the rate of about
twenty a minute. Before reaching %
In this scale, he must count for about
sixteen minutes as the series mounts
up to 325 counted straight ahead
But I have found one decided advan-
tage over counting in regular order
that can be done mechanically, with
out any mental activity whatever.
The other method is not burdonsome
to the mind, but furnishes just enough
material to keep the thoughts off 9th
er subjects. I often find myself for
getting the number at which I ought
to stop and return to I, whereupon I
at once begin where I left off and
proceed in regular order. I cannot
say that this scheme will produce
sleep when there is no inclination,
but when there is even arudimentary
impulse I know it will encourage and
increase it. I have tried it a good
many times since [ first read about it
in the Tribune, and it has only failed
me twice. Often on waking I will
remember that I was not able to count
beyond seven or eight before losing
myself IL slumber. I have never yet
counted up as high as twenty. I think
seventeen or eighteen has been my
limit. I believe that the author Of
this suggestion has conferred boon
upon people who are troubled with
insomnia, although it can not be ex-
pected to work in every case. "-Neu

Papa was Good, but whiskey
Did it.

Col. Alex. Hogeland, the news
boys friend' tells the following story:
was sitting at my brealfast-table
one morning in my home at Louis
vile, KY, when the door-bell rang.
My son opened the door and came to
the dinning-room and said: There
is lame boy on crutches at the door
who wants to see you. He has been
crying, I think I stepped to the
door, and in a food of tears he asked
me to go and see his father who was
IN jail. Said the boy: My father is
to be hung tomorrow. The governor
will not pardon him. He cut my
mothers throat when he was drunk
He was a good man and we were al
ways happy only when father got
drunk. Won't you go and pray with
my father, and them come to our
house when his body is brought to
us? I went as requested and found
that demon drink was the sole cause
VI GlCLU 1CIElly . Lull dliN+ CCoOldUlAlAls
The father was hung and when the
body was taken to that home I was
there. Six worse than orphaned chill
dren were curled upon a bundle of
straw and rags, crying with a grief
that would make the stoutest heart
quail The crippled boy, but Il
years old, was the sole support of this
little family. The fathers body was
brought IN by two officers. The plain
board coffin was rested upon two old
chairs, and the officers hurried out of
the room and away from the terrible
scene.
Come" said the crippled boy,
come and kiss papa's face before it
gets cold and all six children kissed
the face of the father and smOothed
the brow, sobbing in broken accents,
whisky did it; papa was good, but
whisky did it. Since that day,
vote. as well as pray, for the destruc-
ton of this arch enemy of the little
children of the land. Issue.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox says that if
she were asked to define the meaning
of a successful man, she would say
''a man who has made a happy home
for his wife and children. No mat
ter what he has not done in the way
of achieving wealth or honors, if he
has done that he is a grand success.
If he had not done that and it is his
own fault, though he be the highest
in the land, he is a most pitiable fail
ure. I wonder how many men, in
the mad pursuit for gold which char
acterises the age, realize that there is
no fortune which can be left their
families so precious as the memory
of happy home.

No Oorsets for Girls.

I can point out many ladies OF my
acquaintance who have never worn
corsets, and who neither look limp
nor stoop; in fact, / have been par
ticularly struck with the erectness Of
their carriage. My mother, who is
near sixty years of age, is much
straighter in the back and shoulders
than most of the young ladies whom
I know. She never leans back in
chair, and does not appear to need
any artificial support whatever. She
has never worn a corset an hour My
opinion is that when a person com
mences to wear corsets she is far more
inclined to stOop than before, and as
to the figure, the one without corsets
is far more graceful and pleasing to
the eye than the hard, bony-looking
structure we so often meet.
am very glad the outcry about
this article of dress is becoming so de-
cided, and I hope much good will be
the result. To put children and
growing girls into corsets IS simply
outrageous. All the young muscles
so delicate and beautiful, should have
full play to develope healthily as ma
ture intends them, and not be crushed
and confined as they must be even by
the most innocent description of cor
sets. The more room these growing
muscles have, the less deformity
there will be, for nature IN her healthy
development never deforms. Let US
allow natural growth and we shall
healthy and vigorous bodies. Eng

THE INHBRIArBs END.

Raise me up gently-there-
Oh! give me a breath of the pure cold air!

I am going so fast.
But no one win care how soon I am cold
They'll hurry me under the damp, dark mould,
And only paupeF' they'll say as they pass,
Another poor wretch is buried-alas.
That all were not lying beneath the sod
Who set at naught the great laws of Cod
Bring me water pray:
I drank nothing else in my childhood's day,
How it ran by our door!
How it leaped on the shore!
Oh why did drink from the poisoned bowl:
That has wrecked my life and ruined my soul.
That has laid in the grave my lovely wife,
And filed my life with bitterest strife?
Do You think I can find forgiveness up there?
What q wretch have been
None but God knOweth how great is my sin,
But the bowl I've forsOok-
Have you 'mong you a book
The book that tells Of the ''prodigal s0n?''
An the life that God gave me is almost gone
The shadows are deepening, my eyes are dim
have heard yOur prayer and beautiful hymn!
/ may be forgiven-God knows alone
shall hope and trust to behold his throne
/ am going-good bye
No one loves me here-I hope that on high
My poor wife waits for me
By the great crystal sea
She loved me till death, so true was her heart
Twill be sweet to meet her, never to part;
Ny life has been bitteT-I'm glad It's most o'eT,
Your faces are sad-Oh! try ye to save
Some youth from despair and a vile dFUnkJ5d'

After an investigation the New
York San concludes that 100000
working women IN that city are re-
ceiving wages so low that they are
compelled to accept charity or starve.
Such a condition in a country calling
itself civilized, much less christian, is
too famous to require comment
Spectators rolling in ilIgOtten mil
lions and delicate women denined
enough for their toll to ward off
starvation! Does history bear a
blacker ballot even among barbarians?
Yet this only one instance and still
the sober clouds gather over the ma
ton. It is unreasonable to look for
the Hastings of the Ightnings of pop
ular wrath and the crashing of the
thunders of the indignation of the
peoples And that is the way great

one dollar minute; undoubtedly
each of these monster capitalists
thinks that dollar a day is all that
any laborer should have. Probably
it Is more than they get on the aver
age.
Is it of any use to tell sensible men
that the interest Of a Iaborer at dol
lar a day is identical with those of a
capitalist at $25, or even only 81, a
minute?

in the U. S. Senate who possess in
the aggregate $162OOO,OOO - One
Hundred and Sixty-Two Million Dol

have become wealthy through great
land steals, and gifts in the name of
building railways, dealing IN war
bonds Of the United States, making
rings for storing up grain and meat
until a double price is extorted from
labor for its food, and by the same
means forcing up the price of coal
and forcing down the price of labor
which digs it out a thousand feet IN

Now, any sensible man knows that
no one could earn or honestly get that
amount OF. money or wealth in three

lucky he may be- Then It must have

ask what is the good Of a government

by every sensible man that govern
ment and laws are, or ought to be-,
for the benefit of the weak against
the strong, and if it fails to do this, it
fails to do what it was organized to
do.
Our government Iegislates in the
interests of monopolists and money
kings, swindlers, and deadbeats. In
the time of King Edward ", of Eng
land, laws were passed that food and
wages were to be regulated by acts
of parliament; and no employer could
reduce the wages of the Iaborer be
low a certain point, nor could pro

thing like justice was melted out tc

ing men will have to organize such a
government in your own interest or

Hypnotism is defined by Webster
as a sleep, said to be produced by an
imaI magnetism" In itself it may
be delusion, but in politics it seems
likely to prove a snare, The advlces
from Servia go to prove that there
are things in heaven and earth that
are not dreamed Of by average NOR
tails. The true explanation of Queen
Natalie's expulsion, King Milan's alb
dication, and the consequent distur-
bance of European politics, is due to
this strange and intangible agent.
King Milan had a prime minister and
his prime minister had a wife who
was a big dark woman with low
forehead and serpent eyes, who made
hypnotism and its kindred subjects
study. Spiritualistic seances were
held at the palace, and King Milan
was gradually drawn under the IN
fuence of this women until he had no
will of his own. When questioned
about ms abdlcatIOn he SAID he had
to do it" 1t was generally under
stood IN court circles that he was in
some extraordinary manner under
the influence Of the prime minister's
wife. A hundred years ago she would
have been hung for a witch, but now
she is a specimen" to be studied in
the interest of the occult sciences,
and called, not witch, but a theoso-
phist or a Christian scientist. There
is nothing new about the matter ex-
cept the names. In the mean time it
will pay scientists to study the matter
up and let the world know what and
how much there IS in it.-TeclCHlseb
