Remarkable Will Power.

Three stories were toll over after
dinner cigars the other day showing the
power of mans WILL One was of a
young officer in the English army, who
was peculiarly stubborn and irascible.
He had been confined to his bed after
severe attack of the heart and was un-
able to move. HIS physician asked one
of his fellow officers to warn him that
he would never get out of bed again,
that he might arl@nge his affairs before
death. When the sick man was told
what the doctor had said he arose in his
bed excite lily an | said: Il will never
get up again, eh2 | will walk to the
doctor myself AMI show him. He
jumped to the foozf.,s'saa@s.t. .asss,s,a2ss the
room and fell dead.
The other was about a Sheriff out
West, who, when arresting man, was
stabbed through the heart. lie seized
the man ny the SuouIutTS dllcI Tue Dldue
had struck him. pressed him to the
ground, drew his revolver, and deli
a'ely thrusting it down the struggling
prisoners throat, pulled the trigger the
instant he himsel died
The third story was regarding anoth-
er officer who was hunting down a
thief The man thought he had given
his pursusr the slip, but just as he ca
tered one door of railroad car the Off
Ger appeared in the other. The thief
instantly fred, the bullet penetrating
his pursuer's brain. The officer, how
ever, returned the shot, bringing his
man o the ground. lie then dragged
himself along the aisle of the car, firing
as he crawlel until his revolver was
empty He was dead when he was
picked up, a second after he ceased to
shoot. - Boston Gazette.

was down town, and thought L d tell
you so that you could say so to the
men. There was wistful look in the
girl eyes that told how thoughtful she
was for her brother reputation, and
how much she depended upon her lover
to set things right.
As she took her departure, Morton
realized that he must do some quick
work. FIRST, he must kill that cor
respondcnce, which was by this time in
the Gazette forms ready to 60 to press
Second, he mu4t have some good excuse
to give the editor for doing so.
From what he knew of the Gdzette's
publication hour, he judged that he had
half an hour for investigation. Like
mailman he tore arounI the streets-an
animated interrogation point-asking
every man he met what had been heard
of the incendiaries. All started out
with the old story about "They say the
spearmen-" but they were shut off
with, "That's all lie, and rushed on.
1t was no use. He must simply with
draw the correspondence. When he
had but ten minutes more he stepped
into the telegraph office and sent these
words:
DoBBvILLE, July 5.

correspondence. Roy R4neai Is innocent
NJ FRAZIER.
The editor of the Gasette was too
good a newspaper man not to obey such
a summons even with the chance of get
ting 'scooped The correspondence
did not appear nor did the Hazard have
a word regarding the matter.
Two months after, quiet wedding
took place at Dobbville and Wander
ing Mac and Marion were chief par
Elephants in the ceremony. In the same
issue Of the Ga9ette that contained the
very lowery account of their marriage
Morton wrote iD there appeared the
confession of a tramp arrested in a
neigh boring city. He was dying, and
before breathing his last owned up to
having set on fire the Rockwell block,
having accompanied the circus.
Morton read the confession to his
bride on the second day of the honey
moon, and told her the story of his
withdrawn correspondence.
Aoh, Morton, said the lady, re-
proachfutly, s'if that had been published
would never have married you''
I, 81 khe it, dear" returned he, piac-
idly, and think the udzeey edftor uo-
serves piece of wedding cake for kill
ing it, don you2"
She did; and the GasettA force ad-
journed for fifteen minutes the next day
to MUNICH fruit cake, macaroons and an
gel food. - Kantee Blade.

Statistics Concerning Sleep.

Statistics of sleep may not prove any
hing Of Importance but they are inter
,sting. According to statistics pre-
pared in Russia. the need of sleep is
greater in women than in men, the du-
.ation Of sleep being longer and the
percentage Of tired morning AMI even
ng and of not tire | being three to two
and two to three respectively as com
pared to the men. Students sleep lon
ger and are less tired than other men.
The time needed to fall asleep is about
he same in all three classes-20.8 8 min
ltes for the men, H. minutes for stu
dents and 1l.2 minutes for women. In
each case, however, it fakes longer for
those who are frequent dreamers and
light seepers to fall asleep than persons
Of opposite charac eristics.

A Curious Natural phennmon0.

In one Of the Twin lakes, a few mile,
east of Lakeyile, Conn. isa rock known
a, Moving Rck' 1t is close in shore
in about four feet of wa'or, anil ushes
grow up all around it. Fifteen wears
ago this rock vas far out in the lake,
and in size wasnearly ten times as bio
as it is today.
II was noticed one spring fourteen
years ago that tsere wa moro Of the
rock out Of water than usual and soma
of the inqasitv, fishermen who then
ftequented the lake tried to find tho
cause. They lookci down into the
water and they coull easily see the
bottom. They also saw, much to their
astonishment, that there was a deem
furrow in the Yellow clay and that in
length it was ncar.y ten feet, The rock
seemed smooth AID hard,
The next sprhg it had moved nearly
fifteen feet more toward the shore. and
tho furrow was plainly outlined. Then
some one called the gre,t boulder
Moving Rock and the name has
been associated with the curio,ities
Of the lake ever since. AMI each
.pring since that time finds tho rock
closer to the edge of the lake than it
was twelve months before.
A reporter was at the lake a few days
ago, and he. nlde an examination of
the rock. MS quite small now, but
bears all the evidences Of the action of
the elemeats. It Is porou, in places,
and to this hct some attribute its
remarkable tavels. The general
opinion amongthe natives IS that the
ice when 1t breks up each spring is
piled in tons mon the rock by the
north winds, mich have a clean sweep
over the lake, and thus the rock is
driven closer aid closer in toward the
bank.

Fort Mountain.

In Murray County, Georgia, some
twenty miles straight east from Dalton,
there is lofty mountain forming the
southern extremity ofthe Cohutta Range
and afTording a magnificent prospect of
the surrounding hill country Of three
different States. On the broad plateau
in the summit regions of that mountain,
a space Of four or five acres has been
fortified on one side by a bulwark of
rough bowlderi-the precipitous cliffs
of the mountain itself making the camp
inaccessible from all other points. Tne
rock rampant is evidently the work Of
human hands, aad local tradition site ks
to the explanation that force of
Spanish soldiers were here encamped for
several weeks, skirmishing with the
hostile Indians, and altcrna ting their
fights by search for precious metals.
The time of that event is said to ante
date the earliest permanent settlement
Of English speaking colonists, and tits

Thought Odnrs

Not what we do, MT what we say, speaks
for Us
To fine souls here or to the Throne Of
Light,
The words and acts be fair, gods will abhor
us
And men distrust, if our hearts are not
right.
Our secret aim our hidden wish or longing,
Our silent thoughts of men or worlds
above
These are the tell-tale forces that come
thronging
To point to us as onas to loathe or love.
Our thoughts are odyrs, and we cannot seal
them,
30 close with actions but they will creep
cut;
And delicately fashioned souls will feel
them,
And know them sweet or vile. beyond a
doubt
Good deeds fall dead if selfish causes guide
them,
Good words fall fiat that but from lips
have BIRTH
And eloquent and nobls seems, beside them,
The silence or inaction of true worth
