How to Sleep.

''In order to secure a good night S

should sleep with your head to the
North. Do not curl yurself up or as
sumo awkward positions, as they check
the flow of blood to and from the brain
and rob sleep of its refreshing qualities.
The easiest and freest position is the
best" Sensible words. And, by the
way, the best way to get good ride is
to take the Saint Paul & Duluth Rail

Two Colored men were seated in front
ola Colored saloon fronting the bay at

Guy Jones, Colored, works with V. A.
Clegg, of Lee County, Ga, and is unlike
any other man only in that his legs and
hands are petrited. These members
are as hard as ordinary wood, and the
pressure which one could impose with
a finger nail failed to make any inden-
tation in the flesh. The man has no
feeling in them whatever, but if they are
cut the blood will flow as from the per-
son of an ordinary man. Guy is free to
talk about his oddly and says that it
commenced on him nine years ago.
''The doctor told me that it would kill
me in four years." said the man, with a
grin, "but am here yet"
One of the most striking women at the
Inauguration ball was tall, 1.-the, dark
haired girl, with brilliant eyes and
clean-cut features. She looked like
Spanish beauty and attracted a great
deal Of attention. There was nothing
of the African in her appearance. but
she was Colored lady Juliette
Robinson-from Louisiana. A number
of the best dancers in the room
asked to be presented to her, but
she refused to waltz with any one. She
is said to be as brilliant in conversation
as in appearance.
At Xenia, o., APP Bowman, q twelve
year-old Colorel boy, shot through the

mittance and did not answer when
asked who he was. The Bowman bog
had been frightened by some bogus
White Cap notices recently, and thought
they had come for him, his parents being
out to spend the evening.
The fortune of a Colored miser is now
the prize at Atlanta, Ga. Adam Beck,
for years lived outside the city in hut,
with no one near him, and no relatives
known. A couple of days since h died.
In bis hut was found silver coin to the
amount of $4,000. If no relatives ap-
pear this goes to the State, but lawyers
are already at work trying to get up
claimants who will give them a footing
in Court, where the fortune would be
divided up in fees.

Just two weeks ago yesterday "a New

from home in "a queer wagon that

to keep out of the way. A man sat i'm the

Barry's arms. The boy did't know where
he WAS. The queer wagon was AN anbu-

what was the matter with John. Nobody
knew until the hospital doctors took him

Johns father is Leonard J. Barry. "a po-
lice officer ON Leonard street. MIR. Barry
was grieved to see his son go away in this
strange fashion. But he did not try tai
