Good Slsensr..

The author Of Bulgaria Before the
War" says that the Turks devote to sleep
any spare half hour that may happen to
be at their disposal. At night, he says,
all his companions would be in the land
of dreams within 10 minutes. while he
lay wide awake and envious.
Ii has often struck me with astonish-
ment to see the little respect any one in
Turkey pays to sleep. When have been
staying in the villages have often heard
a member of the family get up. and after
searching about among his sleeping com.
panions arouse them all to ask where his
tobacco was, or upon some equally slight
excuse
A lad of 1S would thus wake up his
father, man of 80. perhaps. two or
three times in the night, aud yet there
would never be ar angry word of remon.
STRANGE; and when have snapped sav.
agely at someone for walking into my
room and over my body in the middle OF
the night my snappishness has caused
the greatest astonishment.
Many times have turned in with ma.
tiyes in the same room with me, and
though was generally tired and my
companions not, yet think may say
WAS invariably the last to close my eyes.

Died at the Age of 81.

Mrs. Sophy b. CLARK, daughter of Glen
emit and Fannie Cox Bunker, was born in
Athens, Maine, Nov. 2S, 1903.
In 1881 the deceased, then Sophy l.,
Bunker, was united in marriage to Geo.
W. Barker of the same place. Mr.. and
Mrs. Barker began life with only loving
hearts and strong and willing hands, in
the old house now owned and occupied
BY Mr.. Willard Richardson and situated
on what Is known as Barker's Hill, for
more than thirty-hve years; they were
blessed with large family, consisting OF
two sons and six daughters, all born In
this house.
This young couple like many others be-
ginning life under the same circumstances,
found that 1t meant something more than
a pleasant dream but with all the re.
verses which came to them, this noble
spirited, self-sacrihcing woman never LOST
courage, the greater the opportunity, the
more plainly she showed her husband
what a faithful, loving wife could do.
Believing fully In that "Power" which
guides and directs us, she succeeded IL
leading her husband to accept the sam.
faith, which together they cherished
through life. 49,
She so lived before her children tina
