THERE is knack of sleeping on the
cars which many experienced travellers
do not possess and are thereby de-
prived of rest The secret is this:
Sleep with your head toward the en-
gine. By SO doing you will not wake
up with headache or spend a restless
night. When the feet are toward the
engine the motion of the train causes
the blood to settle in the head, and
rest is then out OF the question. The
porters know this, but only on a few
lines will they change ends when max
ing up berths. Insist upon it and you
will pass comfortable night-if you
have good health and clear conscience.

WORLDS FAIR WORK.
Mission of Assistant Meany on
the Sound.
AN EXHIBIT FOR THE SCHOOLS.
The Fairhaveu Convention to BE Asked
to Start It-Collection of the
Fine Arts.

Edmond s. Meany, assistant to Execu-
tive Commissioner Blaloek. of the Wash
ington Worlds fair commission, has ar
rived from Walla Walla to represent DR..
Biaiock in several matters pertaining to
the Worlds fair work. He expects to &C
company Professor j. Fl. Hendrix TO the
State Teachers Association, which meets
in Fairhaven this week. Professor Hen
Dirk was recently appointed superintend-
ent of the educational department of the
Worlds fair work, and he will take adj
vantage of this opportunity of becoming
acquainted with as many as possible of the
states educators whom he does not al
ready know, and secure their cooperation
in the important work he has undertaken
for the state commission.
After the meeting in Failhaven Mr..
Meany will go to Olympia and arrange
with the state printer to prepare a series
of statistic blanks for use in each county
while the assessments are being made dur
ing the coming spring. He has secured
the promise of help in this line from nearly
ali the boards of county commissioners
and when the work is completed it will be
the first official statistics gathered from all
the counties of this state. This work will
be corrected in the early spring of 1893, so
as to bring the statistics down TO the date
of the Worlds fair, and all will be used to
the best possible advantage. The commits
sion is determined to push this branch of
the work from now on and make the col
lection of statistics as accurate and reli-
able as possible.
While in Tacoma Mr.. Meany called on
Mrs. Samuel c. Slaughter, the newly
elected art director of the Worlds fair
commission. She is enthusiastic for a fine
display of art from this state, and having
had great deal of experience in art and
expositions in Europe and the East. she
will make success of her work in this
state. She wishes to have the artists of
the state devote their attention TO Wash
ington scenery. birds, animals, fruits,
ETC.. in preparing work for exhibition
at the Worlds fair. She and
Mrs. Alice Houghton, of Spokane,
will soon visit Seattle and enlist
the cooperation of the artists and others
interested in the success of this states dis
play of fine arts, and also the display of
woman's work. Mrs. Houghton is super
lntendent of the latter branch of the work.
The two ladies plan to work in harmony
throughout the state, though the depart
ments they represent will be kept separate
and distinct. Tacoma has a very success
full Art League, of which Mrs. Slaughter is
president. The league has l60 members.
Similar leagues will be organized in all the
leading cities of the state.

CONGRESSMAN OATES ROMANCE.
The Very Strange Way in Which He
Met His Wife.
Washington City Post.


Washington City Post
The war furnished crop of romances
that never seems to be all harvested.
Congressman Oates, of Alabama, with
his 80 years and only one arm, has a ro-
mantle story that surrounds the loss of
the other arm During the war he served
in the Confederate army, and it was be-
fore Richmond that he received the
wounds that necessitated the amputation
Of the right arm. At this time it was that
Oates was obliged to lay off on sick leave
while he recovered from his injuries.
He was received into the house of South
ern family and nursed by the eldest
daughter. During the fever she attended
him, and when he pulled through Oates
felt that his life had not only been saved
by her, but his future happiness was in
her hands. The young officer told his
story, but the young nurse did not favor
his suit, whether because she thought it
was. pressed simply from gratitude or
whether she did not return his affection, is
not told. Oates was still too weak to re-
turn to his command, and between fret
ting over his rejected suit and at the delay
IN his return to the front was in most un-
happy mood. One day when more de-
spondent than ever the mother looked up
and said:
Never mind, captain. you just wait for
so-and-so," pointing to the baby in the
cradle she was rocking. "You can have
her by and by"
The captain laughed. The baby began
to grow to girlhood and Oates was inter-
ested in all she did. When she became OF
manageable age he reminded her mother
of her Old promise made over the baby's
cradle. There was no opposition to the
match and the couple are unusually
happy. This accounts for the difference
in age, at which many people have won
dered. Mrs. Oates is pretty woman with
Southern grace and hospitality and de-
voted to her husband.
