ing on them, but my wakefulness has
never become fixed "ha0it." | have
been able, after a night or two Of worry,
to drop back into my normal condition
and get my usual eight hours of sleep,
which is necessity to the average man
or woman if they retain healthy condi-
ton of body or mind.
But to many, with increasing burdens
of cares and riches, and q luxurious life,
and with some an idle life thatcome with
inherited riches, without that exercise of
body and mind that a wise Creator has
ordained shall be the condition of good
sleep, good appetite, and good health,
and frequently a life OF dissipation, or
acts contrary to the laws of God or man,
which result in violated conscience that
will not rest, and described as "troub-
led sea whose waters cast up mire and
dirt" A failure to sleep becomes fixed
habit, and with absence OF sleep comes
nervous prostration and misery until
life is not worth living. To such wealth
and honor can do no good. think often
that man who has accumulated hun
dred millions of dollars is to be pitied-
that he has reason to envy the man who
by the sweat of his brow earns his daily
bread and nights lodging; whose food is
easily digested, and whose sleep knows
no Weakening until the morning sun calls
him to another days toll.
Many millionaire would be glad to
give a thousand dollars day for such a
mans appetite and digestion, and
thousand dollars night for his untroub-
led rest. But no money can buy what
hard work, and clear conscience, and
plain food can give.
Insomnia is a hard word for children
to pronounce and to spell, but it's infic-
ton is much harder to endure, for he who
has it when he lies down at night says,
"would to God it we're morning." Avio-
lated conscience and an abused body are
pretty likely to bring it. The pleasures
Of vice, or OF appetite, or ofgreed, are but
for a season, and if man accumlates
a hundred millions when he leaves
this world he cannot take dollar of it
with him. The only thing he can take
out of this world is character, and if it is
a bad character it goes with him Just as
surely as good character goes with the
upright in life. GEO. W. HASTINGS.

fHE STORY OF AN APPLE.

Little Tommy and Peter and Archy and Bob
Were walking one day, when they found
An apple; twas mellow androsy and red
And lying alone on the ground.
Said Tommy: "I'll have it," Said Peter: " IT'S
mine"
Said Archy: "I've got it: so there
Said Bobby: "Now let us divide it in four parts
And each of us boys have a share"
mo, nor shouted Tommy; "Ill have it myself"
Said Peter. Il want it, 1 say
Said Archy: give got it, and I'll have it all;
won't give morsel away"
Then Tommy he snatched it, and eter he fought
(Tis sad and distressing to tel)
And Archy held on with his might and his MAN,
Till out of his fingers it fell.
Away from the quarrelsome urchins it flew,
And then down a green little hill
That apple it rolled, and it rolled, and it rolled
AS if it would never be still.
A lazy old brindle was nipping the grass
And switching her tail at the flies,
When all of sudden the apple rolled down
And stopped just in front of her eyes.
She gave but bite and swallow or two
That apple was never seen more!

A Scurvey Scoundrcl.

Same miserable cur, who went
over the ferry Monday night,
stood on the upper side of the
boat and hacked at the rope with
his pocket knife as the boat went
along, cutting it in dozen places,
and weakening it in one place SO
that one stran parted under the
strain caused by the high wind
blowing that night. and the next
morning a delay in starting the
ferry of couple Of hours was
necessary until the rope could be
spliced.
Noreason can be assigned for
such cussedness except that the
fellow who was guilty of the act
crossed after 10 o'clock and had
to pay nickle for his ride.
A person mea n enough to do
such a thing should be thrown
into the river, if caught, and every
honest person on the boat at the
time should lend a hand to toss
him over.

COGSWELL'S CRIME.
A Lady Shot At and Wounded
in a Church at Graef-
enberg.

The village of Graefenberg, just
across the line in Shelby county,
was the scene Of a sensational
shooting affair Wednesday even.
ing. 1t seems that a young man
by the name Of Robert Cogswell
boarded with Mr.. Robert Darling
ton in Graefenberg last summer,
but failing to pay his board Mrs.
Darlington told her husband he
must send Cogswell away, as they
could not afford to keep him for
nothing. Cogswell was according
ly notified to leave, and returned
to his fathers, in this county.
Since then there has been no good
feeling existing between Cogswell
and the Darlingtons, the two men
not being on speaking terms.
Wednesday afternoon Cogswell
was in Graefenberg, and about
dusk went to the home Of Oar
lington and called him to the
door, when some words ensued
and Cogswell shot at Darlington
twice but missed him. Cogswell
then ran to the Methodist Church,
whittier Mrs. Darlington had gone
to attend prayer meeting, rushed
up the aisle with his hat on and
carrying the pistol in his hand.
When he reached the pew in which
Mrs. Darlington was sitting he
raised the revolver and fired upon
her, inflicting a flesh wound in her
left forearm. He then attempted
to shoot himself, but was prevent
ed and disarmed by some of the
men in the congregation, when he
left and went to his fathers house,
where it is said he procured a
shot gun and again tried to shoot
hims, If, but was prevented by his
father. He next came on to the
residence of Sheriff r. d. Arm
strong, near Bridgeport, and sur
rendered to that officer, who
brought him to this city and
lodged him in Jail. Shortly after
Sheriff Armstrong arrived here
with his prisoner Mrs. Darlington's
husband, father and a neighbor
reached the city in search of Cogs-
well, and told the Sheriff that if
they had found the young man
before he had chance to place
himself under the protection of the
law it would not have been neces-
sary to take him to Jail. Cogswell
was very much frightened until he
was locked up, as he evidently
feared mob violence.
AS the crime was committed in
Shelby county, he will have to be
taken to Shelbyville for trial.
Mrs. Darlington, the wounded
lady, is daughter Of DR.. George
HORNE and a cousin of Miss
V. Pollard, the plaintiff
IN the Pollard Breckenridge dam
lge suit, which is exciting SO much
interest," at present.

CHRISTMAS CATASTRO-
PHIES.
Burned Faces and Bruised
Bodies.

Bodies.
Christmas was celebrated in the
usual vociferous and hilarious
manner in this city, and as il
came on Monday this year the
fun commenced Saturday and con-
tinued until Mon lay night. The
only restriction laid on the boys
by the police was that they should
not shoot pistols. dynamite or guns
on the street, but everything else
which could make a noise was
brought out and used to the full
est extent, and as a result numer-
Gus accidents occurred.
Little Louis Meagher, second
son Of Mr.. John Meagher, and
some other boys were shooting a
cannon Monday made of an old
pistol barrel fastened on block,
using fire cracker fuses to touch
it off A heavy load was placed
in it and the fuse lighted but it
did not go off as soon as Louis
thought it ought to so he went
up AMI was bending down to see
what was wrong, with his face
within foot or so Of it, when the
cannon went off, most Of the charge
blowing out through the tube and
striking him in the face. He was
badly burned from the chin to
the edge of the hair and it is feared
he will lose his eyesight. His
father took him to Louisville Tues
day to consult DR.. Cheatham.
LATER-We are glad to know
the doctor has pro nounced his
sight all right, but says great care
will have to be taken Of it for
some time
Little Hiram Williams, son of
Mr.. Marion Williams. made him a
cannon out Of the metal shell Of a
cartridge, fastened it upon stick
and was shooting it on Monday.
Once it failed to go off at the
proper time, and he started to ex-
anime it. In doing so he brought
it too close too his face and just
then the charge exploded, burn
ing and blackening the side of his
face, but fortunately his eye es-
capped injury.
A young man by the name of
Newton Horgan, who lives near
Harvieland, came into town to
celebrate with the boys on Mon
day and became overloaded, in
which condition he walked over
the cliff on East Main street, Just
below the Arsenal, falling into the
quarry forty feet below, bruising
up so terribly that he
could not be removed to his home
for several days.

An Imaginary Treaty.


The youngest minister in the diplomatic
service of this country is credited to
Ecuador His name is Rowland Maha
uev, and he is native of Buffalo, n. Y.
He is a Harrison appointee, and, it would
appear from recent events, is young
man Of imagination.
Recently information was received at
Washington that a treaty had been nego-
tiated between Minister Mahaney and
the government of Ecuador whereby one
of the Galapagos islands, midway be-
tween Hawaii and Peru was ceded to this
country for a coaling station. Immedi
atciy following the announcement there
appeared i'm certain newspapers that make
a specially Of maritime affairs and the
needs of our new navy, long edi-
torial Endorsements of the enterprising
young minister's act. and articles showing
that in securing this valuable concession
Minister Mahaney was following the
policy of this government instituted years
ago.
But unfortunately, it appears that the
Endorsements and congratulations were
premature. The Philadelphia Ledger's
correspondent at Washington says the al
legged treaty has no existence, except in
the excited Imagination of our eccentric
minister at Quito, Mr. Mahaney."
This young man Mahaney has figured
in several cranky pieces of business since
he became an American minister Hehad
been in Ecuador only a short while when
he suddenly left and reappeared in his
~
men ''cornered" him, and to them he gave
some very extraordinary descriptions of
society at Quito. 1t might be inferred
from what he said that the staples at THAT
capital were witching black eyes, flash
ing daggers, revolutions and volcanic dis
turbances. A semi-diplomatic disavowal
of his utterances was made by the state
department, and he was given to under
stand that it would be a good idea to re-
turn to his post of duty and quit talking
so much. But he didn't so. On the con-
trary, he staid at home and ran for con-
gress-an accredited minister to foreign
country at the time-and got beaten "out
Of his boots"
Recently he returned to Quito, whence
he wrote several letters to Washington.
in which he gave minute details of the
treaty he was negotiating for the coaling
station He described the means he
had brought to bear to effect his
purpose says the Ledger
correspondent, "and at last.
it is said, cabled that the treaty had been
mailed" The treaty that was really sent,
however, turned out to be IAN unimpor-
tant convention relating to claims between
citizens of the two countries"
1t is to be presumed that Secretary
Gresham will see that this ridiculous
young man is soon relieved.
