Those on the inside OF the railroad
business Of this country know how

good profit could be made at fare
of $40, and that the increased travel
that would result from placing the
fare at that amount would, he esti-

railroad companies could then make
good profit by carrying passengers

But Hannah slept on, aud Simpkins,
after repeated calls, prayed softly to

girls and hers in particular.
"Ill wake her up" he finally said glee-

The Story Of a Bell.

In the church tower of q little town of
Grosslaswitz, in the north of Germany,
hangs a bell, and on it is engraved its
history, surmounted by a bas.relief, rep
senting six-eared stalk of corn, and the
date October 10, 1929.
This is the story of the bell AT the
beginning of the last century the only
church bell at Grosslaswitz was so small
that its tones were not sufficient to pene-
trate to the ends Of the village.
A second bell was badly wanted, but
the village was too poor, and where was
the money to csme from? Every one
offered to give what they could, but the
united offerings did not amount 10 nearly
enough for the purpose. One Sunday
when the schoolmaster, Gottfried Hayn,
was going to church, he noticed growing
out of the churchyard wall hourishing
green stalk of corn the seed must have
been dropped there by some passing bird.
The idea suddenly struck him that
perhaps this one stalk of corn could be
made the means of producing the second
bell they wanted so much.
He waited till the corn was ripe, and
then plucked the six ears on it and sowed
them in his garden.
The next year he gathered the little
crop thus produced and sowed it again
till at last he had not enough room in his
garden for the crop, and SO he divided II
among a certain number of farmers, who
went on sowing the ears until, in th'
eighth year, the crop was so large tha
when it was put together and sold they
found that they had enough money tC
buy beautiful bell, with its story anC
its birthday engraved upon it, and cas-
of stalk to which it owes its existence

Monday night. She spoke OF the time
mentioned in Proverbs when the woman,
after gathering her maids together and
setting them at their spinning, would 60
forth and Consider the fields and pur.
chase them" and her good judgment in
real estate deals was her husbands crown
of glory. She said the women were more
reliable than the men, and the time was
coming when they would command the
higher salaries, aud then the tables would
be turned. Woman would never take
her proper place in the world until she
had become money maker as well a;
money spender.
Here is a bright idea that the Rev

The Need of Sleep.

II is difficult for one who has had no
occasion to familiarize himself with the
subject to appreciate the consequences
which attend depriving the body of the
necessary amount of sleep. The symp-
toms which follow such deprivation,
SAYS the Youths Companion, afford a
striking example of the intimate relation
of every part of the body to every other
part.
1t may be that the sufferer has been
placed in circumstances under which
sleep, owing to the demands made upon
his time By other matters, is practically
prohibited or perhaps he has nerved
himself to perform certain task in a
specified time, and does not obey the die.
tates of nature. In either event the result
is the same. The unhappy victim sud
denly finds he does not feel the need of
sleep. He may at first be inclined to
congratulate himself but this period OF
excitation does not last long, for, try as
he may, he cannot bring back sleep to his
now wornout body.
From this point the trouble rapidly in
creases. Especially is the fact demon
strated that the need of sleep is felt by
the entire system. 1t is true that the
nervous symptoms predominant, and that,
if the condition of the patient is not
ameliorated, the case soon becomes one
of nervous prostration. But every organ
of the body suffers equally with the brain
The stomach is upset, the appetite i'm.
paired-and emaciation and debility
follow.
The treatment of person suffering
from lack of sleep is unfortunately much
compromised by the efforts of the patient
himself. Under the impression that an
opiate is required he begins the systemat
ic administration of some sleep-produciDg
powder. Nothing could be more PERM
cious, as is seen when, after having tried
in turn every remedy, the sufferer finally
finds it next to impossible to obtain any
rest except by such unnatural means.
HeaIthfuI sleep is needed, and this il
to be obtained only by careful and pro
longed treatment under the guidance o
skilled medical adviser.
Opiates should seldom be administer
ell by the patient himself and never with
the object of directly producing sleep.

The Monkey Tar.

The so-called Monkey tax" Of the Com
mune of Rosenberg, in Bohemia, is surely
the most eccentric in its origin Of all sur
viying feudal imposiIions. One of the lords
of Reisenberg, in the later years Of the
Middle Ages, had a monkey bought for him
in the East, for which he paid an enormous
price. One day the monkey escaped from
the castle and fed into the woods. The
peasants. who had never seen a monkey,
supposed it to be the devil in aquasi-human
shape going about seeking whom he might
deyour, and they shot it dead. They imag-
ined they had done an act of Christian pi-
ETY. for which they deserved thanks. The
angry baron, however, was inconsolable at
the loss OF his ugly pet and imposed year
ly fine upon the peasant commune, which
it continues to pay up to the present time

The Pink Shirt.
He was a dressy youth

He was dressy youth.
There were times when silence did not
reign supreme in his vestments, but he paid
his tailor and when youth Of this day and
generation does that he should be granted
certain latitude in the matter of taste.
In addition to his love Of dress he had
another love.
1t was the sweet and tender kind that is
supposed never to wear out, nor to need even
so much as repairs.
The girl knew the usual character OF the
youth, and she rather prided herself on be-
ing the object of his choice, albeit he had
never told her so in so many words.
But words are not always necessary in
cases of this kind.
The only possible objection she could find
to him was his taste in dress, and, woman.
like, she proposed to correct that.
One afternoon he got an hour off from his
work aud utilized it by calling on her.
He meant business and he began early.
She stood him of at first, aud he wanted
to know what was the matter with him.
"Mr. Smith," she said with some degree
of hesitancy, 81 like you a great deal, but l
don't like the clothes you wear"
He looked himself over for a minute with
hurt expression.
"What, for instance 2"
"WelI, that pink shirt, she mustered up
courage to say. "Why do you wear any
thing so loud as that?'
