THE American Farmer says Argen
tina threatens to do to our cotton crop
what she has done to wheat. She has
an immense area of the finest kind OF
cotton land, and in Italy has an al
most exhaustless reservoir of cheap
labor to draw from. Our cotton plant
ers cannot begin too early to look
squarely at this alarming prospect.

Those Who Were Not Frustrated
Joined in a Mad Rush to
Escape.

CLEVELAND, o., Nov. 30.-A broken
trolley wire on Perkins avenue fell on a
Wade Park-avenue motor car this after
noon and score of passengers were Sc
verely shocked.
Several we're unable to get out of the
car and had to be carried out. The car
also caught fire.
Those who were not Frustrated by the
shock rushed for the doors, crowding over
each other and adding to the danger and
excitement. There were many ladies in
the car and in the rush for the doors they
were roughly treated.
Among the passengers was Attorney
w. II. Boyd. An hour after the accident
he was suffering from the electric shock
and was hardly able to walk.
A woman was badly injured by jumping
from the car. She was carried into near
by residence and later was taken to her
home on Quinby avenue. The accident
delayed traffic on the line for about half an
hour.

and two young daughters were de-

older bows hurried off to the nearest
town to enlist in the defense of the
country which was so dear to them.
Ben, the youngest son scarcely four
teen years old. with his heart filled
with genuine patriotism, ran away
from home, and, GLIDING pursuit, made
his way unassisted to the camp on the
Potomac.
He'll be back when he finds out that
bows of fourteen are not wanted in the
ranks" said his father, when he
learned what had become of him. But
he was mistaken, for when the little
fellow discovered that he could not en-
list as a soldier, he determined to re-
main at the front and earn his bread
by selling papers to the soldiers. His
pluck won him unexpected success, and
he was very proud to be able to send
back substantial help to the needy
ones at home.
About November 10, 1862, he left
camp between New Baltimore and
Warrenton, and made his way to
Washington for a supply of papers.
Having accomplished his object, he set
out on horseback for the thirty-mile
ride that lay between the capital and
the camp. During his absence the
union forces had changed position,
and, of the proximity OF h
eaemy, he ran into the confederate
picket-line, and he was at once con-
veyed to the headquarters of Gen. Stu
art, and from that point he was hur-
ried off to Libby prison in Richmond.
Mai. Warner was in command of the
prison at the time, and when the boy
prisoner was brought into his presence
he spoke kindly to him, and tried TO
make him as comfortable as possible

rolling his name the major asked him

SLEEP AND
It Is a Great " onder That We Sleep as
Much as We Do.

Sleep is a greater mystery than in
somnia. We hear much of the latter
state in these days. But it is more
wonderful that we sleep so well than
that we are occasionally wakeful. We
hear more of sleeplessness than our
forefathers did. 1t is a remarkable
fact that in scarcely any of the older
recognized textbooks of practice Of
physic is there any formal notice of
insomnia per Sc. In later works, and
especially in those devoted to treat
ment, the subject of insomnia does re-
caive considerable attention. And ev-
cry now and again the sleeplessness of
a great man in the world of science or
in that of politics reminds US that emf
nence has its troubles, and of a sort
which seldom affect the poor man. 1t
is probable that this evil of wakeful-
ness is more common than it used to
be-. The excitements, and especially
the worries, of life multiply. Many Of
the arrangements of society are Of a
nature to drive away sleep. Even the
very pleasures of life are so taken by
many as to rob them of one of the
greatest pleasures of allan eight
hours sound sleep; for we maintain
that this is what everybody should aim
at. 1t may seem a long time to spend
a third of ones life in leep. But if
the other two-thirds are used we'll
there is little cause for blame. No rule
for all can be laid down; but it would
be well for most people in the in
tensive days in which we live to devote
eight hours to the cultivation of the
mood and act of sleep, and to resist the
domination of all habits and fashions
that are inconsistent with this purpose.

business, and INQUIRED if he had any

business, and inquired If he had any
money or valuables concealed about
his person. Poor, frightened Ben had
managed to hide his money. about three
hundred and fifty dollars, in his boots,
but, not being used to cvading the
truth, he answered frankly that he
had. Let me have everything in Your
possession" returned the major, ex-
tending his hand as though he had no
intention of being triied with.
With q~uivering lips and fearful eyes
Ben put his hand down into his boot
leg and drew out the roll of green
backs and handed it to the major.
Then, trying to choke back his sobs,
he told of his invalid father, his over
worked mother, and the helpless little
mes at home, and explained hat the
money he carried was his soldier
brothers wages that they had intrusted
to him while in Washington, together
with his own earnings, and that it was
all to have been sent that very day to
the desolate family away off in Penn
sylvania. The major listened quietly
to the sad story and when it was fin
ished he folded the boys passes around
the money and said: when the time
comes for you to leave this place, come
to me and you shall have your money
again"
Six weeks later Ben was paroled,
and, repairing to the majors Office to
bid him good-by, the kind-hearted Off
Ger put the package into his hands,
saying: Here is your money, my
boy, and l am glad that you will soon
have a chance to send it to your moth
er. Good-by, and may God bless and
take care of you"
The little fellow took the package
gratefully, and was SCOT On his way to
his northern home. His imprisonment
had not crushed his ambition, how
ever, and after a weeks rest he re-
turned to his sid stamping ground, and
was soon going his rounds as usual.
Two of his brothers We're sent home
in pine boxes before the war closed;
but, except his brief %sOjourn in Libby,
his experience III the army vas not I'M
pleasant, and when peace was declared
he went home with enough money in
his pocket to pay off the mortgage on
the little house that had sheltered him
from infancy. lie afterwards worked
his way through college, studied law,
and in process of time took a high sta
ton in mis- chosen profession.
Several times in after years, during
flying trips to Richmond, Ben made in
quiries concerning Maj. Warner, his
prison friend, but no one seemed to
know what had become of him; so he
finally gave up the search, though he
never forgot the kindness he had re-
ceived at an enemy's hand.
In the year 1889, Ben, Hon. Ben
jamin Redmond, went by invitation to
Covington, KY, to deliver the memo
rial Grafton on Decoration day. In his
address he repeated the touching Incl
dent that had occurred at Libby prison,
and afterwards, while the old veterans
were strewing the graves of the dead
heroes with flowers, an old man came
to him and asked him to walk around
to the other side of the cemetery to
-ook at the grave in which his twin
ooys were buried. When they reached
the rose-covered grave he said: You
