night. They arose and discovered
that it was 2 o'clock, but on hastily
dressing and going down to the dining
room they found breakfast ready and
waiting for them. They were greatly
alarmed Mt the condition of things, for
they at first imagined that the hired
girl had suddenly gone insane.
After few minutes, however, they
discovered that she was asleep. She
had got up, started the fire, prepared
the morning meal AMI had it ready
for serving, but was sound asleep all
the time. The only unusual thing
was her failure to put on her shoes.
They were in q quandayy as to what
course to pursue, for the girl could
not he awakened, and seemed to take
it as al affront that they should insist
that she was asleep. The gentleman
was about to summons q physician,
when the wife dashed glass of cold
water in the girls face and she awoke.
She was badly frightened over the oc.
currence, but as this was the first
time in her life she had ever exhibit
ed somnambulisic tendencies, aud as
she has done no housework in her
sleep since, the household has ceased
to be disturbed.

Charles Thompson is fisherman
who feels equal to any fish that swims.
He is proud Of the strong fight he
made with ninety-pound catfish he
caught in tine river near Tow Head
Island, says the Louisville Cou''
Journal. He caught the fish Oh

When he went out to run he did

the line in he was not left long lgnor.
ant of the fact that lie had something
OF the nature of whale. Hank Cor
don, who was also in the skiff, saw
Thompson when he made the first
lurch forward. He "'lowed some
thing was up" and spraag to his
feet, thinking that his companion was
going overheard. He caught hold OF
Thompson's feet with full dete1mln-
alton that if Thompson event by tho
board be would go with him.
In the meantime the boat was sF:i'
ming up the river at a wonderful rato
of speed, and Thompson was lying Hat
on his stomach. with the line almost
cutting his hands in two. The fish
carried the skiff about two miles up
the river and then turned down stream
with so much suddenness as to almost
swamp the boat. The fish kept the
race up for about two miles down the
river, and finally darted in toward
shore and toward a pile Of brush,
where it stopped. The skiff had been
going at such high rate Of speed that
it was run up on shore. The fish felt
secure under the brush and ''sulked,
so the two men began to wrestle with
the problem Of how to get it out.
Finally Thompson managed the
thing by jumping into the river and
seizing the fish around the body. toE
awhile it was difficult tc tell which was
the fish and which was Thompson.
Gordon had in the meantime pulled
out his scaling knife, and when the
fish seemed to be on top Gordon
reached out and cut the fish In the
gills. After that the struggle was un-
even and the fish soon yielded.

sENN's BILL VERY DEAD.
Judge Humphrey Declares 1t Uncon-
stitutional,

One Of the most interesting cases
in court this term was test case
brought to learn the validity Of the
Sem salary law. A petition was filed
setting forth that the county commits
sioners refused to allow the bill Of
the county clerk for 1926 salary for
quarter ending March 81, 1895, and
asking an appeal to the district court
to compel payment. The effect was
simply to get decision Of the court
as to the Sem law claimed to be un.
constitutional owing to its indefinite.
ness as to the time Of its taking
effect.
The Thisler law passed last winter
went into effect about April first and
it was expected that the Sem bill
would take effect, If valid, Jan. last.
So the present suit was to settle the
question whether the old law or the
Sem bill should rule during the in
term, being brought at request Of
the county commissioners that they
might know how to pay the county
officers.
Judge Humphrey heard the argu-
ment and last evening decided that
the Sem bill was unconstitutional
and void owing to its taking effect at
different times.
As it Is Mr.. Senn's sole claim to
glory during four years service as
senator from this district, its failure
to stand the test of the court does
not argue a high return for his
salary,
The following dates have been set
for the trial of leading cases in court:
