SLEEP, sASY, SLEEP.

Over the sea a Lady came,
Sleep. sleep, sweetly sleep.
Night was the beautiful lady name,
Sleep, sleep, sleep.
Her eyes like two stars shone soft and bright
Her voice like the breeze's murmur light,
Kind and gentle and lovely night;
Sleep, baby sleep.
How tender her love for each little one,
Sleep. sleep, sweetly sleep.
She softly called when the day was done,
sleep, sleep. sleep.
Dear little children heard her say,
lyon must be tired now. Stop your play
And come with me to dreamland away.
Sleep baby. sleep.
"Shut your eyes if you want to so,
Sleep. sleep. svreetly sleep.
Safe in my arms IN carry You SO,
Sleep. sleep, sleep.
Over the ocean flying fast
Earth with its cloud and storm is past.
Here IS the beautiful land IT last:
Sleep. baby, sleep.
'Such wonderful happy land,
Sleep. sleep, sweetly sleep.
Children laughing on every hand.
Sleep. sleep, sleep.
Flowers more gay than our beauties Of spring
Music more full than our birds can sing,
Sunshine and fairies and-every bright thing.
Sleep. baby, Sleep

How One Man Makes Living by Buying
Canadian Money.

How One Man Makes a Living by Buying
Canadian Money.
All through that part Of the country
(northern Ohiol there is discount of 90
cents On every Canadian dollar. OF
course Canadian money is not as much
i'll circulation as is the legal tender of
the United States, but there was enough
for his purpose. A man advertised in all
surrounding country towns that he
would redeem Canadian money for 80
cents ON the dollar. 1t was some time
before he had any results from this ad-
vertising. Ii was like the man who
stood on London bridge at midnight and
offered TO give away sovereigns. People
laughed at him. The farmers were shy.
They thought it was q swindling game
of some kind and left him severely
alone. One day man came in with $40
Canadian money. II was of all shapes
and sizes from the ) cent piece that
looks like dime to u dollar bill drawn
on tho Bank of Montreal. If he had
spent it, he could have secured SIS worth
of goods for it. My man gave him nine
big silver dollars i'll United States mon
ey for it. Before the week was out he
had exchanged United States dollars for
$3.50 worth of Canadian money. This
would give him profit of $50 wherever
Canada money is as good rs our own.
From that time un the business grad
ually increased, until today he averages
about $3.50 week. Instead of having
the farmers come to him he goes to
them and buys their accumulated saw
inss of Canada coin. They are all his
customers and know him well in the five
years they have done business together
Are you lot afraid of competition in
your business i'll case it becomes gener-
ally known l asked. No." said he,
''yuu see, it requires q comparatively
large amount of money as 4 starting
capital. Then l have TO have men in the
frontier cities who will give me United
States money for my Canada currency
l generally take trip twice year to
Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago and Buffalo,
where mako these exchanges All this
requires years of preparation, and no
outsider could step i'll and make ex-
changes with my patrons, as they have
all the money they can handle now,
even at a , per cent commission ON the
dollar. Buffalo Express.

Opening IN Umbrella With One Hand.

Not infrequently," said stroller.
you see people with their arms full of
bundles making hard work of opening
an umbrella. There is very simple
and easy way of opening an umbrella
with one hand, known to many, but

cylinder around the handle, to which
the lower ends Of the ribs are attached,

An authority on hypnotism says that
hysterical persons are very difficult to

F. Kalteyer u Son, G. Camp
bell and j. Clavin, druggists, San
Antonio, Texas, desire us to pub
lish the following extract from a
letter Of Chas, NJ. Gutfeld, of Reed
ley, Fresno Co., CAL, as they ham
die the remedy referred to and
want their customers to know
what a splendid medicine it is:
"It is with pleasure 1 tell you
that by one days use of Chamber
lain's Cough remedy 1 was relieved
of a very severe cold. Ny head
was completely stopped up and l
could not sleep at night. can
recommend this remedy" A cold
nearly always starts in the head
and afterward extends to the
throat and lungs. By using this
remedy freely as soon as the cold
has been contracted it will cure the
cold at once and prevent it from
extending to the lungs. tt

CUNEY FELL INTO A TRAP.
At Least That is What the Reed Leaders
Claim he Did.

AS the participants in the late
republican convention begin to
reach their several homes inter
views from them telling how it all
happened, and who worked it,"
begin to crop out in the local press.
Every mothers son has a different
tale to tell, more or less fairy like,
but usually colored so as to give
the narrator credit for what hap
pened to either side. The most re-
markable of these tales, however,
is one to the effect that DIR. Clifford
of San Antonio, was the ruling
spirit of the Quincy convention Gre
dentials committee. The "Dock,"
who was one OF the Galveston
mans most servile lieutenants, as
soon as he reached home hunted
up the reporter for his county
paper and told him how he ran
things up here, with the result
that yesterday the aforesaid county
paper came out with a nice little
piece telling what a conspicuous
part those eminent San Antonians,
G. G. Clifford, f. H. Terrell and
w. E. Easton (col.), and "MeXi-
can" Ellis yellow, had played in
the convention. "Dock" Cliff
ford, especially, so the "piece"
reads, did splendid work.
Now, the truth about it is this {:
Clifford was Cuney's mouthpiece
on the credentials committee and
wanted to unseat Reedites as we'll
as McKinleyites wherever there
was a contest with Allisonites.
Especially was this so in the case
Of the Hancock (Reed) delegates
from the different counties in the
in the Ninth congressional district,
but Bill McDougald, who was
chairman of the committee forth
with and Immediately informed
Clifford that il be didn't sing
low every Allisonite delegation.
and they were mighty scarce,
would be unseated. Further than
that, even, Bill said:
"By Cd, I'll unseat you San
Antonio Cunoy fellows II you mon.
key with me-" and Clifford sub
sided.
Becoming alarmed, he fastened
suit to find Quincy, and said to him /:
sLook here; that fellow Mcdonald
is the darndest fellow l ever saw.
He's knocking us out just as much
as he Is knocking the Mckinley
ties"
Cuney at once sent his man Fri.
day (Easton) to the committee
room to demonstrate with Bill. He
had scarcely opened bis mouth,
though, before the latter said:
This committee don't want to
hear from you. Get out"
Eastun insisted that it had been

deal, and posed occasionally as the
Reed leader, would not have re-
fused the craftsmanship, but he was
too friendly with Quincy to be ac-
ceptable to Ferguson, Mcdonald
and Hancock, and beside they didn't
propose for any man identified
with the Reed side to bear the re.
sponsibility of overriding the ma
jority, 80 they let Quincy have it,
and they flatter themselves that
they outplayed him in that he
very considerably cut his own
throat and saved them the trouble
Of welding the razor. Now that they
are done with him, so far as state
affairs are concerned, they propose
to go after his scalp in the national
organization, so that he will have
another opponent besides John
Grant for his seat on the national
executive committee. Whom they
will put up is not yet certain, but
IL it's a white man it will probably
be Milton Crawford; IL a colored
man Charlie Ferguson, of Paris,
may get the plum.
The Reedites figure that Mat
Quay will control the national
executive committee at st. Louis,
as we'll as the temporary organiza-
ton, and have no fears but what
they will be recognized or that
they will have any trouble about
downing Quincy.
Quincy having announced his in
tentions OF going to Washington in
a few days, Mcdonald will 60 there

1 shall not take up or confuse the

in plain English there is not four

channel across Arkansas Bar and
has not been for many years. Nine
feet OF scant at mean low water is
all that can be claimed or has
been on the bar since the COM
mencement to build the rock
