THE LITTLE LATE SUPPER.
1t is Good for Digestion and a Cure
for Insomnia.

The old tradition that to eat any
thing just before going to bed is sure
o produce indigestion and render sleep
impossible is now happily exploded.
Something of a light, palatable nature
in the stomach Is one OF the best aids
to quietude and rest.
Some physicians have declared, in
deed, that a good deal OF the prevalent
insomnia is the result OF an uncon-
scious craving OF the stomach for food
in persons who have been unduly
frightened by the opinion that they
must not eat before going TO bed, or
who have. like many nervous women
been keeping themselves In a state Of
semi-starvation.
Nothing is more agreeable on retir-
ing for the night than to take bowl
Of hot broth, like oatmeal Cruel or
clam soup.

winter nights. when the stomach

part Of the body. Even a glass OF
hot milk is grateful TO the palate on
such occasions

That was in June, 1872. We have net met since. Van Wyck settled in New York. 1 was forced to the Pacific coast in search of health.

 Mayor Van Wyck, as I knew him, was slender youth with flashing eye and waving auburn hair, through which he ran his hand nervously from vIime to time. He was full of restless energy, always planning and schem- ing to achieve great things. He studied his law books faithfully enough and made a record Of sufficient promise in the law school. But pol itics had evidently inspired him even at that early date. He was a born ruler and manager of men.

He recognized De Costa and told him not to enter the house Staples added that he would shoot De Costa if he attempted to pass through the door. Staples got his rifle and when De Costa attempted to enter Staples fired at him, the ball causing instant death. The body fell in the entry.

New York, Nov. 3.-John Lyman. a student, 19 years old, is lowering be- tween life and death at St. Luke's hos pital from injuries received in foot ball game. Young Lyman was playing football with other students at One Hundred and Nineteenth street and the Boulevard yesterday afternoon.

CATTLE BARONS.
They Oppose the Opening of Indian
 Reservations.

Wichita, Kan, Nov. 3-The Medi- cine Lodge treaty under which the Kiowa, Comanche and Apache Indians have for thirty years held their lands in the Indian Territory, virtually ex- pired October IT, and at the coming session of congress there will be a strong effort made to have their res ervation thrown open to hom mestead settlement. Congressman J. Y. Cal Tahan of Oklahoma will lead theafght for the opening, but powerful in fluences are at work to defeat his ef- forts
 It is understood that the cattle bar ons are the great foes to the allot- ment of the lands. At present they can pasture their vast herds on the Indian reservation at trif1ing rental and the thought of losing this advan- tage is extremely distasteful. The cattlemen have. accordingly, insti- gated petition by the Indians to the federal government imploring that the lands be not thrown open.
 As a matter of fact civilization is almost impossible under the present system of tenure and allotment is practically the only remedy suggested
