THE TRUTH ABOUT 1T.
What Is the Use of Living If You Can't
BE In 1t?

BE In 1t?
Yes, Erastus, we have noticed that
article in a scientific journal advising
people to sleep more in order to live
long, and to tell you the truth we take
but little stock in it. We notice that
Tesla, the great electrician, claims that
man might live to be 200 years old If
he would only sleep most of the time.
And suppose he should. What would
man amount to sleeping like a fat dog
in the summer? For all practical pur-
poses IA man might as well be dead as
to be asleep. with this advantage in the
way of being dead-he isn't in any
body's road.
Suppose q man lived for 200 years
and slept 100 of it. He can only figure
out when the thing is through that he
has really lived 40 years, and in that 40
he neither cuts as much ice nor has half
the fun the man has who passes in his
checks at 60 and out of the 60 has only
slept 90 years. Is there any particular
object, my boy, in simply lying round
asleep for so years, wearing out bed
expenses? We think not. All there is
in life worth living for you get while
Won are awake. All the time you ought
10 SPEND asleep is just enough to enable
you to keep awake the rest of the time.
Sleep is necessary evil, just sc
much good time that you have 10 give

and other organs III fair shape. Oi
course we have read good deal about
beautiful dreams, when angels hover
| overhead and all that, but our expert
ence is that this talk is almost alto
gether rot. When you are in good phys
ical condition, you don't dream. WheI
you dream, the angels aren't in tina
vicinity. 1t is when you have filled
YOUR interior with fatted swine ant
boiled cabbage that you retire to sleep
perchance to dream. To dream-aye

The Party at the Oni-

Yesterday.
A Large Number Present.
twenty Bachelor Members Royalty
Entertain the Young Folks
Other News,

Yesterday afternoon and evening at
the Onigaming club house will long be
remembered by the little guests OF twenty
bachelor members OF the club. The third
ANIMAL occurrence OF Children's Day was
generously planned and was highly sue
oesslul in the carrying out. TIE children
and the grown ups in charge oil them
were gathered up by the pleasure barge
from nearly every dock from Closes i'll
Hancock to Dollar Bay making 1t most
convenient. The Quincy band was on
hoard and dancing was enjoyed on the
trip down.
At the club house large number OF
swings, teeters, rocking boats, etc, were
,ound provided for the little ones. There
were rattles and whistles, and peanuts
and popcorn and candy, by the dozens
and by the bushels, Amid such a wealth
Of amusements the afternoon was passed.
Az five O'Clock the BASKET lunches were
spread on the barge and on tables on
shore during which time there was con-
cert given by the Quincy band.
Al about 8 o'clock there was fine
display of fireworks shot oil from a scow
anchored out little way IRON the pier.
Among the pieces were several new and
startling and az whole the display has
not been equaled in the county Tor years
After the tirew orks few dances were
played by Weismiller's orchestra in the
Climb house especially for the children and
Then the barge started Tor home
The orchestra played during the evening
and a large number remained for dancing
Though rlou1y all day there was but a
sprinkle OF rain once or twice, not enough
to at all mar the occasion.
Az about the time the fireworks were
exhausted and it seemed that the amuse
ment and excitement for the children wal
almost at an end, the chairman OF tn
house COMMITTEES one oil the bach'ior
who had worked indefatigably all day
obigingly fell off the dock backward AM
thus prolonged the fun as much as cou''
be expected Of him. The gentlemen wh'
so genera usly conceived and carried GU
the amusement OF the children have IN
most evident pleasure OF tn IT htti
guests and the appreciation OF the mott
ers OF the same to reward them.

CLARA LEFT PENNILEss.
Fasher-in-Law OF Lord" Beresford Drops
Dead From Worry.

Dead From Worry.
Alexander Pelkey, father-in- law to
Lord Beresford, dropped dead on the
streets at Fitzgerald late Thursday
afternoon from heart disease. Two
years ago Mrs. Pelkey died OF con-
sumption and willed her fortune toher
husband, expecting him to arrange for
the protection Of their only child,
Clara, but after the sensational mar
riage of their daughter to Lord Beres-
ford at Fitzgerald last May, Mr.. Pei
key made his will, giving his own for
tune and that received from his wife
to his only brother at Westerly, Rhode
Island, with the request that he pro-
vide for Clara in case she ever gets
rid Of her "hypnotic husband" whom
she still follows in his career of crime,
utterly unable to break the magnetic
spell which he has over her.
Clara will of age next year and
would have inherited both fortunes
il she had not met and fell before
the power of Sidney Lascelles. Mr..
Pelkey has spent the past five
months defending the law suits which
Lord Boeesford has caused by claim
ing to be a partner of Mr.. Pelkey,
The last suit was compromised the
day preceding his death. The other
suits were all dismissed at the late
term of court, just adjourned.
Mr.. Pelkey's family and connections
were all Quakers and very good peo-
pie. He got more trouble on his
hands through Lord Beresford in one
day than he had previously during his
life Of sixty years. During the last
five months he mourned for his daugh-
ter, whom he had not heard from di-
rectly since Lord Beresford flight. Mr..
Pelky had been failing rapidly in
health since Clara got into the clutches
of Beresford. He worried very much
about Clara and this marriage caused
his death. Beresford's actions killed
him, but he will not get cent OF the
money. -.
The PeiKey fortunes at Fitzgerald
and in Rhode Island, since Mr.. Pei
keys recent losses, will not exceed
100000. Mr.. Pelkey's will, in which
all OF his property was left to his
brother, was executed on the 23d 81
last June, Immediately after he was
acquainted with the true character OF
his son-in-lsw. Pelkey was fearful,
so he stated at the time, that Lascelles
would have him murdered in order to
get possession OF the money.
