a Kiss That Paid,

Edward ~ had Il habit of calling
his wealthy subjects together and
asking them pleasantly what they
meant to give HIM for the mainte-
nance Of his wars. He was extreme
~ handsome, and this so won upon
a widow Of good estate that she eN-
claimed, by my faith, for your
lovely countenance' sake you shall
have f2O!" This was SO much mora
than he expected that the king kiss
ed her, wh.reupon she gave him f2u

Tough Hartland Citizens.

Deputy Sheriff !. II. Niniry OF
Windsor is receiving congratulations
for his arrest of two members OF he
Darrell family IN IIartland, a cour-
ageous bit of work in which he had
the valuable assistance of Constable

affair is Us follows:
II wa, handed a search warrant
Ian. 9th to search the BtrrcIlS' home
in iIartland. ON the Charles French

Louis \Iarrott's house. Miller AMI
| started for that place: it was ten
miles away and the roads were in
terrible condition, but we reached
there about midnight. had no
papers except the search warrant.
So of course couldn't take them.
but on entering the house found
them drunk, anil as Il peace officer |
told them they were under arrest.
The BARRELS reply was that there
were not enough officers in the state
to take them.
1--WE had Il hot fight on hand, as
they started in to do us up. but after
lively lracas we succeeded in sub
DUNG them with the assistance of
handcuffs. When the battle was
declared off the BARRELS were coop
cred and headed and both had black
eyes. Mr.. Miller was marked up
some, but | came ont with nothing
except a scratch on one hand.
1.-The next morning brought the
men before Justice W. r.. Sturtcvant,
making the following complaints ::
First, drunk second, disturbance
third, resistance. For the first the,
fine was $50 and costs. Edmnnd's
was Il third offence, fine and costs,

mans a second oilcnsc and the SEN
tencc 20 days in Jail.
"On the second complaint each
were fined $40 and costs-I5S days
each in the work-house. For the
third charge, resisting the officers,
they were put under $Icoo bonds
for their appearance at the May
term of court.
'.In the room where we had the
fight So in cash was found. The
next lav Daniel Darrell was arrested
and bound up in 5000 bonds forhisap-
pcarancc at the May term of court
and he is now IN Woodstock Jail.
"This is Il notorious gang and
for the past ten years has been the
terror Of the farmers within fifteen

opposed to the annexation Of Hawaii,
was among those who spoke against
the discussion Of the treaty in eXecu-

tiOn.

Recent statements by President
Mckinley lead to the belief that he
is trying to straddlc two horses at
once. His remark to Senator
Chandler few days ago, as reported
by the latter, that "the president
stands firmly in favor of internal
tional bmctalism as promised by
the st. Louis PLATFORM" is consider !
ed somewhat inconsistent with the
presidents remark to Henry w.
Peabody Of Boston, that he was
deeply interested in the progress of
monetary reform and DESTROYS of
prompt action by congress. There
seems to be nothing that the prcsi-
dent will not do for the sake of
peace in the camp, but If he is cor
rectly reported he is not doing much
for han mony just now.

Sleep.

Sleep ensues when tho brain is
largely ,icnuded Of blood, when GER
ebral unirmia is established. To
partly empty the brain of its blood
supply, to keep the head cool, the
body sufficiently warm and to send
the blood rather to the lower ex
tremities-this is the physical prob
lem of the sleepless. 1t is interest
ing to note hat during sleep IL great
number Of the bodily functions con.
tinue quite normally without inter
fering with sleep itself, and there

We notice in the vital statistics of

that the number of deaths generally
exceeds the number of births This
does not appear to be due to any en-

rather to their exceedingly low birth
