TO WAKE AT A CERTAIN HOUR
Processes by Which the Mind Becomes

Processes by Which the Mind Becomes
an Alarm Clock.
One Of the most interesting phases
connected with sleep ia that in which a
determination, formed overnight, that
one should wake at a certain hour, acts
true to the appointed time, says Har-
per's Magazine. In certain instances
with which l am acquainted the idea
acts perfectly; in others, it acts occa-
sionally, and in other cases again. it
this habit depends on what one may
term dominant idea," or an tndee

something akin in this waking no
ton to the dominant idea" with which
hypnottst may impress his facile
subject. If we substitute for the hyp-
notist the individual himself, or. may
hap. the idea Of the friend who has been
impressing upon him the necessity for
sounding the reveille at a given hour
In the morning we can discern the ra-
tionale of the action with fair de-
In the shape of the necessity for awak-
ing at a certain time is impressed on
the brain. and is probably transmitted
to those automatic or lower centers
which rule our mechanical acts, which
are responsible for the visions of the
night. and which are capable of carry
ing out. either in the entire absence
Of consciousness or in the exercise
of a subconscious condition, many
complex actions. Through the hours
of sleep the dominant idea remains i'm
pressed on these lower centers. The
head Of the business sleeps on while
the night Waterman is awake, and so,
prompt to the time, or shortly after it,
the slumbering brain is awakened TO
the full measure of its activity.

NO RESPEClER OF LICENSES.


A little coiored man with a big conscience
ambled into the city controllers office yes
terday and introduced himself as the "on-
luckiest Teller in town"
whats the natter" inquired Clerk Bry-
ant, as everybody, seeming a little diversion
from routine business. dropped his work
and turned attention to the newcomer.
"well. 1 understands began the unfor-
tunate one, in a down-hearted tone of voice,
II understands that all dorg licenses ex-
pires the fust Of June The clerk nodde
affirmatively.
And I understands the visitor contin-
ued. with a slight suggestion of a tear In
each of his eyes. II understands that the
law says that any Teller what's got a dorg
and amt got no license to show for him
will get pinched."
Yes assented the clerk. that's cor
rect"
And il a Teller gets a dorg just three
weeks afore the licenses expires, does he
have to get a license for the three weeks"
well. he is liable to arrest and fine If he
is found harboring a dog at any time with

And IL L has more than one dorg / pays
more than one dollar?"
"a dollar for each dog"
And gets pinched if / don't?"
You would be liable to arrest"
The little colored man looked down at the
floor in a study that was as brown as his
face. and remained in a pensive mood for
fully sixty seconds. Then ne gave vent TO
a long-drawn sigh and said: We'll, I did
want to keep 'em all mighty bad. but I can't
see my way clear to pay two license fees
for more than one of EN-" And he placed
a dollar on the counter.
You have several dogs. then?' asked the
clerk.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.


May 9.-As big a crowd as
had gathered at the opening game saw the
Hoosier worm do its contortion stunt. The
indianapolis players arose and lambasted
the ball about. Fast and loose did both
sides play, and the HOLSTERS batted the bah
where the Bisons did not. 1t was in the
second inning that the visitors put in the
rivets. Flynn ripped off a neat two-baser,
Stewart followed with a three-bagger to the
boards and Flynn came romping home.
Newton's hit landed another run, and he
came around the ring himself on Hogriev-
er's drive that settled the scoring for that
inning, and a total was amassed that was
beyond the Buffalos for the rest of the ses-
sion 1T was when Stewards second triple
came in the ninth that Pitcher Foreman.
on the coachers' line, threw his handsprings
and c%hirruped cheerfully to the birds. "Ah,
ha, ha! We have them!' he shouted glee-
fully. and to the impatient crowd, which
was slowly dispensing. he cried merrily,
Don't go, gentlemen, the game is not over"
Massey and Greminger hit the ball safely
in the SIXTH, and out Of a mass Of good and
bad plays two runs came in. President
Colt, Of the Indianapolis club, was highly
pleased, as would naturally be the case to
be expected Of the owner of the winning
club. He said: I'VE seem to have broken
the hoo1ono Score.

costs for assault and battery and 81 and
costs for fast driving. About three weeks
ago, at Sixth and Howard streets. he ran
his wagon over a fve-year-old colored girl,
Annie Butler. She is still confined to her
bed as the result of injuries received. The
case against Haiman Barrett, arrested for
violation of the ordinance requiring pawn
brokers. secondhand and junk dealers to
report all purchases, was continued until
Thursday. The police are determined that
the ordinance shall be complied with and
will arrest every violator. Arunah Comp
ton, a junk dealer at 413 North California
street. was arrested yesterday and charged
with implication in the robbery and dis
posal of the goods stolen from III. Cohen's
junk shop, on West Washington street.
Some of the goods were sold to him and he

In the Superior Court Patrick F1nnigan is
suing Robert E. Mccoy for $40 damages. The
suit is of a rather unusual character. Fin

charges against him and caused him to be
arrested and put In jail He says that Nc
Coy claimed he had taken money to the ex>
tent Of $40 that did not belong to him. He
AYERS that the charge was false. but that
Mccoy being a sharp, willy man. he was
not able TO cope with him, and paid him $5
on his representation that this was neces-
sary to keep him out of prison. The plain~
tiff says that his mind was weak at the time
and he had no attorney 10 advise him. As a
result of his trouble, he says. he broke down
mentally and was sent to the asylum for a
time. He has recovered, he says, and asks
the court to award him judgment against
Mccoy for $45.
