Can You Indulge In Thiss

"During the day every one should
take a few minutes sleep, preferably
directly after the noon NEAL" writes
Edward B. Warman in The Ladies'
Home Journal. 1.-THE time given to it
may seem too precious for one in busi-
ness, but it will be more than compen-
sated for by the mental and bodily
condition that follows. Sit In an easy
chair. Lying down directly after a
meal crowds the digestive organs and
makes ones sleep restless instead Of
restful. Rest the head comfortably.
Tip the chair to a pleasant angle for
the body, not enough to have the
weight Of the body on the back.
Place the feet on a chair as high or a
trifie higher than the one upon which
you are sitting; cross the limbs at the
ankle joints, close the hands together
by interlacing the fingers, place the
feshy part of the thumbs together in
order to avoid grasping the hands too
tightly and close the eyes. Having
thus closed the circuit, it will be nee
essary to relieve yourself of all nerv-
GUS and muscular tension. Think only
Of your slow, measured breathing and
the desire for restful Sleep"

The Vanishing Weasel.

As lay stretched on the bank at the
foot Of a great maple saw weasel
run along in the brush fence some dis
tance away. A few seconds later he was
standing on the exposed root of the tree

tionless and examined the beautiful
creature minutely, till suddenly I found
myself staring at the smooth, greenish
gray root Of the maple, with no weasel
in sight.
Judging from my own experience.

nation of any chance observations Of Ell

they may be seen to dart into the bushes
or behind some log or projecting bank,
but much more frequently they vanish
with suddenness that defes the keen.

Several months ago there was some
criticism Of Col. Frost, of the South Oak.
ota volunteers, in the republican
papers based on letters received from
the soldiers in the Philippines, but the
pcpulists papers at once took up the
vindication of Frost and they believed
they had accomplished it. However,
the matter is again re-opened in a
letter written by Major Warne, of this
city, from the Philippines. 1t should
be understood that DR.. Warne was one
of the leading populists of the state
when he was commissioned surgeon of
the regiment by Gov. Lee. Col. Eros,
must indeed be pretty Dad when Major
Warne refers to him in such language
as was addressed in letter 10 Senator
Pettigrew, of which the following is an
extract:
Many OF the men have attempted to
apply for their return home and dis.
charge through military channels, but
Col. Frost has held them up. Today
the colonel called the company com
mauders together and told them they
were towards to allow their men to
request to be sent home. That they
were towards to allow their men to 90
on the sick list. For the good of all
concerned Frost should be cent to his
own regiment. he is low coutemp-
table cur-looking only to his own
interests. Selfish = in the thought
only for his good. he would gladly
sacrifice every man in the regiment for
few dollars in his pocket or q little
glory for Frost. He has no interest in
our men except to use both for his own
selfish ad dvancement.

He Worked the Grocer.

A true story Of dog found guilty
OF obtaining goods under false pre-
lenses has been recently told. The
animal is very fond of crackers, and
has been taught by his owner to go
after them himself. carrying a written
order in his mouth. Day after day he
appeared at the grocers, bringing his
masters orders for crackers until the
clerks became careless about reading
the document. One day the man came
in and complained that he had been
charged for much more crackers than
he had ordered. There was quite a
dispute over it, and the next time the
dog came in the grocer took the trouble
to look at the paper. 1t was blank;
and further investigation showed that
whenever the dog felt a craving for
crackers he hunted up piece of paper
and trotted off to the grocery store

Breckinridge said that Buchanan

1850, when Buchanan's term was near.
Ing an end, amid the gathering clouds
of war, Vice President Breckenridge
received an urgent summons to the
White House. He responded at once,
thinking that at last the president
wanted his advice on the momentous
questions then pending. When he ar

was alone, called his private secretary
and instructed him to see that they
