WOMEN MUST SLEEP.

Friends ask, "what is the cause ?"
aud the answer comes in plying

upon you so quietly in the beginning,
that you were not alarmed, and when
sleep deserted you night after night
until your eyes fairly burned in the
darkness, then you tossed in nervous
sgony praying for sleep.

HAPPIEsT CLASS OF PEOPLE.
Those That Enjoy Life Most Are the
Ones Who Have "Neither Riches
Nor Poverty"

In writing on 1.-THE Happiest Class Of
People," in Woman's nome Compan-
ion, John Gilmer Speed arrives at the
following conclusion: II have told you
who are the unhappiest men, and now
it is my pleasant duty to speak of the
happiest state. Solomon indicated it
in his petition: Give me neither
riches nor poverty There is in that,
as in most of the proverbs, both defini-
ton and description. Neither riches
nor poverty. / need say little more.
We all know what the alternative il
that middle state where the income
safely exceeds the expend-. ure. Then
a man can be happy-and we have a
good temper and a robust digestion
lit does not make much difference
what goes on around him. He is safe,
and for the time being at least his
family is secure. The best thing about
this happiest state is that it has
within it such tremendously large
class. It is not only a man here and
there that belongs within it; the men
are legions. In this country it en-
braces all of the great middle class.
And the very great majority of them
do not know that theirs is the hap
piest state, they do not dream how
well they are off. Some of them, be.
ing wrong-headed men, envy their
richer neighbors; some others throw
| away their valuable sufficiency in the
endeavor to get riches; some others
get riches, and then are not as happy
as they were before. Let those who
are in the happiest state continue in
it if they can, for the world at large
and the country at home has great
need for them. They constitute the
great conservative force-the forre
which prevents the democratic coun-
try from going pell-mell to smash;
they represent the solid honesty
which stands midway between the
madness of too rapid social reform
ana the Unsuitable greed o. the un.
scrupulous who look upon the whole
world as gold mine that belongs to
them by right Of inheritance or pur-
chase. Happy should be the land
where this class is very great; and ii
is greater in the United States
than anywhere else in the world"

There is more Catarrh in this section OF

gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For q great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment

N. Y. He grew up at Hammonsport,
remaining there until he was 10
years old. He was educated at Lima,

Houston at Rock Island. Ill.,, and in
1859 they were married. They lived
in the north until 1868, when Mrs.
Kinsley, who had lived in Texas be-
fore her marriage, gave her husband
such glowing account of Texas, that
he decided to see for himself. They
first came to our coast country, and
were there until 1881. when they
moved to McLennan county, and set
tied in the town of Bosqueville, where
he had been engaged in the mercantile
business until the day of his death,
May 10. 1900. He died of valvrlar
heart disease, and was buried in Oak
wood by many sorrowing friends.

HOLES IN PAVEMENT.
Repairs Should Be Made Be.
fore Accidents
Occur.
ARE SOME DANGEROUS PLACES
One in Particular at Fourth Ave.
nue. and Twenty.second
Street.

So numerous and dangerous have
breaks in the pavement grown that
complaints are constantly being en-
tered by citizens inquiring why
the municipal authorities do not
see that repairs are made before
accidents occur and more damage
suits are instituted against the
city. OF course it would take some
little time and work to 60 over all the
paving and repair it. but it would be
to the interest of the city to give
immediate attention to the more
troublesome plsces-for instance at
Fourth avenue and Twenty-second
| street and on Third avenue between
Twenty-third and Twenty fourth
streets. At Fourth avenue and TWEEN
ty-second street a depression extends
clear across the avenue. 1t will be re-
mem bered that the uperintendent of
| waterworks was removed about a year
ago because, as it was alleged. he
neglected tos make repairs there.
Later on, when Twenty-second street
was paved, it was evened up. But
more recently the paving has been
torn up at the very same place, and
now the depression is larger than
ever it was before. People unac-
quainted with the thoroughfare driv-
ing along there at night are liable to
| be thrown from their rigs and in
jured. Third avenue for block be-
low the viaduct has been compared to
the ''rocky road to Dublin 1t is
| one continuous row of holes, and if
nothing more, gives bad impression
to strangers driving into the city
over the bridge. These two places
should be attended to at once and the
others as soon as the city can get
around to them.
Placing the Responsibility.
In nearly every instance where de-
preston is found in the pavement it
can be traced to people who have been
permitted to tear up the pavement
for the purpose of laying pipe of
some kind. There should be
some provision enforced by the city
that would hold parties doing such
work responsible. They should be
obliged not only to replace the paw
ing in the same condition they found
it in, but keep it that way.
