: H.re,s q worried Citizen.

This is an age OF hustle, hustle and
sweat. A man hustles from early
dawn until the katydids sing in the
twilight for three meals day and a
place in which to lie awake at night
and worry about it. If he doesn't over.
work he is called lazy, and If he does
oyerwork he goes crazy. He tolls and
saves through the days of his youth
SO that when he grows old he can wear
a silk hat and sit on the knee of lux
ury, but when his hair turns to snow
and his whiskers grow thin and gray
in life's late afternoon, he finds he.
has been yictimized and grieyously
bunkoed by his own calculations, and
that rheumatism and poor relations
have shattered all his dreams and.
punctured his long hopes. Dallas City

The old tradition that the nours Aof
sleep before midnight are hours lot
\ beauty sleep means only that late
hours take away beauty. Thousands
OF night workers will testify that eight
hours Of sleep from 10 to s is worth
ten hours taken after retiring at I
O'clock in the morning. Darkness is
the proper time for the sleep that does
the most good. It is not we'll to sleep

Ing, Their food Is carbonic acid gas.
II they can live there the room Is .
bad place for you to sleep in. Besides.
plants use up good deal Of oxygen
and give on efluyia and pollen irritat-
Ing to the human system. The sound
est sleep is during the first three or
four, hours after going to bed. This
has been ascertained by scientific en-
pertinent, though most people think
they sleep soundest Just before the
time when conscience tells them to get
up. Insomnia often comes from over
eating. "A little dieting may do more
good than lot Of doctors prescrip-
tons. More persons suffer from over
eating than from overworking. Long,
deep BREATH 6 kept UP as long as pos
sible by will power is the most gem
orally recommended remedy for occa-
sional sleeplessness. The main aim in
such cases is TO keep the mind from
thinking. This is sometimes accom-
.plished by the strain of keeping the
eye fixed on some point in the ceiling
or keeping the will fixed on the effort
not to move even the smallest muscle.
Monotony will put any man to sleep In
spite of himself. Most psychologists
ackn owledge that deep study Of any
subject just before going to sleep may
result in something like revelation
as to some phase of the subject. the
mind through unconscious cerebration
accomplishing wonders without the as
sistance of the will. Passages to be
memorized should be repeated several
times before going to bed. Sometimes
the sleeplessnss of children is. owing
to excitation of the digestive organs
In that case it is a good plan to allow
only vegetable foods at the evening
meal.

LIVING EXPENSES.
Provisions Are Cheaper Now Than They
Were Thirty Years Ago,

. s. @A6Ns
The interesting disclosure is made
that the cost of living is less in the
United States today than it was in
the 1860. Carefully compiled statistics
show that articles costing 500 then
cost SIS now. 1t is true that I. few
things are more expensive, but CON-
modities consumed generally by fam
lilies, such as breadstuffs, sugar, rice,
salt, wooden and cotton goods, boots
and shoes. and silk and rubber goods,
are considerably cheaper now than
they were thirty years ago. Ali manu-
featured goods, with hardly an exceD-
ton, are cheaper, mainly because OF
improved processes Of manufacture
which enable the maker to reduce the
cost to the lowest point, says Leslie's
Weekly. The development Of our vast
arabic territory in the west, north
west and southwest, and the striking
results Of irrigation, when applied to
what were formerly considered desert
lands, have increased our crop sup
plies more rapidly than the increase OF
population Despite the dire predlc-
lions that prices of wheat, corn and
cotton must inevitably advance be-
| cause little land remained to be culti-
waited in the west and south, the fact
is that millions of acres are still await
ing tilage. In Texas alone an area
almost as extensive as that OF the
original thirteen states is virgin soil.
The emigrant may have to go farther
and work harder to establish a home
stead in the United States, but Uncle
Sam is still rich enough to give every
able-bodied, Industrious newcomer a
chance to own a, farm. w

The whirligig Of time that event.

il possible for both Thomas Hartigan
and Susan Thompson to keep their
VOWS that prevented them for half q
century from marrying, and yet per.
mitted them only 9 week ago. TO wed
after, all. Fifty years ago Thomas
Hartigan, In . sort Of. boyish prank,
declared that he should marry in his
shirt sleeves. His bride, Susan Thomp-
son, went to the church on her we'd
ding day, never thinking that her
lover was serious In what he said.
but when he appeared at the altar
and declared that he should never
marry except In his shirt sleeves, then
she said she would never marry him
il he did not put on q coat. So there
was no wedding. All this happened
in the Cascade valley, near Renya.
Pa After winning wealth in Call.
fornia Hartigan returned to the Cas-
cade valley three years ago. Susan
Thompson was still there. They talk
ed Of marrying. but each was still firm
Ia the declaration in regard to the
shirt sleeves they had made SO years
ago. Last summer the shirtwaist man
appeared. Thomas Harticcn decided
that if he wore shirtwaist at his
wedding he would be fulfilling his vow
OF marrying in his shirt sleeves to the
letter. Miss Thompson decided that
fashion had given the shirt waist the
dignity Of a coat. and that she could
marry a man wearing a shirt waist
without breaking her vow never to
marry Tom Hartigan unless be wore
coat And so they were married,
and Tom Hartigan wore the most
elaborate shirt waist that the store
keeper in Renova could get in Phila-
delphia. So the male shirtwaist has
not lived in vain.
