IN CHESS CIRCLES,

Lasker after spending Sunday with Prof.
Newcomb in visiting points of interest in
the city spent the evening at the club room
in general and reminiscent conversation
Asked by one Of the listeners II he con-
sidered Morphy the greatest of the
chess players. he expanded considerably on
Morphy's powers Of combination, foresight.
safe playing. etc, but in answer to the
direct question again he lodged. Mr.. Clin-
ton Jackson, now past eighty, the oldest
member of the club, having mentioned
meeting with one Of the old timers, c. H.
Stanley, Lasker asked a number of uues-
tions as to his chess career. and In refer
ence to one statement he laughed heartily
and exclaimed. "Gil Bias bounced by the
bishop" He stated that he was not sat
isfied with his record against the club. and
asked how Pillsbury had done. When told
that his best record was getting out with
out lost game and but three draws, he
exclaimed. "Ah! Then i told you so. See
why am not satisfied"
During the evening he gave the solution
to his clever pawn ending problem, given
elsewhere. and stated that Mr.. Reichhelm
of Philadelphia had shown him ar i'm
provement on it. by placing the white king
at Q r so. and the black king at Q 2
In that position White would take seven
moves to attain the winning position and
only, after great precision. During the
whole conversation he turned frequently
to set of checkers he had on a board be-
fore him. and exclaimed from time to
time. Now. see here. in this position

FORTY WAYS OF SLEEPING.

And Thirty-nine of Those Ways Are
Entirely Wrong.
Do you know that there are at least 40
ways Of sleeping, as there are at least

Do you know that of the 40 ways Of
sleeping one is the right way and 80 are

One man or woman gets up In the
morning rested, refreshed and ready for
the fray. Another rises feeling as tired
as on going to bed.
This tired feeling IN the morning Of
which 80 much is said by advertisers Of
medicine and by good doctors Is due In a
majority of cases to lack Of common
knowledge about the art of sleeping.
When you 50 to bed, let 80 Of all your
muscleA Relax.
Let the bed bold you and all your
weight. Don't hold on to the bed.
Don't clutch at your pillow. Don't
wind one arm around your head. keeping
that arm tired all night. In the pictures

her arm curied up in the air and is sup
posed to be resting beautifully. But she
is not resting properly, and her curlcd up

heads to keep off tropical rain.
When you go to sleep, be limp.
Don't haul your legs up into q knot
and keep the muscles of thighs and stom.
ach cramped and tired through the night.
Stretch out your legs, and il your feet
are cold wear warm wooden socks In
sleeping.
Make your spine limp above all.
The,spine is the center Of nervous and
muscular tension with those who do not
know how to sleep. The ordinary foolish
sleeper has his spine working as hard as
though he were climbing up a hill. Let
your spine give to the bed. Let It sink
down and not know during the eight
hours of sleep that 1t ever carries weight.
Don't clinch your hands.
Don't twist your fingers into knots.
Have yon seen a baby sleeping? 1t Is

cooked pancake. 1t rests. Its small. per-
spring hands are open and at rest. Its
neck is limp. Its little spine offers no
more resistance to slumber than a sau-
sage. Initiate the baby when you get
ready to sleep.
Are you bothered at night by a brain
that persists in working and will not go
to sleep? Don't try to stop the thinking
of the brain. Let 1t think about relaxa-
ton. Let it wonder just how limp 1t can
