 While Mir Hanna has not got the reputation of rough riding on foot, which is the crowning glory and stock in trade for Theodore Roosevelt, he has a way of riding rough shod over obstacles that is calculated to land him m easy winner in a contest with the more showy mount.-Milwaukee News.
 The accident to the Shamrock II al- most killed the King of England, and worse still, it upset the plans for the American cup race. Now if Lawson takes the Independence over, as propos- ed, and races either one of the sham rocks, in British waters, leaving the Constitution without rival or q con test, our woe will be complete -especi- ally if the Independence fails to win.

Whether the motormen disobeyed orders or not may be mat ter of doubt, but it is certain that ter rible punishment came as the result of the attempt to gain time at the ex- pense of safety.-Hartford Post.
 It is too bad that the West Point cadets did not learn their full lesson when the Booz inquiry was on, but it seems they did not It has been found necessary to eXpel five and suspend several others for insubordination and disorderly conduct But the academy has to be run according to the laws of obedience and justice and the young man who feels that he is above these should know that he Is in the wrong place and accordingly seek q school managed on the free thought plan. When he doesn't even realize this duty he should be told to go and given alas sistance possible to make his departure speedy Such students will never be missed. On the contrary, their ab- sence will make room for others who know at least their place and their duty. Unless the military academy can be run as the people of the United States want it to be run, 1t were bet ter to close 1t and lease the grounds for picnics and excursion parties.- New Haven Union.

HOW TO BRING SLEEP.

Assume an easy position, with the hands resting over the abdomen. Take long, slow, but easy and natural breath, in such a way as gradually and gently to lift the hands outward by the action of the abdomen. At the same time slowly and gradually open the eyes so that at the end of the in spiration they are wide open and di- rectly upward. Let the breath out cas- fly and naturally, letting the hands fall inward as the outward pressure of the abdomen is withdrawn. At the same time let the eyes drop and the eyelids naturally fall by their own weight, so that they are closed at the end of the expiration. Do all this quietly and na- turally Do not make too hard work of it.
 Repeat the inspiration and expira- ton, with opening and lifting, drop- ping and closing the eyes, ten times. Then take ten breaths in the same way, allowing the eyes to remain closed. AL ternate ten breaths with opening and closing of the eyes, and breaths with closed eyes. When the eyelids begin to feel heavy, and you feel tired and sleepy as you will very soon, go through the motions more and more easily and lazily, until you merely will the motions without making any effort, or hardly any effort, to execute them. At this state, or more likely in one of the in- tervals of breathing without any mo- tion of the eyes, you will fall asleep.
 Nervous persons will have some diff culty at first in the gradual opening and closing of the eyes. They will tend to fly open, and then snap together But, as putting salt on a doves tail is sure rule for catching the dove, so this gradual and easy opening and closing of the eyes iii rhythm, with quiet, natural breathing, when once se- cured, Is almost equivalent to drop ping off to sleep. This rule induces the respiration that is characteristic of normal sleep. It tires the set of mus cles the tiring of which is one of the favorite devices for producing hypno- sis. It produces and calls attention to certain sensations of the eyes and eye lids which are the normal precursors of sleep. Finally, persons who have had difficulty in going to sleep, and staying asleep, report that this method puts them to sleep, and puts them back again when they wake up too soon.- The Outlook.

cause fainter heart. to. weaken and turn back, but Mrs. Nowel was made of sterner stuff and traveled on un- daunted toward Dawson City.
 On her arrival at Dawson she de- cided to earn her living as dress maker, and began to apply herself to her old business in the new field. She had not been long there, however, when she heard that Joseph Beck, a wealthy mine owner, was in need of 9 bookkeeper. She secured the posi- tion. Entering the office, she applied the same energy that had character ized her as a dressmaker.
 The eyes of MT. Beck were not closed to all this. Her character and disposition had won his heart, and he saw in her now not only the elements which make loving wife but those of splendid partner. So, after a short courtship he proposed, was ac- cepted, and the two returned to San Francisco in the fall of 1898, where they were married.
 After the wedding MT. Beck, with his wife and stepson, Walter s.

He owned the Old Dominion claim, which he sold at high price, and bought up claim No. Il on uold Run, for which he was offered $90,ooo. At present MT. and Mrs. Beck own a claim neighbor to one which worked $40,000 in four days, and both ex- pect great income from their new digging"
 Mrs. Beck recently visited in San Francisco, returning to Dawson Feb ruary 25. She took sleighs at White Horse and travelled 400 miles in the her husband and son in the capital of the gold fields.
 Mrs. Beck's recent trip was for the purpose of buying a country place for herself and husband, who intends selling out in about two years and again becoming resident of Califor- nia. Mrs. Beck bought a large tract of 1000 acres of land near Red Bluff, which will be conducted as stock range, Q large number of cattle al- ready having been bought.
 On the return of the Becks they will occupy palatial residence in course of construction at Red Bluff.
 Mrs. Beck has over $2,000 worth of gold nuggets made into necklaces and bracelets as souvenirs from the Old Dominion claim.

Characteristically American is the rapidity with which the change from cables to electricity was made on the Metropolitan street railway in New York city during the time between Saturday night and Monday morning. Over two thousand men were em- ployed in making the shift, as a result of which there are no more cable cars running in that city. Ten miles of steel cable were removed from the con- duits. The same motormen who oper- ated the cable cars will be in charge of the electrically operated cars which replace them. Hartford Times.
 They are more progressive in New York than they are in Connecticut. About six or eight miles north of Wa terbury the authorities have been re pairing aseventy q or eighty foot bridge for a week or more, and at last ac- counts it wasn't finished. The bridge which is used very largely Is closed to the public every morning and opened at o'clock in the evening. so that when it is most needed it cannot be used. If the rainy weather continues it will probably be late in the fall be fore the last plank is laid.

With Lodge at the head of the foreign rela- tions committee, resolution declaring the Clayton-B -Bulwer treated abrogated is to be reported and at once brought to aIvote in the senate. With the adoption of that resolution the Panama scheme would receive it's death blow. The most interesting thing about this revolt is the claim of it's promoters that Mr Mckinley is in secret sympa- thy with its object, and wishes to see congress take the action that will, in addition to killing the Panama job, force the hand of Great Britain, and show to the world that the Isthmian canal is going to be a strictly Ameri- can institution from start to finish.

TOMAS ESTRADA PALMA.
One of the Leading Candidates for President of the Nevvly-Estab-
 lished Cuban Republic.

Tomas Estrada Palma, the leading candidate for president of the new Cuban republic, has been ever asso- ciated with the cause of Cuba Libre, and was for a long time the manager of the junta in New York. His life has been an active one, spent in the service of his country and devoted to the principles of liberty and political equality he imbibed from the study ot American institutions. A native of Cuba, he is descepded from an ancient family of Castillo. He was born at Bayamo in 1895, studied law in Spain and determined when youth to free Cuba from the yoke of the dons. In 1877 he partly realized his ambition when he was elected president of the Cuban republic. He now bids fair to

There is republican revolt against the Panama tainted Hanna program for the administration of the Isthmian canal question that, with the assist ance of democrats, led by Senator Morgan, will knock out the Panama lobby, if it has the strength republi- cans of prominence say 1t has. Ac- cording to the talk in eminent republi- can circles in Washington the revolt has been thoroughly planned, and it includes the making of Senator Lodge, stanch advocate of the Nicaragua route for the canal, chairman of the senate committee on foreign relations, q position upon which precedent gives Senators Frye and Cullom prior claims. It will be easy enough to dis pose of Frye's claim, as he is president pro-tem of the senate, and is, besides, anxious to give much of his time dur tug the next session, to pushing new ship-subsidy bill; but Cullom will not be so easy to push aside, as he would like to have the honor of being at the head of the committee on foreign rela- tions. However, the republican steer ing committee. if controlled as claimed
 by the revolters, can probably per suade" him that he would better hold

Twenty years ago a young chap en- tered the employ of Brown Bros, the New York bankers, as messenger at SS a week. Now he is in jail for stealing S2O,O0o from them on salary of $3,ooo a year. It's not every boy who makes a humble start that can round out his career like that. Hartford Post.
 If he hadn't stolen he might have become the president of the concern at a much larger salary. He wouldn't now be in jail and he would have rounded out his career in the proper way. However his employers ought to be thankful that he waited twenty years. Some bank clerks get all that is hanging around loose in much less time than that,

How soldiers, even those of the reg ular army regard service in the Philip pines, is unmistakably shown by bit of official correspondence just made public by the war department. A num- Der of regulars, now in the Philippines, whose terms of enlistment will shortly expire, informed their officers that they would re-enlist, if assured that they
 would be allowed to return to the Unit ed States when the organizations to which they belong, were ordered home, and that assurance has been given in a letter from the adjutant generals of- flee, showing that the war department has full knowledge of the discontent of the men with service in the Philippines.

Print Covers for Furniture.

Covers should always be provided for furniture, to be used when sweep ing. Heavy print will last for years, or fine, close cheesecloth makes good dusting sheets. If different colors are used for the different heavy pieces of furniture and the covers are made in varying size to fit the pictures and furniture much time will be saved. Call ico bags for the ends of the curtains will also keep them from becoming soiled during the sweeping.

Last Wednesday afternoon while
Ike Lloyd'S threshing outfit were I'm
ishing up a stack of wheat for Jim
ROLAND out near Dana, the train set
fire to the wheat stubble. The fire
spread rapidly in the high wind and
in few moments reached the stacks.
The steam in the engine had almost
gone down, but the engineer, John A.
Mutt, by heroic effort, fired up by
using the bundles Of wheat that lay
on the separator and run the machine
out into cornfield in time to save it.
He went through two or three fences
and across an old road at break-neck
speed but be saved the machine. The
fire was destructive one burning up
two stacks Of unthreshed grain and
several straw piles where they had
just finished threshing. The run
which engineer Mutt made was one of
the fastest on record and proved him
capable and efficient man when it
comes to handling an engine under
difficulties.
