Julius Was Stumped, So He Conclud-
ed to Return the Property.
81 was in Mississippi during tie car
petbag days" said the Pittsburg story
teller "and one night at hotel l was
robbed of watch and money. l found
out next day that it was one of the
colored servants, and / went to JUS
tice of the peace and swore out a war
rant. The justice was also colored
man, and he didn't seem anxious to do
the right thing. l think he was in with
the thief, though willing to give me a
show When the prisoner took the
stand, he declared that if he had stolen
anything it was while he was walking
around in his sleep. The statement
caught his honor, and he said:
"'How 20 gwine to hold pusson
sponsible fur what he does in his
sleep? Oar amt no law bout dat. If
julius dun took dat watch an money
an didn't know what he was doin, den
he's got to be discharged from Gus
tody.'
Il was pleading my own case" con-
tinued the Iron City man, "and re-
piled to the judge that the rule ought
to work both ways. If julius had tax
en- my property in his sleep, he ought to
return it while he was in the same con-
dition. | wasn't blaming him for being
somnambulist and was willing he
should go free, but l should expect him
to enter my room in his sleep that very
night and leave my lost property on a
chair. That was stumper on judge
and prisoner, and after scratching their
heads and wiggling around his honor
replied:
Julius, dis yere case has dun got
mixed up. 'Cordin to law yo' got away
wild de stuff an can't be held, but cord
in to de white mans dreambook yo's
got to walk in yo'r sleep ag'in tonight
an put yo'r stealins back in his ROOM
Dat will leabe everything jest as it
was befo', an it pears to me dat yo'd

sleep again, but handed me my proper

TEACHING A YOUNG LARK.

How It's Mother Coaches 1t to Hop
About and Fly.
j. NJ. Barrie, the noted Scottish story
writer, in Scribner's Magazine told
how young lark got its first lesson
A baby lark had got out of its nest

mother said, and showed it the way
But when the baby tried to leap it fell
on its back. Then the mother marked
out lines on the ground on which it
was to practice hopping, and it got
along beautifully so long as the mother
was there every moment to say, "How
wonderfully you hopT"
Now teach me to hop up" said the
little lark, meaning that it wanted to
fly, and the mother tried to do it in
vain. She could soar up, up, very
bravely, but she could not explain how
she did it.
"Wait till the sun comes out after
the rain" she said, half remembering
"What is sun? What is raln?" the
little bird asked. IF you cannot teach
me to fly, teach me to sing
"When the sun comes out after rain"
the mother replied, 'then you will
know how to sing"
The rain came and glued the little
birds wings together.

its eyes, for a glorious light had spread
over the world, catching every leaf

baby birds breast swelled, it did not
know why; it 1uttered from the
ground, it did not know by.

which Mayor A. w. Greedy is chairman,
on Monday evening. TIE carnival COM
mittee will cooperate with the Hancock
county fair association to give Ellsworth
people and visitors three days of fun.
At Mondays meeting committee was
appointed to consult with the fair asso-
citation as to plans. This was done, and
all arrangements In this line heve been
| satisfactorily made. Another committee
OF five was appointed to name general
committee. The general committee is as

been made, 1t is proposed to have fore
noon and evening entertainment in the

so as to give all time to get dinner and
get to the playground in time for the
excellent programme OF horse racing, and
other attractions which the association is
arranging for.

There will be fremen's muster. 1t is
suggested that the engine contests be
downtown, and the hose races at the fair
ground.
II Is too early yet to discuss plans in
detail, but 1t is safe to say that every day
will be full of amusement of some kind
from early morning until late at night.
Ellsworth has had lots OF experience in

EVOLUTION OF THE COAT.
Why There are Buttons on Back and
Sleeves.

Why There are Buttons on Back and
Sleeves.
Modern mans coat is as much a crea-
ture OF evolution as modern man himself.
All it's principal features have been grad
ualiy developed from primitive garment
that was itself the great grandson OF a
shirt OF mail, and those features have
been modified by environment, just as
they say human beings have developed
and modified since they gave up walking
on all fours and went in for polish and
politics. It's very interesting to trace
such things back, but unless you are
pretty well posted you are apt to make
serious biunders as to the origin of differ
en-. details.
"Take the two buttons above the coat
tails, for instance. They occupy precise
ly the same relation to the garment that
the veriform appendix does to a man-in
other words, we know they must have
performed some valuable function in the
remote past, but at present they are not
only useless, but are actually nuisance.
Their location brings them into constant
contact with the backs of chairs, and un-
less they are closely watched they soon
become ragged and shiny and make the
whole coat look disreputable. Like the
appendix, they are a source OF anxiety,
with no corresponding benefit.
| The early offiees OF these mysterious
buttons is quite generally believed to
have been support for sword belt,
| but this is great mistake. III you Will
look in any costume album for the court
coat of the Louis XIV period, you will
| find the skirts folded back diagonally and
buttoned to the rear OF the waist. Take
hold Of lower front corner Of your fash
ionable frock coat and draw them back
and up SO they touch the buttons, and

Relaxation is of more value than dis.
traction, pleasure or holidays. Relaxa-
ton means the freedom OF organs and
tissues from this hateful tension. How
often do we hear a hurrying woman say,
Il haven't time to rest, I've SO much to
do" Hurry and worry are physical sins.
When you feel most hurried or worried,
then is the time to relax. What is re
taxation? Simply doing nothing. Give
up; let go; surrender the nerve forces
this is the first step toward learning
how to relax. With the arms hanging at
the sides, forcibly agitate the hands until
they feel heavy, like dead weights. Shake
them forward and backward, laterally
and in circles, from and toward each 9TH
er. Shake all the stiffness out Of these
direct agents of the mind that by their
restlessness and tension report mental
strain. BY continued practice of this
simple exercise you will soon become able
TO withdraw nerve force from them at
your Withdrawal of Hygiene.
