II single beds were more numerous
than they are, a great many people
would be better off. When one is
tired, sick, cross, restless, out Of sorts,
he'or she ought to sleep alone and not
communicate by proximity the NAL
aides that affect him. The brute crea-
lures when sick go away by them
selves till they die or get over their
troubles, and this instinct a great
many human beings have Those that
have it are best IL INDUCED in It, not
TO the slightest degree of neglect, how
ever. Where two children in family
must share the same room I'm great
many cases they would be better Off to
have two single beds rather than one
wide double bed. We can share a
great many things with those we love,
but solitude cllngs TO us from birth to
death We come into the world alone;
we must go out of it alone and we
live I'm 1t alone, in certain important
sense, and to get and keep our bear
ings" we must sometimes be left alone.
1t is good that we should be.-Family

At Heathheld, in England, is farm
on which still stand the remains OF
an old stone house that is said once to
have been the home OF the notorious
Jack Cade. Whether or not Cade ever
lived there can never be accurately de-
termined, but there is no disputing the
fact that he was killed in that neigh
borhood. On the main road, not far from
the ruins OF the house, stands a mon
ument with this inscription: "Near this
spot was slain the notorious rebel Jack
Cade by Alexander Iden, Esq, sheriff
OF Kent, A. ID. 14o0. His body was
carried TO London and his head fixed
upon London bridge. This is the sue
cess of all rebels, and this fortune
chanceth ever to traitors"

RIGHTS OF NAVAJO WOMAN
She Alone of All Indian squnws En-
Joys Independence.

JOYS inucpendence.
The Navajo woman. who has made
her tribe the most famous of all liv-
ing Indian races by means Of her great
ana excellent invention, the Navajo
blanket, occupies a social position Of
great independence. Her property
rights are carefully respected. She
owns much Of the wealth of the tribe,
and her children belong to her alone.
A wCvlan may have hundreds OF sheep
when she marries, and not one be-
comes the property of her husband.
Descent Is traced through the female
line. 1t is survival of the primitive
matriarchate.
The Navajo woman has no perma-
nent home. The progress Of the tribe
has been greatly impeded by its dark
superstition that every death Is caused
by Chinde, the devil, and that evil
spirits linger about the dead body. The
house is never occupied again. The
corpse is buried in the floor and the
house pulled down over II, and n Ma
vajo would freeze before he would
make n fire upon the logs OF one OF
these deserted heaps. SO the Navajo
hogan" is a poor, temporary affair, a
mere circular hut Of logs and stones,
with n hole in the roof for the smoke
and blanket for the door. In the
summer the Navajo woman loves TO
move into a brush wickiup, made Of
greasewood boughs. There she sets up
her loom in the shadow of the rocks
and lives in the open air all summer

A Quiet Place.

There are queer hooks and corners
in England yet.
A country parson went TO preach in
an old remote parish one Sunday.
The aged sexton, in taking him to the
place, insinuatingly said:
II hope yer riv-rence won't mind
preachin' from the chancel. Ye see, this
is a quiet place, and I've got a duck
sittin' on fourteen eggs in the pulpit"

No Cash In Town.

As illustrating the scarcity of
money in Porto Rico it Is related
that when government check for
5000 arrived in Manati a few DAYS
ago in payment of the towns excise
collections for the preceding month
1t caused a genuine sensation. The
city employees and their immediate
army of creditors commenced to
parade in front of the mayor, who
stood up holding the check so that
all might see. Two thousand and
torty-nine dollarsi The mayor told
the people that the check could not
be cashed, as there was not money
enough in the whole town, not even
If all the business houses combined,
for tho purpose of cashing it. He
then told them that they had to wait
for their money until some one could
go to San Juan to cash the check.
The mayor, envied by all. became
tired from holding the check in the
air, folded it, placed it in a cigarette
box, wound it with red tape and
locked it up in the safe.-Army and

A MIX Dealers Lament.

The milk dealer, who also sells
meat and other neceSsaries of life,
sighed as a customer went out indir-
nant because the dealer insisted upon
his having a receptacle for his in
tended purchase of milk. "They come
here" said the dealer, land expect me
to furnish them with milk, bottles and
all. But I've gotten tired of that sort
of game. Those bottles cost us quite
q sum, and in nine cases out of ten
where we let them go out we never
see them again, Notwithstanding the
promises of customer to return them.
Then, of course, we have to buy more
bottles. 1 was easy money so long
that the milk department of the store
was cutting into the profits. What
do they do with the bottles? Why
they use them to put up catsup and
fruit. I got after one woman that
had been working me for bottles for
some time and a search warrant
showed IS of my bottles on her pre-
serves shelves."-Detroit Free Press.

be stormy, but Mrs. Green" insisted
on going, regardless of the weather.
BY six o'clock in the evening the roads
were under several inches of mud, and
the rain was still pouring down. Mr..
Smith had his orders, however, and
obediently harnessed up his team and
drove his wife through the mud two
miles to the scholhouse.
The meeting was called to order and
the roll taken of the property owners
present, Mr.. Smiths name was called.
He responded with a mild "Here!'
His wife's name followed - 'Mrs.
SMITH" No reply, although that
lady sat at her husbands side. She
would be Mrs. Green" or nobody.
Mr.. Smith was righteously furious.
At the close of the meeting he went to
the shed for his team and drove up to
the school door. His wife came out
to join him for the trip home. AS she
gathered her skirts to step into the
rig Mr.. Smith inquired:
"Have you seen Mrs. Smith around
here anywhere?"
His wife was somewhat taken aback
by this unexpected sally, but recov-
cred herself and replied:
mo! 1 have seen no such person."
"Oh, excuse me-" continued her hus-
band. az was looking for my wife,
but if she isn't here I'll drive along
home"
He whipped up his horse and van
ished in the darkness, mud flying
from wheels and hoofs. His wife stood
for several moments looking in the
direction he had taken, too much
astonished at such an unheard-of ex-
hibition of independence to say a
word. When she came to herself the
teams had all driven away.
She had ample time to think sew
eral things as she trudged alone to-
ward home, through the mud, which
came over her ankles at every step,
and the steady downpour, which soon
soaked her to the skin.
When she finally reached home she
