Cure for insomnia.

Yesterday a friend who had heard
that 1 sometimes suffer from insomnia
told me of a sure cure, writes Willis
Brooks in the Brooklyn Eagle. EAT
pint of peanuts and drink two or
three glasses of milk before going to
bed" said he, land I'll warrant you'll
be asleep within half an hour"
Well, l like peanuts and milk, so
did as he suggested, save that 1 cut
the quantity down somewhat; and now,
for the benefit of others who may be
afflicted with insomnia, 1 feel it to be
my duty to report just what happened,
so far as | am able this morning to
recall the details.
First, then, let me say, my friend
was right I did go to sleep very
soon after my retirement. Then, a
man with his head under arm came
along and asked me if 1 wanted to buy
his feet. l was just negotiating with
him when the dragon on which l was
riding slipped out of his skin and left
me floating in midair. While I was
considering how I should get down, a
bull with two heads peered over the
edge of the well and said he would
haul me up if I would first climb out
and rig a windlass for him. So, as |
was sliding down the mountain side
the brakeman came in and / asked him
when the train would reach my sta
ton.
I'VE passed your station 400 years
ago." said he, calmly folding the train
up and slipping 1t into his vest pocket.
At this juncture the clown bounded
into the ring and pulled the center
pole out of the ground, lifting the tent
and all the people in it up, up, up,
while l stood on the earth below,
watching myself go out of sight among
te clouds above.
While I was wondering whether I
should ever meet myself again and
whether it would be quite polite to
speak to myself without an introduce
ton, the stage driver announced. that
his horses had turned to stone; and
before I had time to ask him what
he was going to do about it l discov-
cred that my legs had grown to be so
long that 1 couldn't see my feet with
out telescope.
1 was seated on a horn of the moon,
shortening my legs by tying bow knots
in them when the young woman came
out from behind the candy counter and
said she had been looking all over crea-
ton for me, and now that she had
found me she would never, never, never
let me go from her sight again. At
that instant, however, 1 looked both
ways from the middle of the bridge,
where 1 was standing, and saw a train
coming towards me from each direc-
ton. Then just before the trains met,
I looked over the edge of the basket
and saw that the balloon was upside
down, and rushing toward the earth
with terrible velocity. So l opened
the cellar door and went down stairs
until I came to the attic, where l sat
down on the bank of a broad river
and knitted a pair of wooden socks for
a rattlesnake.
Then 1 awoke and found had been
asleep almost ten minutes, all of which
assures me that there is much 90
tency, not to say versatility, in pea
ing to bed.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Record (Dem.) says:
''Mr. Bryan proposes to give his coun-
trvmen a long holiday by going to
Europe for a four months tour. He
will there learn how the people get
along without free silver"
The Columbia Is. O. State (Dem.)
says: IF Edison and Bell and Cooper
and Mergenthaler had confined them
selves to eight hours day, where
would be the chances for employment
which their inventions have given to
hundreds of thousands? The success,
the inventions. the wealth, the fame
and the human benefits which skill and
endeavor have wrought are not the
products of men who measured their
labor by the hands of the clock"
The Charleston Post Dem.) says:
Senator Depew has already express
ed the opinion that the postoffice scan
dial would benefit, rather than injure,
the Roosevelt administration and the
Republican party, and now comes the
Presidents fidus achates. Senator
Lodge, to reiterate the expression.
That promises poorly for the future, if
1t be a correct estimate. If a scandal
can be made to benefit the party then
scandal will be the order of the day
at Washington, we may be sure"
The Springfield (Mass) Republican
Qnd.) says: There is said to have
been more or less concert of action es-
tabhshed among New England cotton
mill treasurers regarding restriction of
production until the break of the cot
ton corner. They are agreed to the ex-
tent of assuring such a curtailment as
10 make the present supplies of cotton
in hand last until October, or well into
the next crop year. Most of the New
England mills will shut down from two

southern mill curtailment is becoming
extensive. This is bad for business. but

the corner. unless the mills are willing

Turned the Tables.

There is a certain theatrical manager
well known in histrionic circles as the
writer of a most illegible hand, says
Tit Bits. This gentleman was recent
ly on tour with his company, and in a
large town a tradesman asked for and
received a couple of stalls, but the
order" which was written on half a
sheet of notepaper, was so undecipher-
able that the recipient could make
nothing of it.
A friend to whom he showed it de-
clared that it looked exactly like a
doctors prescription, so a wager was
made. The paper was taken to a To-
cal chemist, who looked at it for a
moment or two made up a bottle of
medicine" and handed it over TO the
callers, saying, Half crown, pleasel''
which amount was duly paid.
And this is where the Joke came in
The chemist read the "order" at a
glance, saw that he was being hoaxed
and determined to hoax in turn. He
and his wife occupied two capital seats
in the stalls and enjoyed the play.
while he obtained half crown for a
bottle and contents costing him about
two-penee half-penny.

EXTRA SESSION LEGISLATION.

As Congress will not be called to-
gether in extra session until Nov. 9, II
is not probable that much will be &C
oompHshed before the meeting of the
regular session IN December. OF course
the chief purpose of the extra session
is to have legislation enacted APPROX
| ing the Cuban treaty which was rati-
! fed by the Senate last spring.
According to Senator Lodge the Pres
ident hopes that something will be done
in the direction of financial legislation.
What kind of financial legislation he
favors is not clearly understood, though
he seems to think he has stated his
views on the financial needs of the
country very clearly in his speeches.
Among the Republican leaders there
is cropping out the thought that un-
less there is financial legislation of a
satisfactory kind there is likely to be
trouble in the ranks of the Republic
can party. A committee of the Finance
Committee has devoted considerable
time since the adjournment of Con-
gress to the question of the kind of
financial legislation that is needed.
and it is understood that the
Committee on Banking and Cur
renoy will have a measure to offer for
the consideration of the House as soon
as Congress meets.
One of the purposes of the Aldrich
bill, which attracted a great deal Of at
tention at the last session of Con-
gress, was to get the money which is
continually piling up in the Treasury,
distributed among the people. The COM
plant is often made, particularly when
there is a scarcity of money. that the
policy that permits the accumulation
Of hundreds of millions of dollars in
the Treasury is a wrong one.
This money can of course be obtain
ed by the national banks for circula-
ton by giving the security for it
which the government requires, name
ly, government bonds. The point is
bonds are required the banks are not
likely to make much of an effort to get
deposits of government money, be-
cause there is little or no profit in such
deposits.
The Aldrich bill provides for other
security than government bonds. OF
course there is much opposition to the
bill, the point being made that if once
the way were opened for getting gov
eminent money on other security than
government bonds it would not be long
before the Treasury would be loaded up
with all sorts of securities of doubtful
value and that the government would
be the loser of large amount of money
annually.
There is a lack of harmony among
the Republicans as to what legislation
there ought to be along financial lines,
and it would not be surprising if the
extra session and the regular session
of Congress should pass without legis-
lation of that kind. It will be recalled
that Representative Cannon, who is to
be Speaker of the House, expressed the
opinion recently that no financial legis-
lation was necessary. The President
seems to be afraid that unless there
is financial legislation of some sort in
the near future the financial question
VIII become the leading one in the
presidential campaign much to the in
jury of his party.

A PRETTY GOOD POLITICIAN.

For a man who was "chucked," as it
were. into the second place on the
presidential ticket of his party in 1900
by party leaders with the hope that
if elected he would never be heard of
again in the political arena, it must be
admitted that Mr.. Roosevelt has man
aged his political fortunes with sur
prising success. 1t is doubtful if there
is another man in his party who could
have done as well under the same cir
cumstances.
He is going TO be nominated for
President. There is no doubt about
that. And it looks as if his nominal
ton would be a unanimous one. The
other day the Republican party of
kentucky indorsed him for the nOmi-
nation. But even at that time he had
perhaps the Endorsement of states that
furnish pretty nearly half of the dele
gates to the National Convention.
Up to the present he has been in
dorsed by states that send to the Ma
tionai Convention 49S delegates. The
number of delegates in the convention
will be under 1,OOO 1t will be seen,
therefore, that there is no doubt about
his nomination. The only question is,
will he be nominated unanimously?
The outlook is that he will
How Senator Platt must grit his
teeth when he sees the outcome of his
plotting. 1t was this political boss who
insisted upon the nomination of Mr.
Roosevelt for Vice President in 1900
much against the latter's will, and he
was heartily seconded by other po-
litical bosses.
