DRUMMER TRIED TO SLEEP,
Went to Bed Number Of Times, But
Was Still Looking for Another
Chance to Snore

Talking about Sleep remarked the
man with the tired rings around his
eyes, relates the Chicago Tribune, I'D
like to remark that last night slept in
two hotels and two sleeping cars, and
still had to get UP outside of Chicago.
"The house wanted me to look up
man down here in the southern part of
Illinois, and left Chicago for Jackson
vile at seven o'clock the next morning
and half an hour later caught train for
the little town of Virginia, where
thought my man lived. But he wasn't
there. He was ten miles away on farm,
and when driver in top buggy started
with me for the farm it was just 10 de-
grees below zero, having seen IL de-
grees below three hours before.
But even at the farm we didn't find
the man. He had gone to Chambers
vile, four miles away. We drove there
over still rougher roads, found him, and
started back for Virginia, getting there
in time for six O'clock supper The best
way back to Chicago was said to be by
way of Beardstown and Galesburg, with
the train leaving for Beardstown, 10
miles way, at $40 o'clock.
"After supper went to bed and slept
an hour and half, catching the bus
for the Beardstown train. got to
Beardstown at nine o'clock, only to find
that the Chicago train did not leave
there until 1890. II got into a hotel bus
and rode uptown, and went to bed again
for nearly hree. hours. When got back
to the station l discovered that there
was no through sleeper to Chicago
that 1t went only to Galesburg, where
it arrived at four o'clock. AS conces-
sion possible. because of connecting
trains, could sleep until 4:25, and I
should have done so if man with de-
lirium tremens handnt wakened me up
at 3:45 o'clock sharp.
"But / got into Chicago sleeper at
last, Just before five o'clock, and the way
I hammered my ear till eight o'clock was

"But maybe you think I'm not going to
sleep tonight

HIS MULTIPLICATION EASY.
EVERY Man in the Bank knew the
Saloon Keeper But They Couldn't
Afford to Speak.

The saloonkeeper stepped into the
bank to get check cashed, but the pay
ing teller gave him a cold stare Tt
would do the paying teller no good with
his superiors to recognize the saloon
Keeper, for the bank was inclined to be
particular about the habits and associa-
tions of its employees, relates Elliott
Flower, In the Brooklyn Eagle.
You'll have to be identified" said the
paying teller
'sWhat!" cried the saloonkeeper.
you'll have to be identified, . repeated
the teller calmly.
Now, see here, Charlie" exclaimed
the saloon man, IF you're joking"
Don't block the way please inter-
rupted the teller If you'll bring in
some responsible party who knows you
i'll be glad to give you the money"
Some responsible party!" repeated
the saloon man. Why, own the sa-
loon at the corner
Then you ought to have no trouble
about Identification, asserted the teller.
Trouble! Identification!" the sa-
loon man fairly yelled. why, anybody
in the bank can identify me-"
His voice carried far, and the way all
the clerks in the vicinity "got busy
was most extraordinary. There wasn't
one of them who could see him, although
he tried vainly to attract somebody's
ranybody's attention.
Then the teller leaned forward con-
&dentially.
Get the president to identify you"
he said. He's the only oneswt1Uean af-
ford to do ii"
A few minutes later the matter was
Strengthened out, but, as the saloon man
counted the money, he remarked rather
bitterly to the teller:
"The next time you want something
with little bitters in it put on the slate
you'll have to be identified. Don't forget
that. never saw you before myself I"

BOOM FOR JAPANESE SONGS

'Of course, we have not caught the

The transition is easy, as all COM
posers can palm off rejected Indian love
songs, so popular the last year, and put
Japanese titles to them. Still, there are
Jap songs published, because there are
hundreds of pretty lyrics from old Jap
anese comic operas that can be drawn
upon.
Not single Russian lyric has come

AWAKENING OF THE EARTH.
Spring in the North Temperate Zone
When the Renewal Of Life
Takes Place.

It does not all awake at the same
time, not even so small part of it as
that occupied by the United States.
Flowers bloom in California the year
round, and strawberries ripen in the
southern states in April, while in some
parts of the north the Ice still holds
the plants in It's chains, says Youths
Companion.
But for all this the spring is the sea-
son when the earth awakes in the
north temperate zone, and in that part
of it inhabited by a majority of the
population of the, United States. BY
the calendar spring begins about
March 20, and there is large part of
the country in which spring weather
prevails on that date. Somewhere
about this time the earth really re-
news its life. The brooks are unlocked
and one hears the babble of the water
instead of the tinkle OF the ice. All
the green things shoot forth and the
indefinable quality in the air which
stirs the migratory birds to northward
flight makes the blood Jingle in the
veins of men as they go about tAs
fields attending to their seasonable
tasks
When the earth wakes 1t must work.
An excellent test of a nations prog
ress is found in the skill which men
employ in guiding the efforts OF nature
in the direction which they choose. A
field will produce something; If not
grain, then weeds; If not potatoes,
then burdocl1s. It can be made to yield
useful crops just as we'll as useless
ones The prosperity OF this country
is due largely to the results OF the
wisely directed energy Of the annually
awakened earth.
Try as men will, they cannot escape
from dependence on the earth, and on
the .ever-recurfing sequence of seed
time and harvest We may direct the
natural forces, but Power beyond and
above all human understanding makes
those forces vial and performs the al
ways wonderful miracle of the resur-
-ection at the Easter OF the year

The Doctor Was Right
About His Vocal Powers

NNCE number of kindred spirits
~ were enjoying supper in the
land Of Burns. When the cloth
was removed and the usual tcasts were
proposed some one suggested song.
The efforts of the first Scotchman met
with such a hearty reception that 9TH
ers were induced to follow his exam
pie.
In the end it was found that every
one had contributed to the evenings
entertainment but the medical gentle
mGn who occupied the vice chair.
Come, come, DR.. Macdonald" said
the chairman; 1--WE cannot let you es-
cape"
The doctor protested that he could
not sing.
'As matter Of fact he explained
my voice is altogether unmusical anG
resembles the sound caused by the act
of rubbing brick along the panels of
door"
The company attributed this to the
doctors E2odesty. Good singers, he
was reminded, always needed lot of
pressing,
VERY WELL" said the doctor: "if you
can stand it / will sing"
Long before he had finished, his audi
ence was uneasy. The unwilling sing
er had faithfully described his voice.
There was painful silence as the
doctor sat down, broken at length by
the voice Of Draw Scot at the end of
the table.
Mon" he exclaimed, "your singin's
no up to much. but your veracity's just
awful. You're RIGHT ABBOTT that brick"

Some Big Flyers.

OF birds now In existence probably the
one with the greatest expanse of wing in
proportion to the body and with the
greatest power Of flight is the frigate or
man-o'-war bird, says ST. Nicholas.
This bird apparently flies more by skill
than by strength, for it has no great
carrying powers. The wandering alba
tross, the largest Of all sea birds, is also
one of our strongest flyers. One bird
was known to fly at least 8, $50 miles In
IL days. This bird was caught, tagged,
released and caught again.
