she is hale, hearty and still has
more fun than most woman of

day was celebrated at the home
of her daughter, Mrs.J M Hays.
There were SO Mudds, little and
big present, SO that had gone

because some one chases them

shoots one for venison. It is a

chase or shoot his cattle.

husband fervently and the couple went
away happy.

MACHINERY ON THE FARM.
Electricity to Be Employed in Tighten
ing the Husbandman's Burdens.

Rightly considered, agriculture should
gain more than any other gainful occupa-
ton, because to this science most directly
and fully applies. A recent StatiSt1clan
declares that the mills of Fall River are
no longer profitable only because their
machinery is out of date-they are as well
furnished as they were ten years ago, but
their rivals have installed the latest labor
saving machinery, and this makes all the
difference between success and failure. In
the south we taught that the saving
in RECONSIDERATION or the cheapness of hand
Ia hOr with rs has ruined the cotton mills
of the east-the proposition is at least
disputed, and it is claimed that acquired
and hereditary skill with an outfit as
good would offset all other advantages
possessed by US.
much more is it true of southern farm
ing? In the west the machines have given
them a labor more easily controlled, more
efficient, and far cheaper than the old
slave system we once had; certainly we

been evolved, but the need will bring it

Their estimate of the saving in labor

at so per cent. The experimental stage

ADOPTS NEW CREED.
Theological School Discards Westmin-

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov 26.-Rev. DR..
David Schley Scharff, professor of
church history at the Western Theo-

caused considerable stir in church cir

Westminster confession of faith and
unanimously adopted a new creed.
DR.. Scharff, who recently returned
from New York. said the action was
taken last week, when the board of
directors received two gifts of 1925, 900

AWAKE FOR SO YEARS.
Brain Fever Responsible for j. G. Tin
ney's Trouble.

New York. Nov. eff it were not
for a mass of crooked and shrunken
blood vessels as large as dollar bill
on the surface of his brain, John c.
Tinney, of Manhattan, could seep. AS
It is, the last time he had a nap was
nine months ago, and that lasted only
a half-hour. For thirty-nine years the
man has not slept longer than thirty
minutes in any twenty-four hours.
For forty days and nights in 1855
Tinney lay between life and death,
raging in the delirium of brain fever.
When he had recovered he closed his
eyes for normal sleep and found that
he could get no rest His sleeplessneSS
has persisted ever since then, with only
the occasional half-hour maps to re-
store his wasted faculties. Tinney him
self wonders even more than do his
physicians that he is able to live on so
short an allowance of mental rest, but
his brain is active apparently and con-
stantly on the alert.
A doctor showed the man a human
brain, pointing out that the brain
fever had affected the covering of the
brain with its blood vessels, construct
ing them so that that part of the brain
whose function it is to suggest and
compel sleep is weakened. In the past
few weeks he has become alarmed
over increasing nervousness, and says
he fears he will go insane If he does
not obtain relief.
1t seems to Tinney that he lives IN
every tWenty-four hours twice as long
as an ordinary man. He has tried every
means to trick his senses into repose,
but failed.
Tinney is 65 years old and well pre-
served. He has charge of the billiard
parlor. of the South Ferry hotel. He
says that for the first few months of
his sleeplassness he feared insanity.
His eyes burned, and he tried cold
bandages with good results. Every
night he courted sleep by lying down
and closing his eyes. This rested his
body, but his brain was ever alert.
There would be times when a feeling
of rejuvenation told him that he had
slept. He timed his slumbers, and on
no occasion for thirty-nine years, he
says, have they lasted more than half
an hour.
whenever I did fall asleep. even
though it was for not more than thirty
minutes. felt fully refreshed" Tinney
says. Even now this wakefulness is
terrible. 1 cannot keep my brain from
reviewing all the things have seen in
my travels-and 1 build such easiest"
Tinney said with a sigh.
II spent twenty years in the west In
mining camps. and this gives me ma
terial for air castles. Many, many
nights ] have been the richest man in
the world. 1 feel dull in the morning,
but 1t wears away in a few hours, more
quickly If I take exercise in the open
air. Plenty of oxygen seems to make
UP for loss of Sleep"
Tinney's eyes have a faded, listless
appearance, like those of the blind.
He cannot use drugs or stimulants, as
they increase his nervousness.
