There had beer a glorious game of

thing to tell ever a truthful story with

A business call had taken Smith to
the clubhouse and Jones, seeing him,
called him TO the table after the Others
had begun. Soon as he was seated,
being ~preuccupied by salutations from
other persons at the table that he
knew, he was absently sweetening the
cup at his elbow. when Mrs. Jones,
hoping to make the matter quite plain
to this plain man, said shrinkingly:

Sewing Machine to Cure Insomnia,

The electric sewing machine is de.
scribed as good remedy for insomnia.
A Philadelphia physician has been
prescribing 1t successfully for several
months.
Electrical sewing machines are or.
binary ones, with a small motor at.
tachment. An electric light current
runs them-they are attached to the
light as electric fans are--and In OBJ
Grafton they give forth a singularly
smooth sound.
This sound Is what makes them
good for insomnia. The victim of in.
somnia has nerves that are, as 1t were,
infiamed. He needs something that
will lull and soothe him. Certain
sounds will do this-the sound of rain
a roof, for instance, or the sound
OF a running brook. But brooks and
are not always at hand, and
hence In their stead the electrical sew.
ing machine is prescribed.

DEAL CLOSED AT LAST
Final Step in the Transfer ofthe Bap.
 tist Church Property.

The sale of the Baptist church prop erty at the corner of Jefferson street and Second avenue to Messrs. Roos and Tafel of Chicago was concluded yesterday through the agency of J. Ernest Walker. This transaction was practically concluded two weeks ago and already the purchasers have the construction of a natatorium well un- derway. But after it was thought that the transaction was finished a fact which from the earliest times had been overlooked by all the lawyers of Phoe- nix and of the territory was discovered by MT. Roos. That was that when a church sells property the case must SC through the probate court.
 In this as in all other cases applica- ton had been made to the district court for permission to sell. An order was granted and the deed was execut- d.
 It was supposed that that was thc end of the matter until MT. Roos no- ticed that the probate court figured no where in the proceedings. Then the business of the transfer was re-openet In the probate court.
 A great deal of church property ha: changed hands in Phoenix but this i! the first time the probate court ha: figured in the proceedings.
 The excavation and foundations fcI the natatorium are about done. Int building which will be finished in lit tie more than a month will cost Messrs Roos and Tafel s1OOOO. Their whole in vestinent will be about s13.G00.
