JImperson was not faGdist by any
means, though he had his little peculi-
aTitics. He took a health journal for
one thing and experimental to some
extent on the family in the line of diet
and deep breathings. Where Mrs. jim
/ person could humUr her husband with
cut inconyenienCing the household tee
much she was always willing to do it.
| still, she Gemurred when her husband
insisted that all the beds in the house
should be placed north and south-that
Is, with the heads and feet respectively
North and south.
Mrs. Jimperson said 1t was quite i'm
| material to her whether she slept north
| and south or east by northeast, or south
southwest but she didn't want the head
Of the bed blocking up the door to the
closet or the foot exposed to possible
drafts from the window. However, jim
person seemed to attach so much impor-
lance to earth currents of magnetism
and the polarity of the human organism
and electrical sympathies that Mrs. jim
person gave way to his wishes.
There was one distinct advantage
about it that offset some little incOn-
veniences of arrangement and that was
that JimpersOn never complained of in
somnia after the beds were turned
around, He had been wont to entertain
Mrs. Jimperson at breakfast with ac-
counts Of the hours he had lain awake
bow he had tossed about until three or
four O'Clock in the morning. 1t APP
peared from what he said that he had
averaged about three and a half hours
sleep per night. How he ever got along
with that short allowance and still
looked the picture of robust health is
mystery After the change though, he
began to boast of the soundness Of his
sleep. His head, he said, no sooner
touched the pillow than he sank into
deep and dreamless slumber.
A week or two ago Jlmperson's aunt
came up from Ottawa to visit her Chi
cago relations. There was pretty keen
competition for that aunt, for she was
not a bad sort of person and had a toler-
able amount Of property.
Jimperson really wanted her to stay
a week, but she was not going to stay
more than two or three days. Jimper-
son drew one of them and a night and
considered himself favored
OF course, Mrs. Jimperson flew around
and got up a nice dinner and the chill
dren and Jimperson himself were on
their best behavior. The evening passed
away very pleasantly and finally the
aunt retired for the night
About an hour later Jimperson and
Mrs. Jimperson heard a sound like
mufhed thunder proceeding from the
aunts bedroom. 1t was not snoring
tar louder. was more like the sound
produced by owing heavy furniture.
What can she be doing2" asked Mrs.
Jimperson. Il expect her bed is too near
the window" she added
Cant be that, said Jlmperson. Then
be said, hesltatingly, shes a firm be-
ieVer in north-and-south sleeping.
She's very decided about that. To
tell the truth, she converted me-"
oh! said Mrs. Jimperson, Il see."
1T commended itself to my reakon,''
said Jimperson, deiiantly.
"Of course" said his wife. But it's
quite likely she's got a new idea and is
decided about sleeping east and west,
Tor ! am certain she was moving the
bed"

JAPs VICTORIOUS.
Ran the Russian Ships Out of the
Seas.

The japanese have won the
greatest naval battle against the
Russians in modern times.
Six out of eight of the battle.
ships of the Russians were sunk
and two others captured. Five
cruisers got away. Admiral Togo
did not lose ship.
Toxic, May 2O.--The fleets of
Japan and Russia met in battle in
the Straits Of Korea late Saturday
afternoon aud the armada of the
Car was practically annihilated.
Admiral Togo did not lose a ship.
The contest, begun shortly be-.
fore dusk by an exchange of
shots from the heavy guns of the
opposing b0ttleships, was followed
10y torpedo.boat attack di-
rcctcd by Togo's little destroyers
aud terminated with deadly en-
gagemcut at close quarters, lasting
the greater part Of the night.
When morning dawned three
battleships, six cruisers, a coast
defense ironclad and repair ship,
the flower Of the Russian squad
ron, were at the bottom Of the
sea, and two other battlcships and
two more coast defense vessels,
also the pick Of Roiestvensky's
fleet, had struck their colors and
were being manned by japanese
prize crews.
The remainder of the Russian
fleet. three battleships and four
cruisers, including Bojcstyensky's
flagship, the Souyaroff, all riddled
by the deadly fire of the unerring
Japanese guuncrs, were scattered
10 the four winds, scurrying
north, south, anywhere to escape
The vengeance of the relentless
ocean staghounds sent in pursuit
by the victorious Togo.
Alta single blow the hopes of an
empire were blasted The Rus
sian Navy as a factor IN Eastern
affairs has ceased to be. Russian
hopes by a turn in the tide of the
war have been shattered. Japan's
prestige us sea power is cstab-
lishcd. The fear of the cutting of
Oyama's connection with his base
is diSsipated.
The climax Of the war is believed
to have been reached.
