How Do You Sleep?

A school for sleep is the latest no
ton. Herein are pupils to be taught
the art of slumbering gracefully and
in such a way that the sleeper shall
not only look we'll whilst in repose,
but shall unfailingly awake good tenn,
pered, energetic, cheerful and agree
able in appearance. Ladies are to be
taught how best to arrange the hair
so that asleep and awake it shall look
becoming, and they are also to be
trained in the art of composing their
limbs. Of course, snoring is to be cur
ed, and the disfiguring habit of Sleep
ing open-mouthed is at once checked.
In course of time, at this rate, we
ought really to be the most beautiful
race in the world. The only difficulty
one perceives in the way of these Won
derful methods of identifying is that
there are only a certain number of
hours in each day, and by the time
one has had lessons in this and that
taken prescribed exercises, lectures
and so on, there will be no time left
to live and enjoy oneself.-Philadel-
phia Inquirer.

Table Man. 4rs.

The blue jay is greedy bird 1 often

When crumbs are scattered from our uoor'
he snatches all the treat.
He drives the smaller birds away, his man
ners are SO rude.
It's quite a shocking thing to see him goDDIe
down his food
And sometimes, when I'm not polite, near
my mother say.
why, now [ see a little boy who's eating
blue-jay way -
The sparrows are noisy set and very quar-
relsome,
Because each hungry little bird desires the
biggest crumb.
They scold and fight about the food, all
chirping, Me Me Me y
And sometimes, when we children are in
cllned to disagree
About the sharing of a treat, my mother
says, why, you
Are acting now the very way the silly spar
rows do! y
The jolly little chickadees are perfectly po-
lite:
They never snatch, they never bolt, they
never, never fight
They hold the crumbs down daintily with
both their little feet,
And peck off tiny little bites-we love to
watch them eat,
And, when my sisters good at meals, my
mother says, Il see
little girl who's eating like a darling

Her Curiosity is Punished.


There was no doubt about it, Ed
mas nose turned up. Father insisted
it was retrousse (Which is French),
but mother was honest enough to call
it pug.
Ever since Edna had been a wee bit
of baby, her nose had caused her
heap of trouble. "A child with a nose
like that is sure to be in all sorts of
mischief" said the nurse. and future
events had proved that what the nurse
said was true.
If there was one thing about the
house that Edna was not supposed to
find out, that saucy, inquiring little
nose was sure to poke into in some
way. At Christmas time everybody's
secrets were completely spoiled. If
queer shaped packages arrived all the
other children contented themselves
with looking at the outside. Edna led
by her nose no doubt, more than
looked. She felt, and with the feeling,
knowledge was easy.
When Edna was eight years old she
was cured of her troublesome habit Of
prying into things. The cure was
brought about in such funny way.
Who do you think succeeded when
mother and every one else had given
up? No less a person than Jack
Frost, and all he had to help him was
an innocent little icicle. The icicle
hung from one corner of the porch. 1t

other icicle. Jack Frost, however,
chose it because it had learned long
ago to do exactly as 1t was told.
Most people think Jack Frost has
nothing in the world to do but to nip
fingers and pinch toes. These past
sport, but the fairies sometimes call
on Jack Frost for more serious and
important business.
The fairies we're very much worried
about Edna's inquisitiveness. Inquis-
itiveness, you know, means trying to
find out things for yourself. 1t is a
very good quality sometimes, but with
the heroine of this story it was any
thing but good. After Christmas was
over, and all the fairies that help to
make Christmas such happy time
were rested, they turned their atten-
ton to correcting little folks of habits
which they knew would cause them a
great deal Of trouble when they grew
up. Knowing Ednas love of fun and
her blessed ability to see the jolly
side of everything, the fairies called
Jack Frost to them. They explained
what they wanted him to do. Jack

Means to Happiness.

Prof. Paul Reinich of the University
of Wisconsin said to the American
Political association that I'VE have
been telling the Filipinos that if they
learn English and vote they will be
happy" Perhaps Professor Reinich
has been telling them that, but he
ought not to say I'VE" on account Of
himself alone. Most Americans know
that voting and speaking English ars
not infallible means to happiness.-

understood them all right-for he's a
sharp little fellow. He twinkled his
merry eyes, and slapping his snow
covered breeches. he said "Ha! ha!
I'll make Edna see the point"
The next day dawned clear and cold.
AS soon as school was out Edna start
ed for a coast and romp in the snow.
1t is pleasant to tell that this inquisi-
tive little girl was very generous one
as well. After a few breath-catching
spins she lent her shiny new flyer" to
Alice Grey, who had no sled of her
own 1t was too cold to stand still.
Dancing up and down was all right for
awhile, but Edna soon got tired of this.
; Just then a little crackle sounded at
her feet and a section of an icicle
dropped beside her. No little girl with
a nose like Edna's could have thing
like this happen without looking up
to see where it came from. She saw
it's companion icicle hanging over the
railing of the porch, and right back OF
the iclcle was something lumpy look
ing and red. What in the world could
that be? Each minute her wonder
grew. Soon curiosity got the, better
of wisdom-to the cost of Edna-and
her nose.
The frame work that supported the
vines in summer stretched invitingly
upward. Edna decided she would
climb up and find out what that lumpy,
red-looking something was. She he
gan cautiously-then grew holder. AS
she got higher her steps were heavier,
until almost at the top-when success
was Just within reach OF her hand,
crack! crash! went the frame. Edna
wildly scrambling for something to
cling to. She looked appealingly to
heaven, but all she saw was that trall
icicle, which gazed upon her with any
thing but suggestion of help.
Mother! Oh. mother" shouted Ed
no.
Here's my time" said Jack Frost,
81 think she'll feel as well as see the
point"
And she did! That innocent look
ing icicle waited for Edna to drop. AS
she raised her head and nose to
scream, down it came right in the mid
dle-not of her forehead-but her lit
tie turned-up troublesome nose. 1t
measured the distance perfectly, for
Jack Frost is clever marksman. The
icicle followed his directions perfectly.
| 1t struck Edna's nose right at the be
ginning of the end" right where the
turn-up began.
How it did hurt! How the dirty
frozen water oozed from the wound!
Mixed with blood and tears. 1t made
Ednas face such funny sight that II
one hadn't been so sorry for her, one
would have laughed at her appearance.
AS it was. mother only kissed the
nose, dirt and all, and mildly suggest
ed that perhaps the occurrence had
been a trick of Jack Frost's to cure
her little girl of being too curious.-M'

Do Not Strike Your poa.

The best authorities agree that dogs
should not be whipped or struck
blow more severe than a slap with the
hand. A dog is intelligent and as sen
sitive to the tones of the voice as a
child. The voice, alone. is all that is
needed to reprove him. If it is neces-
sary to punish your dog, do it at the
time of the transgression, and not as
one boy did, two days after the wrong
doing.
This boy was the owner of splendid
st. Bernard, who ran away from home
on one occasion When he returned
his master cruelty whipped him, al
though neighbor demonstrated, warn
ing him that the dog did not under
stand what he had done to merit pun
ishment. when the dog goes off next
time, do you think he will come back
when he remembers that a thrashing
is awaiting him there?" angrily in
quired the neighbor.
The boy paid no attention to the
warning and when Barko went away
a week or so later. the neighbours
words came true. Barko evidently de-
cided that home with lash was worse
than no home at all. Unlike the cat
of song and story he never came
back" to the great delight of the
neighbor, who believed. that in dog
land as well as childland. goodness
should be rewarded instead of bad
ness, Observation-Disclosures News.

THE MARRIAGE INDUSTRY.

With bigamist sharks abroad in the
land, what must be done for the pie'
lection of susceptible women who have
q greater desire to get married than to
retain their savings? says the Boston
Post. should the matrimonial agency
be put on the same plane Of illegality
as the lottery, and matrimonial adver-
tisements forbidden In the same way
that lottery advertisements are forbid
den? II anything. the marriage syndi-
cate is worse than the red-light cadet
organization.
Recently, in connection with the race
suicide discussion, much has been writ
ten about the indispositon of women to
enter the married state The bachelor
girl, firm in her resolve to retain her
spinsterhood, has been prominently
featured But 1t appears that the con-
domination of her has been overdone-
that II is time to retract the advice to
get a life partner and to bring out
again the old counsel that men are de-
ceivers ever and that the prudent
young woman does well to go slow.

THE SHORT ARMY RIFLE.

II is stated, on apparently good au-
) thority, that the new short rife adopt
ed for the British army, which has been
so severely criticized as a dangerous
mistake by high military authorities,
was not the unprejudiced choice of a
committee of experts, but simply the
Difference of that body, against its bet
ter Judgment, to the opinions of Lord
Roberts.
An outspoken British critic Of the
new arm, who apparently speaks from
q position Of authority, sums up the de-
fects as follows:
Its demerits consist of an inevitable
and unnecessary loss of accuracy, due
10 it's brevity, and possibly or even
probably in loss Of effective bayonet
power, due to shortening the reach of
rife and bayonet."
Regarding the action Of both the
long and short rifles, he states they
are faulty in theory and practice. The
bolt should be front, instead of rear,
locking, and the bolt-handle projects so
much that It is apt TO catch on all sorts
Of things. The handle is awkward and
the magazine is badly placed. The ac-
tion of the rife recently adopted by
Canada is recommended as one Of the
best.

JEWISH MASSACRES
In Russia are Reported to Be Worse
Than the Armenian Massacres
of 1895.

London, Nov. 6.-Telegrams are be-
ginning to accumulate from Russia,
although the censorship is still caus-
ing delay of from "a to AZ hours and
they all indicate that the Jewish mas
sacres during the last few days are the
most atrocious since the Armenian
massacres Of 1895. All of the corre-
spondents are agreed that the horrors
were instigated and participated in by
the police authorities. Some of them,
in fact, state absolutely that General
Trepoff is directly responsible.
Every newspaper in London this
morning prints specific instances of
wanton cruelties to the Jews.
The London Daily Times in an edi-
itorial says: "The description of the
atrocities at Odessa rival in horror
the worst excesses committed by the
Turks during the Armenian massa-
ere ten years ago, and what is worse,
they bear the same horrible stamp of
official instigation beforehand. 1t is
shameful"

Thinks herriok's Majority in starr

tion Views of CARRIER,
Dick and Couch.

James A. Rice, Democratic candidate
for attorney general, in an interview
with representative of the News,
stated that it was his opinion that
Herrick will carry Stark county, but his
majority will be reduced more than
one-half of what ii was two years ago,
He said, 81 would be more surprised If
Pattison is defeated than l would be
If he carried the state by $4,000. In
regard to the city, l think that Turn
bull will be elected mayor by good
majority and also most of the Demo-
cratic ticket"
State Chairman CARRIER stated that
Pattison will be elected by $4,000 ma
jority. Senator Dick thinks that Her
rick will land the plum with ma
jority of S3,951. Charlie must have got
his slate out and figured 1t down to
the last vote. Why he put the extra
one onto the $50 is known only TO
himself. Perhaps he is the lonely one.
w. S. Couch, staff correspondent Of the
Cleveland Plain Dealer, who has been
member of the Pattison party dur
ing the campaign, figures that Pattison
will carry the state by 10000 majority
and that Stark county will go for Her
rick by 1000 majority.
Mr.. Rice has announced that he will
leave for Warren this noon, where he
will speak this evening. This will be
his closing speech In regard to the
reception received by him during the
campaign, Mr. Rice said, "All through
the south, western and northwestern
parts of the state where l have been
for the past ten days, the people turn
ed out in unusual numbers and show
ed great deal of interest in the fight
against bossism."
