Just tell 'em that you saw it in The Journal

HalI an hour passed-in silence. Again Percy moved uneasily. In the back room was a half broken-down pool table; the landlord and a fisher man guest were hammering strenuous ly at the balls Percy thought he might break into the game-that is, if he could break away.
 Dearest" said he. -'I think I'll take a little turn round I've eaten such a hearty supper that l need the exer- cisea
 Nonsense! All you need is-me!"
 The next morning at breakfast the landlord leaned over the young hus- bands shoulder Would you like to go fshing?' asked he.
 Percy's face frightened. But Mabel was on hand.
 And leave me all alone!" she ex- claimed Never"
 sIt seems strange" remarked Percy that afternoon as they walked down the corduroy road together, that you can't get away from it even here.
 From what?"
 Why, the honeymoon idea. Those gawks round the hotel are guying the life out of me; I know, by the way they act.
 She put her hand in his. Do you care?" she asked shyly. Why, think this place is lovely. It's just ideal for a honeymoon-don' you think so?'
 "Ne!"
 Mabel turned and looked at him.
 What" she exclaimed, "are you not satisfied?"
 Percy leaned disconsolately against a i tree.
 Darling" he replied, "I'm so lone- some. T." He buried his face in his l hands.
 Perhaps, dear said Mabel. you would like to go home-to- mother"
 She put her arms round him.
 "Who was right?" asked Mabel
 "You were," he cried. Darling let us leave this place at once! Give me your kind of a honeymoon"
 "And you will love me-"
 "I1l do anything you say! I'll love 1 you before hotel clerks, porters and the general public Let us hasten away from this God-forsaken place to Nj agara. where we can mingle with the crowd.
 Just three hours later lovely young woman in a pearl-colored suit and a devoted companion in frock coat and silk hat were holding hands in a Niagara express. and on the right track at last-Town and Country.

 Well, to Niagara-and Washing ton.
 But, darling, they're quite far apart and you know, it wouldn't be a real honeymoon-it would be more like a tour. Now. if we go to this quiet. out of-the-way place l have selected. we can be entirely alone. 1 can love you there to my hearts content ''

A New Theory Of Sleep.
Harper's Weekly.

An interesting and novel theory Of
sleep has recently been put forward
by DR.. Cloparede, a French scientist
who holds that sleep is positive
function not an instinct to arrest
functioning. DIR. Claparede makes
the assertion that we sleep not be-
cause we are intoxicated or exhausted
but in order to avoid such conditions
Not only are there various kinds and
degrees of sleep, but it does not
always follow exhaustion. Further
more, it is we'll known that sleep is
not proportional to the degree OF ex'
haustion, and it may be either total or
partial. In measuring the profound
ness of sleep various conditions arc en-
countered, which are not susceptible
of explanation on the toxic theory,
but which agree perfectly with the
hypothesis that it is positive nervous
function. The definition OF sleep, &C,
cording to this new theory, is q reac-
ton produced by various excitants and
is an inhibition which manifests itself
subjectively by lack of interest in
exterior things.

of the building has been torn down.
Another OF the gigantic props was
taken out this morning. 1t had been
loosened from the other woodwork
and preparations were in progress for
lowering it to the ground. While two
workmen were busy on the highest
point the timbers began to creak and
before they could do anything to save
themselves all support seemed to give
away at once, and walls, flooring and
heavy beams tumb!ed down the hill

The escape of the three men from in.

which the timbers fell about them.

Lurlng the Fierce Animals by Imi-
tating Monkey.
To call tiger the proceeding was as
fellows: The mikir, having first ascer-
tanned that tiger was in the neighbor-
hood, would climb into a we'll branch
ed, leafy tree situated near where he
supposed the tiger to be, and after hid
ing himself among the branches as best
he could would commence to initiate
the chattering of monkey and break
and drop twigs in the way that mon
keys do
Then he would let fall to the ground
a bundle of rags weighted so that the
thud when it struck the ground would
sound as if baby monkey had tum-
bled down from the tree and at the
same time would initiate the supposed
baby monkey cries. This would be the
supreme moment, for if tiger were
near it would often spring out in the
hope of swapping up such dainty
morsel as a young monkey, and then a
bullet from the gun of the hidden mikir
might find its billet in the tigers body.
By this means the mikir was said to
have killed considerable number of
tigers, and certainly the mans power
OF mimicry was wonderfully good.
The call for deer was of an entirely
different nature, the sound initiated be
ing the cry of fawn, and as this cry
sometimes attracted tigers, too, it had
to he adopted with caution, because it
was used only in open grass land, from
which the caller would not have had
much chance to escape were a tiger
suddenly to put in an appearance
