on Reading In Bed.
From the Baltimore Herald. ]

ANAh NAAN baAAAAAAOAG I1NidluI
To read in bed or not TO read in bed?-
such is the question that agitates some
OF the New York papers Just now. The
Sun. always heterodox, declares boldly
for the pleasant, but costly habit, and
quotes DR.. osler as its partisan; the
Evening Journal. ever seeking to protect
the ''peepul against themselves, says
that reading in bed strains the eye and
causes headaches, defective vision, in
digestion and neuralgia.
No doubt the custom has its disadvan-
tages and it's bad effects-but hasn't
every other pleasant custom, too? Since
the day that Adam sunk his incisors into
the apple, pleasure has always been the
precursor OF pain, happiness or misery,
JOY or snrrow. peace or war health mr.
pills.
Smoking cigars causes heart disease.
Eating hot biscuit causes dyspepsia.
Late rising causes apoplexy.
Automobiling causes broken legs.
Eating terrapin causes govt.
Spending money causes appendicitis.
Drinking champagne causes headaches
Being a millionaire causes that tired
feeling.
Owning a private yacht causes sea-
sickness.
Flirting causes scandals.
All OF these things are admitted, but
nevertheless that doesn't deter the aver
age American from accomplishing the
acts mentioned whenever he can, or from
envying those who can when he can't.
Reading in bed. no doubt. tires the eyes
but after all it is obviously less danger
Gus than walking a tight rope or looping
the loop. And therefore, since it is also
one of the most solid. intellectual and
inexpensive OF designations, there is no
reason to believe that any sermon against
it, no matter how eloquent. will ever
have much effect. That being the case
why argue against It?

both barrels hastily at a rabbit which

Leon Shippers Narrow Escape from Death
Leon Shippee had narrow escape from
a horrible death on Tuesday. He was GO
ing from Jamaica to his fathers lumber
job on circuit meadows with a load of
household goods and stopped near the
White Bros mill to feed his team Hav-
ing removed the brides from the horses
he walked out on the pole to blanket
them, when they became frightened and
started to run, throwing him under their
feet and back under the forward Sled
where they dragged him a mile, until
opposite c. e. Wilder's mill, where they
were stopped by a man who ran out and
caught them When Shippee was taken
out he lay under the middle of the forward
sled and was unconscious He had the
reins i'm his hands and they were gripped
so tightly that they had to be cut before
the horses could be unhitched, The pole
of the sled had dropped down and probably
broke off soon after the horses started.
Mr.. Shippee's wife was in a sleigh which
was being drawn behind the load and
jumped out when the horses began to run.
An examination of Mr.. Shippee showed
that no bones were broken, although he
was badly bruised. He was taken to a
nearby house and on Wednesday morning
was carried to his home. He is as COM
Portable as could be expected at this
writing.
