II Was Not Crane After All.

A New York man was talking
about Opie Read, author and jour
nalist. ''Read, you know" he said,
"edited the Arkansaw Traveller for
ten years or more. They say that
in the spring of'1885 a reporter for
the Traveller died. He was a fine
young chap. A visitor to the Office
the day after the funeral found the
editor and his staff talking about
their loss disconsolately.

the visitor said; "a sad loss indeed
He sighed and looked about the
room. and [ am pleased to see,' he
went on, that you commemorate
the melancholy event by hanging up

'Crape?' he said. Where do you
see any crape?'

MYSTERIES OF SLEEP.
The Time When Greatest Depth OF
Slumber Occurs.


1t is related of a Chinese mer-
| chant who was convicted of wife
| murder and sentenced to die by be-
ing deprived Of sleep that he was
placed in prison with guards
| changed hourly for the purpose OF
preventing him from sleeping. Aft
er the commencement of the eighth
day his suffering was so intense that
he implored the authorities to stran-
gle, guillotine, burn him, drown
him, garrote, shoot, quarter, blow
him up with gunpowder or put him
to death in any conceivable way.
Natural sleep has been defined as
mental rest produced by an appe-
tite resulting from fatigue, but the
idea that mental rest means me9tal
inaotion is hardly tenable, inasmuch
as it quite frequently happens that
the solution of unsolved problems is
the first thing to appear in the con-
seriousness on awakening, and thus
the mind must have been operative
while asleep.
It is commonly supposed that the
greatest depth of sleep occurs about
the end of the first hour. This,
however, is not invariably the rule,
according to my own observations
in the Cook County (Chicago) In
sane asylum, made some years ago,
when l spent two successive nights
in hourly testing the depth of sleep
by light, sound and touch. A ma
jority Of the ten cases 1 had under
observation showed the greatest
depth to be at about 8 a. m. More
recently Drs. Sante de Sanctis and
N. Neyros, at the University of
Rome, tested the depth of sleep in
four normal persons by pressure
upon the temple. One of these
showed the greatest depth Of sleep
in the second and fifth hours, while
the others showed the greatest
depth between the first and second
hours.
Talking in sleep is more common
than is generally supposed. Arm
strong and Child found in 200 stu
dents, between the ages Of twenty
and thirty years, that Al per cent
of the men and 81 per cent of the
women talked in their sleep, and
most of them could answer ques-
tions.-Harper's Weekly.

A Peculiar Book.

One of the most curious books in
the world belongs to the De Ligne
family of France. This book is nei-
Their printed nor written. All the
letters are cut out of the vellum and
interleaved with a peculiar shade of
blue paper. The work is so careful
ly done that the book is read with
the greatest of ease. Rudolphus II.
Of Germany offered 1900 ducats
for it, but it was not sold. The most
peculiar thing about this volume is
that it bears the royal arms of Eng
land, but as far as can be traced it
has never been in that country.

was composed by one of the delegat e
during the State Convention OF the
Wcman's Christian Temperance Union
recently held at LAGRANGE. 1t was
sung with great enthusiasm by the
large audience at the closing session OF
the convention. 1t embodies the as
surance that has come to the women OF
Georgia in answer to years of prayer
and is to be sung by the unions all over
the State. 1t is hoped that the mem
beers of the Marietta Union will pre-
serve these copies to be used in their

FIGHTING A PANTHER.
Cunning and Skill of the 1.-the and
Agile Brute.

Agile Brute.
1t was dark, and the windy dark
ness was full Of the mysterious
noises of the jungle. My shikari and
we're huddled silently on a plat
form built in the boughs of tree
on the edge Of the jungle. Below
US the underground was black and
still, for the moon had not yet risen.
Suddenly there was a movement as
though a portion of its blackness
had detached itself from the rest
and begun to creep away. Just at
that moment the moon rose and
revealed to us the 1.-THE body of a
panther sinking through the under
growth. A shot rang out, and with
a yelp of pain the panther disap-
peared into the bushes.
With the sunrise we descended
from the platform and began to
examine the panther's trail. The
effect Of the shot was shown by the
patches of blood on the ground,
which led US through couple Of
hundred yards of thick jungle.
After crawling on hands and knees
under the brushwood we reached
narrow nullah A little beyond
this we came upon the wounded
panther scaling a tree. | fired, but
the range was too long and the shot
proved futile. The disturbance had
the result, however, of startling the
animal into falling from the tree
to the ground.
The shikari and | followed quickly
on its track. 1t led finally to a deep
and thickly wooded nullah, which
had taken the form of horseshoe.
The panther entered the nullah at
the center Of the bend and turned
along the left arm, growing angrily
as it covered the ground in heavy
strides. We kept about twenty yards
from the nullah and skirted it along
the right until the top of the bend
was reached. Here a halt was made,
while | approached the nullah, the
panther growing away at the other
end, about 200 yards distant.
Then all was still. The animal
seemed to have vanished. Suddenly
it sprang out right from under my
feet, having doubled back along the
water course, without making the
slightest noise Caught by surprise |
1 fired rapidly and stepped back to !
avoid the animals spring and in |,
so doing fell into the nullah. The |
next moment the panther was on |
me and had fixed its teeth in my
arm.
Suddenly my little fox terrier
Toby flew at the panther and fixed
itself on its back, tearing hard at
its neck. This diversion caused the
panther to leave me to attack the
dog, and | was able to stagger up
and out Of the nullah and run to |
where the native crackers were COW
ering. There | tainted and was car
ried back to the bungalow bleeding
from fourteen wounds.-Nlissionarv

Leonard Driver, an Emmons county

Yesterday afternoon Driver was ar
rested at the Banner house by Police
man Ely on the supposition that he
was suffering from delirium tremens.
He was taken to the county Jail and
Dr.. sMahchan called and the man was
given something to quiet his mind
and put him to sleep He was very
Irrational at that time and 1T was q
question whether he was insane OF
whether his condition was caused by
liquor, of which he is said Ito hare
over INDUCED the past few days. He
was left asleep by the jailor at III
o'clock in the evening and was not
again seen until the usual morning
round was made, when Driver was
found in his cot weltering in blood
and with several ugly cuts nshis

| Driver was searched when he was
placed in the cell and no one has any

less he found it somewhere in the
| cell where it might have been hidden

previously occupied it. It is miser-
able affair of knife, consisting Of
but half a handle and a duh blade.
The authorities are of the opinion
that the man has become insane and
will be carefully watched and cared
for until decision is definitely arrived
at on this point.
i This afternoon he was in a very
bad way mentally and was under the
hallucination that someone sought to
kill him and that to kill himself was
his only mode Of escape. The sheriff

to take the medicine prescribed for

A large number of the elevators do
ing business in the state are owned
and controlled by foreign corporations
who have been doing business under
a license issued by the railroad COM
missioners and have given bonds re-
quired by law which in many in
stances have been signed by non
resident sureties. The attorney gem
eral has just rendered an important
opinion bearing on this subject in
which he holds that the bonds exc
cuted by elevator companies must be
secured by guarantee companies or
Individual resident freeholders Of this
state. - .-@E ~ .s.
He says in part: IT do not con-
slider "a nonresident a proper bonds
man on. a warehouse bond. ~.
The statute in terms does not pro-
vide that the bondsmen shall be resi-.
dents of the state, but as to the quail
fcations of services on other under
takings they are required to be free
holders and know Of no reason that
there should be an exception made in
bond given by warehouse keeper.
It seems to me that bond given by
a foreign corporation with only
foreign sureties, would be OF little
value to the residents of North Da.
kota in case it became necessary for
them to bring action on the bond, and
there would be nobody in the state to
serve with process consequently no
judgment could be rendered in this
state. @ 80
Therefore, I am Of opinion that you
have not executed the bond the
statute contemplates.
You say in your letter you are a
foreign corporation. 1 know of nc
law permitting you as a foreign
| corporation to do business in the
state of North Dakota until you shall
have filed a copy Of your, articles oil
Incorporation from the state where
you exist and received authority to dc
business as foreign corporation il

Article 46 Of chapter "a, civil code
