The Easiest way.

Sleeper, the Santa Fe stage driver,
answers questions freely and gives the
passengers a rood deal of informa-
ton that is not called for by their tick
cts. A nervous old lady was riding
down a dangerous looking trail with
him once, when she noticed Ratchet
lying in the bottom of the stage and
inquired why he carried it.
IL use the Ratchet to knock injured
passengers in the head" replied Mr..
Sleeper.
The old lady gasped with astonish-
ment and drew away from him to the
other end of the seat.
Sleeper leaned over toward her, and
in confidential whisper explained:
eve have a good many accidents on
this here line. The stages allus tip

They were about the only Indians that
ran loose at all times then, and these
had never been on a reservation and

one-half of them and drove the rest on
a reservation.
Several years after this, when I had
become well acquainted with the Co.

part of the time, 1 told the Cohattie
chief about this affair, and asked him
il he knew anything about It, Yes, he
knew all about it. 1t was he who
had been there. He had about thirty
of his men out hunting, when one of
his scouts saw us going into camp, and
riding back to him told him of it. Call
ing in his men, he brought them behind

TO CURE INSOMNIA.
Lying Awake Is Habit-You Can Breal
1t Up Yourself.

Lying Awake Is - Habit-You Can Break
1t Up Yourself.
Lying awake is often habit. 1t is
worth almost any effort to break up
such habit.
Insomnia is usually the result of one
of three things-poor circulation, indi-
gestion or mental distress. The person
who studies himself carefully will be
able to locate the difficulty and treat
himself accordingly.
For poor circulation try warm baths,
warm-water bottles, brisk rubbing,
soaking the feet and deep breathing.
For indigestion take warm drink
before retiring or when sleepless. Drink
warm water, warm milk, weak tea OF
cocoa and breathe deeply.
For mental distress mere will power
is the best. Close the eyes and as fast
as the thoughts come drive them out
Garry on in the mind house cleaning
process.
Sweet sleep and plenty of it will &c
| a great way toward keeping women
young. When sleep departs wrinkles
| come.
1t is by sleep that we gain strength
| for another day. Sleep is to the brain
and nerves what food is to the body.
Here are few simple tried rules fol-
| driving away insomnia:
Go to bed warm. Never 90 to bed
| with cold feet.
If the events of the day have been
| trying, read short, light story before
| retiring.
Leave the window down at the tor
and protect the bed from draughts.
AS soon as the body touches the bed
relax the muscles, shut the eyes and
make ready to sleep. Nothing drives
away sleep more quickly than the
thought that one can't sleep.-Phila

MATERNAL INSTINCT OF FISH
The "Mothcr Love" of other Creatures
Absent In These Beings.

The ''nrother Love" of Other Creatures
Absent In These Beings.
"The female fish has no maternal in
stincts whatever" said J. Nevin, OF
Madison, superintendent of the State
FISH hatcheries. "In fact, the fish is
the most unhuman creature in exist
ence; that is, of the animals which
have any degree of intelligence at all.
Perhaps it is well that II is so. for
II the parent fish took care of their
young as other creatures do the waters
of the earth would be filed with them
In very short time. Under natural
conditions not one egg in n million
ever becomes fish year old. AS an
example, have seen female brook
trout go up into the spawning places
and spawn their eggs and then turn
around and deliberately eat them,
"For the past few years have been
much interested in experimenting with
| bass and studying their ways. Here
| the male parent has some maternal
instincts apparently. He builds the
nest for the female, some little pocket
with gravel bottom protected from

fresh water, and then hugs or pushes
the female into it. The eggs are
spawned by the female, who swims
away and leaves them to their fate.
The male fertlizes the eggs and then
for few days watches over them,
tanning them occasionally to insure
a circulation of fresh water and keep
ing off other fish who would devour
the eggs. The male fish have been
known to follow the little fry for sew
eral days, protecting them until they
were able to care for themselves
| Il have seen school of say 1900
bass fry devoured in five minutes by
a few sun bass or perch minnows,
Under the care of the fish hatcheries
from fifty to ninety-five per cent. of
the eggs became fish fry. How many
of the fry live to be a year old or so
after they are planted in the streams
| 1t is very hard to determine. 1t de-
ponds so greatly upon conditions that
no reliable estimates can be made

The automobile is still comparatively

The automobile is still comparatively
new, so new it has not, as yet, inspired
much legislation. That is bound to
come in due time, says the Pittsburg
Gazette. A bill is to be introduced at
the approaching session of the New
Jersey Legislature which provides a
fine of $1,000 or not more than three
years Imprisonment for any intoxicat-
ed person found running an automo-
bile. An automobile is no place for
any person not in perfect possession of
all his senses. especially if he be the
chauffeur. The necessity for a special
law of this kind may be questioned, but
reckless drivers of machines may cas-
lily incite to more drastic measures.

Judge Gary, Chairman of the Board
Of Directors Of the United States Steel
Corporation, who is himself credited

quoted to the effect that that salary

that the salaries paid to the heads of

In February, 1927, relates the Boston
Transcript, Goethe, in a conversation
with his secretary, Eckermann, in
speaking of the canal which might
some day be put through the Isthmus
of Panama, said: "All this is reserved
for the future and for an enterprising
spirit. So much, however, is certain,
that if they succeed in cutting such a
canal, that ships of any size and bur-
den can be navigated through it from
the Mexican Gulf to the Pacific Ocean,
innumerable benefits would result to
the whole human race, civilized and
uncivilized. But should wonder If
the United States were to let an oppor-
tunity escape of getting such work into
their own hands"

A Navajo Vice.

The Navajo is an inveterate gambler.
Not only are there the professionals,
who live entirely by the practice, but
even the small boys are gamesters
and adapt the pictorial Sunday-school
cards to gaming purposes. Their blan-
kets illustrate gambling, and even their
account of the creation must have woy-
en- into it the story of game. Thus
Il serious and apparently native vice OF
formidable proportions at once con-
fronts the teacher and the missionary.
