The belief that the hours of sleep
should be artifcially restricted Is prev
alent. Yet 1t is contrary to ordinary
good sense. II the human body does
not need sleep for the upbuilding Of its
tissues 1t will not call for it. A rule
of health which can not be wrong Is
to sleep, If possible, as long as any
inclination for 1t exists. The err
roneous view on this subject is un'
doubtedly due to the fact that when
the mind and body are thoroughly
rested 1t is often difficult to arouse the
mind from It's comfortable lethargy.
On the other hand, the man who Is un'
der a mental strain and sleeps only
five or six hours at night is keen and
alert soon after awakening, But II Is
an unhealthy activity. His nerves are
at a high tension He Is on edge, so
to speak. Such a strain, long con
tinued, results inevitably in a nervous
breakdown.

For seven days he had struggled to
keep hope alive Over rugged sleeps
and through desolate, barren valleys
he had dragged his bleeding feet, try
ing to make himself believe that he
would triumph If he could only keep
on for another day. But each day that
dawned found him still wandering
alone over painless wastes where
there was no sign to indicate that
white man had ever been there before
His eyes had sunk deep into his head
his lips were drawn and cracked and
his knees knocked together at every
step he took
On the third day he had thrown
away his coat and vest on the fourth
he had parted with his trousers, and
now he stumbled and struggled on
with nothing but a pair Of boots and q
shirt to hide his nakedness. He was
indeed a pitiable sight, and with the
last shreds of reason that remained
to him he called down curses upon
the heads of the people who had made
Arizona so vast.
A hundred times he had cried aloud
for Joy as he beheld in the distance
fair cities, llmpid streams or fruitful
valleys, and a hundred times they had
disappeared, leaving red mesas where
they had been. Now he was again

INDIANS NOT DYING OUT.
More Here To-Day Nhan There Were
When columbls Arrived.

A popular impression prevails that
the Ind rs are dying dut, Those who
have given the subiecA study believe
there are more Indians to-day in the
United States than there were when
Columbus landed.
The Indians were never populous.
They were too much at war. They
roamed the prairies and hunted
through the forests, but they never
had local habtations and We're never
many in one spot.
The first actual census OF the In
dians was taken 20 years agS At
that time there were found to be 253,-
aga. Prior to that time everything had
been by guess.
Beginning with the count of 1896
the official reports of Indian popul9
ton are as follows; In 1860, at the
beginning of the civil war, there were
254 200 Twenty years later, in 1850
there were 255l l27. In 1900 there were
272,023. To-day, by count OF the lu
dian agents on the reservations OF the
country there are 2S4 900 Indians
The Indian is not dying out, and
there is no reason why he should.
The government has pursued a policy,
mistaken in many respects, but yet
calculated to give the Indian a chance
in the race of civilized life, and the
Indian is showing considerable apti-
tude. The Indians of the new state
of Oklahoma are intelligent and
wealthy, and they will. be heard from
in national affairs-Mobile Register

BRYAN IN ST. LOUIS
Democratic Leader Reached An
heuser Busch City Yesterday.

st. Louis, Mo, Sept ll.-Wilham
Jennings Bryan arrived here today
and was given an enthusiastic ova-
tion such as has been seldom witness
ed in this city. Ten bands blared a
noisy welcome when the train bearing
the distinguished Nebraskan arrived
in the station, where he was greeted
by reception committee which IN
cuded among its members Mayor ROl-
la Wells, Senator Stone and Nation
al Committeeman Rothwell. Cover
nor Folk, who played a prominent
part at the New York reception, has
been seriously i'll and was unable to
come here.
From the station Mr.. Bryan was
escorted to the jefferson hotel, where
an informal luncheon, presided over
by Mayor Rolla Wells, was served
this afternoon. About four O'Clock
a reception will be rendered Mr.. Bry-
an at the jefferson Club
The principal event of Mr.. Bryan s
visit will be his speech at the Coli
scum at s o'clock this evening, when
he is expected to define the issues for
the fall campaign in Missouri, Mr.
Bryan will be the only speaker at
this meeting.
The reception is a state affair and
has attracted thousands Of loyal fol-
lowers Of the NebraSkan from all over
Missouri. The plans for the event
were made by w. A. Rothwell, Demo
cratic national committeeman, assist
ed by Harry b. Hawes and Senator
Stone. The total cost of the recep-
ton is expected to reach $4,000.
Since the first appearance Of Bry-
an in the national political arena the
democracy of Missouri has been his
most ardent supporter AT the last
Democratic state convention reso-
luton was passed advocating the nom
ination of Bryan for president in
1908 and since then many other states
have followed Missouri's example,

that it will continue to do so.

a little girl squirrel, and she. acted
kind as II she didn't like to kill It,
