WoDlNG SLEEP.
"A Prescription That Worked Well In
PHILADELPHIA. 8sS51 s

"A Prescription That Worked Well In
Philadelphia. &
A haggard looking man strolled into
downtown drug store the other day
and asked the druggist for help. He
said he had trouble in getting to sleep
when he retired. No matter how
sleepy he might be during the day or
how much sleep he might have lost,
the moment his head touched the pill
low he was wide awake and lay thus
for several hours. Once asleep he was
very hard to waken, but he had to be
up at a certain hour, and in conse-
quence Of his peculiar affliction he was
losing more sleep than he could stand.
The drug clerk regarded him quiz
zically a few moments and then re-
piled:
"My dear man, you don't want medi-
cine. What you want is something to
change the trend Of your thoughts.
Do as. a friend of mine did. He was
troubled the same way and found that
the old folks plan Of imagining sheep
passing a barrier and counting them
was out of date, SO he began trying to
name all the states in the Union. He
soon got them SO he could classify
them alphabetically. Then, when they.
no longer interested him, he started on
the counties of his state. He now has
them at his tongues end, classified up
to the fourth letter. Now he is start.
ing on state capitals and their loca-
tons. Then he will take up county
seats. A moments glance at an atlas
during the day shows him when he Is
wrong, and the beauty Of the plan Is
that he rarely has to think along these
lines longer than ten minutes before
he is sound asleep. To make 1t short,
the study of geography is a good mar
cotic." Philadelphia Record. e.

Shootinu The steenhuck.

Many Of the poor Beers In the Trans
vaal, by whom all the shooting that
is done is for the pot and not for sport,
have perfected system of shooting
with the assistance of oxen. A steen-
buck has no fear of cattle and win
lie still even If they Craze right up to
him. The hunter gets together a few
cattle and with his gun walks behind
them in such way that he cannot be
seen from the front Great care has to
be exercised to drive the oxen so that
they may seem to be grazing natural
~. The hunter must be ready to shoot
without having to alter his position,

Chased From Hedge to Hedge by Big
'ESs ts Pack OF Weaseis. RI
The following extract from an inter-
esting book may be of interest to our
friends. It is From My Life ais an
Angler" by William Henderson, pub
lished in London in 1879.
"About this time, while rambling in
the picturesque lane leading from Mer-
ringtoncto iWindlestone with two other
boys, an adventure occurred sufficient
~ startling to two little fellows from
nine to ten years old. We were busily
engaged stn picking wild strawberries,
which clustered in the hedgerowB,
when we saw at about a hundred
yards distance d pack Of at least
twenty weasels running from hedge to
hedge and evidently seeming out foot
steps. 1t flashed upon us that we were
being hunted. So, springing over the
nearest hedge, we ran across pasture
field and, standing upon the farther
bank, looked back toward our assail-
ants. To our dismay we saw the whole
pack, with noses to ground, steadily
tracking our course. The word was
given, Run, rum and off we scam
pered across another field to take up
our position on another hedge. Still
the pursuit was going on, and the crea-
lures were evidently gaining upon us,
SO with a wild shout we fled to the
village, which, happily for us, was not
far off. I have frequently heard Of
persons being attacked by weasels, but
was never hunted by them on any 9TH
er occasion"
The above must have occurred about
1872, the locality being the north OF
England. Forest and Stream.

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE

Fargo, N. d., Sept. % = College
work at the North Dakota Agricul-
tural College opened Sept. 10th, with
an unusually large attendance in all
regular departments. Besides the
regular four year students there
were more, teachers enrolled in the
teachers training course than ever
before, and great interest is being
manifested in this department. BY
reason of the Nelson bill, which has
greatly enlarged the appropriation,
this work has been extended from a
two year to three year course.
This congressional aid is given to fit
the teachers for teaching mechanic
arts and agriculture in the common
schools. Students and teachers fin
fishing the three year course are CIV
en- first grade certificate, and
throughout the work is made in
tensely practical. When these stu
dents go out to take up teaching as
vocation their pupils in the rural
schools should receive great benefit
as a result of the most excellent
course offered, at the Agricultural
College. i Prof, J. G. Halland,' who
has charge of this department of the
work, is we'll pleased with this years
outlook.
The department of biology has been
greatly strengthened by the appoint
ment of Prof. T. D. Beckwith, late
ly with the department of agricul-
ture, Washington, D. G. Prof. Beck
with has been engaged to carry on
Investigations along the lines of soil
bacteriology, and he will also teach
classes in general bacteriology.
This year a new department of civ
il engineering has been established,
which will be thoroughly equipped
in every respect. Prof. R. H. Slo-
cum is in charge and comes to us
from the University of Illinois, where
he has been assistant professor in
the civil engineering department for
the past seven. years. This speaks
in no uncertain terms of what may
be expected in this new department
from the first. He is carrying on his
work in the old building until the
new is completed. .....
The North Dakota Agricultural
College offers five full graduate
courses, viz: Pharmaceutical chem
istry, Mechanical engineering, civil
engineering, general science, agricul-
tural. s 81. "...,.s> IA. 4..- i
These courses are available to
those who have completed the equi-
valent of high school training. For
those who have not had such a train
ing it offers: two year preparatory,
, two year domestic science, two year
steam engineering, two year pharm-
acy, three year farm husbandry,
three year teachers.
A complete commercial course is
offered all students and it has been
so arranged that student may take
the work thereof in addition to the
work of some other regular course.

A PHOENIX AUTHOR
Mr.. ". II. ROBINSON
His Return From His Vacation Which
Was Largely Spent in Literary Work.

Mr.. and Mrs. W. II. Robinson and
| their children, Bruce and Dorothy,
who have been spending the summer
on the coast, returned yesterday. Mr..
Robinson devoted considerable part
of his vacatios 10 literary work and
has just completed the manuscript for
The Knotted Cord upon which
which an illustrator is already at work.
Though arrangements have not yeJ
been completed for its publication il
will probably be brought out by E. p.
Dutton & Co. OF New York. which
firm lately issued The Gold Palace Of
Never Land" by Mr.. Robinson. This Is
handsomely illustrated children's
book and will shortly be on sale in
Phoenix.
THE Knotted Cord" is a new Mexi-
enteenth century and has TO do. among
other things. with the insurrection of
the Puebla Indians against Spanish
domination. IL is an interesting work
of considerable size and has a solid
historical basis. The history of that
region and period has not been widely
read. In fact, the incidents Of it lie in
the by-ways Of history.
The first book of Mr.. Robinson was
published few years ago by the Tag
alog press. The title Of 1t is Her
Navajo Lover" the illustrations by
Frank Holme. That, by the way. be-
ing the last work ever performed by
that talented artist.

1t was stated in explanation of the
apparent discovery in the testimony OF
these witnesses that they did not I'M

by the interpreter and that the inter

plies.
At the conclusion of the arguments
late in the afternoon Commissioner
tombstone announced that he would
take the matter under advisement,
would go over the testimony and the

The IELEWtR MATTER
MAY Be ENDED TODAY
The Motion to Dismiss the Proceedings
Argued and Taken Under Advise
ment.

A conclusion may be reached today
in the case of Yves q. Lelevier, the
young man whom the Mexican govern
ment is trying TO extradite on the
charge OF stealing two registered let
tiers from the postoffice at Naco. So
nora. a year ago last September.
The cause was resumed yesterday
morning on a motion by Attorney Bull
lard for the defense for a dismissal of
the case on the ground that the evil
dence presented on the part of the
Mexican government is not such as
may be sdmissable under the treaty
with Mexico The argument of the de-
Tense on this motion had been heard
the day before and it was replied TO
yesterday by United States Attorney
Alexander and his assistant, Capt.
George D. Christy.
Sandwiched in among the arguments
was some additional testimony on the
part of the republic of Mexico. Con-
suela. the postmistress at NacO, was
recalled and her assistant or secretary.
Francisco Ramirez de Garcia, was put
on the stand.
The defense made much of the dis
crepancy between the testimony OF
these witnesses and their dispositions
which had been presented before they
came, as We'll as the discrepancy be-
tween the testimony and the deposit
tions and certain testimony taken by
the postoffice inspector after the dis
covery Of the theft of the letters.
In one case the witnesses had placed
the responsibility for the theft of the
letters upon young Lelevier. In an
