The Blessing of Sleep.

When man is asleep he is out of
mischief. 1t is one of the most ab-
solutely innocent things he can do.
All the poets have spoken we'll OF the
habit Sleep is "balmy," "dewy, "
"tired nature s sweet restorer," etc,
etc, and Sancho Panza, it is remem-
bered, called blessings down on the
head of the astute person who first in
vented it.
1t is one of the paradoxes of our
civilization that sleep, innocent though
it is, has become SO thoroughly dis
reputable when it is in the public eye.
If high city official or one OF our
judges were found asleep on bench
in small city park it would cost him
his honorable fame and might cost
him his office. Men would say he was
"soused" or intellectually unsettled.
No woman, no matter how respectable,
can go to sleep in a public place or
conveyance without being nudged in
to wakefulness by some official guard
ian of the properties. The man who
dozes off is likely to be aroused by the
noise of poilcemans' stick beating
tattoo on his soles.
1t seems that sleep may be like that
equally innocent institution, religion.
'This is no place to get religion,
was the stern rebuke administered, as
the authentic anecdote has it, by the
sexton of a fashionable church when
an old colored nanny gave that as an
excuse for the pious CALCULATIONS that
had disturbed the course of the Sun
day morning sermon. The parks and
public conveyances, it is agreed, are
no place to indulge in the innocent
relaXations of slumber.
To sleep there is to Use the suspic-
ion that you have no regular domicile
and no pew in church, and therefore
are inferntially an undesirable citizen.
The somnolent one is in danger of be-
ing robbed and thereby putting
scandal on public place, remunerat-
ing the wicked and adding to the tasks
of the police. He betrays either
shameful confidence in the honesty of
his fellow men or in a shameless in.
difference to'their scandalized disap-
probation. He is in a state of mental
dishabille. He embarrasses men by fol
lowing policy of disarmament to
which they are reluctant to subscribe
He irritates them by his degenerate
communism, his willingness to in
strust his personal safety, his immedi-
ate personal effects-and perhaps his
permanent support-to the community
at large.
Despite their collective fads, men
are pretty individualistic after all It
disgusts them to see other men asleep
in the open, They are none too we'll
pleased when people eat in the streets
and there are evidences of a growing
protest against public spooning The
roof tree has not lost its function, nor
life the need of its reticence.

A DanpernnS Men.

~ boISSAoun AhG IL
There is reason to believe that so
long as human nature is what it is
this is not going TO be an ideal world.
Here in the United States during the
last few years there has been an era of
extraordinary prosperity. Capital and
labor have both prospered. There has
been as little unavoidable poverty as
any other country or any other period
of time, has witnessed. If all men and
women have not had enough and to
spare it has not been the fault of bust
ness and industrial conditions.
In connection with this unusual
prosperity there has been tremend-
Gus stirring of the national consci-
ence. Beginning with the thorough
of the big insurance companies of
New York and extending over other
fields of vast business enterprise
halt has been called upon corporate
lawlessness and plutocratic intoler-
rance, changed methods introduced
and a fair start made in the direction
of promoting the universal reign of
law. The results have been profound
ly irritating to some men VITO had
formed the notion that the govern
ment was in subsection to them, but
it has tended to confound the dema-
gogues who persistently maintain that
the law is simply another weapon of
the rich
1t must be the conclusion of all fair
minded men and women who careful
ly observe the situation that the Am
erican people, native aud foreign-born,
are highly favored by fortune, which
is but another name for Providence.
The law is being enforced as never be-
fore The rights of the workingman
are conserved. Wages are high and
working hours comparatively short.
The workingman who is sober, in
dustriOus and economical has enough
to maintain his family IN comfort and
perhaps little surplus at the end of
the year. There ought to be little rea-
son for discomfort among those who
are blessed with health and energy !;
who are able and willing to work.
And yet one occasionally encounters
some blatant loafer who never did an
honest days work in his life, hnless
it was under compulsion. but who is
filled with a somber sense of sorrow
over the injustice meted out to the
American workingman. This agitator,
who would rather starve than earn his
living by honest toll, but who is not
above accepting the fruits of other
mems labor, predicts the coming of a
bloody catastrophe in our happy coun-
try. He talks freely about impending
hloodshed because he has no sense of
esponsibility, and also because he has
no intention of losing any of his own
precious life fluid. Like Artemas
Ward, he will be perfectly willing to
shed the last drop of blood in the veins
of his wife's relatives. but he intends
to take mighty good care of his own.
Sensible men, whether employers,
mechanics, laborers, professional men,
should give no encouragement to the
vile demagogue who distorts fact, ap-
peals to prejudice. undertakes to stir
up passion and seeks to bring neigh
bors who ought to be good friends all
their DAYS into deadly conflict The
country and its people have no more
dangerous foes.

=" We never repent of eating too little, ="
was one of the ten rules of life of
Thomas jefferson, president of the
United States, and the rule applies to
every one without exception during
this hot weather, because it is hard
for food, even in small quantities to
be digested when the blood is at high
temperature. At this season we should
eat sparingly and properly. We should
also help the stomach as much as poss-
ible by the use of little Kodol for In
digestion and Dyspepia. which will
rest the stomach by digesting the food
itself. Sold by Paules q Co.

but with the satisfaction OF TINS DC
lnand, the movement Issued IN almost
total stagnation for n time and theh
reacted. The extension of the move
lncnt was helped by special strength
in a few stocks, due to indivldual
causes. There was also some buying,
based on the contents Of President
Roosevelt's address at indianapolis to-
day. The speech had been so accu-
rately forecast during "Wednesday that
there was little reason for changing
operations made at that time on the
strength of 1t, and which were on
considerable scale The financial COM
mnnity was inclined to infer from the
tone rather than from the substance
OF the address that reinsurance was
intended against some of the assump-
tons that have been current in the
stock market as to the intentions of
the Presidents policy towards corpo-
ratfons. The attitude Of protest against
some of these assumptions were inter-
preted as n pledge of moderated policy.
The course of the days events indi-
Gated that the supposed market influ-.
encc OF the address had been some
what overestimated in the professional
transactions, which sought to nntici-
patio it. y more substantial basis for
the improved feeling was the showing
of net earnings Of railroads for April,
which came to hand.
An untoward movement in smelling
was due to talk of an increase in the
dividend rate at tho coming meeting
