SLEEP A PUZZLE.
The Mystery Involving "Tired Natures
Sweet Restorer."

The Mystery Involving "Tired Natures
Sweet Restorer."
Although the phenomenon has beer
observed since man has existed, the
true nature of sleep and what causes
it are practically mysteries today. AL
recognize the necessity of sleep and
know that it is the sovereign remedy
for fatigue-"tired natures sweet re-
storer"
This fact has led to the theory that
sleep Is induced by the poisons which
are known to be formed and passed
into the blood stream during wearying
exercise Of mind or body. The theory
Is that these poisons benumb the nerve
center controlling the circulation in the
brain, with a consequent reduction in
the blood supply. This "anaemia" OF
the brain produces Inconsistencies, OF
sleep, during which the activities OF
body and mind are repressed, the for
nation Of fatigue poisons" is arrested
and those already formed and circulat
Ing in the blood are eliminated.
When this has taken place the puri
fed blood again nourishes and stimu
lates the circulation center, an in
creased volume of blood flows to the
brain, and the subject awakes, renew.
ed in spirit and flesh and ready for the
labors of the day.
This explanation is only a theoretical
one, but it is plausible. Whatever may
produce it and whether 1t is cause OF
an accompaniment, we know that a
lessened blood supply in the brain is
associated with healthy sleep and that
cerebral excitement and congestion
must be overcome before normal sleep
can take place. =
The relation Of the circulation to
sleep Is seen in the alternate drowsi-
ness and insomnia Of the very aged
While sitting up they are drowsy and
cannot keep their eyes open, but the
minute they lie down the power to
sleep forsakes them This Is. probably
due to the fact that the arteries have
lost their tone: While the subject sits
mp the blood sinks away from the
brain because the weakened heart is
unable to overcome the pull Of gravity,
but when he lies down the blood trio
kles Into the vessels Of the brain, and
the smaller arteries are passively Ill,
lated by its pressure. OF course the
process IS not quite SO purely nnechan-
teal as this, for no one could live with
such fiabby arteries, but; the force Of
gravity does act In q measure. ,.s !. j

MAKING a Sale,

a successful salesman who was dis
cussing the principles underlying his
line Of business made the remark:
'Never go into a customers store and
sit down while you are trying to sell
him goods. Let him sit down il he
wants to, but you stand up and ire
the stuff at him. If he offers you
chair say: No, I thank you. I have
been sitting down too much already
AS you stand and he sits he has to
look up. And If there Is such thing
as business hypnotism in nature that's
the time when it Gets in it's work. n

Why Our Hearts Go Out to Andy.

Why Our Hearts Go Out to Andy.
(Minna Irving in Leslie's Weekly.
A son of Scotland's banks and br2es,
He came across the sea,
And soon the world began to hear
Of Andrew Carnegie.
But when in Pittsburg's murky town
He made his golden pile,
And sailed away to take a rest
In Britain's bonny isle,
Did he forget this land of ours,
Where dollars grew so handy?
All, no! and that's the reason why
Our hearts go out to Andy.
The locomotive engineers
Have cause to bless his name,
And colleges and libraries
Perpetuate his fame.
He speaks for universal peace
From mountain top to waive,
And never fails to well reward
The gallant and the brave.
From frozen wastes of polar ice
To deserts hot and sandy,
He makes the world a better place
Our hearts go out to Andy.
Where molten steel like water flows,
The flaming foundries write
The story of his charities
Upon the skies at night,
And paeans in his praise will fill
The capital of coke,
Till Pittsburg furls for evermore
It's banners of smoke.
All hail the laird Of Skibo, then!
He may not be dandy,
But he's a generous gentleman
Our hearts go out to Andy.

The Sophomore class entertain
ed the Seniors and Independents
at a picnic in Fuller's grove,
four miles southeast of town,
Friday, the trip being made in

everybody has a good time at a
picnic.
Remember that firms that
make a practice of forcing pianos
into your parlors and leaving
them on trial, and afterwards
make a civil price-being the
instrument is in your home
could have given you that piano
in the first place at the last
price quoted, but was asking
you to much, and probably still
is even at the lowest price. If
you buy a piano Of the Chicago
Piano Company, you get the
lowest price first and a bright
new instrument.
Many favorable reports have
been reaching Devils Lake of
''The King Of Tramps'' which
appears at the Army Monday,
Jane 3 and from the demand Of
seats it is going to be a case OF
the late corners standing up.
The play is a happy combina-
tion Of mirth and music, four
big acts of the best and cleanest
comedy set to Yankee Doodle
music. Little Jimmie, an Office
boy, with the propensity for
Buckskin Bill stories, is one of
the big laughing hits Of the
show. Then there is the Scare
crow, a sight to behold, lifted
from his accustomed place in
the field, with clothes tattered,
torn and stuffed with straw and
set down on the stage, a resem-
blance so natural that you Won
der if it is a real live man or
just what it appears to be, a
scarecrow. Doubts are soon set
at rest, as he doas his funny
song and dance, a rather shaky
affair, due to his disjointed ap-
pearance. The play is aptly
termed a'performance of jollity
and joy.
