Reading in Bed.

Reading in bed, like most luxuries,
can be overdone, in fact there seems to
be only one excuse for this fascinating
way of ending the day. Certain people
find that their worries accumulate in
their brains after bedtime; their nerves
are at high tension and their minds
are actively at work trying to solve
problems that should have been left
behind in the city.
Going to bed with the brain in such
state means that with nothing to
distract the thoughts, hearing nothing
and seeing nothing in the darkness,
imagination has full sway and hours
of wakefulness may be the result.
Such man, we think, will find half
an hours reading in bed a great help.
With careful attention paid to the
quality and position of the light, SO
that without fiickering it shines over
the shoulder and directly on to the
page the much maligned habit of read
ing in bed has sometimes very bene-
fetal effect on tired and overwakeful
brain.-The Family Doctor.

When You Visit the Sick.

l. Let them talk of themselves first.
l have noticed, particularly with those
who are much alone, that they want to
tell what they have been doing, who
has called, and little about their
aches and pains. After that they will
gladly listen to anything that you may
have to say
2. DO not impress upon them what a
very good time you are having in the
world, while they are out of it all.
3. Usually try to bring some little
thing to them. 1t need not be eXpen-
sive, but single flower, bunch of
grapes, a potted plant or little leafiet.
All these things relieve the monotony
of their existence
4. The weather often depresses sick
people, and if practical it is advisable
to call on stormy days, or on the sec
opd day of long storm, thus bringing
little sunshine to them.
There is much written in these days
VI dI1u
these monstrous advocates of man
slaughter can see no reason why the
hopelessly ill should not be put to death
quietly. To such miguided ones the
mystery of suffering is an enigma, and
they do not comprehend the sacrifice
of the cross. Neither do they under
stand what lessons are taught to others
by witnessing the patience of the sick,
or what unselfishness it develops in
| those who serve them. Suffering is a
mystery, and we must accept it as such.
We know that there is a great reward
promised to those who visit the sick,
but not to those who would relentless
| ly put an end to the earth-life which
God has given.

Lenox Clock is Valued at ST.. 500.

A lady living at Littleton, N. c.,
has in her possession very interesting
old clock. Formerly it was present
to Lady Jane LenoX, of Scotland, who
afterward moved to America, bringing
the clock with her and it has ever
since been in possession of some of her
descendants.
The present owner was once Offered
81, 500 for this timepiece by the Len
OK Library, of New York city, which
was established by member of the
Lenox family.
On the face of the clock the follow
ing name plate is clearly legible;
"John Lippo, Maker, London, 1886. "
Above the face and inside the clock is
chime of fifteen silver bells, upon
which are played in four chords, ''God
Save Great George" and "Britons,
Strike Home" The face of it is brass
inlaid with black enamel and is about
nineteen inches in diameter. Above
the face proper is a smaller dial, upon
which the signs of the zodiac appear
and the changes of the moon are re-
presented by silver plates about two
inches in diameter. There is also a
perpetual calendar, which does not
omit the leap year.
The clock itself is seven and half
feet tall and made of mahogany. 1t
is run by system of weights and has
a pendulum movement, which beats
seconds. This is probably one of the
first clocks ever made with the pendu-
lum movement.
A jeweler, who examined it recently,
says the works are good for hundred
years more service. Although it has
been in use for two hundred and seven
two years it keeps time accurately and
is in fine state of preservation.

BRYAN A CONSERVATIVE.
NEBRASKAN AS HE IS APPRAISED BY
AN EASTERN LAWYER


Arthur English, of Charleston, w.
Va, said to be one of the best authori-
ties on equity jurisdiction of the United
States courts in the country, is in the
city. Mr.. English has been a visitor
of Mr.. Bryan at Fairview, and is one
of the most trusted of Mr.. Bryan's
friends. Mr.. English's father, the late
Thomas Dunn English, author of ''Ben
Bolt,' was in Congress with Mr..
Bryan, and was one of the latter's de-
voted admirers.
81 am a conservative, said Mr..
English, ''and, therefore, desire Mr..
Bryan to be elected to the Presidency.
The common opinion expressed by the
people who do not really know Mr..
Bryan is that he is radical. This is,
in my opinion, an error. Mr.. Bryan
is not radical, unless it be radical to
oppose wrong. Mr. Bryan is really
conservative, and those who expect
him to do things, if President, that will
Overturn law and order, will be very
much mistaken.
"Mr. Bryan is too big and broad not
to realize that power is not given one
to abase, but to use beneficially. Any
power intrusted to him will be WELD
ed with conservatism, judgment, and
for the good of the many.
''No law-abiding corporation or mill
ionaire need fear Mr. Bryan, simply
because it is corporation, nor
because he is a millionaire, but all the
lawless characters who violate Federal
law will feel the power to punish
wrong, if within the jurisdiction of the
President to enforce.
"Mr. Bryan, if President, will not
violate the Constitution, nor the acts
of Congress to satisfy whims, for he is
too big, too well balanced, and too eau
tious of public interest to have any
whims.
''As l understand Mr.. Bryan, from
long acquaintance with his opinions,
he is man of remarkably good judg-
ment in public affairs, and will dis
play caution and wisdom in handl-
ing public questions that will surprise
those who enormously call HIM radical
"Mr. Bryan realizes, in my opinion,
that this is great country, and that
its interests are linked together in such
a way that to injure one affects an
other, and the honest railroad company
and the honest farmer, the honest cor
poration, and the honest workingman
will alike be thought of when questions
arise that may affect either. ."-Omaha

THE SCHEMIHL
HE rs THE POOR FELLOW WHO AL
WAYS MISSES HIS CHANCE.

I HE rs THE POOR FELLOW WHO AL
WAYS MISSES HIS CHANCE.
The schemihl is easier to understand
than to define. Many years ago gath
ering of the wits at the Maccabaeus
endeavored to come to decision as to
the real definition of schemihl. They
could not agree as to the origin of the
word, and they found it equally hard
to define what exactly schemihl is.
The nearest shot, says the Jewish
Chronicle of London, was that of Stu
art M. Samuel, M. P, who said that
he could tell story that would illus
trate exactly what was meant by the
term. There was a poor man who
could not find anything to do What
ever he tried failed, and when he sought
employment he could not obtain it.
Day after day he sat (schemihllike) on a
bench in the public gardens waiting
for some one to offer him work, but the
offer never came. For whole year he
sat thus each day until at last he at
tracted the attention of merchant,
who said to himself 81 want some one
at my warehouse, and | think l shall
offer the job to that poor man who is
always sitting so patiently and visit
fully as though he is looking for en-
ployment. Tomorrow shall speak to
him." The morrow came, and the
poor man started for his usual walk to
his usual seat. AS, however, he was
leaving his house he said to his wife:
"My dear, have been out like this for
whole year, and nothing has ever
come of it. Today think shall stay
at home" And he did. And he miss
ed the merchant That is the schemihl.

GOULDS SEEKING VIRGINIA TERMINAL
A dispatch from Newport News says:
Inquiries from persons closely associ-
ated with the Wabash railroad have
been of such a nature as to lead to the
belief that the Goulds, who control the
system, have an eye upon the port of
Newport News and propose to extend
their line to this city making it their
great deepwater terminal and the east
ern terminal of their system which at
present extend west from Omaha and
Kansas City to Pittsburg and from
Cumberland to Washington.
An inquiry has been received by the
local board of trade from HI. T. New
comb, of the Wabash, with offices in
Washington, asking the approximate
value of terminal facilities for freight
export through Newport News and an
approximate sum added to that value
during the past ten years.

of the flock had no place to baptize

Millions of Dollars Spent Every
Year in Fruit Shipments.
Money Spent by Hartman Road
to Transport Expediti0usly.
OUTLOOK SEEMS GOOD.
California Business Will Exceed
That of Other Years.
Other Items of Interest in
Railway Circles.

Figures have been compiled by South
ern Pacific railroad officials showing
the extraordinary character of Califor-
mia fruit shipments and the means ta-
ken to make the shipping service safe
and expeditions.
During the season ending October 81,
1905, $3.50 cars of deciduous green fruit
were shipped east from California. This
season to November first Z 04S cars. This
has been the banner year in the green
fruit business. California has received
more money net than during any pre-
vious season. Many cars of fruit
brought over $1,000 each, while cherries
in a number Of cases ranged from 49,
600 to $1,000 per car.
The total northern California ship
ments of vegetables, green deciduous
and citrus fruits during the season just
closing have been 10,912 cars, nearly q
thousand more than last year. From
southern California the shipments via
all lines were 1883 cars of citrus fruit
and 3,477 of vegetables.
The prospect for this season is good
Since October 1, more than 450 cars OF
deciduous fruit and 1,400 cars of or
anges and lemons have been shipped
from northern California, a far greater
number than during last years cores
for the southern California citrus fruit
crop is 80, 900 cars-vegetables 1000 cars
this season, altogether spelling pros
perity in capital letters for California
fruit growers.
To carry this fruit $500 of the most
expensive refrigerator cars yet con-
structed have been purchased at a cost
Of $11, $4,000. They were built by the
Southern Pacific, Union Pacific, Oregon
