THE MYSTERY OF SLEEP.
No Man Knows When the Moment Of
Inconsistencies Comes

There is q remarka BILE fact connected
with sleep which must not be over
looked The sleep of human being,
if we are not too busy to attend to the
ma.ter, always evokes certain feeling
Of awe. Go into a room where Il per-
son is sleeping. and it is difficult to
resist the sense that one is in the pres.
ence of the central mystery Of exist
ence. People who remember how con-
stantly they see old Jones asleep in
the club library will smile at this, but
look quietly and alone even at old
Jones and the sense Of mystery will
soon develop.
1t is no good to say that sleep is only
moving" because 1t looks like death.
The person who is breathing so loudly
as to take away all thought Of death
causes the sense Of awe quite as easily
as the silent sleeper who hardly seems
to breathe.
We see death seldom. but were 1t
more familiar we doubt II corpse
would inspire so much awe as the un-
conscious and sleeping figure-a smil-
ing. irresponsible doll. flesh and blood.
but doll to whom in second may
be called a proud. active, controlling
consciousness which will ride his bOdi.
ly and his mental horse with a hand
of iron, which will force that body to
endure toll and misery and will make
that mind, now wandering in paths Of
I fantastic folly, grapple with some great
problem or throw all its force into the
ruling, the saving or the destruction
Of mankind. The corpse is only so
much bone, muscle and tissue: the
sleeping body is the house which a
quick and eager master has only left
for an hour or so.
Let any one who thinks sleep is not
mystery try to observe in himself
the process by which sleep comes and
to notice how and when and under
what conditions he loses consciousness.
He will. of course, utterly fail to put
his finger on the moment Of sleep COM
ing, but in striving to get as close as
he can to the phenomena Of sleep he
will realize how great Is the mystery
which he is trying to fathom.

COFFEE
The New Cooks Way.

A new cook was In the kitchen, and
the mistress was trying to be pleased
with the way she served dinner. The
salad was especially unappetizing,
with large, coarse green lettuce leaves
instead Of the crisp, white little hearts
the family was accustomed to.
what did you do to the lettuce|'
mildly inquired the lady Of the house
after dinner.
"Sure, l washed it all good" replied
the new cook.
"But the small white part?" persist

A JAPANESE DINNER.

Japanese dinner began.
For first course there We're sweet bis

appetiZing sauce. The guests. con-

raw fish no more difficult to eat than
raw oysters. With this course went a
salad of white chrysanthemums.
The elaborate fourth course consist
ed Of boiled chestnuts and paste Of
sharks fins, quail roasted and hashed
with preserved cherries and crawfish

Next came soup Of seaweed. bit

The young girls as they rose from
their low cushions and limped about
in the effort to get the stiffness out Of
their legs said that the Japanese din

better than they had counted on, but
perhaps little too salty for occidental

Bend was pulled off by safeblowers,
who plundered the South Bend post

The robbery was discovered at $3.50
o'clock Sunday morning by a clerk in
the employ of the Household Quitting
company, one door north of the room
temporarily occupied for postoffice
purposes during the erection of the

impossible to open either entrance to

trance, and examination showed that
they had been fastened by large screw

Most Imposing Ceremony in
Rome Since Coronation OF
Pontiff is Witnessed
SEVENTY THOUSAND PRESENT
All Parts Of the World Represented
In the Vast Congregation Gathered
at st. Peters to View Celebration Of
/ PontificaI Mass by the Pope-cere-
! mony Impressive.

Rome. Nov. 16.-Pontifica1 mass was
celebrated this morning at st. Peters,
by the pope, on the occasion of the
5Oth anniversary of his Joining the
priesthood. 1t was the most imposing
ceremony witnessed in Rome since the
coronation of the Pontiff. There were
present, not less than 10000 Of the
faithful, who had come to Rome from
all parts OF the world.
A tribune had been erected only for
the pope's sisters, members Of the
royal families, diplomatic corps, and
special missions sent by the heads of
states. The rest Of the people were
admitted by ticket. The basilica was
radiant with thousands of electric
lights and candles. The papal process
sion was most magnificent, and brought
together q large variety of rich court
costumes. The bishops were clad in
purple, and the cardinals in red. Above
the heads Of the high church digni-
taries, rose the papal chair upon which
the pontiff, dressed almost entirely in
white, was seated. The chair was
flanked by famous feather fans, and
as the pope progressed. he impaired
his blessing to the kneeling crowds.
There were thirty-four cardinals and
360 bishops in the procession.

entrance o.. the basilica. The choir
of the Sistine chapel rendered music
which was most beautiful. The pope
celebrated mass at high altar, stand
ing above the shrine Of ST. Peter. At
the conclusion OF the mass, he impaired
his solemn benediction to the vast
congregation. II was an impressive
moment. and every one within the por-
tails Of St Peters was deeply touched
by the solelnni4y Of the occasion.

LINE AN ASSURED FACT.
lnterurban from Waterloo Southwest
to Be Built Soon.

Grundy Center, Nov. 16.-One of the
officials of the proposed Iowa 1nterur-
ban railroad, j. w. Gillis, while here
last week gave assurance that the line
would be built this coming season
from Waterloo southwest toward a
connection into Des Moines He also
gave practical assurance that the line
would come into Grundy Center, altho
the original route passed a couple OF
miles north of here. The officials OF
the line have consented to bring the
line in here providing the right of way
will be donated between Eldora and
Grundy Center, and all but three prop
erty owners have made the necessary
grants.
Mr.. Gillis says that it is an assured
fact that this road will be built and
that actual construction work will be-
gin as soon as the weather permits in
the spring. The right of way has near
lv all been secured between Eldora and
Ames, and as soon as this part of the
work is settled between Eldora and
Grundy Center the work of getting the
right of way from here to Waterloo
will go on.
Construction work will begin at Ell
dora, and it will extend both west and
east from the starting point.

sonable merchandise are active. VIM
ter goods and footwear are moving
freely. Orders for spring and early
summer goods are being placed and IN
the aggregate compare favorably with
the movement year ago. Building op-
erations for ten months of 1908 show

corresponding period of 1907.
Boston-Practically all lines of bus
mess show decided Improvement, either
in actual buying or increased inquiry,
and the feeling in New England is gen
eral that business will rapidly mend
from now on. The continued unseason-
able weather has deterring influence
in some lines. Prices continue to
harden. and mills which have been
operating on a narrow margin Will Sc
cure more profitable returns after old
orders taken four months or more ago
are worked off. Jobbers in dry goods,
clothing and other staple lines are well
pleased with the outlook, and need only
cold weather to insure an active trade,
as retailers stocks thruout the country
are low.
Kansas City-Colder weather has
stimulated retail trade. Jobbers report
an increased business, with better col
lections. Stocks are small and the
country merchants are now buying
freely, which results. in a good fall
trade in all lines. Kansas City flour
mills produced $500 barrels of flour
the past week compared to 1866 the
previous week; quotations are steady
and export business is confined to a
few bookings of clear and straight
brands. Local houses are preparing
for a heavy trade and are stocking up
for it. Visiting dealers are few, but
mail orders are satisfactory. The ad-
vance in prices Of wheat has helped
the market, while oats are steady and
corn is lower. In live stock cattle and
sheep are advancing, but hogs are
lower
New Orleans.-Jobbers and manu-
facturers report moderate amount OF
improvement in trade, and the move
ment in merchandise is fairly good
tho not up to the average for this time
of the year. Retail trade continues
quite good. The grinding of cane has
become general thruout the state: the
movement of new sugar and molasses
is comparatively heavy and the de-
mand sufficient to absorb all offerings.
A material decline in prices has oc-
CURED since the season commenced,
but prices are now fairly steady. Lum-
ber is moving freely; orders from the
interior are received in increasing
amounts, and the outlook is considered
quite favorable.
