Will Probably Do Good.

The new postal regulation
which prohibits the sending of
papers atpound rates to subscrib-
ers who are more than a year in
arrears may at first work some
slight inconvenience and cause
some grumbling. Itmay also re-
suit in the loss Of a few delin-
quent subscribers but in the end
is likely to prove a blessing to
both papers and subscribers.
| Almost every paper has SUBJ
scribers who, while they pay
promptly the grocer, coal merch-
ant and other men with whom
they deal, yet let their subscrip-
tion for their local paper remain
unpaid for years to the financial
inconvenience of the editor who
needs money as bad as any other
business man. Of course the
smallness of the sum is often
times the reason why subscribers
neglect to pay. If the matter is
suggested to them they reason
that it is Of so little consequence
a further delay will hurt no one.
In all this it is overlooked that
while any individual sum thus
owing may be small, the aggre-
gate of such sums is usually large
and their payment would mean
much to the editor. The new
rule will work in favor Of prompt
and advance payments and will
be recognized as a benefit by all
when people get accustomed to it.

The Newspaper as
a Record of Life
Nv TALCOTT WILLIAMS,
OF the Philadelphia Press.

From the beginning, with all its
faults, and it has had many, the
controlling instinct Of democratic ip'
situations has led the American press
to print and present the whole round
of life. Nothing has been omitted.
Educated men revolt at this need.
They loathe much in the daily news
paper, because it lays before every
man everything which is in progress,
evil and good; but exactly as in the
individual improvement is impossible
until there has come clear conscious
ness of individual lack and sin, so
with society as a whole, moral re-
sponsibility for reform will only
awaken when consciousness of the
existence OF evil is forced home upon
every soul in the community. The
record of life as it is, without pallia-
ton, with none of the manifold omis-
sions familiar in the journalism OF
other lands, has been the first moral
ideal of the American newspaper.
With it, as with the growth OF con-
seriousness in the individual, has come
also the capacity for INTELLECTUAL.
moral and national direction. = ~

WAX FOR FLOOR POLISH.
Great Popularity Of the American
Product in Italy.

VION0NS III tA0'ys
At one time the practice Of waxing
a floor was in this country confined
almost exclusively to dancing halls
A few years ago it became fashion
able to discard carpets in private
houses and to have the floors OF hard

floors are often polished with oil only

Somnambulism.

who in 1902 became widely known as
the author of dream stories, composed
while in trancelike condition. Once,
while this girl of 25 was writing
story, DR.. Rimes, a physician living
in the same household. held piece of
pasteboard between her eyes and the
paper on which she was writing.
The young authoress continued her
work, entirely oblivious of the inter
ruption. For time this young wom-
ans romantic dream stories brought
her in a good income.
AT Fort Dodge. Ia. some years ago,
a white-robed figure was seen BIZ
cycling madly up and down one of the
principal avenues at midnight. Be-
lated pedestrians reached their homes
with startling tales of having seen
cycle-riding ghost.
Finally the ghost was captured and
proved to be a wealthy young woman
somnambulist, who once a week rose
from her bed at IL o'clock and pro-
ceeded to go bicycling in her night
dress.
Rev. Frederick C. Haas OF New
ark, alter Delng missing from home
for several weeks, returned finally
with the explanation that he had be-
come n sleep-walker while on a train
and woke up finally in the streets of
Chicago, with positively no idea of
how he came there.
Hardin Hughes. reputable young
man of Albany, awoke one night to
find himself robbing the post office.
In his sleep he had bored through the
post office door two holes, which re-
leased the glass plate. and by the
same method had opened the cash
drawer.
Physicians do not attempt to explain
somnambulism. All the phenomena of
sleep are mysterious, they declare.
There is theory credited by some
nerve specialists that the actions of
the somnambulist are controlled by
the spinal cord, the brain being SO
profoundly asleep that it does not
transmit impressions to the cord.
Hence, they say. somnambulists have
neither sight, hearing nor smell in
the trance, but only the sense of touch.
But no one has yet offered explana-
ton of the strange afiiiction.

London.-One of the most remarka-

vation OF physicians attached to the
general hospital in Birmingham. Eng
land. 1t is that of young woman Of
Il. stenographer. teacher and stu
dent of music.
Every morning at two o'clock this
latest subject of somnambulistic phe-
nomena gets out of bed in a halfcon-
sclous state. writes letters In German
and English. reads a book and does
some crochet work Though she does
not seem to be asleep. she does not
recognize anyone and has no realizing
sense of her surroundings. On one
occasion she wrote an intelligent
musical essay on The Sonata Form"
while in this strange trancelike state,
and at another time. when absolutely
in the dark. wrote postal card to
relative In Canada of which she de-
clared the next day she had no recol-
lection.
While in this state She cannot stand
any light at all, and though the doc
tors have repeatedly examined her
eyes in an effort to determine how she
can read, write and do fancy work in
total darkness. they have been unable
to find any explanation of the phe-
nomenon.
Somnambulism, according to physi-
clans. is neurotic condition. Merry
BUSINESS promotes it. as do worry, pre-
occupation and restlessness.
The case of the Birmingham young
woman who wrote an essay while in
the somnambulistic state recalls that

COMPLAINTS ABOUT PAINT.

The time to complain about paint
is before the painter applies it. The
man who puts up the money should
not shirk the responsibility of choos-
ing the paint. True. the painter
ought to know paint better than the
banker the professional man or the
merchant. The trouble Is, the house
owner too often deliberately bars the
competent and honest painter from
the job by accepting bid which he
ought to know would make an honest
job impossible.
Secure your bids on the basis of
National Lead Company's pure White
Lead and pure Linseed Oil and see
that you get these materials.
No one need be fooled by adulter-
ated white lead. A blowpipe testing
outfit will be mailed to anyone inter-
ested in paint.

DOG is GUEST AT WEDDING.
Faithful Brutus Attends Ceremony
and Marriage Feast.

Cincinnati.-Brutus, big New
foundland dog, was an honored guest
at the wedding of Miss Marjorie Riner
Sayler, daughter of the late Nelson
Sayler, and John Lawrence Hawkins,
a prominent Baltimorean. The we'd
ding was one of the most fashionable
of the season here.
Years ago, when the bride was a
mere child, the big dog saved her from
drowning, and since then Brutus has
been her constant companion He
has walked sedately at her side when
she took long country walks. and has
raced at her horses heels when she
chose riding.
The dog was present when the cere-
mony was performed by the Rev. DR..
Dudley Rhodes, and wore huge white
bow on his collar in honor of the
event. At the wedding supper Bru-
tus was served with the rest of the
guests though not at the table.

You Would Not Accept Counterfeit
Money, Why Accept Counterfeit
Goods7

Good money is made by the Govern
ment In which you have implicit faith
and confidence. Good goods are made
by manufacturers who are willing to
stake their regulations on the quality
of the material offered to you through
the medium Of their advertisements in
this paper. Counterfeit goods are not
advertised. The reason for 1t is they
will not bear the close scrutiny to
which genuine advertised goods are
subjected. Counterfeit money pays
more profit to the counterfeiter. Coun.
terfeit goods are offered to you for the
same reason.

when he faced murder charge till
his wife returned from Chicago,
where she had unexpectedly gone on a
visit, he kept out of serious difficulty
until the other day, when he took a
notion to whip his wife. This trouble
is said TO have resulted from the
wife's taking the part of Edith Lang
man, her daughter by a previous mar
riage. whom Tolton had whipped be-
cause he said she was not behaving.
After Tolton had abused his daugh-
ter and the wife expostulated. Tolton
threw his wife and daughter out of the
house, and followed this by pitching
out the furniture with the exception of
a bed, table and a few other articles.
Neighbors were incensed. and when
Tolton left the house they seized him
and gave him such beating that
when he escaped he returned to the
house and barricaded the doors and
windows.
In the meantime an affidavit had
been filed looking to his arrest. A
warrant was issued by Mrs. Clara M.
Hess, said to be the only woman JUS
tice of the peace in the state. but the
town marshal and the township con-
stable were unable to dislodge Tolton,
and, although the entire population of
200 people was at their backs, they did
not venture to break into the house.
The siege continued till midnight, and
then Mrs. Hess telephoned to Sheriff
Shutter of this city. The sheriff sent

When the deputies arrived they de-
manded that the door be opened, but
Tolton, who had 12-year-old son with
him. refused. Then the deputies with
rail battered down the door, which
had been nailed and bolted from the
inside. Tolton, fully dressed, lay in
bed while the door was being forced,
and he was crying when arrested At
his side stood loaded shotgun When
asked why he did not use it, he
mumbled. Whats the use?" Being
without money or friends, and unable
to give bond, he was committed to
Jail to await grand jury action.

Work Of spartlna erasses.

DR.. Otto Stapf described the re-
clamation work performed by Spartlna
grasses. which, he said, spread by un-
derground shoots and seed, which was
dispersed by tides and currents, and
presumably by water birds. Certain
forms established themselves easily
and the roots and bases of the dense
clumps effectively fixed the mud, and
where they occurred in dense patches
they formed protecting belt for the
shore or bank behind them.
