4 Habit Which May Severely Tax the
Vital Powers.

There Is no adequate support for
the impression that the early morning
hours are in any way more wholesome
or healthy than later periods Of the
DAY. Except in summer time they
Are apt to be damp, fosgy, chilly and
among the least desirable hours of
daylight. 1t is quite true that during

sion and loss of working power later
IN the day. I have been observing NV
friends and patients for the past 20
years In this respect, and am inclined
TO the opinion that not a little of the
depression and nervousness which
commonly develop in hot weather Is
due to excessive exposure to light
from habits of early rising, inherited
from agricultural ancestors, not coun.
Ceracted by three to four hours rest

Secondly, that the exhilaration ex.

hours is an expensive luxury which

QUEER NAMES USED IN CHINA.
Much the Same Idea AZ That Of the
North American Inaian.

1--WE Chinese" said the law student,
give our children queer names. Our
girls, for instance are not called
Mabel, Jenny or Matilda, but Cloudy
Moon, Celestial Happiness, Spring
Peach, or Casket of Perfumes. Our
boysDget less delicious names. Boys
are made for work and wisdom, rather
than for dancing and pleasure, and
their names show this, as Practical
Industry, Ancestral knowledge, Com.
plete Virtue, Ancestral Piety, Discreet
Valor. To our slaves we give still an.
other set Of names. Yes, those dear,
pathetic little slaves Of ours, some
girls, some boys, who do q hundred
various little tasks about the house,
these lowly creatures have names like
Not For Me. JOY to Serve, Your Hap

Hotel Keys.

at takes Just about 500 new keys
a year to keep us going" remarked
Dave Mills, assistant manager of the
Euclid, the other day. THAT does
not include the keys that are carried
away and returned by mail. Then
lots of people take the metal tags OF
keys in order to carry the keys In
their pockets, and the tags get lost,
Sometimes a guest will return key
that he has carried for a year or So
But the funniest proposition l ever
struck was this: We got a letter
one day from a man out in Des
Moines, Ia, who wrote to apologize
for not returning key he had taken
away. He said he found that the key
just fitted the front door of his home
and as his wife had lost the key to
the house a few days before, he felt
obliged to keep the key from the
Euclid, much as he hated to do IT,

no LONGER A HERO TO HER
Last Drop in Cup Of Sorrow for Un
fortunate Playwright.

David Belasco was being congratu.
lated on the success of his new G..
A. r. drama. Writing plays Is risky
business" said Mr.. Belasco. Past
triumphs don't count. He who has
written 20 superb pieces is just as
likely to be damned on his 21st piece
as any tyro.
There was once a playwright who
sat In the front row at the first night
OF new piece Of his own. This piece
failed. 1t fsiled dreadfully.
( AS the playwright sat, pale and
sad, amid the Kisses, woman be.
hind him leaned forward and said:
Excuse me, sir; but, knowing you
TO be the author OF this play, took
the liberty, at the beginning OF the
performance, of shipping OF a lock Of
your hair. Allow me now to return II

effect OF .EARTH's ROTATION.
6eI-ian GeaIogist So Ascribes Curious
Twists in Tree Trunks.

Curious twists are observed In many
tree trunks, and the inquiry just bs.
gan In Europe suggests the surprising
conclusion that they are produced by
the earth's rotation. like the twists of
storms and the whirls seen In water.
Van den Brock, the Belgian geologist,
points out that If conditions OF growth
were the cause the torsion should fol
low the su q apparent path. In at
least $50 out 1000 trees the reverse is
true, and 1t may be that the twist liz
usually to the left in the northern
hemiaph""e and to the right-or with
the clock-in the southern hemisphere,
like the turn Of the cyclonic storms
and water vortices.. This difference is
due to the earth's rotation. Jean
Brunhes notes that It was shown
some years ago that the winds due To
the earth's motion blow steadily at a
season when vegetation Is active and
sensitive, and slight continuous
bending and turning then would be
likely to affect the tree permanently.

WEBB McNALL MAKES a GUESS
He Thinks That Stubbs Will Win the
GOvernorship.

Webb McNan of Smith county is in
Topeka today. Concerning the po-
litical situation, Mr.. McNall says:
''It looks to me, as though Stubs
was going to lick the platter in the
governorship fight Bailey is popular
but people figure that he is hooked up
with LonS, and they are against Ions
They would like to be for Bailey, but
they don't want Long, and they will
let the tail go with the hide. 1 believe
that Smith county will send a Stubs
delegation to the state convention.
That country up through the Sixth
district is pretty strong for Bailey
generally, but it is against Long. L.
doesn't owe Long anything, and the
anti-Long sentiment is what will pull
Bailey under.
'I believe that Governor Hoch is
going to call the. special session. I adj
yised him to call it on the ground of
necessary amendments to the assess
ment and taxation laws. The legisla-
ture is sure to do business on that
proposition--it isn't so sure on any
thing else"

GOLD FIND AT KETTNER
MAY BE IMPORTANT
Ledge Is Said To Be -Four
Feet Wide,

GALLUP, n. NJ. June 6.-.Mofris
Picard was home this week from Kett.
ner, where he has been engaged as
"a contractor. He reports quite a find
near Kettner in the way of gold mine.
From his account the discovery bids
fair to be a very important one. The
ledge Is said to be about four feet in
width and assays as high as 5000 gold
to the ton. The property has been
staked of by Mr.. Picard and another
party named Simpson, and a company
has already been formed to work it.
Three miners are now at work From
reports. this territory is certainly well
worth prospecting-McKinley County
Republican.
Picard lives at Gallup, but is well
known In Albuquerque. The ore that
he found was brought to this city and
and assayed By q local assayer. The
mineral contained 5000 in gold and oT
