How to Reform.
Editor Greeley Tribune,
Dear Sir

. Editor hIttlNN A'''"N'
/ Dear Sir
your issue of May 1th contained
an editorial entitled, How you may
reform which was perhaps intended
10 tell as how to close the post once
ON tbe Lords Day. but which resulted
only in telling us how TO get maii on
that day, \ brief item in a previous
issue of your journal TO the effect that
the ministers desired the post once
closed on the sabbath in order that
the attendance at the churches might
not be lessened indicated only par
tial reason for the closing The peti-
lion which citizens are asked to sign
states that it Is necessary Ia the
sancrity of the day, for the welfare
of our citizens and for the glory OF
God When we ask man TO reform
from the drink habit we do nor ASK
him to change his hours for drinking
but to leave it of entirely ana We ap-
peal to him for reasons similar 10
those mentioned above. This move

Lords Day is in the interest of our
highest civilization. Any one who mas

ditions in Chicago which has practl-
cally a continental sunday cannot but
see that Sabbath observance is in the
interests of national welfare.
1t may be argued that TO read ones

who will seriously consider the ques-

SENATOR LODGE
AS THE. PERMANENT CHAIRMAN,
SOUNDS THE REAL KEY
NOTE OF CAMPAIGN.

In assuming his duties as perma-
nent chairman Of the Republican ma
tional convention, Senator Lodge Of
ssachusetts spoke as follows:
Gentlemen Of the Convention ~
thank you most sincerely for the
great honor you have done me in
choosing me to preside over your
deliberations. For it is a great honor
to be the presiding officer of a Re-
publicon National Convention. 1 can
conceive Of Conventions have in
deed heard of Conventions where the
honor Of such a post as that now oc-
cupied by me, is dubious, and where,
if excitement is present, pleasure is
conspicuous by it's absence. But to
be the presiding officer of Republi-
can Convention is ever a high dis
tinction to which no man can be in
sensible. Gentlemen Of the Conven-
ton, again / thank you.
\ 1 shall not delay or detain you with
many words. Your resolutions will

Alexander the Greats Escape.

As young man Alexander the
Great escaped death in curious man
ner. A great banquet was being held
at Pella, the capital of Macedonia, at
which were present the future con-
queror Of the world and his father,
Philip. During the feast one of the
guests proposed toast and prayer Of
fensive to Alexander, who hurled a
goblet at him. King Philip, angry at
this outrage, started up, drew his
sword and rushed furiously upon his
son, but he had drunk so deeply that
before he reached him he fell PROSTATE
among the terrified merrymakers. Not
a whit perturbed at this extraordinary
escape from death, Alexander retorted,
"Here is man preparing to cross from
Europe into Asia who yet cannot step
surely from one couch to another"

The Choice.

A young man stood before the mirror
completing the finishing touches to a
toilet Of which he felt Justly proud.
He was going to call upon the girls
widowed mother to ask for her daugh-
ter's hand in marriage
At last everything was complete ex-
cept his cravat. Before him on the
dressing table spread the two cravats
between which his choice rested, one, a
neat black with narrow white stripe,
which he had bought himself; the 9TH
er cravat which the girl had given
him for present tie such as only
women purchase

other hand. If wear the one she gave
me I'll please her immensely, but will

Then he whistled. walked around the
room and carefully tied his cravat.
The mother said, Eyes," although
there were tears in her eyes, and the
girl thought he was the handsomest
and best dressed man in the world.
Which cravat did he wear?-Bohe.

Durability Of cl.. 3,

It does not seem odd to find inscrip-
tons written ages ago still visible on
the Tower Of London or on the steeple
Of some cathedral. but one would hard
" look on fragile pane Of glass in a
common window for characters 200
years old. a notable case in point is
that Of the old house in London where
in the notorious Jack Sheppard once
lived as carpenters apprentice. One
Of the window panes still bears an In
scription cut in it by a glaciers dia-
mond recording the name and address
Of a man who preceded Jacks master
In that house.
The inscription is, "John Woolley

That was nine years before the com.
ing to the house of the famous Jack
Sheppard and over 200 years ago.

DIET FOR sLEEPLEssNEss.4
Common Causes Of Insomnia - lndi-
gestion anG Hunger.

Common Causes Of Insomnia - lndi-
gestion anG Hunger.
DR.. William Stevens says that in
somnia is not dis ease itself, but the
effect of an unhealthy condition of
body and mind. When the cause is
removed the insomnia may be expect
ed to disappear.
Every physician has had stubborn
cases of it which would not yield to
any treatment and for which change
of air. or of scene became necessary
But such cases as these should not oc-
cur only when the sufferer has
neglected precautions that should
have been taken when the trouble first
made itsess manifest.
Insomnia results from causes which
can be removed if attended to in sea-
son. The most common cause is found
in the digestive organs Either insult
able food, causing insomnia as a fea-
ture Of Indigestion, or insufficient food,
causing the patient to be kept awake
by hunger.
There are few things which can be
universally recommended as diet for
sleeplessness, since what will agree
with one man will disagree with an
other. But two things that may al
most always be recommended are let
tuce and celery.

CROPPING FOR A
Vice PRESIDENT
If New York Won't Get In
With Sherman Il Lies
Between Fairbanks and
Cunmins

Chicago, ILL.,, June 18.-There were
rumors late tonight of a further eff
fort to get the New York state dele
cation all together behind the can
didacy Of Sherman, and it was re-
ported that State Chairman Wood
run might after all present sher-
mans name to the convention. There
was no formal decision in the mat
ter, and tomorrow's developments
may radically change the whole sit
uation.
AS the night waxed later, there
grew a disposition to attach nearly
decisive Importance to Vice Presi-
dent Fairbanks letter and feeling
that his position might prove so tru-
ly irreyocable that not even unan-
imous nomination could dislodge
him. This consideration materially
encouraged Cummins talk, as we'll as

and west.

veIopment Of the day in connection
with the vice presidential nomina-
ton. The letter was addressed to

SPIDERS, WEBS VARY. Z

And Some Spiders Do Not Spin Webs
at All.
As fine as a spiders web has long
been a standard of comparison, but it
makes difference as to what sort Of
spiders web is meant
/ All spiders webs are not alike, nor
are all the threads of which they are
made. These may be dry or sticky,
fine and regular, or coarse and rough,
according to the will Of the spider,
and the use he wishes to make of it.
One kind of web is that seen on the
grass ON dewy mornings. This is
merely level floor on which the
spider runs and catches his prey. The
thread is not sticky, and the web may
last. if undisturbed. whole season.
Attached to it IS tube Of web, in
which the spider hides.
Another web is in large meshes. but
of Indefinite share. Insects get en-
tangled in the mesh, but are not held
by any. glutinous nature in the thread.
Then there. are. dome webs. in which
the spider runs about to catch the In
sects which set entangled. In addi-
tion, there is tbs fslniliar geonetrical
pattern. IN making these the insect
| first places the rsdiating lines in posi-
ton. On these are woven the circles
OF sticky thread, which, however, new
er reach right TO the center. These
are the webs wili1n catch insects by
Their sickness.
There are, in addition, many varie-
ties of spiders which build no web at
all. but catch their prey by running
after it,
Dividing Line at Cape Ratecras.
Cape Hatteras is the true dividing
line between the North and the South,

ton which, sub-tropical in character,

Mason and Dixon's line is an inn

but Hatteras is the outer mark of the
real dividing line and 1t affords fine
opportunity for study.

A little more tired at close of day,

And so we are nearing the journeys

And so we are farlng adown the way
That leads to the gates Of a better

A little more love for the friends of

A little less zeal for established truth;
A little more charity in our veins,
A little less thirst for the daily news;
And so we are folding our tents away.

A little more real the things unseen;
A little nearer to those ahead,
With visions of those long-loved and

And so we are going where all must
