THE time-honored method of produc-
ing sleep by counting an imaginary
flock Of sheep as they jump over a
fence is really helpful to some people,
simply because it is a means of divert
ing an anxious mind. I have found the
following manner of counting of much
more benefit, however; it needs close at
tention, and other trains of thought can
not be carried on at the same time
Count slowly up to twenty in this way:
one, two; one, two. three; one, two,
three, four, etc.

To the Editor Of the University Missourian:
Few, if any, of us wish that it were
possible for Bryan and Taft both to be
elected; that is few of us wish it for
their sakes, but when we look at the
photographs of their two charming
daughters and think what the election
of their fathers would bring to either
of them we wish that the two candi-
dates would fix up some sort of an
arrangement whereby regardless of who
wins both daughters would become
Whitehouse bellies. There was a chance
for real display of craftsmanship; if
either candidate had put a plank in his
platform which solved that problem,
his success would have been practically
assured. r.

TT is almost as bad to 90 to bed
hungry as it is to eat too hearty
meal. Something light and easily
digested as well as satisfying may be
taken at bedtime. A glass of warm
milk, a cupful OF hot matted milk or
some cocoa may be chosen, and if one
wakes up hungry in the middle of the
night, and cannot 60 to sleep again, one
of these drinks will often be found most
beneficial. They not only satisfy hunger,
but their heat will warm up the stomach
and help to draw the blood away from
the brain, thus making sleep possible.

A conflict between clergyman and

the attempted enforcement of the city

of sidewalks Of snow.
The Rev. James E. Morrison, pastor
of the Methodist church, was ordered
by the proper officers to clean off his
sidewalk, and for some reason the or

that the reverend gentleman was taken
before the justice of the peace. The

Criminal Charges.
Sheriff Lee of Ward county has or
dered careful and close watch kept
over the prisoners at the county Jail
from now until the batch of prisoners
who are in on criminal charges are
disposed of. With the men charged
with plugging, the sheriff is having but
little trouble. Their time is but nine.
ty or one hundred days and during
cold, winter months worse places than
the warm Jail might be found. But
the men who are to face long sen.
fences in the state penitentiary, where
they will have no opportunity to taste
the joys of the outside world, are the
from whom almost anything my be
expected. A short time ago two bars
sawed completely through and con.
cealed with paste made from pow
dered brick and soap. were discovered
by the jailer. This was evidently the
start of an uprising among the prison.
ers and at the first opportunity they
would have undoubtedly made an at.
tempt to get away.
Some of those who are awaiting
trial are hard characters, used to
crime, and in their desperate condi-
ton Of mind would stop at nothing to
affect an escape. There are eighteen
men in the Jail at this time who will
be tried in district court this term
and they are all being watched care
fully at all times Fine Jail is being
thoroughly searched several times a
week, SO that no contraband articles
can be struggled in to the prisoners.
The county officials will undoubted-
" breathe signs of relief when the
Bismarck special carries away it's an
nual load to the state penitentiary.

DEN MARK.

A very interesting political an.
nouncement comes from Denmark;
namely, that the home mission so
ciety, which has great strength, is
contemplating a radical change in its
policies, and will hereafter take a
| more aggressive part in social and in
dustrial affairs, and will endeavor to
| influence the elections in behalf Of
candidates and measures. Hitherto
the society, whose members are found
in every parish and community. has
pursued policy of seclusion, showing
no disposition to mingle with the af-
fairs Of other people or those of the
nation. These mission people have in
some cases, it is true, established
high schools and have built cream
cries, when those already in existence
persisted, against their protests, to
operate on Sundays; but, generally
speaking, the mission people have
taken little part in the industrial and
political affairs of Denmark.
Now, it is said, mission people will
put up candidates of their member
ship in the folketing, or will support
candidates who are in sympathy with
them. They will also seek to get con-
troll OF cities and communities by
electing their own men to municipal
offices. In Copenhagen, especially,
will they put forth strenuous efforts
in this direction, their interests being
very large and important in the cant.
tai.
While many in Denmark look with
disgust upon the efforts of the mis-
sion people to obtain control of the
government and of communities. it
may be stated that Denmark is apt to
gain more than she will lose by their
political activity. The mission people
will be better able to head off the so
cialist movement, it is believed, than
the other parties that have been in
power. That is because their record
would be without flaws for the social
lists to point at, and because they
have greater zeal and devotion to
principles than members of the old
parties. The socialists have scored on
the party now in power, again and
again, by pointing out discrepancies
and Inconsistencies in it's recorI.
The state church annual meeting
which was held recently cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000 crowns. OF
this amount 1859 crowns were for

ton, and the balance was for various
incidental expenses.
There is proposition before tie
political leaders to increase the mem
bership Of the folketing from ia To-
1876.
