Willy NATIVE KING
HAS PROVED MATCH ron AVARI
cIoUs WHITE MAN.
indian Monarch Of the Mosquito Coast
Of Nicaragua Both FaT-seeing
and Wise Refuses to
Grant Concessions.

DR.. L. E. Flanagan, a former citizen
of Charlottesville, Va, but who has
for the last five years been living at
Cape Gracia, an important town on
the east coast Of Nicaragua, is at the
Belvedere, says the Baltimore Ameri-
can. The doctor is a friend of Gen.
Zelaya, president Of the republic Of
Nicaragua, and has been honored by
him with several important offices.
There is probably no richer coun-
try in the world than Nicaragua" said
DR.. Flanagan. 1T is, however, almost
in a virgin state, as there has been
scarcely any development of it's great
resources. President Zelaya, the able
and energetic chief executive, is CIV
ing the country a most excellent add
ministration and enjoys the absolute
confidence Of the people. The natives
Of the Mosquito coast, as my section
is called, are known as Mosco, Or
Sambo Indians, and are queer mix
ture Of Indian, negro and Caucasian
elements, with the native Indian type
pref nNinating, though most of them
show their strain of African blood by
a Kindness of the hair, while others
are fair-haired and light of skin, as
reminder Of Scotch buccaneer progen-
itors. Not one in fifty of these Sambos
ever slept in bed and not more than
one in five ever handles a piece Of
money. The older members of the
family sleep in hammocks woven from
the fibers of the hennequin or the
banana stalk, while the Juveniles curl
up on the floor. They are about as
near to nature as any people under
the sun, for nature supplies them
with everything necessary to sustain
life.
These Sambos are nominally under
the NicaraSuan government, it is true,
but they pay direct allegiance to
king, monarch Of their own tribe.
His authority extends over many vii
lagos and settlements, embracing a
coast line Of $50 miles, and he is by
no means a figurehead, for in periodi-
cal revolutions he often holds the bal
ance OF power and dictates terms to
the contending leaders. The Mosquito
coast is the most backward. CONNER
cially and industrially. OF all the re.
gions bordering OH the Caribbean, and
for this the Sambo king is directly re.
sponsiblc. He is shrewd enough to
know that wherever the white man
gets footing the native soop van
ishes, and therefore has he refused
the granting of concessions for the
exploitation Of the valuable forests Of
his kingdom, nor will he allow his
subjects to sell their lands. Thus this
willy Indian ruler, who can't write his
name. has managed to hold his terri
tory in its primal state against the
avaricious schemes of the white man
His people obey him unquestionably
and the general government is con-
TO let him alone"

IN LONDON BANKS,
sultan OF Morocco Has 100000
Worth of Jewels There.

AbdulAzi~, sultan of Morocco. Is
taking no chances of losing his per-
sonal jewelry in the course OF one of
the frequently recurring disturbances
In his COT try. Locked I'D in the
vaults Of bank near Charing Cross,
London, the jewels, valued at $4,000.
600, are guarded night and day. They
occ'' a space less than the size
OF a Dushel basket and lie about thirty
feet below the level of the Strand.
Not far away, in the same vault,
are several million pounds worth of
unclaimed jewelry. some Of which was
deposited there during the French
revolution. French people, fearful OF
being robbed IN the reign Of terror,
secretly conveyed their possessions to
London and a vast quantity has been
left uncalled for. The bank authorities
have failed in every effort to locate
the original owners heirs. ..
An offer OF 81 100000 as a loan on
the sultan's jewelry has beon made,
but the sultan is anxious to raise
much more than that.

IN BEDTIME HOURS
SHORT DISCOURSE ON PROPER
METHODS OF SLEEP.
N'riter Declares the Human Race Does
Not Know How Properly to Woo
NATURES Sweet Restorer"-
Beware the Snorer.

Man is the only animal that sleeps
on its back, says the New York Press.
Many animals sleep on their sides,
but most sleep prone-that is, face
down. Dogs never dream when prone,
but invariably do SO when sleeping
on their side. All of us from the
country have seen Bung, the hound,
chasing rabbits in his sleep. An ami
NAL would be perfectly helpless If 1t
slept on it's back And so is man help
less in that position.
If some other fellow wants a fortune
let him invent q pillow that will allow
a man or woman or child TO sleep face
down without having to twist the neck
nearly out of joint. We still style 1t
the "back-up cure" and introduce it in
all hoE1eS. There is no excuse for
lying on the back and keeping the
spine hot all night, while the front of
the body-the abdomen, the stomach,
the chest, the throat, etc.-is allowed
to become chilled. A hot spine is a
disease generator. And, on the other
hand, cold spine is death.
Snoring is an Internal nuisance to
every one except the snorer. People
who sleep on their fronts never snore.
Those who sleep on their backs in
Variably do. The palate as We know
1t is the roof of the mouth and the
hard palate. Back near the throat is
the soft palate. When you sleep OH
your back this gets down about the
breathing apparatus and you snore.
Some shores are worse than the mid
night howl oi hycna. Never marry a
woman that snorcs. Ask her before
you propose if she is addicted to snor
ing, and if she says yea" avoid her.
1t is much easier to relax when
sleeping on yOnr front than when
sleeping on your back And what we
all need after touching the bed at
night is relaxation. 1t Is billion
pities that some scientist cannot teach
the art of relaxing. Our strenuous
life, OF course, is not blamelesS in this
matter We go to bed in excitement,
and the nerves are strung all night.
That is to say, we go to bed IN full
tune, like piano, and cannot possibly
let the Strings uOWn. therefore, we
do not rest. Could We relax we could
sleep four or five hours and arise re-
freshed: but as we cannot relax, we
groan and dream and sweat and roll
over and have rcmorse for eight or
nine hours, and get up with q swelleu
head.
Every man and woman in this coun.
try was brought up with the notion
that If the feet were higher than the
head in sleeping all the blood wouIu
rush to the head and cause strangula-
ton. This is the veriest rot. Ad-
vanced physicians now advocate the
elevated feet for the cure of insomnia.
Hang your legs over the footboard.
get rid Of your pillow, and go to sleep
like an infant. You are on your feet
all day and half the night. Stand on
your head the rest Of the night and let
the blood circulate the other way.
Maybe your brain needs it.

THE last legislature appropriated
for the conduct of the affairs of the
state and for the erection of new
buildings the sum of So, l25, 900, being
something greater than any previous
legislature had granted, but no one
has complained that any portion of
this sum was improvidently or cor
ruptly granted. Thus it will be seen
that it will be necessary to provide a
revenue of S2,342,0O0 during the pres
ent biennium if the state is to be
passed over to the next administra-
tion free from debt.
"We have an assessment roll Of
S250,OO0,0O0, and in the hope of pay.
ing current appropriations and wip.
ing out the deficit the legislature
provided that the state board might,
if it found it necessary to do it, levy
a four mill tax each year. If so
levied it will produce $2,080,000, and
from the insane fund paid by the
counties we will secure approx
mately $220,000 and from insurance
taxes, secretary of states fees and
inheritance taxes we may estimate
about 100000 additional for the
biennium, making total revenue of
$2,530,000 or sufficient to pay all obli-
cations and leave the state with a
sung balance so that the issuance of
emergency warrants in the future
may be avoided.
"a four mill state tax is not an
onerous burden upon our people, and
manifestly it is more than it will be
necessary to levy in the future if we
once pay up our floating debts and
use ordinary economy thereafter in
expenditures.
mo newspaper in the state has
STOOD more strenuously for public
economy than the News; no other
newspaper will be more insist mt than
the News that the traditions of
economy which have characterised
the state from the first be followed
as our settled policy. Up to date the
state has nothing to hide and nothing
to apologize for Misrepresentation
does not help matters at all. Let's
begin being honest for while"

IT is claimed by the Argus Leader
that, while the bill introduced by Con
gressman Hall to put lumber on the
free list possesses merit, the bill will
never amount to anything because
Mr.. Hall is new man, and that new
men can never get anything through
congress. If the ArgusLeader tells
the truth, and we have no reason to
doubt that it is, or thinks it is, it fur
nishes the best of reasons why the
old members in our national legisla-
ture should all be turned out at the
first opportunity. When matters get
to such pass that legislation of merit
is blocked by old members because
the bill happens to be introduced by
a new member it is time to kick out
the old and useless members who
who block good legislation. What do
those old members think of them
selves, anyhow? Do they think that
congress was organized for their es,
pecial benefit, that the eighty mil
lions of people in this country have
no rights, that they, who are elected
by the people, are placed in that high
position for their own personal pleas
ure and gain, they stand in the same
relation to their constituents as does
a farmer to his herd of cattle? If the
Argus Leader is correct, it is time to
make change.

The big tax levy of 1908 twas Al mills
We will admit that. The levy this
year is Al mills. We will admit that
too Yet the levy of 1908 yielded
Sl55,000 less than the levy this year.
We will all have to admit that, for it
is fact. A part of the levy of 1908
was for the purpose of paying off in
terest. The records will show that.
None of the big tax of 1907 was levied
for the purpose of paying off the states
bonds, for the state had not dollar of
bonded debts when Mr., Crawford took
charge of the state. The records will
also show that to be fact. No deficit
was left after the collection of the 1908
tax while this year there will be a de
ficit of over half million dollars,
Thus far the reformers have failed to
show why the state tax this year is
the largest in the history of the state
They cannot Justify the extravaganza.
That is another fact.-Brookings
Press.
But the Press forgot to admit II
mills of the Al mills levy was for a
binding twine plant. The records
will show that. And the Press forgot
to admit that another mill of the levy
was for deficiency left by the old
machine administration. And the
Press forgot to admit that after de
Quoting the deficiency and binding
twine levies the state levy for the con-
duct of state affairs under the present
administration is as low as any in the
history of the state, and that it has
not been so low but once before in
seven years. THAT is another fact"

UNDERGROUND BALLROOM.
How II is Lighted by Day and Night
The Gardens Overhead.

The underground ballroom at Well
beck, where their majesties Of Spain
graced the debut of the duke and
duchess of Portland's only daughter,
has none of the gloomy character OF
G. cellar, says the London Chronicle.
BY day as well as by night 1t is
perfectly lighted, being designed and
built by the old duke as picture gal
lery. 1t is lighted entirely from above,
the fiat, wonderfully decorated roof
being pierced by twenty-seven big oc-
tagonal skylights. built up OF prisms
and recessed from view. The light
falling thus is softened by passing
through rich crimson silk. The eigh-
teen exquisite glass chandeliers which
illuminate the room by night were an
object Of the mysterious dukes partic-
ular care; many sets after being spe-
cially made were ruthlessly rejected
before his taste was pleased.
One notable feature in the room is
the marble bust of the invisible
prince"-as his tenants called him
who constructed the apartment by the
simple process of excavating quarter
of an acre of ground, lining the clay
banks with a double wall, sandwiched
with asphalt to exclude damp, span
ming 1t with iron beams weighing over
twenty tons each and resting on
arches to form the roof.
1t is quite fiat and level with the
garden above, so that one walks over
