Returned bv The cIaeier.

One of the first instances on record
of a body returned by a Swiss glacier
is that of the Hamel accident, which
took place In 1920 Several guides
were swept down by an avalanche and
hurled into a crevasse. Hamel prophe-
sled that the glacier would yield them
up again in the course Of thousand
years, but DR.. Forbes believed that
the end of the glacier would be reach
ed by the bodies in forty years. This
statement was considered bold, but
its accuracy was borne out by the
event. In forty years the flow Of Ice
brought the bodies to light
In 1886 Henry Arkwright was lost
in a glacier. In just thirty-one years
his brother received telegram from
the mayor Of Chamouni that the body
was found. Every article Of clothing
was intact His name and regiment
could be read clearly on his handker-
chief, and his gold pencil case opened
and shut as easily as when he last
used 1t three decades before.-''True

A Cure For Insomnia.


Next time your slumber fails to ar
rive on schedule time cast all thought
Of sleep from your mind and start in
to name to yourself all the friends
you have had or now possess. It's
much more interesting than counting
sheep. Perhaps you have only one
friend, but one is enough-he may be
the more appreciated. Just think of
how you came to know each other. of
how the friendship developed and of
the happy incidents that have marked
your acquaintance. Or, if you have
no earthly friends whatever, let your
thought dwell upon the great Friend
Of the friendless and how you came to
know him. Somehow the most pre-
cious of our earthly friendships seem
poor compared to this one that dis
lance and time and even death itself
cannot sever And there is one advan-
tage in this attempt to defeat in
somnia-even your wakefulness viii
be enjoyable and restful.-

rage, challenging him to the combat
Not a moment is wasted in prelimi

sand flies as the warriors push each
other hither and thither until at last
one of them stretches himself out In
the sun tired to death. But he does
not beg for mercy or attempt to run

together in defiance of the foe. That
foe comes closer, and with his claws
trembling with joy at his victory the
conquerer catches hold of one claw OF
the vanquished crab, twists it until Il

r.. Mscret a : Detective.

In America the magnet has come
rather extensively into use in the ham
ding of iron and steel castings. Sus-
pended from a locomotive crane, 1t
can also be used for collecting scraps
of metal from floors and yards. Large
amounts are said to be saved in this
way. And as the magnet moves over
the ground it may bring to light pieces
which have mysteriously disappeared
concealed, it may be, by employees
to hide blunders in their work. Some
years ago in England the magnet was
found useful in a somewhat similar
way In the detection of fraud. Manu-
facturers of bone manure found that
they were buying old iron along with
the bones. Collectors found that it
was prontable to insert bits Of old
metal in the larger bones and thus in
crease the weight. So the manufac-
turers provided themselves with a
powerful magnetic apparatus under
which all the bones were passed be-
fore being weighed AS the bones
were slid along broad groove large
one would suddenly jump up and
cling to the wall where the magnet
was concealed On examination ii
would be found to contain perhaps a
rusty old poker in place Of marrow

LESLUMBARD DYING.
Veteran Campaign Singer and One of
Few Remaining Characters of Civil
War Nears End

CHICAGO, Ill, April S.-Jules Lum-
bard, known throughout the country as
a veteran campaign singer and Republic
an worker, and one of the few remaining
characters of the Lincoln campaign, is
dying at the home Of his sister-in-laW in
this city.
President Lincoln credited Mr.. I.um-
bard with raising 10000 troops for the
northern cause during the Civil war.
Late in the struggle when the fever of
enlistment had greatly waned, Mr.. Lum-
bard stood on the courthouse steps in
Chicago and sang Rally Round the
Flag, Boys" with a spirit and fervor
which resulted in the recruiting of sew
eral companies on the spot.
In every Republican campaign since
his powerful voice has been raised in
song for the party of which he was an
enthusiastic member. He worked hard
during the campaign of last fall, despite
his seventy-seven years, and shortly aft
erward was stricken with paralysis from
which his death is expected to result at
any moment.
For a great many years the old singer
was in charge of the Pennsylvania rail-
roads traffic affairs in the Transmissis-
sippi territory with headquarters at
Omaha. He retired twelve years ago
from that position on a pension granted
by the company.

the mysterious disappearance of For

left his home in this city a week ago
Monday. At that time he told his wife
he was going to Madison in quest of
work, but would return on the evening
train. He did not come. but Mrs Beck
or did not become very alarmed over
his unusual absence until last SATURDAY.,
She went to Madison and made inquir-
les at the Simons' hotel, where Mr.
Becker always stopped when in the cap
ital city. Her search, however, failed
to disclose even the slightest fact that
he had even stopped in the city. Mrs.
Becker then went to Fort Atkinson,
where it was thought Mr.. Becker might
be visiting a sister. The latter trip
was also a disappointment and not the
slightest trace of the missing man could
be found. Mrs. Becker is now at her
home i'll Stoughton and the matter has
been placed in the hands of the police.

SOLONS IN AN UPROAR.
Pennsylvania House Has Turbulent SEES
sion Lasting Until Sunrise Over
Lengthy Bill.

HARRISBURG, Pa, April S.-After
one of the most extraordinary sessions
ever held by the Pennsylvania House Of
Representatives, session that lasted I'M
til sunrise this morning, the fate of the
bill which undertakes to codify and re-
wise all the school laws of the state
still hangs in the balance with good
chances of it going down to defeat unless
some method is found to harmonic the
opposing factions.
1t was Il turbulent, uprOarious session
during which the chair was compelled
several times to invoke the authority Of
the sergeant-at-arms to bring about some
semblance of order. The bill contains
266 pages and more than $4,000 words.
Only forty-six pages had been disposed
of when consideration was interrupted
by a motion to adjourn. The slow prog
ress made was due to flibuster inaugu-
rated early last night by opponents Of
the bill.
As the first forty-six pages of the bill
stand the authors of the code would
hardly recognize them. The bill as far
as considered is a patch work of amend
ments, early every section having been
altered.
