Why Abe Likened Himself to the Boy
 Without Gingerbread.
 A group of Lincoln's cronies were in his law office once swapping expert ences. spinning yarns and comparing notes on life as they found it. They drifted to the subject of romance and sentiment in life, and the talk at last centered on the bliss of lovemaking, of ''courting" girls and feeling that you made them fall in love with you by your superior charms. Finally some one of the party asked Lincoln for his personal views on the subject.
 Abe strengthened out his lank and ungainly frame, and a quiZZical smile stole across his exceedingly homely face.
 "Gentlemen," he drawled, "I reckon l ain't fully qualified to discuss that point with any great authority. In fact, gentlemen. it reminds me of the story of the poor little country hoy who saw another and more fortunate boy eating a big piece of gingerbread. He begged and pleaded with the other py for at least one bite of the ginger bread, but all in vain, and at last was found sitting alone on a dry goOds box. following the departure of the other boy and the gingerbread. weep ing bitterly.

No mockery in this world ever sounds to me so hollow as that of being told to cultivate happiness. What does such advice mean? Happiness is not potato in mold and titled with ma- nure.

 Friday of last week at 2:11 o'clock il the morning the eclipse of the moon began and lasted until 5:3O o'clock. It was visible in all parts of North America, South America and Central America, and, as the sky was very clear in this section of the country, there was never a better opportunity afforded to observe the eclipse.

SLEEP FOR THE SLEEPLESS
How French Specialist Goes to Work
to Woo Slumber for His Wide
Awake Patients.

A French specialist has come to the
rescue Of persons afflicted with insom
mia. His method is somewhat vaguely
described as "lulling the wideawakes
to Inconsistencies much as babies
are put to slumber."
1T is a perfect palace of peace that
he has opened in lovely Touraine,"
says the Lady's Pictorial. "Here is
never disturbing sound. The silence
is broken only by the absolutely mo
notonous and soothing tick, took, tick
Of solid grandfather clocks, and the
scarcely perceptible drip of unseen
fountains.
Everything is seen through a ceru
leap haze, everybody moves in list
slippers, the air is fresh but full OF
faint perfume. Before the eyes OF
very refractory patients slowly revolve
colored balls, not the smallest rose
leaf being allowed to crumple In any
bed, each being so designed that there
is no possibility of the body growing
weary. Here, in fact, the wooing OF
sleep has been made a positive sci
ence, and 1t is said no one can keep
awake here, however hard he may
try"

DOGS Remarkable lntelliqence.

Thomas Jones, who ownes a big
ranch on San Juan island, lost a col
lie dog last fall for nearly a month,
and for several days searched the
woods about his place zealously for
the animal, without success. One day
he tossed bone to another collie. In.
stead of gnawing 1t, he picked it up
and started for the woods. He kept
turning his head, apparently to see If
he was followed, and Jones concluded
to follow him. The dog tretted along
for about mile and stopped at the
edge of an abandoned well. He
dropped the bone over the edge Of
the we'll Jones got ladder, climbed
down and found the dog that had been
lost. There was only about two inches
of water in the we'll, but the animal
would have starved to death had II
not been for the other. The lost dog
