 "A riot" said Maggie, speaking ur like a little drum major.

GOULD HAS STRANGE
 NOTIONS AT NIGHT
Imagines His Wife Tries to Give Him Sleepless
 Powders

Richard Gould. who lives on Broad street, and who is employed as a pol isher at the Jennings Brothers factory was in the city court this morning charged with drunkenness and breach of the peace. He was given Jail sentence, but Judge Foster suspended judgment and placed him in the charge of the probation officer for three months. Dr. F. c. Graves testi- fled that Gould was apparently sane. although his wife told the court that he had the halucination that she was trying to keep him awake by giving him powders that prevented sleep. As these strange ideas came only when he had been drinking and as he had always provided very well for his wife the court was lenient with him.. The charge to which he had to answer this morning arose from a spree which he indulged last Monday, when he created quite a disturbance at his Broad street boarding house.

Swiss EIAqs.

The Swiss flag is red, and it bears Greek cross in it's center. The Sw1tzers declared their independence in 1897, and at the battle of Morgarten, 1915, where the Austrians were defeated, they carried plain red flag without any device. During the seventeenth century a white cross was added, though 1t is said that the cross ap- peared on some Swiss flags as early as 1889. The different cantons Of Swift zerland have different coats of arms and different flags.

The Boy and tho Book.

The Boy and the Book.
 ''The late Edward Everett Hale" said Boston magazine editor, "was great student of child life.
 "Dr. Hale once dilated to me on the incorrigibly bad taste in books that children have. He inStanced the case of his own son, now a famous archi- tect, whose taste he had hard time forming.
 '"The little boy, it seemed, cared only for the sensational in literature. Jack Harkaway and Deadwood Dick seem- ed to him the very topmost pinnacle of literary excellence. He yawned over the splendid historical works his father read to him.
 "One day, however, Dr. Hale had gleam of hope. The little boy brought him a volume of English history and said:
 "ewin you read me some more out of this, pleaseP
 "sWhy, certainly. my boy,' the father answered cordially. What part would you like to have?
 "sRead me- said the little boy, about Mary, queen of Scots, getting her head cut off and the blood all running down her back"
