THR CHICAGO LAND SHOW
 OF MUCH GOOD 10 THE VALLEY
The Local Exhibit Attracted the Most
 Attention.

C. T. Hirst returned yesterday from Chicago, where he had been looking after the Bartlett Heard Land and Cattle company exhibit in the land and irrigation show. MT Hirst believes that the Salt River valley exhibit and that of the Santa Fe railroad com pany will do this section more good than any demonstration that has ever been made in its behalf
 The valley exhibit, including the ostriches, attracted more attention than any other feature of the show. The crowds so throngcd about it that a policeman had to be stationed near by to keep the people moving One object of wonder and admiration was the house constructed of baled alfalfa hay This was part of the Bartlett Heard exhibit
 Forty thousand people every day saw what the valley had to show Most of these people are the kind of people that it is desired to reach They rep resented farming life in different parts of the country. and large percentage of them are naturally looking for a betterment of their condition That was what took them to Chicago: they wanted to see what the west had to show. and to learn all about the regions which had made this great dis play

THE SLEEPING sWEDE
 GOT AWAKE AT LAST
But He Quickly Reiapsed Into An
 other Unbreaksble Slumber

The sleeping Swede. Charles Nelson. after a continuous slumber of forty hours. awoke yesterday afternoon in the woman's cell of the county jail. Physicians had examined him during the day. but they had been unable to arouse him. Nor could they detect anything the matter with him except sleep. His breathing was regular and the sleep. to all appearance. was natural. Inquiry was made about town for persons possessing hypnotic pow CTS. It was thought that he might be called out of his sleep by that means. but no hypnotists were discovered. Neils Peterson. his employer. who had come over from Tempe. called to see him several times during the day. He said that Nelson had been in perfect health up to the time of his seizure. though he had acted strangely for a few days before.
 On the day before he fell asleep he had been sent to Tempe after some merchandise He returned without it. and when he was questioned he replied that the town was deserted: there was
  there. MT. Peterson. thinking that he needed rest, sent him to another farm of his in that neighborhOod. and it was there he was found asleep the next morning.
 After the doctors had failed to arouse him yesterday it was decided to experiment with him no longer. but to let him have his sleep out. Some food had been prepared for him earlier in the day and that was left in the cell. At four o'clock. some one opening the door found Nelson sitting at the table eating. He said he ras feeling well but he was evidently confused. He said he had no recollection of any thing that had happened for a week. He remembered nothing Of his trip to Tempe. nor did he remember having gone to sleep. He supposed that he was still on the Peterson ranch and asked to see MT Peterson. MT Peter son happened to be in town vet and soon after that he called at the jail.

with the direction that it should be sent to her bv post in an unstamped en- velope. complaining that she had called him "an old pig" and other names.
 It was prabably jealousy. rather than affection. that inspired the following clause in will preserved at Somerset House: Having expiated the errors of a single life by the sorrows of a married one. I now make my will in the full belief that you will outlive me. There are widows. my love. and there are widows. some rejoise and some do not. Those that do are a discriminat- ing lot The bare idea of your joining their ranks is so distasteful that to damp any glee you may feel at my death leave you e10 year instead of the e10O you expected"
 wealthy man left not single penny to his widow unless within the space of five years she married again. in which case he bequeathed to her the sum of e1,000. My object in mak- ing this proviso," continued the testa- tor. 'is that some other man may know from experience some of the difficult ties I have found from living with her"
 During my married life wrote an other disilusioned husband T have always declared that my wife was the dearest woman in the world. and I am convinced that should any one be rash enough to marry her after my death he will find her so. To deter. as far as possible, any one making such a I,1,- I, ing"
 Vanity appears to have been the be- setting sin of the wife of another tes- tator. who left her the sum of f12.000. to be increased to e24.000 provided that after his death she wore a widows cap. which in his lifetime she had stoutly declared she never would wear. My widow wrote the disingenuous doing this, as l think it would suit her" The good lady, however. was as sharp witted as she was vain. for after wearing the odious cap for six months she boldly claimed the in erased legacy. The matter was brought before court of law and to the widows delight judgment was given in her favor on the ground that the tes- ldtoT udu Oinfbteu 10 Stlpuldter tndt tie cap should be worn alwa-s. The week after this decision was given the tri umphant widow was once more a wife.
 It is happily seldom that the re- venge of disappointed husband takes quite such an extereme form as in the case of the man whose will ran thus: When I remember that the only happy times I ever enjoyed was when my wife sulked with me and when I remember that my married life might for this reason be considered to have been a comparatively happy one, because she was nearly always sulking. I am con strained to forget the repulsion the contemplation of her face inspired me with and leave her the sum of e60.000 on condition that she undertakes to pass two hours a day at my grave side for ten years following my decease in company with her sister. whom I have reason to know she loathes worse than she does myself'-Tit-Bits

Though Nelson appeared to be all right 1t was thought better to detain him at least until today.
 That precaution was later shown to have been well advised. Before eight o'clock Nelson had relapsed into his former condition and was sleeping a. soundly as ever Again the most viz orous attempts were made to break his slumber but they were without avail. and it was determined that he could light It out with Morpheus single handed If he does not get awake this morning some other experiment may be tried on him if one can be devised.
