Another Fatality.

HOUSTON, Texas, October G.
With what is probably the second
fatality here in the Hartman lines
strike staring them in the face,
city officials today prepared for Wig
orous measures to prevent further
clashes.
Meanwhile Frank Tullis, Harri-
man line guard, lies near death
from wounds that strikers say
were inflicted by shots fired by fell
low guards. The guards say the
bullets came from beneath cars
that faced the position they occu-
pied. The shooting occurred early
today near the shops of the Gal
weston, Houston and San Antonio
railway.
SACRAMENTO, October g.
Southern Pacific officials sent out
warnings today to all stations on
the Sacramento division, directing
trainmen to inspect passenger train
equipment for the purpose of de-

step handle-holds by the removal
of screws which fasten them to the
sides of coaches.
Cars sent out in the last two OF

A kina and a Miller.

Every reigning member of the
Hohcnzollern dynasty has been not
ed for his sense of fair play in deal
ing with his subjects. 1t is said that
the Emperor Frederick the Great
was greatly annoyed by the pres
ence of flour mill that stood close
by one of his palaces in Berlin. The
miller refused to sell his mill and
insisted that he should retain pos
session Of it as long as he lived.
The emperor stormed at him with
out avail and finally threatened to
drive the miller out by force and
confscate his property. The daunt-
less miller replied to his threat by
saying, "There are still judges in
Berlin, your majesty" This reply,
which has since become famous
throughout Germany, impressed the
emperor so fayorably that he with
drew both his threat and his re-
quest, and the -four mill is standing
to this day.

Perhaps the best word for the cry
of the cricket is that of Tennyson,
''Not a cricket chirr'd," he writes
in "In Memoriam." But Tennyson
was always curiously exact in his

than "the moan of doves in imme-

at is interesting to observe the
panied expression on the face of a
depositor when one stamps 'Coun-
terfeit' on a bill he has brought us
TO find out whether it is bad or
not" said bank clerk. "The man
had his doubts or he wouldn't have
brought in the bill, and it is the
stamp rather than the discovery
which makes him downcast.
eff he objects to the stamp he is
reminded that surely he wouldn't
care to pass a forged bill, and nat
urally there is no answer to that.
But just the same he is likely to
look panied when the red stamp is
put on and whatever possibility
there was of his accidentally pass
ing the bill goes by the board"

PNEUMONIA.
It's Best Friend Is Bad Cold That Has
Been Neglected.


Been Neglected.
Pneumonia is not dreaded mere
ly for its power to seize and kill
quickly, but also for its apparent
power to select the most unlikely
victims. Most persons have lived
through the shock of hearing that
some friend had suddenly died of
pneumonia-a friend from whom
they had parted but few days or
even hours before, leaving him at
what seemed the highest notch of
physical well being and perhaps
protesting that he did not know
what illness meant.
This disease is most dangerous to
the apparently strong, robust peo-
pie of heavy weight and hearty ap-
petite, although it may attack any
one, for its germs are omnipresent.
The strong and full blooded indi-
vidual who is at the same time
something overweight is especially
in danger of pneumonia and should
take particular care to avoid it. If
his diet is too heavy-and that may
safely be assumed-it should be
ruthlessly cut down, especially as to
meat and the elimination of alcohol.
The weighing scale is a good
friend to such person and should
be consulted regularly. The scale
does not argue about that extra
pound or two--it proves it-and aft

and height has been determined 4

1t is related of a gifted eccle-
siastic, Bishop Munster, that, re-

"The master of the house is out"
he calmly remained in front of the

Buxton, the mathematical prod

Sailors Yarns and rIents G: r1ncy
Recorded as Facts.

In the old days, before the ex-
plorcrs had so thoroughly mapped,
chartcd and otherwise made known
to all the mysterious places of the
earth, geography must have been a
vastly more interesting, even fasci-
mating, study than it is today. So
little was known positively about
the distant world and SO much de-
pended on the tales of seamen that
it would seem each geographer
chose his facts to suit himself. The
result was that there was a never
ending variety about the old geog-
raphies.
The joint snake" declared the
author of Geography Made Easy"
more than a hundred years ago, ''is
great curiosity. Its skin is as hard
as parchment and as smooth as
glass. 1t is so stiff it can hardly
bend itself into a hoop and so brit
tie that when it is struck it breaks
like a pipestem. You may with a
whip break it into pieces not an
inch long and produce not the least
tincture of blood"
'In California" the old geog-
raphy stated, "there fall in the
morning great quantities Of dew,
which, settling on the rose leaves,
becomes hard like mamma, having
all the sweetness Of refined sugar
without its whiteness."
Another curious fact set forth by
the old time geographer was that in
the Friendly islands the great men
were fond of a singular kind of lux
ury, which was to have some one sit
beside them all night and beat on
different parts of their body until
they went to sleep, after which they
would relax little of their labor
unless the subject appeared likely
to wake, in which case the opera
tors would redouble their exertions
until the subject was again fast
asleep.
The diversions of the Scots, as
given in the ancient geography,
were dancing, goff and curling.
The goff is a species of ball playing
performed with bat and ball, the
extremity Of the bat being loaded
with lead, and the party which
strikes the ball with fewest strokes
into hole wins the game"
To the'question, ''What curiosi-
ties are there in France" this re-
ply is made: GA fountain near Gre
noble emits flame which will burn
paper, straw, ETC., but will not burn
gunpowder. Within about eight
leagues of the same place is an in
accessible mountain in the form OF
pyramid reversed"
In like manner the old geogra-
pliers ranged from Australia to
New England, setting forth the
most marvellous matters. - New

MINOR INSOMNIA.
Causes of Seeplessness and the Way
to Treat Them.

In considering the treatment OF
insomnia it is well to treat the sub
ject under two hcads-major in
somnia and minor insomnia.
Major insomnia, happily, is a dis
ease that concerns few persons, and
its treatment is matter for the
trained physician only. 1t may be
associated with severe organic dis
ease, or it may be the beginning Of
acute insanity. These cases, of
course, are neither for home dag
nosis nor for home treatment But
almost any one, sooner or later, and
for one reason or another, may be
called upon to deal with minor in
somnla.
In such case the first thing is
to look for a reason. When a per-
son who is habitually a good sleep
er has Il restless, tossing, wakeful
night the reason is generally not
hard to find. \ mistake has been
made somewhere. and in most cases
a dietary mistake. The last meal
was either too large or too late. or
ii contained some substance that
refused to be digestcd.
The insomnia of Indigestion is a
particularly disagreeable type, as
il is allied with a nervous restless
ness which not only forbids the suf-
ferer to sleep. but makes him feel
as if lie would never sleep again,
and keeps him turning and tossing
in mind rs well us in body. This is
the kind which makes mountains
out Of all the molehills and dark
ems the thought Of the coming day.
Discretion is the better part of
yalor in such case. 1t is waste Of
time to toss and try. Get up speed
ily and move about for awhile.
slowly drinking several glasses of
water. Realize carly that until YOU
have helped your stomach to the
victory you will not sleep.
On the other hand, an empty
stomach may keep you awake just
as obstinately as an overfull one.
In this case, however, the answer is
easy-a cup of hot milk slipped
slowly will generally do the deed.
Some people keep themselves
wakcful by getting mentally excit-
ell late in the evening, and of all
forms Of mental excitement, anger
and fear are the worst. To lie and
fight your enemy in your magma
ton is a sad misuse of the blessed
darkness.
Many people find it wise 10 cool
their brains at the end Of the day
with a little light reading or sooth-
ing talk, keeping their problems
and their politics for the daytime.
Some fairly good sleepers accuse
themselves of insomnia simply be-
cause it bores them to lie awake,
and every minute is magnifed into
an hour. These should learn that
little occasional wakefulness is not
to be counted tragedy.-1 outh'S
Companion.
