When the ballots are collected the votes can be checked off for, each nominee in full view of the voters and the five nominees receiving the highest votes are to be the choice of the meeting as delegates from the respective district from which they are nominated. This plan strikes the majority of the lead- CTS in the party as being the most desirable from every point of view, as it gives every voter in the party g. free and open chance to vote for the delegates he most desires to send to the convention.
 It is argued by. those supporting this plan that if nominations are called for and elected immediately after the first five names put in nomination will be the ones seiect- ed as delegates, and all others would thus be eliminated. It must be under stood by each person in ths meeting Friday night who makes a nou1ina- ton that the man he is nominating is sure to be in attendance at the con- vention and at all sessions.

HE DEPENDED ON HIS WIFE
How the Nearsiehted Old Man Al
most Slept Himself to Death,
Never Eating.

1t seems that an old man with some
property had married an elderly lady.
The lady was a sprightly dame, execu-
tive, lively and keen. The bridegroom
could not see more than an inch be-
yond his nose, and he was pretty hard
OF hearing. too. So he depended a good
deal on his wife, you understand He'd
wake up in the morning and wonder II
il wasn't time to get up for breakfast
So he'd slide out of bed and look into
his wife's room. If she was up, he'd
begin dressing; if she was still in the
hay, he'd go back and have another
nap. Well. the lady got on to this habit
OF his. She fixed up a dummy out OF
bedclothes one morning Just before
she went downstairs. The old man
came into the room an hour later,
squinted at the bed and said, Annals
still asleep" and went right back to
the feathers. After he had slept
awhile he took another observation.
Same business.
II was ten days before he found out
how his wife had been fooling him. He

meanwhile. He never had a meal and
he got weaker and weaker, but he

SOME FACTS ABOUT SLEEP
Caused by Withdrawal of Blood
From the Brain, Says Modern
Physiology.

All the organs of life rest in some
way or other. The heart has an in
terval of rest between each combined
act of contraction and expansion and
the beginning of a fresh act. Be
tween each expiration of the lungs
and the succeeding inspiration there
is a period of repose. Psychologists
have calculated that the heart re-
poses during about one-fourth of the
time.
Certain of the other organs suspend
their activity in part during sleep.
Old Psychologists supposed that sleep
was caused by the pressure of the
blood on the brain. But modern
physiology, with a tendency to regard
the brain as the origin of all force
and of all functions of the body, in
clines to the view that sleep il
caused by a withdrawal OF blood from
the brain.
As a rule. the larger the brain the
more sleep 1t requires. Webster went
to bed at nine o'clock and rose at
five. General Grant used TO say, dur
ing his campaigns, Il can do moth
ing without nine hours sleep"
4 curious trait has marked men OF
large brain-that of sleeping at will
Bonaparte used to throw himself on
the ground and go to sleep within
a space OF two minutes. Pitt was q
sound sleerer, and slept night after
night in the house of commons while
his colleagues watched the debate
and reused him when it was neces
sary that he should speak.

MORALITY OF THE ELEPHANT
He Makes Cats Paw Of Boys Hand
to Steal the unhusked
Rice.

Singular as it may seem, elephants
which have associated with men en-
terrain the notion that, under special
circumstances, they are not RESPONSE
bic if they utilize another to commit
an Illegal act. The following is an in
stance of this elephantine morality:
A man in Rangoon bought three
young elephants to send to England.
They We're tame and playful, but cum
ming. Knowing that it was wrong to
steal paddy (unhusked rice)-the idea
had doubtless been impressed upon
them by punishment for stealing
they would not touch ii themselves
But if a boy went to see them, he
would be seized by one, the little
trunk would be coiled around his arm.
and he would be led to where the
paddy was kept in bags
The elephant would make a cats
paw of the boys hand to take up a
handful OF paddy. Then, letting go,
he would turn up the end of his trunk.
open it, and coaxingly invite the boy
to drop in the paddy.
Should the boy, however, put it
back in the bag, his arm would again
be seized by the trunk, and his hand
would be again inserted into the paddy
bag.
The boy, anxious to be released,
would usually drop the paddy into the
trunk, and the elephant would blow
the rice into his mouth. After re-
peating the operation several times,
the elephant would scamper on, feel
ing that he had got the paddy with
out stealing it--Harper's Weekly.
