We believe comparatively few of the
patrons of the rural free delivery ser
vice look at it other than in a matter
of fact w2y. They do not stop to con-
slider the benefits and blessings be-
slowed by the faithful carrier, who
daily and regularly visits their mail
boxes and keeps them in touch with
the outside world. 1t is true, they
are paid to do this, and the patrons
claim they are taxed for the service;
admitting all of this, is it not selfish
and unprogressive to act indifferently
without regard to hardships of the car
rier and the enormous expense of the
government in offering this blessing.

Alderman Goree Resigns.

Alderman, o. S. Goree has moved
from Ward 5 and has rendered his res
ignation as alderman from that ward
to take effect on April 16. The city
council has not yet ordered an election
for the vacancy, but as soon as this is
done the executive committee of the
Democratic party for the city will
probably order a primary as it is un-
derstood that there will be two or
more candidates. In fact, this issue
of The Herald and News carries the
announcement of Mr. W. H. Hardeman
and Mr.. L. AATew for the position.

sieepIessness Cures.
Cassoday

II you are troubled with sleepless-
ness, try one of the following simple
remedies before going to a doctor with
the plea that he give you something
to make you sleep:
Drink a glass of warm water before
going to bed instead of the usual glass
of cold water. Sip it slowly. and if pos
sible eat a small biscuit or cracker
with it.
Avoid all mental exercise for at least
half an hour before retiring; allow the
brain to rest and become calm before
you attempt to sleep.
Stand before an open window and
breathe deeply, inhaling through the
mouth and exhaling through the nose;
then lie down and continue doing this
until sleep overtakes you
Keep the eyeballs looking down. or
roll them from one side to the other,
counting each time they move.
This is the principle by which we
are told to count sheep eaping over a
log The sound of water dropping
slowly into pan or the ticking of a
clock viii occupy and quiet the brain,
and looking steadily at one object or
point of light will bring the blessing
of sleep to weary, wakeful eyes.

cars. A strange fancy in an old man
but We lawyers are used to these
strange streaks in human nature.
They were on an automobile tour
when the accident occurred. The car
ran into a ditch somewhere along the
boundary between two states of the
middle west, and both men were killed.
Witnesses proved that the father died
instantly, while Ralph Brent lived just
ten minutes longer than his father.
That was where l came into the
story. For the will was so drawn
that if the father died first all the
property-valued at about six millions
went to the son and his heirs. AS
there were no heirs this meant that
some distant relatives would inherit
it. If the elder son died first the will
became null and void, and the prop
erty went to Jack, who was then
ranching in California. His wife had
made him a successful man In a small
way-but I wanted her to get the
money with all my heart. And I did
rot want it to go to the flock of vuI-
lures who came out of the uttermost
parts of Massachusetts, greedily de-
handing their moiety. You see, I had
sought out and found Mrs. Jack, and
her soft voice and gentle ways went
right into my heart, and stayed there.
And the thing that most astonished
me was that she did not seem to care
whether she got the money or not.
We'll, the case came up for trial.
Ferdinand Quipp, the famous legal
light, appeared for the claimants, and
the decision seemed inevitable. Wit
ness after witness swore that Ralph
Brent had survived his father by sew
eral minutes 1 went home feeling
pretty blue the evening after the other
side had rested its case; and yet, the
harder thought, and the more hope
less our chances seemed, the more
determined that Mrs Jack Brent
should get what ought to have been
coming to her
I'VE had offered to compromise for
a quarter share, and our offer had
been most impolitely laughed at. The
claimants seemed sure of their case
as did Quipp, who bullied Mrs. Jack
numerically, dragged out her past
into the light, and called her a design
ing actress and a worthless schemer-
much to the delight of the opposing
party.
CAS- I've said, I went home and
thought and thought and thought, and
at last don't know why-I got out
my big map OF the United States and
pored over it. Then 1 got my state
map and pored over that. had hoped
to create some effect by the point
two men had died In different states
In fact the road was the dividing line,
Ralph Brent fell into one state and
the father in an adjoining one But
that didn't seem Of any particular
value-merely curious
