81 to 81. and eight hours to all at lat
er stages. He has seen painful in
stances of the mediate effects of in
suffieiency of sleep in highly strung,
sensitive boys at public schools that
the evils of deficient brain rests were
encountered. The rest cures of which
they now heard so often had, he fam
cied. in many cases to be undertaken
merely to make up in the arrears of
sleep in early years. The sleep of the
rising generation was being detrimen-
tally nterferred with, and the conse-
quences must be a rich crop of neu-
rasthenia and mental enfeeblement in
the future. Enormous numbers OF
young children got but snatches OF
adulterated sleep with no brain nour-
ishment in it, and went to school in
the morning unrested, the despair of
the teacher and a reproach to civiliza-
fiOn.

Pelky and Madden
AtCity Hall, Tonight.

Everything is in readiness for the
greatest fistic exhibition ever seen in
Maine to be held at City hall, this
Thursday evening, and from all indi
cations record breaking crowd will
be on hand to show their appreciation
of the managers efforts in procuring
high-class talent for Eastern fans.
Arthur Pelkey arrived in town. early
Wednesday morning, and looks to be
in the pink of condition. He entertains
no doubts, whatever, as to the out
come of the battle expecting this to
result as has all his battles in a vic
tory TO his credit After attending
church IN the morning, he took a 10
mile spin, and after a good rub down
expressed himself as perfectly salts
fed with his physical condition. He
SAYS that his plan will be to carry the
fighting to his opponent from the gong
as this method has resulted in a VIC
tory every time he has appeared in the
ring.
Jeff Madden is noted as a mixer with
terrible wallop that has nearly al
ways brought him the victory. In his
two fights with Jeanette he fought
that premier colored fighter to the ropes
three fourths of the time and thus
earned a draw in each of the contests.
Langford mas always e-stepped all
OPPORTUNITIES to meet Madden, which
has been a big disappointment to- the
wiley Irshman, for he has always
been confident that his aggressive tao
tics would prove too strenuous for the
colored man. The first event will be
called at about $50 and no time will
be lost from then till the entertain
ment has been concluded.
Tickets can be procured at Perry's
restaurant, till o'clock p. NJ, and
thereafter at City hall. Great interest
is being shown in the Kid Dennis
Trepanier bout and a large number
will DE in attendance from Waterville
to root for their boy Dennis.
