League Suggestions

1t has been suggested by pro-
minent ball player, that in selecting
new officers for the coming series,
the captain and manager be the
recognized leaders Of their r e :
spective teams. Such an arrange
ment, h e claims would provide
that if the two could not be present,
one would surely be able to attend
meetings, and that all protests,
ETC., could be brought before these
officials, thus leaving all power in
. the hands of those most vitally
interested.

1t is with pleasure the writer

to the time Kalakaua was elected
king, Mr.. Parke was marshal un-
der many previous kings, He was
head of the police department of
all the islands. He filled this po-
sition with honor and gained the
respect and admiration of all. He
was man of stern and upright
principles, always re ady at
moments notice to do his duty,
and never forg citing to be merciful
to those who, in his Judgment,
deserved mercy.
His police force, from his deputy

him. Your writer was at one time
in his service on one occasion
when Mr.. Plrke placed his very

In the same calm manner, he

from the barracks. Nor was he
shot, for the GOODNESS of the man,
in the very face of death, over
awed the enemy, who realizing
what was taking place, and fear
ing that the food supply might
also be cut off, opened the big
iron doors to the barracks,
Intense excitement prevailed as

giving forth their objection to their

There stood W, c. Parke, staunch

DEEPEST SLEEP.
II Always Occurs During the First
Hour Of Siumber

Il Always Occurs During the First
Hour Of SIumber.
YES" said the doctor. sleep is a
very puzzling mystery. Nobody knows
what the cause of it is, but we do
know that 1t is always accompa MED
10y anaemia of the brain. In other
words, when you sleep the blood
drains away from the head to the
limbs. II you fell asleep on a bal
ant ed bed. the moment you dropped
off the foot Of the bed would begin to
sink. and the deeper the sleep the
greater the slant.
That is why hot bath tends to
sleepiness. 1t brings the blood to the
skin and so lessons the supply in the
brain. Curiously enough. great cold
has the same effect and for the same
reason. You know how cold swells
and reddens the hands.
Recent experiments have shown
conclusively how pale and bioodless
the brain grows in sleep. How?
Well. a piece of bone hos been remov-
ed from the skull Of a puppy and a
watchglass inserted instead. The mo-
ment the puppy under observation
wakes its brain at once grows pink
again No: the puppy doesn't seem to
mind 1t.
Experiments made by dropping
heavy balls have shown that sleep is
always at its deepest in the first hour.
After that Inconsistencies gets shall
lower and shallower." - London An

THACKERAY AS A TALKER.
A Grand oratorieal Display That Did
Not Take Place.

Not Take Place.
Thackeray was terribly self con-
xcious and usually presented a very
roor appearance when he attempted to
deliver a speech. "Why can't they get
Dickens to take the chair" he grum-
bled when he had to preside at the
general theatrical fund. He can make
a speech. and a good one. I'm of no
use. They little think how nervous
am. and Dickens doesn't know the
meaning of the word
An amusing story is recorded of the
occasion when. with Mr.. Fields. the
well known American publisher
rhackeray travelled to Manchester to
make a speech at the founding Of the
Free Library institution in that town.
The would be orator declared that. al
though Dickens and Bulwer Lytton
and Sir James Stephen were to pre-,
cede him. he intended to beat each Of
them on this occasion. He insisted
that Mr.. Fields should be seated d.
rectly in front Of him so that he should
not miss a single word.
Later. as he rose. he looked at his
friend as much as to say. I'll show

however. the hyenas are too eager and
steal bits OF meat while tho lions are

II have been told that the lion rids

1ng way: He throws a piece Of meat
aside. When the lion is looking the
other way the hyena lodges in aud
rushes of with the meat. Presently
the lion throws another piece Of meat

takes that also. At last the lion throws
a piece very near indeed. The hyena.

GOT A FULL VOTE.
Evsn Though They Had to Go to Jail to
Secure Il.

o0S0Fo &.
That they had some rather advanced
ideas as to the means Of getting out
the vote" In New England a century
ago Is shown by an extract from DR..
Banks History Of Marthas Vineyard
The voting. which occurred in 1907.
was on the question Of the removal Of
the county seat.
Extraordinary means were taken to
get out full vote in Edgartown. The
sailing of ships was delayed for weeks
SO that their crews might vote, and on
the day Of the town meeting 1t was
found that the contest between the
two factions was to be close.
Some one suggested that there were
several voters who. unfortunately de-
prived Of their liberty. were anguish
ing in the town Jail. and IL the jailer
would kindly allow them to step
across the street and vote it would
consume but a few moments OF the
time the prisoners owed to the coun-
ty. The jaiier did not feel that he had
the right to allow a general Jail de-
livery even for such a worthy object.
although it might save Edgartown.
1t was then proposed that the ballot
box be carried over to the gentlemen
who were incarcerated. The point
was then raised that all ballots must
be cast in open meeting and in the
presence of the election officials. New
ertheless astute minds found a way
out Of this awkward dilemma. A mo-
ton was made and carried that the
meeting adjourn to the Jail. There the
ballot box was carried to the door Of
each prisoners cell, and the imprtson-
ed voters reached through the bars
and deposited their ballots.
