The following method is described
as one which is almost certain to WOO
slumber with success. On going to
bed you assume a comfortable atti-
tude in which every muscle is relaxed
but not the attitude in which you are
accustomed to go to sleep. though
something resembling 1t. Every move
ment, coughing. yawning, are strictly
repressed, especially the desire to
turn over. The same attitude is main
tanned without change. constantly re-
sisting the longing to move or turn
over.
4, AS a rule, by the end of IL or 20
minutes Of this persistent mainten-
ance OF the same attitude you win
find yourself growing very drowsy
and then, just as the desire to turn
over 6ecoirrhDn cp1nty,iy uncontroll-
able, you turn with the least posi-
Bile effort, and assume the position
in which you habitually go to sleep
and natural sleep follows at once.
This method, 1t is claimed, seldom
fails and should be given a thorough
trial. at least before resorting to
drug to bring sleep.

like mere black dots. It could scarce

answered after a deliberate inspec-

Hamlin's eyes followed the long
sweep OF the cross-ridge, studying its
trend, and the direction Of the inter
vening valleys. Once down on the
other slope all this extensive view
would be hidden; they would have to
ride bllndly. guessing at the particular
swale along which those others were
advancing. To come to the summit
again would surely expose them to
those keen Indian eyes. They would
be searching the trail ahead ceaseless-
ly, noting every object along the
crests Of the ridges. However. II the
passage around was not blocked with
snow. they ought to attain the junction
in ample time. With twice as far
to travel, their ponies were strong and
fit and should win out against lie

REALLY OLD ENOUGH TO VOTE
Young Man Painfully DisIiiusioned
When He Realized the Age
Of His Charmer.

A small theatrical company touring
the provincial towns had as juvenile
leading lady an actress who delighted
the audiences everywhere. She was
so bright and fresh and girlish that
the male portion of the audiences
promptly fell in love with her. One
evening youthful admirer sought out
the manager OF the company. fine

ERROR EASILY TO BE SEEN
Miner Went at Once to the Root Of
the Trouble, as He Had II
Sized Up.

A miner, who was proud of his boys
attachments at school, one evening
picked up home lesson book and
read from it a quotation which ran
like this: Some books should be tast-
ed, some swallowed, and some chewed
and igested.--Bacon." Turning to
his boy, he said:
What's this, sonnie? Thou doesn't
eat books at school, does tina? l know
you are very clever, but you cannot do
those nanny-goat tricks, I'm sure. I'll
warrant thatll be one of those print
er's errors, sonnie."

aphorically speaking, we eat books"

said the father. II didn't go to school
very long, but ken that's one of those
printers errors. Why, sonnie, can

They advanced thus for two hours,
making no attempt to force their ami
mails. and scarcely exchanging a word,
both men watchful of the snow under
foot In search OF possible trail, when
the character Of the country began to
change. The level plain broke into
series OF ridges of irregular forma-
ton. all evidently heading toward
some more southern valley. In the de-
pressions the snow lay banked in deep
riffs. and. after plunging desperately
through two of these, unable to judge
correctly In the dim light where to
ride, Hughes turned more to the
south. skirting along the bare slope of
ridge. trusting some turn lower
down would yield them the necessary
westerning.

They rode on steadily, keeping down
below the crest of the hills, yet pick
ing passage where the snow had
been swept clear. The slipperiness of
the incline made their progress slow,
as they dared not risk the breaking of
horses leg In that wilderness, and
the faint glimmer was most confusing.

Carroll. supporting himself by the
table. crept across to the door and
watched them, reckless as to the en-
tering cold. The glare of the white
snow revealed clearly the outlines of
the disappearing horsemen, as they
rode cautiously down the bank. The
thin fringe of shore ice broke under
the weight OF the ponies hoofs. as the
riders forced them forward into the
Icy water. A moment later the two
crept up the sharp incline OF the op-
posite shore. appearing distinct

summit. HanIin waved his hand, and

Hughes turned his horses head to

a shaggy, grotesque appearance In
the spectral light reflected from the
snow. Without word Hamlin fol-
lowed, pace behind. Their route lay
for the FIRST few miles across a com
paratively level plateau. over which
the fierce wind Of the late storm had
swept with such violence as to leave
the surface packed firm. The night
shut them in silently. giving to their
surroundings a mournful
