Sufferer Holds Up Court.

When Hugo Greysmuhl was ar
raigned in the Milwaukee District
court, on the charge Of having stolen
Sc from a companion in a saloon, the
first question, and albeit the only ques-
ton, propounded to him by the court,
was as to his age. For several min
utes Hugo was unable to reply. Final
ly, when the patience of the court was
well nigh exhausted, he managed to
a~rticulate:
I'LL st-st-st-u-t-t-er, Judge, and &C.

ell how old | am, b-b-bebe-cc-a-use
I'm g-g-g-rowing wh-wh-while I TIT
talk"
Five minutes later, while the attor.
neys were arguing, Hugo interrupted
their flood of oratory with the remark:
Observation-Disclosures, Viii.
Judge"
That's a hard age to have, my boy"
replied the court. II think about six
months in the house of correction will

"B-b-b-bu-t, %j-j-j-judge-"
You can finish that remark when
you get out" snapped the court. Call
the next case."-New York Telegram.

MUST HAVE PROPER SLEEP
Mother of School Child Should Insist
on This as Matter Of Highest
Importance.

The mother who has a child at
school may not be able to help him
with his lessons--for the modern sys-
tenn of teaching rather deprecates
home assistance, l believe, but there
Is one thing she a do for him which
will benefit him even more, and that is
to see that he gets enough sleep.
1t Is only lately that physicians
have been emphasizing the need Of
sleep for children. insufficient sleep
affects the nerves, the temper, the d.
gestion, the mental .quickness and
even the morals of children. The
child who gets enough sleep is the one
who is bright and quick mentally, who
grows normally and we'll, who eats
properly and who is not 'peevish and
irritable.
An early supper and an early bed
time are the things for the school
child. Then put him In a well venti-
lated bedroom and let him have ten
or eleven full hours of slumber, and
he'll wake up bright and healthy and
good, too.
Many of the little whining, nervous
children we see r simply suffering
from lack Of sleep. Many small
naughtinesses simply come from tired
nerves and WEAKNESS Of mind and
body. So many mothers notice such
a difference in the behavior of chill
dren once they have started to school
and are at a loss to understand the
reason. 1t Is because the daily nap
which the child took before he went
to school has been given up, but the
bedtime hour has not been changed.
Consequently the nerves Of the child
suffer.
Try giving the school child supper
at half-past FIVE. a n%ourlshing and cas-
lily digested supper, too. Then at
eight, promptly pack him off to bed.
II he doesn't sleep let him sip a cup
OF hot milk, and sit beside him until
he drowses off. Sleep is a largely ac-
1uired habit and will be easily &C.
quired In a few evenings. And, oh,
the difference 1t will make to the child
In every way.-Exchange.

nail a couple Of cleats across the
underside Of the board. IL 1t Is wide
or of thin wood, to prevent 1t from
splitting along the center. The east
est way to cut the end notches is by
first boring an inch hole at the inner
end Of each hole and then splitting
out the wood with a chisel. The rope
for this seat is Topped from n fasten-
ing to the other, in one piece.
A seat attached in the manner
shown in Fig. 6 is easier to sit upon,
on account of being supported at four
corners. The Illustration shows how
the holes are bored through the seat
and cleats, and how the ropes are
slipped through the holes and their
ends tied in a "bow-line" knot Is or
20 inches above the seat.
When the swing framework is
raised into position, spike the inner
upright CAY to the fence or shed wall
which is to be used for support, and
brace the outer upright OBJ with dag
onal pieces Of board CD spiked to it
and to stakes (E) driven into the
ground.
If you fasten the swing ropes to a
tree limb, Fig. 1 and the detail draw
ing, Fig. Z, show how the ends should
be tied with a Glove hitch" Be sure
to wrap some heavy cloth. such ais po-
tato sacking, burlap or pieces of car
pet, around the tree limb, before pass
ing the rope around it, to protect the
bark from injury.
Long, straight poles may be used
instead of ropes. If you live near the
woods, you can easily get a couple
Of poles of the right size; if not, per-
haps you al get two rug poles, which
will serve equally we'll. Bore a three
fourths-inch or one-inch hole through
each pole about eight inches from one
end, and, after knotting the end OF
a piece of, three-fourths-inch or one
inch rope four or five feet in length,
slip it through the hole and pull the
knotted end tight against the pole Of,
Fig. 9);s then bind the rope to the
pole by wrapping with heavy cord, as
shown at G Zig. 81. The free end Of
the rope should be secured to the tree
branch with a "clove hitch" (H. Fig.
81, or to crosspiece c of the frame
work as shown in Fig. 3. The ends of
the board seat are notched to fit
around the poles, and the cleats l

around the poles as shown in Fig. II,
To keep the seat from slipping off of

CHAPTER VIII.-continued.

WheL daylight came, they found
they had not travelled far from the
scene of the nights disaster; or, If
they had, the Jeanne A'Arc had drift
ed with them. She was still aioat,
and Just as the sun rose they saw
her, apparently not far away, tossing
tudderless to the waves. There was
40 sign of the ships boats.
At the renewed miracle Of light,
and at sight of the yacht, Jimmy's
hopes were reborn. His spirit bathed
in the wonder of the day and was
made strong again. The night with
its horrors of struggle and its dark
ness was past, forgotten in the flush
of hope that came with the light.
Together they struck out toward
the yacht, fresh with new courage.
Now that he could see plainly, Jim
swan always a little behind Agatha,
Keeping a watchful eye. She still
took the water calamity, nose and
closed mouth just topping the wave,
like a spaniel. An occasional side
stroke would bring her face level to
the water, with a backward smile for
der companion. He gloried In her
spirit, even while he feared for her
strength.
1t was a longer pull to the yacht
than they had counted upon, a heavy
tax on their powers Of endurance. Jim
came up to find Agatha floating on her
back and put his hand under her
shoulders, s~teadying her easily.
Now you can really rest" he said.
i've looked toward the horizon so
Tong, I thought I'd look up, way up,
for a change" she said cheerfully.
That's where the skylarks go, when
they want to sing-straight up into
heaven"
Doesn't it make you want to
sing%
She showed no surprise at the
question.
Yes, it does, almost. But just as
1 thought of the skylarks, l remem-
bered something else; something that
kept haunting me in the darkness all
