A STORY FROM THE WEST.

The appended story entitled " A
Useful Dime," was written by Jen-
ME Keen, of Henry, S. D., when IL
years of age. Her father is Edward
Keen, who is son of George Keen,
a former Wayne countean. The
writer of the story received a schol-
arship last year which places her in
the highest grade of the county. She
won the scholarship by holding the
highest percentage in all the grades,
Miss Keen is niece of Captain S.
F. Wells of this place.
"a Useful Dime"
Down the streets skipped Roger,
with the dime clasped tightly in his
hand, straight for a candy store,
where he knew they kept pepper
mints. Oh, how he did like pepper
mints! He could almost taste them
then, when suddenly from behind
Roger! o Roger!" He slipped his
around. His schoolmate, Freddie
Goodwin, came running up. Where
are you going Roger?" he asked.
Now Roger was little bit seleeh
but he remembered his mother al
ways told him to "share and share
alike" and so he said, I'm going
to get some candy, and we'll have a
regular feast" ooh, that will be
nice" cried Freddie, who also liked
candy. But what kind are you go
ing to get?" "Oh, I guess I'll get
peppermints for myself; but what
kind do you want?" said Roger.
We'll" said Freddie meditatively,
II believe l like chocolate creams
the best; but say, how much money
have you got?" 1--WE got a bright,
new dime," replied Roger, putting
his hand into his pocket to show the
dime to Freddie.
Suddenly he exclaimed: "Why,
where is my dime? 1 know l put it
in my pocket" Maybe it fell out"
said Freddie. And so it had. There
was a tiny hole in Rogers pocket
which his mother had overlooked
and the dime was lying in the street
A little while later ragged little
girl came along, looking wistfully al
the show windows as she passed
Suddenly something bright in the
dust caught her eye, and she stopped
and picked it up. 1t was bright
new dime!
The little girl was so surprised
that she rubbed her eyes to be sure
she wasn't dreaming. When she
found that it was really so, and thai
she had actually found dime, she
ran as fast as she could until she go
to a rickety old tenement house
she climbed up several flights o
stairs until she came to a small
dimly lighted attic room,, where hel
mother was lying upon d rude bet
in one cSSner. s..
The litue girl ran over to the bet
and showed her mother the coin
"See, mamma" she cried, 81 founC
dime down in the street."
Run down to store and ge
some bread, quick" said her mother
There is a very tiny bit of butter il

The little girl ran down to a gro
Gerry store and got some bread an,
ran home again.

THE IMPORTANCE OF SLEEP.

A great many people boast about
how little sleep they need The man
who sleeps seven hours a night feels
superior to the person who spends
eight hours in bed; and the man
who apparently can do his work with
only six hours, thinks himself bet
ter than the seven hour man.
This is great mistake. With few
exceptions the only people who can
maintain their health with less than
eight hours sleep are the heroes in
novels. The average person should
have eight hours. Any machine that
is expected to run for seventy years,
needs a considerable amount of rest,
and when that machine is a human
being, plenty of sleep becomes abb
solutely essential.
The body is only completely at
rest during sleep. You sleep not
only to get rid of drowsiness, but
also to give the nerves, muscles and
organs of your body chance to re-
new their energies. Reduce your
hours of sleep and you lower your
ability to resist disease. Therefore
do not hesitate to take nine hours OF
sleep whenever you can. Children
under fourteen years of age should
always sleep for ten hours, and in
deed twelve would not be too many
For grown-ups it matters not sc
much when one sleeps, provided that
one goes to bed regularly at the
same hour. Sleep is one of the
greatest foes of disease. 1t is the
kind of medicine that costs nothing
and it will save you from buying the
kind of remedies that costs lot, sc
why not take pelnty of it?-Karl dC

vention of tuberculosis.

DREHER.

Drener, Jan. 10.
Freeman Gilpin, a son of A. E.
Gilpin, of South Sterling, had a
narrow escape from serious injury
on January 13, while at Gouldsboro
station. He had disposed of his
load of apples and loaded up his
wagon with empty apple and egg
crates and was about to start for
home. An engine was doing some
shifting on the tracks nearby, but
the gatekeeper gave Gilpin the right
of way over the crossing and he
started and at the same time the en-
gine came back and caught his
wagon about midway, throwing Gill
pin to the ground, and both horses
were knocked down and dragged
some Is or 20 feet, bruising and
tearing off patches of skin in a num-
Der of places. The wagon was some
what broken, also the harness, but
not SO serious as to interfere with
his getting home. That the man
and team were not more seriously
injured or killed was a miracle to
those who were eye witnesses. AS
to who is to blame for the mistake
will be known later.

the charge of smuggling surrendered
him, however, and the pugilist was

his bondsmen to leave the state and
had shown evidence Of his intention to
return, there was no necessity OF Jail
