Most of the Statues at the Capital Face North

~ NE of the criticisms made against
" the Sherman monument at the
south of the treasury is that it faces
the wrong way; that is, it faces to the
north, so that persons looking at it
from the front must generally look
against the light, thus obscuring their
vision Of the details Of the work. 1t
may be so.
Most of the statues in the public
spaces of the capital face toward the
south. but a number of statues in adj
dition to that of Sherman look toward
the north. Among those facing
north or northerly are Rawlins, Ko-
ciuszko. Steuben, Paul Jones, Alex
ander Shepherd and Samuel d. Cross,
the physician whose effigy stands in
the grounds of the Smithsonian insti-
tuition,
Among those facing to the south or
southerly are Mcpherson, Scott, Lo-
gan, Lincoln Tin front of the city

He Illustrated the Great Possibilities of Debate

Fin the early days of. Oklahoma poll
tics there was a joint political discus
sion there between Republican and
Populist. Both played checkers with
their past political records, the Repub-
lican having been a 'Greenbacker' and
the Populist Republican. After the
former had finished "a scathing attack
on the vagaries Of Populism the latter
read a 'Greenback' speech made
years before by his antagonist and
rested his case.
"The evidence was conclusive and
the case looked bad for the Republi-
can, when the accused dramatically
demanded:
"'Mr. Populist. did you never make
a political utterance of which you
were ashamed and for which you
would apologize?'

Mystery of Sleep.

Sleep, in which we spend about a
third of our lives, continues to be one
of the mysteries Of biology, despite
the attempts of scientists to find So
luton. DR.. Raphael Dubois, of Mar
settles, after a prolonged series Of ex-
periments on alternating animals, has
come to the conclusion that sleep is
due to sntitoxin or poisoning by GER
tain waste products, which accumu-
late in the brain, and are only got
rid of by sleep. Dr.. Claparede of Ge-
neva thinks that sleep is an instinct
devised for the protection Of the or.
ganism. 1t was DR.. Ramon Cajal
who formulated the neurotic theory.
according to which the neutrones or
pyramidal cells in the gray matter of
the brain sink down and cease to ex-
cite each other during sleep.
But there are objections to these
theories, and all others that have been
advanced. 1t Is a matter Of absolute
knowledge that In sleep there IS a
certain absence of blood in the
brain. Anything that lessons the sup
ply Of blood to the brain is likely to
induce sleep. For this reason, keep
ing the head cool and the feet warm
is recommended as one of the best
means of overcoming sleeplessness.
Absence of light, noise and strong
odors help to produce the loss Of con"
seriousness, which Is the chief charac
teristic of true sleep.

She was a grand lorgnette operator.
That was one of her prime acquisi-
tions. She had practiced lorgnetting
in much the same fashion that fever
ish golfers practice driving with pro-

spear a social inferior with a glance

After several seasons, in which she

SAUCE FOR GANDER
lnduIgent Husband Who Could
Not Resist a Practical Joke
Taught a Lesson.
BY MRS. D. E. COOPER.

Bobson was a good citizen an In
'dulgent husband, boon companion;
but he positively could not resist g
practical joke.
His wife was indignant when he, on
their wedding day, notified her by
phone that he had broken les and
could not come to be married; and
when, as she was about to tearfully
dismiss the guests, he appeared, joun'
ty. unconcerned and whole, he never
knew-she was a woman of spirit
how near she came to dismissing him
Then there was the time that he
pretended that his hister Dora and
her husband had been killed in a
railroad accident and that he and his
wife would have to rear the six chill
dren.
'Brutally coarse" she called it.
Mrs. Bobson never laughed at her
husbands jokes = not considering
them funny-and on one particularly
gloomy day in early spring, after a
shock that aggravated her almost past
endurance, she decided that he had
reached the limit.
ITO Whom 1t May Concern: Par
ties are hereby notified that am not
responsible for debts contracted by
my wife.

With eyes flashing danger she dash
ed the little local paper on the dining
table where Robert had, with unusual
good humor, left it.

exclaimed with compressed lips that
deepened her dimples. "This! Well,
it is his last.
''I'll teach him a lesson he won't
soon forget" she conf1ded to the hall
mirror as she viciously thrust hat
pin through hat and auburn tresses.
Shortly after noon Bobson appeared
at his sister Dora's home. Dora was
serving dinner for the hungry chill
dren.

me to come home to dinner" he ex-

Congress of the International Suffrage
Alliance now in session at Budapest.
Miss Adams was the principal
speaker there on June 16.
Delegates from every voting state
In the Union had been chosen to
speak before the congress-, but as
Illinois is so newly born to the right
of the ballot, no provision for an off,

One Of the most interesting of the

Some of them might have been wor-

anything either In the heavens above

birds on those hats would have de-
lighted the Audubon and Humane So

that line of hat craft, although 1t

believe, characterizes summertime

as to the thigh cost" Of the various
creations. The dainty Jackets, loosely
worn, resembled in the upper story the
lines of fancy pajama, while the
lower story was reefed to preserve the
nautical trend of the fashions.
The one thing that really impressed
the masculine mind was the simple
ity in that stylish gathering. 1t may
be that "votes for women" has had
it's influence on styles-at any rate |

hats will be tilted to the starboard, or
