SLEEP WAS NOT FOR HER
Little One Got What Consolation She
Could Out Of Foregoing Prom
sed Reward.

The parentally impostd afternoon
nap has long been childhood's bane.
Harry 9. Smith, secretary of the park
board was telling the other day OF
difficulties of afternoon mapping expe-
rienced by his offspring.
A youthful daughter is especially
given to insomnia at the time in the
afternoon when it is insisted that she
shall nap. 1t is no fault of hers. She
strives strenuously to WOO Morpheus,
but TO no avail. The sleep god is CO
quettish and he comes only when he
can steal upon his victims.
The other afternoon the tot was do
ing her best to sleep. Dutifully she
closed her eyes. hreathed rhythmically
and counted sheep jumping over the
fence, as instructed. Sleep would not
come But il would never do to dis
appoint a parent. So when the ques-
ton came, Are you sleeping, daugh-
ter?" she murmured slumberously,
'Uh-huh."
But her message was not convinc-
ing. So she was offered dime as a
reward for sleeping. Time and again
she made the effort, but always it was
fruitless. Then she began to squirm.
Finally she sat up In her bed. Her
manner was eloquent Of conviction of
the futility of further effort, after res
ignation Of claim upon the reward.
"Oh, don't care; l don't want the
dime" she said my bank Is a penny
bank, anyhow. Louisville Times.

A Rull,s-ENe.

E. Berry Wall said at dinner in
New YorH:
"Woman's dress nowadays is beau,
tiful-beautiful but shocking. The
slashed skirt, to lie sure, has disap-
peared-but it has only disappeared
to make room for the lace panel.
"A stupid greenhorn of a butler
scored =. bull's-eye unconsciously the
other day.

asked him.

Serum Cure for Tetanus.

Doctor Doyen, the famous French
surgeon, announces the discovery Of
a serum that will cure tetanus or
lockjaw. The inventor is a physician
in the Ardennes, and the secret of his
success lies in keeping the patient
with head downward at an angle of As
degrees after injecting the serum into
his loins. Doyen says he cures 80
per cent of his, cases.

circulars coming under this
head.
If you are in doubt about the
water question. call up some res
idcnt of Portsmouth or other SUI
burbs of Portland. and asls them.
Ask if they had a sufficient sup
ply'of water and could sprinkle
any time of day and every day.
Ask them how they were bene-
fitted by going into Portland.
hope there are enough in st.
Johns who are interested in her
welfare. and have enough civic
pride not to sell out for a mess
of pottage.
Ii you don't like the council
men. don't vote for them. Put
others in their places. One coun-
Gilman candidate now on the
ticket stated publicly that he
hoped to attend the funeral of
st. Johns. Would Portland be
proud of such a mana man
who would like to see his own
little city dead and buried? Get
in men who will FIGHT for
your city. men who have cour-
age and business ability to stand
up for their city and who will
prove worthy to the end.
DR.. Deveny stated on the
street that taxation without rep
resentation was better than un-
just taxation. Can he make you
swallow that? That is the one
thing that caused the war of the
Revolution. and now that the
women have the right to vote.
can he make you believe that
taxation without representation,
the war cry of the suffragettes.
is better than unjust taxation?
Unjust taxation, if it exists. can
be remedied through representa-
tion; otherwise it is tyranny.
Go to the polls April 5th and
instead of voting for a Greater
Portland, vote for a Greater and
a Better st. Johns, and then
work to better every condition
of our city. Mrs. j. A. Hyde.
St. Johns review. (Saint Johns, Or.) 1904-current, 1915-04-02
No Benefits Whatever

We have had not one of the
mergerites tell us of the BENE-
FITS of going into Portland.
Those who have told their eX-
periences advise against il.
strongly. The promises set forth
by certain hired speakers make
promises on a par with Heaven.
Do you notice the Water Com
pany isn't saying anything.
They are not promising anything
though you are led to believe
their death knell is being tolled.
The water question is merely
whip in the hands of an expert,
and you people of St. Johns who
are clamoring for merger are
only making il an easy fight for
one 0. r. & N. right of way
agent. The fight is not against
the water company. They are
secure for several years. and
they know il.
You who have houses TO rent
must conform with all building
restrictions of Portland, and the
renter will see that you do.
You who have neighborhood
troubles. can generally settle
satisfactorily out of court. The
police are friends and neighbors
and have smoothed over many a
conflict that would have had a
court airing had we had stran-
ger policeman from Portland.
If you build, there are various
permits to take out. licensed
plumbers and electricians TO hire
at union wages. AS we are now,
one can do his own plumbing.

A Few Why's

Promises are easily made some
times but hard to make good. ~
A man once promised that the
o. w. X. a. N.Co. would build a
spur track 10 our city dOck?????
Strange that some of our can
didates and has beens" sudden
ly discover that our government
is Inadequate TO care for our
wants?????
Why did the o. w. K. 4 n.
Company give free and unsoliclt-
ed plans valued at $1,000 to be
used for our present city dock ?

site removed from its established
location to the property Of a
subsidiary corporation OF the
Southern Pacific Co. This in a
certain Southern Oregon town,
IL is said. Why??? Elk
