journey. Holman quotes Erasmus in
story OF his friend Professor oporinus,
with a distinguished bookseller. and Just
before they reached the Inn where they
we're to spend the night an old manu-
script in Sanskrit was found that so
greatly interested the bookseller that he
persuaded oporinus to sit up and read
II to him. The result was that the pro
lessor fell asleep as TO all other powers
but kept on reading for long time, not
knowing when he awoke anything about
what he had been doing.
He had to all intents and purposes
been talking In his sleep. Dogs bark and

The State Board of Health of Texas has been making inquiries into the ef- fects Gf coffee upon school children. 'Children who drink coffee for break fast says one report, "come to school sxhasa1assd, they work strenuousty Tn the morning, and are overffowing with energy and vitality, BUT THEY DO NOT LAST under the school routine; they become fatigued more quickly than the other pupils, and by the close i of school in the afternoon they are exhausted to the point of stupidity. They. are nervous and therefore un- stable in their department"
 It has also been found by other in vesdgatorS that ''childrcn who drank coffee averaged from one and one-halt to more than four pounds less Tn weight, and from one-half inch to more than one inch less in height than the children who abstained from coffee They were also found to have an aver age of three pounds less in hand strength than the children who. never drank coffee"

CHICKEN THIEF
 BEFORE CITY COURT.
Byron Spencer Said He Was Trying to
 Provide for the Table.

Byron Spencer of Ashaway, R. l., was fined $10 and costs by Judge John H. Barnes in the city court on Mon day morning for stealing four chickens Preston. Spencer went to jail to work out his bill of $1S.75. Spencer told the court that he has been lodging at the house kept by Mrs. Ida King on Franklin square. He was drunk on Sunday. and when he heard her say that she would like some chicken he started out to get her some. He went to the Jencks- farm in Preston, where he had been at work. placed the chick ems in bag and started back for the city. The bag looked suspicious to Policeman Maloney and he overhauIed Spencer and investigated. The investi-
 gation resulted in Spencer and the live
 chickens spending the night at the po-
 lice station.
 MT. JenclSs said he had lost four
 other chickens, and when the police visited the King house they found l three which MT Jencks said looked like his property. Mrs. King said her husband bought them, but MT. King could not be found by Policeman ] Smith. Spencer has driven jitneys in Westerly and claims to have passed winters in Florida. where he has been employed in hotels Two Webster men were fined $1 and costs for drunkenness. They paid. They are employed as spinners in the

 work out a fine of $1 and costs for in- toxtcation. James Caruthers, homeless
 and 62 years of age. went to the jail so work out a fine and costs.
