CAUSE OF SLEEP UNKNOWN
Various Explanations, but None Of
Of Them May Be Set Down as
Absolutely True.

Curious and remarkable are the rea.
sons assigned for the desire to sleep.
1t is attributed by some scientists to
an accumulation in the system of the
poisonous products of the wear and
tear of the body during the day. Sleep
is the period when the nerve cells of
the brain dwell apart from each other,
as 1t were. The brain is composed of
millions of tiny bodies, called cells.
each having several delicate branches,
for the purpose of communicating with
other cells.
When the brain ] fully active, all
these cells are in contact, or ready
to be in contact. with one another,
but the time occasionally comes, it is
thought, when the branches of all the
cells curl up, and their isolation means
that complete communication be-
tween the cells ceases. The state of
body and mind that follows is what
we call sleep. The most probable ex.
PLANTATION of sleep, however, is that

dition of the cells is changed partly

The Horse Thief's
Girl
By DONALD CHAMBERLIN

The human heart beats much the
same among the good and the evil.
This is story of girl, rough, I'M
cOuth, but an outlaw among outlaws,
who made q sacrifice which, though
in bad cause, should entitle her to
the name Of heroine.
When the state Of Colorado was d
wild country. filed with wild people,
man there was who, starting under
the title of road agent. degenerated to
the condition Of common horse thief
Human laws may be inherited, but
they do not originate by accident. In
a new country horse or a mule is
an absolute essential. Consequently
one who steals horse is given the
greatest Of all punishments. While a
man may deliberately shoot down an
other In the street or over card Ia.
BILE and not be called to an account,
the man who steals a horse is strung
up to tree by the neck.
Ryan was the only name known for
this person who had slid down so far
in the scale of crime. He had become
such thorn In the side of the settlers
of the region he worked that they de.
cided to drop everything else to run
him down. 1t was a long chase, but
at last they got him in a gulch the
sides of which were unscalable. The
mouth of the gulch was guarded by
the committee. If there was any
egress they did not know it. There
was an outlet for a good climber near
the upper end of the gulch, but in or
der to escape by that route the fugi-
tive would have to expose his body to
the fire of any one In the center Of the
gulch.
While the settlers were laying their
plans for the capture they were ap-
preached by the girl who has been
mentioned above.

playthings he loved smote her to the
heart. Finally she got them all In.
But it was not like disagreeable work
done and relegated to the past; 1t was
the beginning of horror that would
never end.
At 4 o'clock a carriage drove up to
the door. She heard its wheels on the
pavement and, going to the window,

That was their last violent quarrel.

scene Of their former intended parting.
Meanwhile marital association as well
as the children was drawing them

as Mrs. Clemson reached the kitchen door,
the tornado struck the house and lifted it

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
THE DEAD BIRD.

One day, says an old, old legend,
the dear Child Jesus was playing with
other little boys of about His own
age when some of them happened to
find poor little dead bird lying in
the field. While seeking for food for
it's young it had been killed by a
stone flung by some cruel hand and
had fallen to the ground in the very
midst of a joyful song, it's happy life
crushed out of it through the heart
less cruelty of a child! In vain it's
little ones now awaited it, crying for
food; in vain it's little mate called
for it to come and help her in a task
too heavy for her alone. Cold and
lifeless it now lay on the fowery
grass, its bright eyes closed and it's
pretty head hanging limp and blood
stained.
But the little Jewish boys felt no
pity for it. On the contrary one of
them seized it by the end of it's wing
and tossed it up into the air, crying:
why don't you fly, you lazy fellow,
you? Why don't you fy?" Then,
as it fell back upon the hard ground,
another kicked it roughly, also cry
ing in hooking voice: Here! why
don't you sing, you silly?"
But the Child Jesus sprang forward,
and, STOPPING down, picked up the
poor dead bird with a look of infinite
pity on His sweet face and tears in

age, pressed it to His breast, and held
it in His two little hands as if to
warm it. Then pressing His lips upon
its dropping head, He murmured:
Poor little birdie! fly to thy loved
ones and be happy once MORE And
with a wild chirp of joy the little
bird few out of the Christ hild's
hands, and with swift, strong wings
scared back to its nest in great
tree near by, where it sang an ex.
ultant song of thanksgiving.

beautiful one. But, boys, remember

it may be, will not be forgotten By

JOLLY TREE.

If you never have planted a Jolly Tree
Don't wait for an Arbor Day,
But take a bit of advice from me,
And do it without delay.
1t starts from a little, smiley seed,
And quick as fash twill sprout,
And when you have tasted the fruit
indeed,
You will never be without.
AS soon as the smiley seed is in
At once it begins to grow;
And the dear little giggle-buds begin
Their gay little heads to show,
And truly amazing it is to see,
How in less than a wink and y hall
A giggle-bud can grow to be
The jolliest kind of a laugh.

new Bruchard was back in camp.
Many of the stories one hears show
how the soldiers drift back to former
worship. In some of the trenches
| they made rosaries of strings and hits
of wood. There have been fierce dis.
cussions, too, as to the conventions.
One reached a chaplain through a
bearded soldier who asked:
Monsieur rAumonier, sometimes
when in the trench l say my rosary
and at the same time I smoke my
pipe. 1t is not very proper to do so,
is it?
The chaplain told him to- go ahead
with both rosary and pipe.
Pray Before Fighting.
Some of the soldiers when they
come to church show an impartiality
before the holy images that has
caused nationwide smile among
the clergy. The soldiers will buy a
packet of candles and carefully light
one at each altar and before every
saint.
There is confession in the trenches,
in the second line and in ruined
villages, in camp, courtyard, and
street. There is absolution by the
fighting priests under fire: One OF
them says:
AT one place, we were in the rear
guard before a bridge that they were
about to blow up. We were in great
danger. Nearly all my comrades, the
adjutant at their head, proposed to
confess. Two only wished to wait
