Why Me Walk In Our sIeep.

Roughly speaking, the mind is di- vided into two parts. One controls the actions of which we ara conscious and the other those which we do uncOn- sciously. In the latter class are such things as walking and breathing. So that the second part of the mind works equally as we'll whether its owner is asleep or awake. When the body or the other part of the mind is tired to the point of exhaustion or is harried by pain the second part Is liable to be unduly actiYe. Then it is that we are most likely to walk or talk in our sleep and have nightmares" And be- cause the acutely conscious part of the mind Is dormant and not subject to fears the sleep walker frequently traY- erses dangerous places unhurt-Den- yer News.

Steadily the roads that lead to suc- cess in literature are being made cas- fer, A good many people who would like to write fiction, but have shrunk from the labor of finding equivalents for "said," will welcome list of sub stitutes for the necessary little word published in the Boston Writer. There are no less than 3s8 fairly satisfactory variations, from "acceded" to "yowled." The prisoner at the bar no longer need say that he Is innoceAt. He can babble 1t or bawl 1t or blurt 1t or breathe 1t, to use but one letter of the alphabet. The vindictive district at torney can bark his questions, the law yer for the defense can boom his ob- jections, the spectatGS may either bris- tie their indignant protest or blubber their sympathy. But the merit of such a list is not simply that 1t facilitates the management of dialogue. A thorough study of the 8S5 substitutes for "said" will easily suggest the plot and the characterization that must precede d1a- logue.

It was the night of Lincoln's first election, and the little frame home of the Lincolns in Springfield, H., was filled with friends and relatives, all eager for some news of the election results. The reports for awhile had been coming in early and favorable, but after awhile they began to be less promising. Mrs. Lincoln had been by her husbands side all day. He now insisted that she retire. The crowd gradually began to dwindle. Then came the news that New York had been carried, followed immediately by the report that Lincoln had carried the country. The, rest of the story would be better told by the great man himself.

Wonderful Carving.

Dr. Peter Oliver, who lived in Eng land during the early part of the eight eenth century, tells of seeing a carved cherry stone which would be a wonder even in this age of fine tools and fine workmanship. The stone was one from a common cherry, and upon It were carved the heads of 124 popes, kings, queens, emperors, saints, etc. Small as they must necessarily have been, 1t is announced on the authority of Professor Oliver that with a good glass the heads of the popes and kings could readily be distinguished from those of the queens and saints by their miters and crowns. The gentleman who brought this little wonder to Eng land purchased it in Prussia, allowing the original owner f5,000 for his treas ure. Think of it-S25,00O for cherry seed

Drift From Country to City.

Some further statistics as to the drift of population in this country from the country to the city were presented in a recent census bureau report. Fig ures show that this drift has now cOV- cred a period of century and a quar- ter, or from 179O to the present time, 1790 being the year in which the first census of population was taken. Since that time the drift has been practically uninterrupted. In 1790 cities were ex- tremely rare in this country. Only one had q population of more than 30,0OO. This was New York city, which had at that time 33,131 inhabitants. Next came Philadelphia with 2S,500, and then Boston with 1S,320. In the en- tire country there were only 3,929, PA people.-Literary Digest.

Two men stood silent where the fields
flowed red
Beneath the unhalted dawn's impartia

The one looked down, the other higf
ahead;
The one saw blood-the other, sacri
flee.
The one cried Lord. let us have peace
this day;
Stop now this slaugnter,-grant Us
rest and life"
The other prayed for strength to hev
his way
Till Freedoms voice had stilled al
further strife.
The one wept, "If Thou didst ordair
that fire
Should scar us to the marrow-mercS
Lord"
The other sang. Come, pain, thou shall
inspire
Who takes the sword shall perish by
the sword"
The one sneered Thou false nation
thine the sin;
Democracy. indeed for that you
fight?"
The others tone rang clear above the
din
OF hate, Christ is thy strength. and
Christ thy right"

Cried out in pain and fear for quick
release.
The other smiled, content; "My work is

THE MARINE MONUMENT

1t was France that gave us our great
Statute OF Liberty, which lights New
York harbor and stands in the eyes of
all the world as the symbol of America.
Now 1t is proposed that America shall
give France a corresponding gift-a
statute commemorating the great VIC
tory OF the Mare, by which France
preserved liberty for modern civiliva-
ton.
The plan was broached a year or
more ago. but was held in abeyance
for a time after we entered the war.
II has now been revived and is assured
of fulfillment. The commission has
been given to Frederick w. MacMon-
MES, and he has worked out IA design
which is approved by the committee in
charge and is said to be acceptable to
France.
1t represents "the spirit of France in
the form of a winged figure, nearly
spent by the storm of battle, and al
most beaten down by the weight OF at
tack, throwing off defeat by a supreme
effort and raising the fallen flag Of lib
erty." 1t is to be called "The Soul Of
France"
Stdlult VIII Dt VI oiSc
and will be paid for by popular sub
scription. Remembering that the
Statute of Liberty was bought by the
French people, largely with the pen
MES of French children, Americans
should find supreme pleasure In con-
tributing to such a gift. Nothing will
be done about raising the money until
after the war In order not to conflict
with our present war philanthropies.
When the books are open, the subscrip-
ton amount might well be limited to
one dollar or less, in order that all
Americans who want to give will have
a chance.
The only difficulty about this en-
terprise is the danger of raising too
much money. Rare indeed will be the
American man. woman or child who is
not eager to add his mite in honor of
the nation to which we owe most and
which we most admire.

MERCANTILE EFFICIENCY

American merchants are making GOOD
progress In saving man-power. the

reported the results of several months
effort to eliminate unnecessary work
and thus get along with fewer en-
ployees It's recommendations have
been adopted in 169 cities and towns
with population of more than 26,OOO,-
900 people
In 26 cities with a population of g.
226 900 the merchants have reduced
their deliveries to one day per route;
in five cities with population of l.
593 900 they have reduced deliveries to
two day in the central section and
one a day in the suburbs; in % cities
with a population of 3,S70,0O0 they have
reduced them all to two a day, and in
23 cities with a population or 5,oSS'ooo'
they have greatly reduced the labor ana
cost of distribution by making charges
for deliveries. In many cities, too the
time limit for the return of goods mas

smaller cities. When the department
stores of big cities get together on a
workable plan, there will be big saw
ing in this way.
In ordinary times such efforts would
meet with resistance, because ordinary
there is a surplus of man-power and
woman.power wanting work. NOW
with a situation precisely the opposite,
every means of economizing human en-
ergy and time is hailed with satlsfac-
ton. The displaced employees easily
find Jobs as good, or better. The mer-
chants save expenses through added
efficiency And-in theory, at least
they pass on the saving to their custo-
mers in lower prices than they would
otherwise be obliged to charge. That
compensates the public for its loss OF
the old special conveniences.

EX-PRESIDENTS

Our ex.presidents are no longer a
national problem. In the old days,
there was no career open to a man who
had occupied the highest office except
that of a sage" Anything but digni-
fled and impecunious retirement. brok-
en- at long intervals by an oracular
message to the nation, was considered
improper. In the olden days it worked
pretty well. The ex-presidents and the
public were both satisfied. But in
more recent times "sage-ing" as pro
fession has fallen ipto comparative dis
repute. Any man with enough ability
to hold down the presidents job Is like
ly to have considerable capacity for
productive work after he leaves the
White House. a man full of energy, in
these days, doesn't relish the notion
that he's a "has-been," and doesn't like
the idea of settling down to writing
memoirs and fishing and addressing
solemn delegations of neighbors, when
he might be engaged in big, construc-
tive work and earning a comfortable or
even luxurious living.
Our contemporary expresidents both
represent a conspicuous variation from
the old school. Col. Roosevelt has
hunted big game. explored. stayed in
politics. written books and magazine ar
ticles and kept steadily in the public
eye. And finally he has become regu-
lar newspaper writer. contributing reg
ularly to the Kansas City Star. Mr..

mic duties or a routine of philoso-
