He Wanted to SIeep.

Policemen on duty along the East side in New York become accustomed to about everything and register amazement only after long considera- ton of the thousands of odd things about them when they find something new or inexplainable. One morning the cop on the Second avenue beat found one. It was tattered and mangey fur coat which hung over a street light, making the sidewalk dark at that particular spot. As he climbed up to remove it voice from the house
 it was an irritable and sleepy voice halted him. "Get away" roared the sleepy one "All night I don't get a chance to sleep on account of that light. Don't touch it; I put it out there on purpose" After which the coat was neatly rolled and slammed back where it originally came from.

The streets were empty. The one cafe that remained open was tenanted only by French soldiers singing a rousing Gal lie chorus; and in the single restaurant the only guests besides myself were the Italian officers. At night there is never light in the city.

"Yes sir, it's an actual fact, I have gained twenty-five pounds on Tanlac," said Capt. Jeff D. Riggs. popular Y. & M. Y. engineer running between Vicks- burg and New Orleans and residing at 2020 Pearl street, Vicksburg, Miss. Captain Riggs is a large property own- CT and is well known in railroad cir cles.
 "When l began taking the medicine" he continued, T was simply nervous and physical wreck and had dropped down in weight from one hundred and forty to one hundred and ten pounds. My system was poisoned with malaria my skin was yellow and I felt drowsy and sluggish all the time. I was so nervous I couldn't sleep and had be- come so feeble from loss of strength could hardly crawl up on my en- zine. l hadn't been able to get any kind of medicine to help me and my condition was growing more critical all the time. I was very much worried about myself and I feel sure I would have been forced to stop off from my run in a short time if it hadn't been for Tanlac.
 T have just finished my second bot tie of Tanlac and have gained twen- ty-five pounds and feel like a new man. I now feel about as strong and active as did when I first got my run. and l can handle my old engine with as much ease as ever could. My stom- ach is now in good shape. my appetite is fine and 1 can eat everything I want and as much as I wish and everything agrees with me perfectly. I'm re- heved of the malaria, my skin is clear ing up and I don't feel sluggish and drowsy like I did. I'm not nervous anymore, sleep well every night and feel fresh and fine every day"
