Our sleen.

AS a race we sleep too little. An In
fants life is nearly all sleep Gradual
ly as the child grows older the hours OF
sleep are shortened. Youth till the age
of twenty IS reached requires fully ten
hours sleep Although nature demands
fewer hours sleep in summer than in
winter, it has been proved that eight
hours of sleep are required for the av-
erage adult in good health. BY this is
meant not simply eight hours in bed,
but that amount of good, sound, restful
sleep night after night Our power to
work IS intimately related to our abil-
ity to sleep and there is no more reli-
able indication Of sound health than
the capacity to sleep naturally, and the
more active and energetic the waking
life the deeper the sleep

A lesson to landlords is this. A wo-
man did it. She wanted the house pa
pered The landlord talked about the
paper shortage and took his rent and
went.
The next month when he called he
found the house beautifully papered.
He was pleased and said so. The wo-
man smiled She walked to the wall
and moved a picture aside. Beneath
the picture was grimy square of the
old paper. The woman had papered

Strike Follows Lockout.

The executive committee of the
Cleveland Building Trades council de-
cided not to call a strike of 10000 work
ers engaged in building trades unless
the employers lock out others than the
4,5O0 members of the Hodcarriers'
union, recently locked out. The COM
mittee decided, however, to order a
sympathetic strike of 5000 workmen
engaged on construction work where
the laborers have been locked out.

Pirates and Steamships.

1t was the advent of the steamship
that finally gave the pirates their death
blow in Malaga. Every schoolboy
ought to know the story of the first
steamer off Borneo Some pirate ships
saw steamer in the distance and, OBJ
serving the smoke from its tunnels,
thought the ship was on fire and there
fore helpless They gave chase, but
they were amazed to see the strange
sea beast come up steadily against the
wind and vomit fire from it's guns. 1t
was generally agreed in polite pirate
circles that the white man had played
a mean trick upon a successful and
honorable body Of traders.

SEE M'MULLEN in RACE
Comptroller To Fight For Nomi-
nation for Governor.

| Democrats who take an active and
practical interest in party affairs are
asking constantly why State Comp
trolIer Hugh A. McMullen has an
nounced that he will not be a candidate
for reelection. And no one gives a
satisfactory answer. Mr.. McMuIlen
was in the city last week, but made no
statement supplemental to his announce.
ment that he would not run again.
From Cumberland, where Mr.. Nc
Mullen lives, there come reports that
/ the Comptroller does not believe that
! his declination to run tor re election
means his elimination from State poll
tics. On the contrary, 1t is asserted
that, out of office, he would be in bet
ter position to make fight for the
next Gubernatorial nomination than if
he served a second term.
There is no doubt among those who
know Mr.. McMullen we'll that he has
had an eye on the Governurshjp. He
has such large business interests-ln-
terests that have demanded so much of
his time-that when two years ago he
announced himself candidate for the
Comptrollership with $2500 a year and
little glory it was conceded that he had
something bigger in view. The report
then generally accepted was that he
would be reelected for a new two-year
term and then, having made a good
record as Comptroller would go after
the Governorship actively.
Since becoming Comptroller Mr.. Nc
Mullen has demonstrated that he has
ideas of his own as to how that office
should be conducted, though the changes
he has made thus far have been conser-
vative and have attracted little public
notice. His most conspicuous activity
has been in securing or in endeavoring
to secure more detailed information as
to how the States money is expended.
He has been writing to the heads of
State departments asking for informa-
ton. and in his report of last year he
had more facts than had heretofore
been given, though the report, like Its
predecessors, was still lacking in COM
parison with reports of similar depart
ments IN some other States.
Now Mr.. McMulIen is devising an
entirely new system of keeping the ac-
counts of his office with the view of
having the public better informed as to
where the taxes are going In fact, he
has said that he would make some
changes in his Office before the end of
his term.
Friends of MIR. McMullen say that
his report for the year ending Septem-
Der 80 next will mark a new era in the
conduct of that Office. 1t is to show q
new system of accounting one that
will be more ineligible to the public.
After this report is submitted, it is
stated, Mr.. McMulen will wait to see
whether the public appreciates what he
has done. If he finds that his work is
approved he will be an active candidate
for the Governorship-if the public is
Indifferent he will remain in private
life.
