It is quite easy to woo "tired nature's sweet restorer, balmy sleep," according to Dr. McComb, who tells us how, in an article in Harper's Hazar.

If this doesn't work, then wo are to try the following, after composing ourselves and forgetting all about insomnia and fugitive dreams: 'There is no reason why I should not sleep. Therefore, 1 can sleep. Therefore, I will sleep. My mind is at peace. Sleep is coining. I am getting sleepy. 1 am about to sleep. I am asleep."

Angered, It Is believed, because two of bis friends bad recently been shot by police officers in Monroe, La., William S. Wade, a negro, a few days ago, ran amuck on the principal business street of Monroe, with a double-barrel shotgun, shooting first at every white man he saw and then firing indiscriminately at every object before him. The lire was returned and the negro finally fell dead with a bullet through his heart, but not before 2 9 men, three of them | members of his own race, had been wounded. Seriously wounded: Hugh Bigger, police officer, shot inabdomen and thigh; may die. T. II. Grant, deputy sheriff, shot In neck and breast; may die. Simon Marks, merchant, Tuskcgoe, Ala., shot in breast and face; may die. George McCormack, manager Ouachita Lumber Company, West Monroe, arm shattered. Slightly wounded: Dr. A. A.

Wade's body was publicly burned, after it had been cut down from a pole, on which it hung for an hour or more after he was killed. An investigation by the polico showed that when Wade purchased the shotgun and a box of shells, a few minutes before he opened flre 011 the flrst man. that there was nothing unusual in his manner or behavior. Other negroes who wore with him in the morning say that he had not been drinking nor did he show any evidence of having taken cocaine. At the store where Wade bought the box of shells the clerk says that the negro asked for buckshot. He gave him bird shot by mistake. This mistake probably saved the lives of a score or more of men. The negro, after purchasing the gun, took a position in the nrcade , of the Bank of Monroe, at Grant and Desiard streets, the most prominent corner in the city. His first shot was directed at J. J. Jordan, cashier of the bank, who was approaching the building. He missed ordan, but the load struck George McCormick, who was close enough to the negro to have his arm badly shattered, in spite of the small shot. The first shot brought many merchants and clerks out on the street and the negro then began to fire in their direction. As fast as he discharged his gun, he would step back Into the arcade, reload, reappear and renew his fire. Patrolman Rigger, who had been attracted by the shooting, ran toward Wade and was shot down, but arose and emptied his revolver at the negro. The negro continued to fire into the crowd, wounding many i of them, when Mayor Forsythe, ! Manager Edward Stannard, of the local Western Union office, and Raniel McLeod came up and returned the fire, Wade finally falling as a result of the fatal wound in the i heart. After the body of the negro had boon cut down from the polo on which it was hung, a crowd of mor. and boys proposed that It should ho bur nod. It has already been god to a nearby square and coal oil poured over it when Mayor Forsytho went to the square and demanded that the body be turned over to the authorities. He was courteously waved aside, and the torch was applied. In a few minutes nothing remained but a heap of ashes and bones. Several hours later Tom Wilford, a negro, was shot in a lunch room, near the city market house. It is not definitely know whether or not this shootina formed anv Honnoi the disorders earlier in the day. Nobody knew anything after the shooting, except that "somebdy" had shot a negro. The wound is not regarded as dangerous. MEMORY OF SEMMES I If IS ONK HUKD11KDTH BIRTHDAY TO HE HONORED. (Job. Mirklr Itjob OhBerraac* ( (irrut (JoafwlorMto Naval Commander's (Vutfiiial IUrth<lajr. !

PLKNTY OF ROOZK IN AUGUSTA. Cases of Drunkenness Are Rapidly Increasing. Tho Augusta Chronicle says the records at tho police barracks in that city show that for tho first seven months of 1909 the number of arrests for violations of tho four hundred and sixtieth section, tho majority of which are for drunkenness and disorderly conduct, have been almost as many as for the first seven months of 1907, which was the year before prohibition started. The total number of arrests for the first seven months of 1 909 were 1,844 while the total number for the same period in 1907 were 1,882. The total number of arrests for the first seven months of 1908, which was the first year of prohibition, were 1,604. The number of arrests shows an increase of each month from tho first of January, 1908, until the end of the year. The record for July, 1908, until tho end of the year was 3 29 arrests while for the same month last season it was 273, which shows a large increase. The figures in regard to the comparative amounts of cases caused by drunkenness before and since prohibition were compiled by Orderly Sergeant G. D. Buchanan, who is always alert and anxious to see the offect of the prohibition law. SHOT THE MAYOR. Quarrel Drought on by His Decision in a Case. J. C.

"If you meet a girl, look into her eyes and docido that you love her toll her ho that minute. "Don't wait for her to say yea or no. Take it for granted that she is yours. "Commence immediately to act as if sho were your property. "AH women like to feel as if they belonged to a man. "A girl will soon commence to take your viewpoint of the affair. "It ought not to take any man more than 3 0 ruin ties to win a wife. "If tho young woman's relatives object just ignore them." Tho views of Ilrig. (Ion. Thomas I S. Hutchinson, of Tennessee, put into practice won for him a bride and the couple are spending their honey| moon in Chicago. They were marI ried there Saturday. The bride, who is the daughter of tho late Col. David W. Cheatham, of Clarksville, Texas, announced the happy event. She is well known in New York, where she was graduated from the Harden School for Young Women a year ago. Gen. Hutchinson, who has been prominently mentioned as a candidate for the (lovernnrshin nf T on ntta. I see, is president of a bix construction firm in Nashville, a member of the civil service commission of that city, chairman of the Democratic executive committee and several other semi-oftlcial bodies. During the Spanish-American war he was colonel of the 2nd Tennessee Volunteers. He is said to be several times a millionaire. "It was this way," said the general, "I attended tho Confederate Reunion in Memphis in June. I was on Governor Patterson's staff, and my wife was maid of honor fruin Texas. The Governor presented me to Miss Louis Cheatham a few minutes after her arrival in Memphis. 1 looked into her eyes and saw that I loved her. I pushed her out of the crowd, told her that I loved her and asked her to be my wife. I didn't wait for her answer. I took it for granted it was Yes ' The whole transaction didn't take more than 30 minutes. \\ hen we rejoined Miss Cheatham's friends I acted as if I owned her. "Every man could win a wife if he followed my example. The man who hesitates in warfare or business is lost. Why should he take months in winning a wife? Thirty minutes is long enough. "After I had decided that Miss Cheatham was to be my wife I went immediately and told her mother. Mrs. Cheatham was greatly surprised, but I soon convinced her that I meant business. She finally said something about the wedding taking place in October. I just ignored such talk. Mrs. Cheatham and Louis returned to Clarksville, Texas. I took the next train. Never let the woman of your choice get out of your sight. Keep right after her all the time." Then Gen. Hutchinson told of his stay in Clurksville. "I haunted the Cheatham home," he said. "I walked around like I owned the place. Mrs. Cheatham was adamant, however, and would not consent to our marriage until October. Finally the mother and Louis left for Chicago. To be sure, I followed, and by taking another line, greeted them on their arrival there. By this time Louis wanted to get married right away, but still her mother held out. Ix>uis told me her guardian, M. L. Sims, was in Denver. I went to that city and ini/lt o/l K I * ^ T ? * ,.ww ...in iu Bft) iiouis and myself married. He accepted. I took tho next trnin for Chicago and told Mrs. Cheatham that Mr. Sims would attend the wedding of her daughter and myself Saturday. She then threw up both hands and quit." "My advice to all young men is that when they want a girl just go and take her. If business principles are applied to love there would be more happy marriages. A good wife is worth more than millions. Any man would race his neck off to secure a million dollars in a few days? why not a wife?" Gen. Hutchinson is 3 2 years old. His bride, who is beautiful cannot be much more than 20. Yonth Drowned. Gerhard I,auterbach, aged 16 years, son of Reinhardt Lauterbach, of Norfolk, was drowned while bathing at Virginia Beach Monday, but a short distance from shore. Another youth far out, feigning danger, attracted all attention from young Lautherbach, who otherwise might have been rescued. i f THE HOUSE FLY ONE OF THE GltHATHST MLHNAC1*4 TO OUtt HEALTH. Home Simple Suggestions u U I TTioj ('?b bo Kednon4 fca Numbers ^ aid Danger. Wo aro In receipt of an Interesting and Instructive leaflet on the dangers of the house flj, Issued by tho Merchants' Association's conimitteo on pullutlon of tho waters of New York, of which committee J. IMerpont Morgan, the great bank er, is a mmenibr. Declaring the flies to be the most dangerous insects we have, the committee "specifies" as follows: They walk ovor filthy places like sewers and garbage eaus, and after eating the glthy food which they find there, they come into your houseand walk on the food you eat, carrying on their feet the tiny germs, which live in filth just as you live in a house. Those germs are not only filthy and disgusting, but many of them cause such diseases as typhoid fever, cholera infantum and summer complaint. When the flies bring them from some dirty place to your food or leave some of them when they crawl on your face or hands, you may swalow these germs without knowing It and be taken ill with one of theso diseases: After emphsizing the importanceof placing screens in doors and windows to keep the flies out of the house, it is pointed out how children may help in the good work as follows: Children may he1 p to keep Hies from swarming in and around houses, and from carrying germs of sickness from one person to another. In the first place .thev *.hnnM buy candy, fruit or other food which 1b loft in front of stores or anywhereelse where Hies may feed and walk on It. Flies lay their eggs chiefly in stable manure, and If this is left without screens or other covers to keep the flies awa>, great numbers wil b?- hatched in every stable. If you know of stores where food is not covered from flies, or of stablesthat have swarms of them around, get your father or mother to write them, and the Hoard will make the storekeepers or stabloe obey its rules. Hut before you report other peoplo for being careless and dirty and so making it possibe for flies * to become a nuisance be sure that your own house ia clean, and that no garbage-cane or boves are left uncovered to nttract flies. The committee's warnings and suggestions are summed up in the following rules to bo observed: "Keep the flies awny from the sick, especially those ill with contagious diseases. Kill every fly that strays into the sick room. His body is covered with disease germs. "Do not allow decaying material of any sort to accumulate on or near your premises. k "All refuse which tends in any way to fermentation, such as bedding. straw, paper waste and vegetable matter should be disposed of or covered with lime or kerosene oil. "Screen all food. >< is -?? i-vi-tf |J ill! receptacles for garbage carefully covered and the cans claned or sprinkled with oil or lime. "Keep all stable manure In vault or pit, screened or sprinkled with lime, oil or other cheap preparation. "Cover food after a meal; burn or bury all table refuse. "Screen all food exposed for sale. "Screen all windows and doors, especially the kitchen and dining room. "Don't forget, If you see flies, their breeding place is in nearby filth. It may be behind the door, under the table or in the cuspidor. "If there is no dirt and filth there will be no flies. "If there is a nuisance in the neighborhood write at once to tk* health department." THE HIGH SCHOOL Should l>e Graded for the Many and Not the Few. Eome mighty good suggestions on the high school is offered by Dr. F. L. Stevens in the Progressive Farmer, of Raleigh, N. C. He very truly % says: The high school is for the pupil. Its course should be so shaped as to do the most good to the largest umber of its pupils. The large majority enter life, not the college, and tho high school, agricultural or not, should fit its pupils for tho lives that they will lead. The duty of flttiner tho ? w ...v 1*5 W , J , Z, or 10 por cent, by Bpecial training for college entrance must fall upon the few who are to enjoy the advanced education, or the colleges must adjust their entrance requirements C to the existing status. The training of ninety boys who arc to go no further than the high school, must not be dwarfed or misshaped because of the ten or less who may perhaps enter college. . You cannot build a frame house unless you have the rocks. ^ .V - '
