A SOUTHERN GIRL.
Her boots are slim and neat—
She is vain about her feet.
It is said.
She amputates her r's,
But her eyes are liko tho stars
Overhoad.
’Tie a matter of rearret.
She’s a bit of a coquette.
Whom I sinsr;
On her cruel path she boos
With half-a-dosen beaux
To her string.
The singing of sweet Phyllis
Like the silver laughing rill is,
And her breath is like the lily's,
In the dawn.
As graceful as tho dipping
Summer swallow, or the skipping
Of a lambkin, is her tripping
O’er the lawn.
Beyond % poet's fancies.
Though the muse had kissed her glahees.
Is her dimple when it dances
In a smile. /
Oh, the havoc it is making-/
Days of sorrow, nights of Waking—
Half a score of hearts artf’aehing
All the while.

The Great Mystery of Sleep.
Answers.
Sleep is one of the many scientific
mysteries that still await solution.
What it is exactly nobody knows. But
many curious facts have recently been
discovered about it.
For instance, when we sleep the low
er half of us weighs more than the up
per half. The brain is lighter and the
'egs are heavier. Experiments have
shown that if a man goes to sleep on a
bed suspended exactly at the middle
point of his weight his head begins to
tip slowly up and his feet to go down.
When he wakes it is to find that his
head ig getting nearer the floor and his
feet near the ceiling. _
This is due to the fact that when we
are asleep the blood in the brain goes
off to other parts of the body. The mo
ment the brain wakes to life again it
draws the blood back. In fact, a doctor
can bring the most restless of individ
uals sleep in a few seconds by tightly
compressing the great arteries in the
neck which carry blood to the brain.
So, in sleep the brain is lighter and
the feet are heavier. Perhaps that is
why policemen have been known to
sleep on their beats. But then, cases
have been known of long-distance cy
clists sleeping on the saddle, of infan-
descent on his mother’s Bide—it Is said
that he never sleeps more than two
hours at a stretch. When engaged on
some of his great scientific experiments
he and his assistants have been known
to go on for 70 hours without sleep.
That tendency which most of us have
felt at some time or other, when we
are awakened by the presence of some
body in the room—however well we
know that somebody—to pretend that
we are still asleep, is said by scientists
to be a legacy from the days when man
lived the savage life of any other ani
mal and was liable to sudden attack ei
ther from his fellow-man or from wild
beiastB. He preferred to reconnolter his
position in case there was danger near.
To get up suddenly might have been to
betray his presence to Borne prowling
enemy.
It Marriage a Failure?
A clever writer brought out a book a
year or so ago entitled “The Compro
mises of Life." In discussing it, a wo
man said rather cynically, “One thing
is sure. Marriage is a compromise. If
a woman hopes to marry nowadays, she
has got to compromise.”
In looking about at maiden ladies, one
wonders if they are enjoying single
blessedness because they refuse to com
promise. One wonders also if it has
been a compromise with all married
people.
Those who start out with impossible
ideals in regard to marriage will of
course have to compromise. It is not
so much of a compromise as it is throw
ing overboard the foolish notions. Boys
and girls cherish certain fancies in re
gard to marriage, born largely of
dreams. When they mix with the
world and begin to know human na
ture, they soon discover that no such
person as they had pictured for their
soul-mate ever dwelt on earth. They
dismiss them with a laugh. They real
ize that a flesh-and-blood creature with
some of the faults of humanity would
really be more companionable.
But when one has certain ideals of
marriage which contact with the world
trymen sleeping on the march, of wea- not on 'y shows are Possible to realize

ried pianists dozing as they Btruck the
keys. In fact, almost any part of the
brain may be awake, several parts, in
deed, at once, and yet its owner may be
fast asleep. A man may talk, walk,
type, solve mathematical problems, and
yet be safely in the land of Nod. One
of Coleridge’s finest poems— “Khubla
Khan”—was the work of a sleeping
brain. The" famous “Devil’s Sonata”
came as a pleasant surprise to its com
poser, Tartini. He found it on the ta
ble when he got up one morning. He
had written it in the night.
In fact, exactly what part of the
brain it is that does sleep it is hard to
decide. Our sense of time, for instance,
is stronger when we are asleep than
when we are awake. Experiments con
ducted some years ago on a number of
men and women between the ages of 20
and 30 showed that 59 per cent, of them
were able to wake up in the morning at
any time they had decided upon the
night before. The resolve seems to
wind up a little clock on the sub-con
scious brain.
When the hour has arrived the clock
gives in Borne mysterious way the alarm
to the day shift of the brain and the
eyelidB open. And then the night shift
goes to sleep in turn. At any rate, that
clock does not seem to work in the day
time. Resolve some morning at the of
fice to pull out your watch when 20 min
utes past 11 comes round.
You won’t, except by chance.
Another curious fact about sleep is
that the farther a part of the body is
away from the brain the less soundly it
sleeps. A touch on the toe will awaken
you much more readily than a touch on
the shoulder.
Some scientists hold that we do not
really need sleep at all, that it is a relic
of primeval times when there was no
such thing as artificial light. Some way
had to be found of passing the blank
time of night and so some one invented
sleep.
Of Edison, the great American inven
tor—who, by the way, is of Scottish
but also proves how desirable their
realization would be, why Bhould one
compromise on these? One marries
with the hope of being happy. If he
knows these are essential to happiness,
why concede them? Better indeed not
marry than make such a compromise.
It is taking all the beauty and bloom
out of marriage.
The thing to do is to ponder seriously
whether one’s ideals are worth standing
by. Has one fixed his standards for this
important step impossibly high? If
this is the case and one realizes whephe
views the matter practically that he
has been but a visionary dreamer and
that less than his dreams can still make
him happy, then he will be wise to re
linquish Borne of his demands. But, if
after viewing the matter sensibly, he
sees that his ideals are still worth
while, then there should be no compro
mise.
With most marriages this is probably
what has happened. The impossible
has been thrown overboard, the true
has been clung to, and on this founda
tion has been built the happiness of
the marriage.
The People or the Court.
Columbus Enquiror>Sun.
An unusually interesting political sit
uation is presented in Georgia by the
decision of the Supreme Court of the
State in the McLendon case. It is that
a Governor has been reversed by the
qualified voters of the State in an elec
tion and sustained by the Supreme
Court of the State In an opinion from
the bench, the issues involved in both
cases being practically the same.
Gov. Smith, acting under the author
ity conferred upon him by law, dis
missed Chairman Jos. M. Brown from
hlB office as Railroad Commissioner.
This occurred during the fall of 1907, a
short time before Mr. Brown’t term of
office expired. In the election of 1908
Mr. Brown went before the people as
a candidate for Governor against Gov.
Smith, who was running for an indorse
ment of his administration, and the
people refused to indorse. In a word,
they vindicated Chairman Brown, and
placed the seal of their disapproval
upon the action of Gov. Smith in dis
missing him from office.
In 1909 Gov. Smith dismissed Chair
man McLendon from the office of Rail
road Commissioner, by authority of the
same law under which he had dismissed
Chairman Brown. In the latter case
Mr. McLendon took the matter to tho
State courts, and finally to tho court of
Inst resort, with the result that the
latter has sustained Gov. Smith.
In the first instance the people re
versed Gov. Smith, and in the latter
the Supreme Court sustained him, mak
ing a very interesting political situa
tion in the State.
In a case of this kind, one in which
the court passes only upon tho legal
status of tho question, it is safe to as
sume that the verdict of the people
more nearly conforms to tho principles
of justice and equity than does that of
the court. ■_
One Conductor Who Was Cured.
Mr. Wilford Adams is his name, and
he writes about it: “Some time ago I
was confined to my bed with chronic
rheumatism. I used two bottles of Fo
ley’s Kidney Remedy with.good effect,
and the third bottle put me on my feet
and I resumed work as conductor on the
Lexington (Ky.) Street Railway. It
gave me more relief than any medicine
I had ever used, and it will do all you
claim in cases of rheumatism.” Foley’s
Kidney Remedy cureB rheumatism by
eliminating the uric acid from the
blood. For sale by all druggists.
“See here," said the irate customer
as he entered the clothing store, "you
said this pair of trousers would wear like
iron. I’ve worn them leBS than six
weeks—and now look at them. Do you
call that wearing like iron?”
"Well, why not?” rejoined the pro
prietor. “Aren’t they rusty enough to
suit you?"
Foley’s Kidney Remedy will cure any
case or kidney and bladder trouble not
beyond the reach of medicine. No med
icine can do more. For sale by all drug
gists.
The Sound Sleep of Good Health.
The restorative power of sound sleep
cannot be over-estimated, and -any ail
ment that prevents it iB a menace to
health. J. L. Southern, Eau Claire,
Wis., says: “For a long time I have
been unable to sleep soundly nights, be
cause of pains across my back and sore
ness of my kidneys. My appetite was
very poor and my general condition was
much run down. I have been taking
Foley’s Kidney Pills but a short time
and now sleep ob sound as a rock. I
eat and enjoy my meals, and my gen
eral condition is greatly improved. I
can honestly recommend Foley’s Kidney
Pills, as I know they have cured me.”

Editors as a rule are kind-hearted and
liberal. An exchange tells of a sub
scriber who died andleft fourteen years’
subscription unpaid. The editor appear
ed as the lid of the coffin was being
screwed down and put in a linen duster,
a thermometer, a palm leaf fan and a
receipt for making ice.

Yet, He Wat Kicked.
Detroit Freo Prcan.
A circus visited Newcastle, and tho
town tough turned out the afternoon of
its arrival to see what sort of circus it
whs.
A canvasman making his usual round,
shouting, "Off the guy-ropes, there!
off the guy-ropes,” came suddenly on
the town tough, who was leaning
ngainst the canvas tent smoking a corn ’
cob pipe.
“Ye wuzn’t talkin’ to mo, wuz ye,
stranger?” said the tough, hunching up
his shoulders very wickedly.
“Oh, no, sir, ” said the canvasman,
frightened by tho tough’s size. “I only
wanted to warn you, sir, that it’s a lit
tle dangerous to lean againBt the tent
that way, as the elephant might kick
you, sir.”
The tough snorted with contempt.
“Drat your elephant!” he growled.
“I’ll clean out tho hull show, elephant
an’ all, if you give me any of your lip. ”
The canvasman slunk off humbly, and
a few minutes later went inside and told
the boss. The boas, who weighed over
two hundred and Btood 6 feet 6 in his
socks, chuckled and took up one of the
enormous mallets used to drive in tent
pegs.
'Show me where he's leaning," was
all he said.
The canvasman led the boss to the
place where the tough’s form made a
long, oval dent In the tent. The boss,
chuckling again, fixed his eye on that
spot where the dent was deepest, and
swinging the mallet twice around his
head he struck with all hiB might.
There was a dull thud, a cry of pain
and fear, and the tough leaped ten feet,
then made off down tho road as fast as
he could run.
“What’s the matter, Peleg?” queried
the Inhabitants as he tore through
town.
Been kicked by a elefant," he re
plied.

The Heart Bowed Down.
Loutavillo Times.
“See that little woman who just went
out?” remarked a Fourth avenue mil
liner to a customer. “Notice that red
hat, did you? Well, as a milliner and a
person whose business it is to study the
different characteristics of women, I
have watched her for two years. It
has been a kind of study of tho ‘evolu
tion of the widow.’
“Two years ago she came to me, re
cently bereaved, and had me make her
a hat of deepest black. She was bro
ken-hearted, and declared she would
never again take an interest In the
pretty things that women like to wear.
A year ago she came again.
“ ‘Don't you think I might have the
least bit of white in my spring hat?’
she asked.
“ ‘Yes,’ I said, ‘I think you might,’
and the hat was made. Three months
later she came for another hat, and she
stood for a little touch of lavender.
Next she had a big white plume, and
last week I made her that red hat. It
just shows what time will do in lifting
up a heart bowed down.”

It was married men’s night at the re*
vival meeting. “Let all you husbands
who have troubles on your minds stand
up!” Bhouted the emotional preacher at
the height of his spasm.
Instantly every man in the church ex- ,
cept one rose to his feet.
"Ah!” exclaimed the preacher, peer
ing out at this lone sitter, who occupied
a chair near the door and apart from
tho others. “You are one in a million.”
“It ain’t that," piped back this one
helplessly, as the rest of the congrega
tion turned to gaze suspiciously at him.
“I can't get up; I'm paralyzed.”
