HOPE. New York Ledger. Hope comes to all and with her cherry I smile Eids us look upward to the faroff hills Where the light lingers yet, and for awhile Lay down the burden of our mortal ills. Hope wipes the sweat from the tired laborer’s brow, Bringing to mind the happy rest of home; Hope cheers the farmer following the plow With the fair vision of increase to come. To fainting traveler in the desert vast Hope shows the gushing fountain and the palm; To the worn sailor on the swaying mast, The green fields and the harbor’s smiling calm. With the late student hope her vigil keeps, Still whispering of honors to be won; Hope fires, the soldier’s heart amid red heaps With pledge of victory ere the day be done. Hope is our Inspiration and our guide. Solace in trouble and support in strife; ’Tis the soul’s anchor in time’s rolling tide, Nurse to the sick and to the dying life. ■ THE INSOMNIA"CLUB. Lafayette Call. I could see the back of her head and her shoulder and one arm, which were bare to the elbow and looked very ■white in the moonlight. She was sit ting in a window and I in the next one, but she was unaware of my presence. Should I speak to her? Our acquaint ance was really very slight. True, we had lived in the same house for nearly a year, but ft was a lodginghouse, and the inhabitants strayed out into the neighborhood for their sustenance, thus lacking the common sorrow of a board inghouse table to draw them together. Miss Caverly and I exchanged greet ings when we met at the door or in the halls, but that hardly justified me in opening a conversation from my win dow to hers at 1 o’clock in the morning. Yet, I wanted to do it. While I was debating the question the lady was leaning far out from her lofty perch—it was the top story—and gazing upon the moon. “Have a care, Miss Caverly.” said I, “or you’ll fall out of the window.” Nothing could have been more likely to precipitate such a catastrophe than my sudden and startling remark, but modern chivalrous men will put a lady Sn any amount of inconvenience for the sake of seeming to perform a service to her. However, in this instance no harm came of it. The lady turned about hastily, but without alarm. “What," she cried, “another victim of insomnia?” Naw, as a matter of fact, I had just come in and had made no attempt to sleep, but I could not tell 'her that. It would have spoiled a conversation. Bo I said that sleep refused to visit my pillow. “Sleeplessness is very distressing,” she said, with the air of one who had suffered much. I suggested that the night was too hot for sleep, but she averred that she did not mind hot weather. 1 might have had a lot of fun trying to find out what demon of the mind was robbing this Innocent child of her slumber, but a knock at my door interrupted me. The visitor was Hallett Graves, anoth. es denizen of the top floor, and he had come to borrow matches. Graves was ■likely to borrow anything at any hour from any person and equally ready to lend. He said that he had given up trying to sleep and was going for a walk with Mr. and Mrs. Gale—also top floor peo ple—who were in the same difficulty. “That accounts for us all,” said I, and then I informed Miss Caverly of the facts and asked if she would try the effect of a midnight stroll with Mrs. Gale for a chaperon. She agreed readily and in a few min utes we were all in the hall, which was hotter than an oven. I expressed the belief that the street wouldn’t be much cooler, and then some one suggested going to the roof. “It's no good, said Graves; “but I’ll tell you what me might do. There’s a fire escape balcony just outside my window, and half a dozen steps lead up from it to the roof of the next house. That’s a fine place 'to sit. What do you say?” x It looked a good deal like burglary, and the ladies were timid, but the hall was too hot to permit of long argu ment, and very soon we fled to our neighbor’s roof. At first we were afraid to speak above a whisper and the creaking of a metal plate on the roof sounded like heavy artillery, but as the minutes passed and nothing happened we grew bolder. We brought some chairs from our rooms and made ourselves exceed- I ingly comfortable. By and by we even ventured to uplift our voices, very soft ly, in an old familiar chorus, a melan choly strain, that seemed to make all of us very blue. When the song was ended Gale, whom I had long suspected of being a hypochrondriac, began to tell us how much he suffered from insomnia and to describe the ineffectual attempts he had made in the last four or five years to bring sleep to his pillow. It appear ed also that Graves, who was a healthy looking young Englishman, had had only a wink or two of sleep since the first of the year. He admitted that he was in love, but doubted if that ac counted for the phenomenon. As’’ for Mrs. Gale, she simply could not sleep at all. She believed that the locality was unhealthful and Intimated that Fifth avenue and its vicinity, especial ly if one owned a residence there, would probably solve the problem of slumber. Now, as a matter of fact, I slept bet ter than the average of my species, but I have a natural disinclination to ap pear inexperienced in matters that are under discussion in a general company, so I told a few fanciful yams that put me within the pale of sympathy, and I was vgry much gratified to observe that they impressed Miss Caverly.

She seemed to be in good health 1 and I could not believe that the child like innocence of her face was a mask | for any weighty secret, much less for ; any deep regret. It was an interesting problem. We sat on that roof until 4 o’clock in the morning. I do not know how the others fared during the remainder of ' the night; but, as for me. I slept like I a dead man and when the servant • waked me as usual at S o’clock I threatened to shoot him. However,, when the Insomnia club, i as Graves had named it. drifted into a ! meeting on the following midnight I ’ was quite ready to take my place. They elected me president of the club and then I had to keep awake if it killed me. Yet I am free to confess that if the tender sentiments with which I was beginning to regard Frances Caverly had been lacking I could never have kept awake during that session. I I A whisper of our doing got abroad in . Ithe house and for the third meeting we had guests—a young man and two young women from the second floor. They expressed a great enthusiasm for 'the club, but they were not on hand for ‘he fourth session. Instead they retired t 8.30. presumably to make up for lost •ep, as I was informed by Mrs. Gale, ho had a woman's faculty for know , g all about everything else in the jouse. ; For the fourth meeting I fortified my ■ ' soul with black coffee at dinner and i strong cigars in the course of the . evening. I had begun to realize that the club would he the ruin of my health . ' if it continued to flourish, and yet I . j was willing to make e*en that sacrifice i j for the sake of those delightful hours . ■ with Frances Caverly. I couldn't get any other chance to see i her. She 'taught a summer school and , : spent her evenings in study that the . work required, a most laborious life. I How she could bear it without sleep by night was a problem that begun to en gage my serious attention. On the oc ’ casion of the club’s fifth meeting I sug r gested to her about 2 o’clock in the ( morning that she ought to retire, . speaking of her health in most solicit ; ous terms. “I couldn’t sleep anyway,” said she: ' “I might be better here where I can enjoy myself.” ’ She laughed nervously as she spoke ‘ and her manner made me even more anxious about her than I had been be -1 fore. Though I was deeply sensible of the obligations of delicacy I could not - help regarding it as my duty to offer ' some advice and aid, but I couldn’t do t it without knowing what was the mat ’ ter. She did not resent such efforts as ’ I made to solve the problem, yet she would tell me no more than that there was a secret at the bottom of it. What I that secret could be I was unable to guess. > I felt very confident, however, that t she would reveal it to me if I could get a chance to talk with her alone, but . the Insomnia club did not provide that : opportunity. Mrs. Gale was the most t efficient chaperon that it was ever my . ill luck to encounter. She would not . have me lead Miss Caverly Into any I nook or corner for a tete-a-tete. ; Every New Yorker must remember • the extraordinay succession of hot and , cloudless days, with nights of breath less calm, that made this particular : September a. meteorological phenome ( non. My recollection does not supply me with a time when the Insomnia club could have met for so many con secutive nights. In a whole week we ! did not miss one and It was upon the . eighth night that the incident hap , pened which brought affairs to a cli max. The meeting was proceeding as usual. . There was one guest, a young lady, to ! whom Graves was devoting himself ’ with.as much assiduity as the vigilance ' of Mrs. Gale would permit. Miss Cav erly and I were sitting on the edge of ! the hatch that covered the stairway leading up from the garret. Suddenly I felt it tremble under us. I thought at first that it was giving way. Then I heard the rumble of a human i voice below. We all heard it and the Insomnia club was In a panic. "Hold the villain down," cried Graves, and, gathering the belongings of the club with wonderful celerity he hurled ! them upon the fire escape balcony. 'Thither the Gales and the guests had already fled. • “Go it, Graves,” said I, “we’ll follow’.” Miss Caverly had remained loyally by my side. “We ll never get to that balcony af ' ter we let go of this thing,” she whis jpered; “we'll be discovered.” “Run for it now,” I replied; “I’ll take my chances.” 1 “I will do no such thing,” she re-’ , turned with energy. "Then we'll both try a run for that . chimney,”. I whispered. “Now.” We released the hatch and fled on tiptoe for the shelter I had indicated. 1 It was lucky that we didn’t try to go 1 farther, for within three seconds that I hatch rose into the air as if a bomb 1 had exploded under it. A head appeared and a voice said, - “Ach, Gut.” j A man climbed out upon the roof.' > He was of ample proportions and of German type so pronounced as to be unmistakable even in the faint light of a waning moon. He brought a camp chair and a huge pipe with him and immediately proceeded to make him self comfortable. Miss Caverly and I were prisoners. ■ “It is perfectly dreadful,” she whis- , pered. “It is the first chance I have ever nad to say a word to you al . ’ I replied; “thank heavens we are now beyond the reach of chaperons.” And I immediately began to attack , the secret of that trouble which was the root of her extraordinary sleepless- I ness. It was necessary to show at the' (outset that my interest in her was deep ■ I and sincere, and so far as the secret j ;was concerned I did not advance be- i yond that point. When I had finished proving to her that her welfare was F my dearest concern in the world her | head was on my shoulder. Tnen our I lips touched and I forgot that there had 8 ever been a secret. The German went to sleep at 3.45 and we crept by him unobserved. The other insomniacs were anxiously await ing us. We all agreed that this inci dent dissolved the club and we parted Piam System Trains Operated by 90th Meridian Time—One Hour Slower Than City Time. TIME CARD IN EF FECT JAN. 29, 1899.

For my own part, aside from the natural joy which, filled my soul, I was greatly relieved by the thought of the club’s demise. I owed that German a double debt of gratitude. No ' longer would it be necessary for me to steep myself in black coffee. A fellow can see the girl that ho is engaged to with out so much trouble. That very morning before day had fully dawned I threw a small coffeepot out of my window and laid aside a brown paper bag with what remained of tny store of coffee for my landlady. When I came out into the hall the next morning Frances was just ahead of me. I called to her and she turned about. I tried to take both her hands but she held one of them behind her, concealing something. "It's nothing at all,” she said; “only a little coffee I happened to have. I was going to give it away.” "And is that the awful secret ,£hat drove sleep from your pillow'?” X de manded. “Yes,” she said; “I might as well,con fess. I am really a sound sleeper, but I liked the club. It gave me the chance of seeing— some—one—I—I cared for. You understand?” For answer I took a brown paper bag of coffee from, the side pocket of my coat. RELIEF FROM PAIN. Women Everywhere Express their Gratitude to Mrs. Pinkham. Hr». T. A. WALDEN, Olbson, Oa., writes: “Dear Mbs. Pinkiiaa: —Before tak ing your medicine, life was a burden to me. I never saw a well day. At my monthly period I suffered untold misery, and a great deal of the time I was troubled with a severe pain in my side. Before finishing the first bottle of your Vegetable Compound I could tell it was doing me good. I continued its use, also used the Liver Pills and Sanative Wash, and have been greatly helped. I would like to have you use my letter for the benefit of others.” nrs. FLORENCE A. WOLFE, gig Hulberry St., Lancaster, Ohio, writes: “ Deah Mbs. Pinkham:—For two years I was troubled with what the local physicians told me was inflamma tion of the womb. Every month I suf fered terribly. I had taken enough medicine from the doctors to cure any one, but obtained relief for a short time only. At last I concluded to write to you in regard to my case, and can say that by following your advice I am now pefectly well.” firs. W. R. BATES, flansfleld, La., writes: “ Before writing to you I suffered dreadfully from painful menstrua tion, leucorrhoea and sore feeling in the lower part of the bowels. Now my friends, want to know what makes me look so well. Ido not hesitate one min ute in telling them what has brought about this great change. I cannot praise Lydia E.
