Reeves, of Lit_ tle Rock. - “I remember as a boy a certain old gray mare that belonged to our fam- ily, which one of my older brothers had ridden the whole time of his ser- vice in the Confederate ‘army. She was a magnificent saddle animal and ordinarily as gentle as a lamb, but if anyone ventured to say, wk back, ‘Look out, the Yankecs are com- ing!’ she would proceed to. bolt at the very top of her speed, as though ter- ror-stricken, and ‘it ‘was a difficult thing to quiet her’down. -1 suppose the words had in some way been borne in upon her equine _ intelli- gence during the conflict ‘and they must have had some ‘frightful mean- ing. Once I addresséd them to her ‘to my sorrow, for, suddenly wheeling, she left the road and: plunged into a thick piece of woodland, with the re- sult that a projecting limb knocked me senseless to the ground. After that when astride of the old mare I stu. dicusly avoided all reference to the Yankees."—Washington Post. How to Get to Sleep. Nervous people who are stroubled with wakefulness and cxcitability have usually a strong tendency of ‘tlood to the brain, with cold extrem- ities. A The pressure of blood on the brain keeps it in a stimulated or wakeful state, and the pulsations in the head are often painful. If these symptoms occur in your case, you should rise and chafe the body ana extremities with a rough towel, or run smartly with the hands to promote circulation and withdraw the exces- sive amount of blood from the brain, after which you will probably fall asleep in a few minutes. A cold bath, or a sponge bath and rubbing, or a rapid walk in the open air, or goi up and down stairs a few times before retiring, will aid in equalizing the circulation and promoting slecp.

A great many country people have a very limited knowledge of banking and business methods, We know of people who very unwisely keep their surplus money in their houses. For instance, we heard a man say the other day that he was afraid to put his money in the bank as the bank might fail. He was also afraid to de- posit it in the safe of the merchant, as the safe crackers might get. it From the latter it will be seen that he had an idea that when he places his money in the safe of a merchant hig money is carefully marked and Iaid away and kept in the safe for him, ‘the identical hills or coin he depos- its, when in fact the merchant gives him credit for it on his books, just as a bank would do, and uses the money in his business. The merchant's safe might be robbed, but the depositor would get his money when he wanted it," just the same. Merchants do not keep their money in their safes—not enough to break them if they should get robbed—but they put it in the banks, because that is the safest place to keep it, anyway it is se considered by the biggest business men of the world, and to be sure far mers and oth- ers who have small savings ean afford to risk them by the same methods that are used by the great financiers of the world.—Marshville Home. ——ree— Sie WISE WORDS. : ; talkative man to It is difficult for the find willing listeners.

Ouce there were two sisters, one of whom was noted for the expensiveness and the variety of her dresses, while the other was commented upon for the gimplicity of her attire. It was known that she had made one dress do. for three seasons, also. Now there came two princes seeking wives. And the first prince said: “I will marry the girl who has always worn such expensive clothes, because she will have bad her fill of finery and will be content io dress modes{ly and not run up big bills at the modiste’s.” The sceond prince said: “I will marry the other girl, for she has alrcady shown her disposition and tastes and ought to make a jewel of a wife.” But after they were married, the girl who had always dressed so simply went ‘in for the costliest garb she could get. She said she must make up for lost time. : And the other girl wore more expen- sive dresses than ever, becauSe, she said, it would never do to permit her sister to outdo her. This lesson teaches us that one man can guess as well as another.—Life. eet He Was Training.

No matter” Low late she may have retired, no matter how ex- hausted she may have been, no matter how faint the ‘yes’ in. answer to the knock, that comes from the bed, you can bank on it that within a half hour or so that woman will walk into the dining room bright-eyed and cheerful; but with a man—well, it’s different. “A man may leave a call for 7 o'clock in the morning with the warning that he must be up at that hour. A few minutes before 7 you detail a boy for the purpose and tell him not to stop pounding until the man awakes. The room may be on the top fipor, but you. can hear the thump, thump, thump on the door office. Does the man wake with a faint” ‘yes’ and seramble ou: of bed? Not he. ' The boy knocks until his knuckles are sore, and then suddenly a stentorian voice roars from the room, ‘Yes, yes, what in blazes is the matter with you?

But some of the uses to which this instrument. has been adapted by ingenious farm women surely go beyond the pleasantest antic- ipations of its inventor. In many of the counties of the middle West the telephone has becon:e so pop- uiar that there is one in almost every farmhouse. Many incidents attest tie adaptability, of the instrument to the varied needs of country life, One cold lady of well-known sociability was found by a ‘chance caller sitting pleasantly at her knitting, and wear- ing what at first appeared to be some curious headgear, but what, en a closer view, was seen to be the telephone re- ceiver fixed to her head by au old hat- band. All the telephone subscribers on the road were on a single line, and the old lady's ear was “hitched” to 111 the private news of the countryside. Tn another instance a young mother, finding it necessary to go to’ a neigh- boring farin on household business, took down fhe receiver and laid it near her sleeping infant, and requested *Centrzl’”’ to “Ring me up at Mrs Hall's if ‘you hear the baby cry.” A physician, making a couniry call, found himself in avant otf something he had left in town. He. went to the farmer's telephone to request that. it be sent to- hom. As he did so the un- mistakable click of. receiver, hocks could be heard all along the line.
