How Wo Should Sleep.
In the matter of sleep, says a physi
cian, there are as many peculiar
things ns there are about eating—
what is one roan's food is another's
poison. This much is generally known
and accepted by standard authorities
on the subject, that tall or bulky peo
ple require more sleep than others
and that women can get along on much
less sleep than can men. As with ani
mals, human beings sleep much long
er and heartier In the winter than at
any other times. People of extreme
old age require as much sleep ns in
fants, and it is beneficial to both class
es if they can sleep one-half the time,
or even a greater proportion. There
Is one thing I would like to Impress
upon everyone, and that Is, it Is posi
tively Injurious for any one to sleep
longer than is actually necessary.

The Pot Called the Kettle Black Because the
Housewife Didn't Use
SAPOLIO
THE HISTORY OF ONE GIRL.
True Story of a One-Time Servant at
n Summer Resort.
Great lessons of life lie lild In the
homely Incidents which occur In shops
and as well as in the loftiest
poems. Here is a true little story which
may be a word in season to some of QUI
readers:
A few years ago, among the waiters
at a summer hotel In New Jersey was
a girl whom we shall call Jane. Sho
was strong, neat and quick-witted, but
she had spent all of her life in a kitchen,
scrubbing and washing dishes, and was
impatient to do different, and as she
thought better, work in tho world. She
could barely read and write, and she
was poor. When the hotel closed, and
the lonely coast was deserted by the
summer boarders, there was no way
by which she could earn a dollar.
She did her work in the hotel thor
oughly, and was quick and attentive,
but her discontent showed in her faco
and q)ajiii££. times when
she hated the idle,richly dressed women
whom she served, and she took no trou
ble to hide lier dislike.
There was one young girl whose eyes
often rested thoughtfully on her face.
Jane resented her "curiosity," as she
called it, and one day left her unserv
ed. When she was mildly reproved,
she answered insolently, and left the
room trembling with rage.
"I will have her discharged," said the
young girl's father, angrily.
"No, father, no. Leave her to me,"
his daughter entreated.
The next morning Jane was standing
by her chair when Miss B. appeared.
She was very pale, but her voice was
steady. "I wish to beg your pardon
before these ladies. I Insulted you be
fore them yesterday. You might have
reported me, but you aid not. I will
leave the hotel. I am not fit to be here."
"Go on with your work, Jane," said
Miss 8., gently, "and favor mo by com
ing to my room this afternoon."
When she saw her alone, she said.
"There is good stuff in you, or you
could not have conquered yourself ns
you did to-day. You are lit for higher
work than that you are doing. I have
watched you for some time. You are
intelligent, neat, and have warm sym
pathies. You would, I thiuk, succeed as
u trained nurse."
"I have thought of that!" cried tho
girl. "But I have no education. How
can I get the training?"
Miss B. used her influence to give her
a year's schooling, and then procured
her admittance to the New York train
ing school.
This woman is now the head of a pri
vate hospital in New York, to which
surgeons send patients who require un
usual care and skill in treatment. She
herself told this story.
How few apparently among the many
unhappy, poor girls give such faithful
work ns to attract notice! How few
also among the many happy, rich girls
give notice or help to those who serve
them!

STORIES OF TWO MEN WHO TER
RORIZED THE SOUTHWEST.
Ono Man *'llolll3 Up" a Stage Load
of Kight Passengers—Tracked to
Their Hiding Place by Apaches.
PAN ELICINS is remembered as
the origintljlone bandit of the
Southwest, because, single
handed, he once held up a
stage load of eight passengers, besides
the driver, all of whom were
armed. For weeks the exploit was
tko talk of the meu in and about
Tombstone. Judge Bennett, now of
San Gabriel, Cab, was one of the pas
sengers, and he tells how the robber
worked his desperate game.
"We on the inside of tke coach had
just been talking," eays the Judge,
"of tko robberies that Elkins and his
partner, Wilbur, had committed in
the Territory, and the shame it was
that an organized effort was not made
to go and keep after the villains uutil
they were killed, even if it took a
year, when we heard u rifle crack, and
a men shout to the driver :
" 'Come, now, stop tkoso horses or
you'll drop dead.'
"We were traveling through a rocky
region along the foothills, and each of
us knew instantly that all were in for
a hold-up then and there. Every ono
wondered what his neighbor would do
with his pistol.
" 'l'll be hanged,' said a big mau
from Texas, 'if I'll stand this non
sense,' and lie snatched his big shoot
ing iron up from the seat at his side.
"The driver put on the breaks and j
the stage was stopped at once, when
wo heard a voico outside saying:
" 'Now you fellers on the inside get
out on this side. Tho first man who
gets out on tho other side will drop
dead as a smelt. Don't bo lazy. All
of you throw down your shooters a.s j
you file out of tho coach, lor there's a j
lot of sure rifle shots that's got their i
eyes ou you and aro hiding in these j
hero rocks to lay you out cold dead if !
you don't mind what I'm telliug you.' ,
"When I got out of tho stage I no- ;
ticed that the highwayman wore a
wire mask ooutrivauce over his face, I
and had a big black beard and a whole j
arsenal of weapons in a belt about his !
waist. He stood on a commanding ;
boulder, and kept his Winchester re
peater moving slowly over us. I took
particular pains that ho saw I threw
down my two pistols on tho ground, !
and I noticed that every one of us,
including tho Texan, did the same
thing.
" 'Throw up your hands, gent 3,'
said the masked robber, when we were
all on the ground and our pistols lay
there in a pile by the side of the coach
wheels. 'Now get in line there, quick
and face this way. Keep your bauds
above your heuds, don't move; keep
your mouths shut or you'll kuow how
quick a man cau go plumb to death."
"We got iu lino facing our comman
der in a moment, and none of us could
extend his hands quite high enough.
" 'Now, you young fellow with the
monkey whiskers,' said tho highway
man, 'you just shell out there where
you stand. Turn your pockets inside
out, so me and my pards can seo that
you're dealing fair. That's right.
Now, wkilo me and my pards keep you
in guu range, you search that next
mm, turn his pockets out. Keep your
bauds up high, gouts, and save trouble.
Don't speak.'
"In a few minutes that seemed like
ages of au awful silence, each man was
searched, and wo all stood there in a
row with our pockets turned out and
flapping in tho morning breeze,
our hands a full foot above our
heads, and a small pile of wallets,
watches, little pocket leather and cloth
bags of coin lay at the feet of the youug
man of our parry, who had been com
pelled to search his companions.
" 'Now, you driver, throw that
money box oil quick, while my pards
keep you in rauge,' said the robber
when we had been searched. 'There ;
that's right. Be lively. It may cost
you your carcass. Get that ax under
the back seat aud chop the box open.
HuAy up. Don't speak, and don't
get behind that coach, or you'll drop.'
"The ax was got, and the driver
chopped opeu the box near us while
we stood there like metal forms iu
front of clothing stores. When the
box had been split apart and the valua
bles thrown out, tho highwayman, all
the time keeping his rifle slowly mov
ing up and down our lino of silent,
haud-uplifled men, said:
" 'Now, driver, get up on your seat.
You gents get into your coach. Don't
let me hear you peep. Driver, lick
your horses up fast and get out of
this.
" 'Now, gents,' said he, as tho last
of us had got back into our seats,
weaponless, 'you cau brag that you've
been held up by a singlchanded in the
profesh. I don't mind tolling you
that I'm all aloue to day and that I
need your money awful bad. Tell
them Tombstone fellers that Dan El
kins has a new trick in his line of
business.'
"The horses were whippednip, and
the last wo saw of Dan Elkins he stood
there on that big boulder keeping his
bead still on us unfcill wo turned in
the foothill road a mile away. I think
tho rascal must have got 81000 that
day. You see we did not carry much
money on our persons in those days
when there was danger of highway
robbery."
During the winter of 1879 and 1880,
tho recklessuoss and bravado of Elkins
and his partner, Wilbur, became un
bearable, and people began to see that
the stage robberies were hurting the
name of Arizona, so an unusual effort
was made to get the rascr.is. An ex
tra reward for their oapture was of
fered, and two or three detectives from
Los Angeles, Cal., began work. Sev
eral half-breed Apache Indian trailers
were hired, and alter a few weeks the
trail to Hie bandits was found. These
Apache trailers use the most wonder
ful of llicir kind. They sometimes
follow a man's tracks across a desert
of sand, even after a wind storm, when
the tracks have become obliterated to
white men's eves. They enn follownfc
break-neck speed on a horse the trail
of a man who has run in mocasins and
tftktn pains to leave only the faintest
truces of hio course. They see signs
of 8, trail through cactus au.l sago
brush that no white man would recog
nize.
After ft short period of more trail
ing and questioning of the few white
settlers in the rcgiou Elkins and Wil
bur were located. Their hiding place
was thirty miles south from Benson,
among the granite foothills, where no
white man but they had probublv ever
been. ludiaus were hired to go to the
spot, and to act as if diey were out
hunting and hudunwittingly stumbled
upon tho bandits. Then when the In
dians had engaged Eikins and Wilbur
in conversation they were to give ft
signa l . A posse of twenty meu was to
ride at once to the sceue. Each man
in tho baud was to take his chances of
getting shot by the robbers.
The plan worked well. The bandits
were asleep when the Indians carno to
thtin one warm afternoon. The
Apaches asked for food, and while
Wilbur went to get n knifo to out ft
slico from a deer hanging in tho mes
quite brush near at hand one of the
Indians, pretendiug to be interested
in one of tho white stranger's pistols,
discharged it. A few minutes later
the posse rode up pell niell from be
lrnd ft low foothill that impeded the
view half a mile away.
"We'ro trapped! we're trapped!"
shrieked Elkins as he jumped from his
couch of leaves and saw tue horsemen
encircling about his hidiug place.
In ft second he and Wilbur were be
biud two great oaks, an 1 were pre
pared to fight for their live-. They
forgot the ludiaus at their rear, and
no sooner had they turned their faces
toward tho aclvauciug posse than they
were shut dead in the back by tho
Apache trailers.
There is good reason to believe that
if the meu had been captured alivo
they might have been induced to tell
where they had hidden tho greater
part of their stolen money and gold,
for no one thinks that, living ns they
did, they spent more thnu a small part
of their illgotten gains. Both tho
robbers wcro buried whero they were
killed, and to this day there are peo
ple who go out from tho now well
populated town of Benson every little
while to tho sceuo of the old camp of
Elkins aud Wilbur in the hope of find
ing the secret storehouse of stoleu
riches among tho b< nlders and foot
hills that surround tho spot.—Now

New York City is the birthplace of
several expressions that have been for
many years current all over the
world. These expressions aro not the
outcome of scholarly thought and cul
ture. Although our professioual men
have dutifully aud generously aided in
the circulation aud ennoblement of
ueologisuis foreign born, tho apt yet
unstudied offerings of the untutored
workman have hold their own iu lit
erature as well as in every day speech,
while many labored results of learned
mind-workers and would-be mind
uiasters of words have lived but long
enough to bo named.
The word boss, which came into
common use during the regime of
William M. Tweed, is the Dutch bass
—master. In the luuguage to which
it belongs it is much used iu compo
sition. Thus, timmerman bass is a
muster carpenter; and a preacher is
in Dutch merely a church boss.
Only a few years ago public atten
tion began to be called to the preva
lence of tho various forms of vice in
what was then considered tho choioest
resideutal part of tho city. A news
paper reporter named the region the
"Tenderloin District," and a* suoh it
is destined to bo known for a long
time to come, while tho name tender
loin will do duty similarly in other
towns as they grow more like tho city
in their notable characteristics.
Porter is the narno given in London
more than a century ago to a very
dark and heavy beer much fancied by
porters and other out-door workmen.
The word and the thing came to New
York m'due time, and porter was soon
in demand as a beverage among the
wharfmen, truckmen, and 'Jongshoro
men engaged on the river fronts of
tho east and west sides of tho city.
One taverner iu Burling Slip became
famous for the porter ho sold, aud his
place gradually gained the distinction
of being the porter-house of the towu.
In course of time he added all the fa
cilities of a hotel to his "public," and
increased its reputation by furnishing
his customers a steak such as they
could get no whero else. They called
it the "porter house steak," and by
that nunc a particularly choice cut of
tho steak part of a steer is known
everywhere. Harper's Weekly.
Premature Taking Oil of a Piute.
Johnnie Cleveland, the Piute JndiAn
recently killed at Reno, Nev., was
louked upon as tho coming chief, and
is being vigorously mourneJ. A sort
of tent has been erected especially to
mourn in, and here through the hours
sit a dozen Indian women, their hair
disheveled aud their fuces painted
with black earth. Tho mourning
chant or wail is led by the aged
mother of Johnnie Cleveland. sSho sits
and runs her fingers through her long,
matted hair. She sways to aud fro,
and at regular intervals commences iu
a high key and wails down the whole
gamut, ending in almost gntteral
sounds. She commences the wail as a
solo, but when she gets about half way
through it tho other squaws take up
the cry in the same note that she did,
only they howl iu faster time than
their lender, aud tho wholo chorus
ends up the wail together. The effect
is a combination of sounds more
hideous than anything civilized ears
ever hear.—New Orleans Picayune.
No Way of Stopping.
An English canon, in his capacity a
magistrate,was once visiting tho coun
ty jail, and expatiated to a friend who
was with him on the virtues of the
treadmill. Warming with his thome,
ho declared that ho often wished he
had ono at home to give him the gentle
exercise he requires, but was too lazy
to take except under compulsion; and,
to remove his friend's scepticism, he
asked tho warder to give him a turn.
Round went tho wheel, tho canon do
c'laring that the movement was de
lightful; but alter two minutes of it
he had had enough, and called upon
the officer to stop the mill. To his
honor, the officer answered: "Very
sorty, sir, I can't. It's timed to go fif
teen minutes, and won't stop before."

From the Tribune, Hornellsville, A r . T.
There is no man in Oneida County, Now
York, who stands higher in the community
than Mr. William H. Brtggs, a wealthy
farmer, and resident of Bridgewater, and a
prominent me.nber of the G. A. R. His
statement will not be news to his friends, as
they all know whereof he writes, but it is
commended to the consideration of the pub
lie. Mr. Briggs writes as follows:
"It gives me great pleasure and satisfac
tion to be able to give honor where honor is
due, and to that end I make this certiflcate,
hoping it may be the means of othors being
benefited as I have beon.
"I am a farmer residing near Bridgewater,
Oneida County, Now York; my name is
William H. Briggs, and I am 56 years old.
I am an old soldier, and member of the
G. A. R., having served as high privato in
Co. A. Ist New York Artillery, during the
whole four years of the Rebollion. Though
not a pensioner, and never an applicant for
pension, I contracted through malarial cli
mate, disease of liver and stomach, from
which I suffered continuously, in various
forms. In 1863 I had the jaundice, and it
continued for years, to a greater or lesser
degree. I never was free from dyspepsia,
and palpitation of tho heart, and suffered
from nervous debility to such an extent
that I could neither r-st by night nor work
by day. Night after night I walked the
floor tormented by vague fears, which I
knew were purely imaginary, and yet I
could not sknke them oIT. 1 came home in
June, 1865, and from then until 1894 I was
constantly attended by physicians, haviug
employed three at different times during
that period. These good dootorc gave mo
occasionally temporary relief, but the good
effects of their treatment quickly disap
peared, and loft me more despondent and
wretched than over.
"I did not behove In giving up, and was
about to send to Utica for a another physi
cian, wlion Mr. H. Heifert, tho blacksmith
who attends to my horsos, recommended me
to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, as he assured
me they had done wonderful things for him.
I had road of these pills bofore and felt
somewhat inclined to try tnotn, before Boi
fert spoke of thera, but his rocoramendation
settl;d the matter, and I became Dr. Will
iams' pat ient. I took Piak Pills steadily un
til I havo consumed four boxes, growing
better and better every day, my liver work
ing freely, my kidneys acting norma'ly. My
hoart no longer troubled mo, aud I could di
gest my food. All thai water brash, honrt
burn, buzzing In tho head, as if there were a
great empty space lu iny cranium, disap
peared, anil life began to bo worth living,
which it ha t not boon since my army ser
vice. Iwuscureil in less than one*voir
from the time I bognn to take Pink Pills in
1894, aud have been In fair health ever
since. Of c< *rse, I havo to be caroful, as I
easily catch cold, and it is apt to settle h.
my right side, but a dose or two of the Pink
Pills soon set mo to rights again, und I shall
never bo without them, unless something
very unforeseen occurs.
"I do not want it understood that I am
casting any stress against those who aro pen
sioners. If I were needy 1 should certaiuly
ask for what I atn entitled to, but being am
ply provided with this world's goods, I lo
not require it. My old comrades can testify
that I have helped nuny a one of them to
got a pension.
