wearied with the tolls of the day and
rolHtost them for labor. "
Thus' spake Ovid about thu year 10
n. O. Since then liltlo him been added
to our knowledge of the actual mech-
mitsm of Bleep. Psychologist * and
physiologists have their theories , but
us It l.i dlfllcult to put the sleeping
brnln under the microscope the "niyn-
tery of folded sleep" Irf still a mystery.
Theories of Sleep.
Some hnve thought that the gradual
accumulation of waste products In the
blood brings on a condition of Irrita
bility or fatigue of the brain cells ,
dually resulting In depression and unconsciousness -
consciousness ; others , that the dull-
cato lllauieutrt by which the higher

brain cells communicate are retracted
during aleep , thin withdrawing the
brain from outside stimulation.
It in coueelvublo that If all our Heuae *
-by .which we commiinlentu with the
external world were paralyzed sleep
would automatically follow. Kor example -
ample , suppose complete paralysln of
all sensory nerves except those of one
eye existed. By cloning tills the pa
tient would at once be put to sleep.
Another theory assume. * that the cen
ter the Taso motor nerve center at
the base of the brain which controls
the blood vessels uml equalizes the
circulation of the blood throughout the
body , becomes fatigued , resulting In n
dilation of the arteries of the body nnd
a lessened blood supply la the brain.
It seems well established that during
sleep a condition of anaemia of the
brain exists , whatever may be the
causes underlying it. Thin explains
Uia feeling of drowsiness after a hearty
meal , when there la a determination
of blood to the digestive organs and
a withdrawal of blood from the brain.
Importance of Sleep.
But there are many kiudi of sleep
and the gentle poet refers to only one
kind healthful , restful sleep the kind
that "slides into the soul. "
That sleep la an Important thing Is
sufficiently evidenced by the fact that
man spends about ouo-thlrd of his life
time in that condition. Those who
have tried to lessen thin proportion
have usually paid the penalty which
nature exacts for any attempt to cheat
In "playing the game. "
Valu * of Early Training.
Bablca should sleep moat of the time
but most of them dou't The dUcl
, pllno of early retiring should bo com
uieucod in childhood and rigidly en
forced. The practice of allowing little
children to sit up in the evening so
that papa may play with them la
heartless , selfish nnd cruel. Children
under ten years of age should be pu
to bed not later than 0:30 : o'clock ; frou
ten to fourteen years of ago 8 o'clock
should be the limit , and from then on
until maturity Is reached 0 o'clock is a
safe and sane hour.
The evening meal should be slnipl
and nil excitement romping , reading
of exciting tales , hard study , etc.
avoided. An etl'ort should be made to
encourage rather than disturb the nat
ural drowsy preliminary to the healthy
sleep , which Is real food to the rapidly
developing child brain.
With n good start In life along these
lines It will take a vast amount of
abuse and neglect to destroy the habit
of healthful sleep. But modern life
Is complex ; Its work and play are ex
citing , strenuous and often unsettling.
The childhood habit of sound Bleep ,
when the rain upon the-roof was a
pleasant and soothing sound , la too
often succeeded by the light and fitful
sleep which vanishes with a creaking
shutter or a gust of wind.
When ono roaches such a state , what
to do7 It is easier to any what not to
do , and wo will approach the subject
flrat from that standpoint
Thing * to Avoid ,
Do mot , above all things , seek relief
in rfrucs. They are seldom really
needed , nnd when they arc actually
necessary It Is playing with dangerous
fire to use them except under the ad
vice and control of a phyalclnn.
Another thing to avoid Is worry over
uaa or aieep. it U surprising how lit

nnd never give a thought to the loss ol

ti 'h fnini insomnia In cniinwl it < ihi
ttondnnt worrlment and fcnr th.it the
ondltlon will become chronic and that
lie lost sleep has produced some grave
njury to health.
As a matter of fact , most cnse.s of
iiHomnla are readily curable If the
mtlent's co-operation can be secured.
n cases of mild Insomnia , where the
rouble M not of long standing and Is
uc to worry , overwork or nerve strain
f some kind , very simple remedies
will often BUlllco , and it la nt this stage
hat a determined effort should be
imdo to check the growing hablL
In the first place , have faith in your
blllty to check the tendency. Ite-
olvo that you will not cnrry your
ares to bed with you and especially
void harassing problems Immediately
> eforo retiring. Do your hard think-
ng In the morning hours. You will
hlnk more clearly and take le.so time
bout It. Make it n nettled practice to
work out your tough life problems In
ho early hours of the day.
It is surprising how n prodigious
worry which after a long day's work
oems onormoim nnd threatening , like
he genii ! emerging from a bottle In
he Arabian talc , will dwindle to rldlc-
ilous proportions when viewed In the
Horning light. The tirwl brain cannot
get a true perspective of affairs , and
imt as everything seen through a
ough , uneven glass appear * distorted
HO do our troubles when seen through
Ircd oyos. The rested morning brain
s well balanced. It weighs accurately
nnd will measure real trouble when it
comes and more thoroughly prepare to
ueet It than the overworked "cven-
ng" brain , which Is always crying
'Wolf , wolf ! " If you nro a commuter
hlnk It out on the ( rain. If you are n
furmor wrestle with It as you plow
the field. If you are BO thrlco blessed
RS to have a garden nnd n spare mo-
incut work it dig , dig and at one and
ho snmo time you will gain health
mid surceuRO from your mental strains
nnd twists.
When to Call Physician.
If nil efforts to expel earn from tlu
mind at night fall nnd the brain con
tinues overacting In splto of every ef
fort , If some sharp corner In life Is
being turned end nature' * limit has
been reached , then the time for the
physician has arrived. Bleep under
such circumstances must be had if
prolonged Illness or mental breakdown
s to be avoided. The physician mut
use his judgment lu each particular
case , but It U seldom that ho can
not bring relief nnd restore control.
It Is only where rccklca * neglect nnd
self drugging have undermined the
nervous system that his efforts fail.
In the milder canes of insomnia ,
however , lu addition to the cultiva
tion of self control nnd orderly think
ing habits as nbove outlined , there are
simple measures which are often ef
fective. The most potent Is the hot
foot bath. If you nre skeptical , try It
Home night when your brain is throb
bing and your hend Is spinning from
a long , vexatious dny. Immerse the
foot In water as hot as can be borue
for ten to twenty minutes Then hop
Into bed. shut your eyes , and it will
be rare indeed Mint the "Lnnd of Nod"
will not open to you and give you rest.
The evonlni ; foot bntli U n mighty
good thing even for those who are not
especially troubled with insomnia. It
rests the brain nnd promotes a more
normal sleep than most civilized people
nre able to get.
Another good remedy IB a slightly
warm general bath Just before retir
ing. Both hot and cold general batha
are stimulating and will not promote
sleep.
Importance of Dttt.
Uestless , disturbed aleep with wear
ing dreams the kind the little boy
has In the funny papers ia not un
common. In such cases indigestion la
frequently responsible. Careful diet at
( he evening meal U worth while If you
wish to avoid trouble. Thorough chewIng -
Ing of all bread , pastry and vegetable
food is advisable. Constipation must
also be guarded ngatust , not by the
constant use of cathartics , but by ex
ercise , water taken rather freely be-

twceu meals and regular habits. "Acid
stomach" and Intestinal fermentation ,
causing the accumulation of gas , are
often the cause of restless sleep. Ini-
uediato relief may bo had through situ-
> le domestic remedies , such as milk of
magnesia , bicarbonate of soda , etc. ,
but au effort should be made to pre
vent such a condition by proper eating
habits.
Late suppers , tea , coffee , etc. , are , of
course , to be avoided by those who do
not rest well.

E UR.OPEAN
NEWS AND VIEWS
London , March ! . One will have to
HO back twenty-six yours to find n par
allel to such an exciting session of
parliament as Is tlio present one. Tliat
was when Mr. Gladstone changed Ms
tinrid and came out for home rule.
The next most exciting time was In
11103 when Joseph Chamberlain - proposed
posed to abandon free trade. The re
sistance to the parliament bill will be
strenuous , but the measure is expect
ed to be carried through commons ear
ly In May , without doubt. The lords
can not depend upon the king to ex-
trlcate them from their critical posi
tion. They must light their own battle -
tlo and they do not know how to meet
the argument that the parliament bill
has received popular sanction and can
not be rejected.
Were Is not for the condition of Mr.
Lloyd-George's health the ministry
could be said to be In line lighting
form. Hut although the chancellor of
the exchequer- much Impioved , his
ph > * leans have warned Mr. Lloyd-
George that his voice must not be
strained by persistent use , or he may
be forced to retire from public llfo
permanently. The financial business
Is heavily In arrears and the chancel
lor alone can extricate the treasury
from the various complications and
clear the ground for another Install-
ent of the democratic politics out-
ned In the budget speech and for the
troductlon of disability pensions and
system of insurance against unem-
loyment.
While the government has secured
resli supplies of debating power , the
pposltion has failed to bring forth
ny new debaters , and there Is a
earth of ability in the front of the
pposltion bench. The most serious
omplalnt against the unionist party
rgnnizntion Is that the safe seats are
liken by men who have money rather
inn talent , and that ambitious men
f real ability are left to contest hope-
boroughs and are kept out of par-
ament.
The Very Reverend William ftfel-
aunt Furneaux , dean of Winchester ,
is revising the Ten Command-
nents , is said to be perplexed about
hanging the second , fourth and tenth
ommandmeuts , especially. Two of
hem happen to be long command' '
icnts and his task is to suggest ways
f shortening all three. He has not
ecided what to do about tUe second ,
vhich forbids the making of graven
iuages , or about the fourth , in which
11 our Sunday laws are rooted. He
reposes to shorten the tenth , which
orbids us to covet our neighbor's
ouse , wife , manservant , maidservant ,
x , ass , or anything that is his , by
naking it read simply , "Thou shall
iOt covet. "
Again the salary of the Lord Mayor

Abronautical prospects for this year
re bright , in the opinion of the lead
ng airship makers of Germany. The
Zeppelin company is preparing to
aunch at least three airships during
ho year and all will carry passengers.
l"he latest type of plane now in course
if construction by the Zeppelin com-
iany Is a small aerial cruiser for army
coining purposes. It is only COO feet
eng , but it has engines equal in pow
er to those of the Deutchland and
s more pointed In shape. There are

racls on hand.
Not long agb the spread of foot and
nouth disease in Sweden was at
ribnted by an eminent authority to
sea gulls and other birds , which iiv
reduced the germs of the malady
rom infected areas in north Germany ,
In upper Austria the disease pro-
rails among the cattle , also , and a
remarkable explanation has been of'
'ered for It and accepted by the loca
authorities. It is the old recognized
ustom among young farm hands on
isolated homesteads there to go court-
ng the maids on other farms In the
evening on the Romeo and Juliet
plan ; that is she leans out of the
window , while the swain stands out
side just within reach of her hand.
This "Fensternlgehn , " as It is locally
called , is now held to be responsible
for the spreading of the cattle dis
ease through germs carried on clothes
or boots from Infected farms to clean
ones. Alas for romance , "Fensternl-
gehen" Is forbidden on palii of fines
and imprisonment.
London has a now synagogue for
the adherents of the Liberal Jewish
movement , which seeks to promote a
Jewish religious union. It was in
augurated three weeks ago by a ser
vice which differs from that followed
by the orthodox synagogue In that
a considerable proportion of English
prayers and hymns are used. There
is also an organ and the sexes are
not rigorously separated. The sup
porters of the movement have taken
the position with regard to the Dible
and the Talmud that they cannot re
gard these books as verbally divinely
inspired and as sources of authority
to the modern Jew in every particu
lar. The Rev. Claude Montelllerc.
who Is the leader of the movement ,
thinks that liberal Judaism demands
and justifies for the Jews of the west
an embodiment which Is In accordance
ance- with western conditions.
At the outset of the particularly
festive season of the coronation the
public Is facing a great Increase In
the prlco of champagne. Urauds
which sold last year" for 121.25 to
? 2I.r ! > 0 n case , now bring from $ C to $ G
more. All around the increase is es
timated at I'.O per cent This is due
to the almost complete failure of the
vintage of 1908 and 1P09 and the coin-
great deal of pain constantly , with no
plete failure of that of last year.
The old conflict In Germany be
tween the 'supporters of the Latin and
Gothic character In writing has brok
en out with great fury. The Immedi

zens that only the Latin character
bo used for the first three years of
school Instruction.
Yeggs Lose Legal Fight.
James Morrison and Harry Joyce ,
ariested in Sioux City about twoyeara
ago on the charge of robbing the bank
at Hadar , have Just lost their final
battle In the courts and must stay in
prison.
H. V. Hnrnhnrt , attorney for the
men , has received word that the su
preme court of Nebraska has sustain
ed the district court in convicting the
men. The lengthy legal battle for
reedom started in Sioux City when
10 prisoners put up a hot fight
gainst being taken back to Nebraska ,
he third member of the trio , James
llley , was released on a habeas cor-
nis proceeding in the district court at
loux City.
Morrison and Joyce were taken to
Pierce for trial and were convicted ,
'he case was carried to the supreme
ourt , which has just ruled that the
nen must stay in prison , where they
, ave served a year already.
The bank robbers came to Norfolk ,
euialnitig at a local rooming house
or some nights just before they dy-
amlted the bank at Hadar.
ANOTHER HORSE IS DYING.
Another valuable pure bred Belgian
erse , one of the consignment sent to
I. L. Carlson from Zulte , Belgium , is
ixpected to die. The horse is but 8
lonths old and is suffering from lung
'ever. The extremely severe storms
n the Atlantic ocean and the seven
.een-day voyage are the probable
auses of the severe illness of this
aluable animal.
The nineteen thoroughbreds are
itabled and cared for at the Carlson
reeding barns on East Norfolk av-
snue and many people visited them
'rlday ' and Saturday. Among the vis
tors jvere several purchasers who are
nxious to get in possession of at least
'iio ' of these animals for breeding pur
loses. One of the horses spoken for
ijy Dr. C. J. Verges will probably sell
'or165 and In a year it is estimated
t will be worth $1,000. The purchas-
rs of the horses have not yet been
tnnounced , but Mr. Carlson is giving
he local breeders a preference over
he applications of breeders living
iway from this vicinity.
Six New Autos Bought in Norfolk.
The following Norfolk people have
placed orders for Overland automo
biles with A. Koyen :
C. P. Parish , George B. Christoph ,
W. P. Logan , George M. Dudley , jr. ,
G. 11. Buttorlleld , W. S. Butterfield.
1,000 Acres of Alfalfa.
Because W. H. Butterfleld & Son
of Norfolk , owners of 10,000 acres of
'arm and ranch land in north Nebras
ka , have found after much experiment-
ng that alfalfa is the most profitable
crop for feeding cattle and that all the
alfalfa raised on the Butterfleld
ranches has been used up by their
own stock , the management has decid
ed to plant more of this crop , and
will eventually have a thousand acres
planted in alfalfa.
G. D. Butterfleld and Professor E
W. Hunt , the alfalfa expert , had a
conference Thursday evening which
resulted in Mr. Butterfield's ordering
fifty bushels of alfalfa seed and an
nouncing that he would gradually keep
ncreaslng the planting of alfalfa un
: il n thousand acres in the vicinity of
Wausa is producing this grass.
Mr. Butterfield's order of seed
: hrough Professor Hunt was chiellj
due to the fact that there Is a swindle
even in the sale of alfalfa seed. Mr
Untterfield's order goes to Chadron
where ho declares the climate is semi
arid and the winter weather Is more
severe than In this territory.
Seed from a region that is more severe
vero is better to bring to a milder ell
mate than seed from a warmer sec
tlon , as the mild climate seed suffers
when transferred to severer condl
tlons.
Mr. Butterfleld was an enthusiastic
attendant at the Northwestern land
show , when the railroad brought the
exhibit here.
Professor Hunt received notice
Thursday evening that the road was
about to send the show through Wis
consln , and he will accompany it fo
the purpose of lecturing on the alfalfa
product It la believed by Professor
Hunt that the show will be cut down
somewhat to make it more convenien
for packing and exhibiting.
School Notes.
The- grades are planning an operetta
"Tho Couiktess of Tlvoll. " March 24.
It will include children of all the
grades and will be a moat pleasing
and elaborate program.
The interest In the real atudy of ag
riculture in our high school still keeps
up. The students are learning real
things from real farmers , as well as
facts in books. Last week the eighth
and ninth grades went to the alfalfa
show , and Thursday morning of this
week they attended the farmers' in i
tltute. The high school , too , has been
orttmiito In Its visitors for the week ,

The Latin society met last week
Thursday evening after school , nt
vhlch the first of a series of programs
\ns given. A representation of the
lementary Latin school was first glv-
n , which was very amusing as well
is Instructive. Descriptions were then
; iveti of the higher grades In the Lat-
11 course of education. Another inter-
'sting feature was an original Latin
oration which Caesar was supposed to
uivc given to encourage his men just
before a battle. A Latin song sung by
i girls' quartet was also well appre
ciated. The program ended with n
Latin song sung by the entire society.
History of Sixty first Congress ,
Washington , March 4. In the retro
spect , the Sixty-first congress , which
expired by constitutional limitation at
noon today , appears to have been dis
tinguished by three things : The re
vision of the tariff in the so-called
Payne-Aldrlch bill , which was passed
nt an extra session In the summer of
1909 ; the large amount of Important
egislatlon , much of It upon the recom
mendation of President Taft enacted
it the regular session of 1909-10 , and
he exceedingly small product of the
'short session" so-called , now closed.
The Interval between the last two
sessions was marked by the political
upheaval registered at the general
election last November , which chang
ed a large republican majority Into a
still larger democratic majority in the
louse of representatives ; cut the re
publican majority In the senate al
most to the vanishing point and incl
dentally effected striking changes in
the senate personnel.
The failure of this session to enact
much important legislation has result
ed in the practical certainty that the
new Sixty-second congress will be
called almost immediately in extraor
dinary session , especially by reason
of the strong desire of President Taft
to secure action upon the pending rec
[ procity agreement with Canada , to
the consummation of which the con
tracting parties pledged the utmost
efforts of the two governments.
In strong contrast with the support
which the Taft administration receiv
ed from the republican majority In the
matter of legislation in the regular
session of 1909-10 Is the fact that at
the present session the majority has
been anything but united ; the reel'
procity agreement was passed In the
house by the aid of a large portion of
democratic votes , while in the senate
the rift in the majority between the
"regulars" and the "insurgents" has
been an important factor in Its side
tracking and in the consequent sum
moning of the extra session ,
To this division in the majority was
largely due the most dramatic feature
of the previous long session the pro
tracted and sensational conflict last
spring which ended in material
changes in the house rules generally
Interpreted as "the overthrow of the
speaker" and which , after a bitter
fight lasting many hours and Including
one all night struggle , stopped only
just short of the actual unseating of
Speaker Cannon.
While the acrimony between regu
lars and insurgents neither began nor
ended with the battle over the rules ,
that was Its most conspicuous epi
sode , and there has been little peace
between the factions since in either
house.
In the senate the most sensational
feature of this session was the un
availing effort. In which the insurgents
were most active , to unseat William
I onmer as junior senator from Il
linois , on the ground of alleged brib
ery in connection with his election bj
the legislature of that state in the
spring of 1909. The echoes of that
battle are still reverberating , and its
bitterness adds friction to the closing
hours of the senate session.
Another important recent action of
the senate was the defeat of the resolution
elution embodying a proposed amend
ment to the constitution of the United
States to provide- for the direct elec
tion of senators by the people.
This resolution received more than
a majority of the senate , but it needed
a two-thirds vote , and fell short by
only four. Had the senate passed it ,
the house almost certainly would have
done so. The friends of this propo
sition eptertaln little doube that it
will pass the next congress , and go to
the states for ratification or defeat.
The output of this session in the
way of general measures 12Sa con
sists chiefly of the appropriation bills
and several of them have seemed to
be in danger more than once In the
tense situation of the last few days
when long hours passed away in fill'
bustering on one side or the other.
Thousands of bills were Introduced
nnd thousands more came to the elm
Ing session as a heritage from the
first and second sessions. In all , then
are between 35,000 and 4fi,000 menu
ures before congress as It comes to i
close. The failure to enact many laws
was nut due to lack of real material.
These are Hcime of the moro ini-
portnnt measures , outside of appro-
prlntlon bills , that the Hunt session of
this session eniieted Into law ;
Piovldlng for forest reserves In the
southern Appalachian and White
mountains.
Providing for the Inspection of boil
ers on locomotives.
Providing for the purchase or erec
tion of omhiiRHlcH , legations and con
sular buildings abroad
An ocean mall bill passed the sen
ate , but the house did not manifest
enough liking for It to send It on to
the whlto house.
Darren as the dual session may I
have been of fruitful legislation , the
republican leaders point to the preced
ing .session as more fruitful.
For the first of extra session , they
point to :
The Payne-Aldrlch tariff act , with
its maximum and minimum features
and corporation tax provisions and its
customs court.
The resolution providing for an In
come tax iimendinent to the constitu
tion.

Train Robbers Many Years Ago.
In a reminiscent mood , P. H. Hayes ,
a six-striped conductor on the North
western run between Long Pine and
Chadron , told of a hold-up on his
train twenty-ono years ago , Mr.
Hayes was then a conductor on the
same run ho now holds , and one
night a young fellow about 21 years
old boarded the train as a passenger
at Wood Lake. It seems that at the
same time another young man board
ed the front end of the train , and
when nearlug Arabia the young man
in front climbed over the tender and
at the point of a revolver compelled
the engineer to stop the train.
Just as the train was slowing down
the young passenger approached the
conductor from the rear and when
the conductor turned around ho was
confronted with the business end of
a huge Colt's revolver , which kept
him quiet for a few minutes. The
boys did not seem to have a very
