poor child really needs It"
Young Dr. Illpley waa busy nailing
some bulky wooden packages together.
He stopped auddculy and aucked a fin
ger which b bad macerated wltb toe

"Nnne," be replied, "I don't see how
we can. I've got Just exactly enough
to pay our fare down to Lrongwood,
our new town, and the medicine cost
money even to a doctor. She'll bav to
stand it tb best sus can for th pres
ent"
There waa wild commotion In the
back room, and the' young mother
sprang to the rescue. In five minutes
she returned with tb child. "It's Juat
dreadful, upward," aha repeated.
Howard atopped again and glanced
at the little girl with a professional
air. "I don't know, Nance," be re
turned, "but tbat I can do eometblng
for her after alL I've got a little spare
change. Ill go down to the grocer
and com right back."
Wben he returned, be went down
sin Irs, aud, with the aid of a aancer
and a discarded spoon, be mixed some
mysterious ingredients together.
.. "Here, now," ho exclaimed, appear
ing on Ui landing, "yon rub ber on th
outside wltb this and give ber some In
ternally too. It may do tome good."
The mother and the child retired to
the back room. Dr. Ripley welted. Fi
nally tboy came out

want some more. It tastes like sugar."
The neat day they bad Installed
themselves In their new but dingy lit
tle borne in an obscure street in Long-
wood. The young physician at once
bung out bla sign and then atarted to
put things to rights.
"Do yon know, Howard." aald Mra.
Ripley, "I believe that ituff you made
for Marion really did her aome good
after aUT Wbat waa It? She hasn't
been nearly so bad aa ahe waa."
Dr. Ripley atralgbtened np. "Let me
take a look at her. I haven't had time
to notice her much, I've been so busy."
The youngster waa produced. . The
young physician looked at her crit
ically.
"She doea aeem better," be admitted;
"ahe certainly does."
"And what did yon give her?" in
quired his young wife. , v
Dr. Ripley leaned bl bead on bla
band and thought He bad a andden
Idea. lie gased not at bla wife, but
beyond her. He waa looking Into the
future. Ills wife Joggled bla elbow,
"What was Itr ah repeated.
"Oh," he returned, "tbat atuffl Why,
that waa yea, tbat waa the the Balm
of s Thousand Flowers; that'a all And
It'a a good thing after alL"
"Balm of a Thousand Flowers!" ex
claimed Mrs. Ripley. "I never beard
of itr
"Neither did I," returned the doctor,
"until now. But that' wbat It waa,
nevertheless. And It'a a good thing,"
be added half to himself, "and I'll try
It on.".
Tb next day be scoured the printer'
office and finally got on to extend
him credit, and a night or two later be
waa mysteriously absent from bla
home. :.
Tbe day after the town, email aa It

Whooping cough Is no respecter of per

At first they took it as a Joke, es
cept those mother who knew really

But In a few more day all Long-wood

then Longwood aa one man (ought for
a remedy. . .

"A new remedy and a good one and
very cbeap. We caa recommend It
I can, for my little boy" and to on.
Tbe town bought Ripley's remedy.
Tbe supply became exhausted. Dr.
Ripley bad to hire help. He became
famous. From selling bis remedy be
became tbe crack whooping congb doc

"Tbe Balm of a Thousand Flower!"
wa tb cry. Everybody bought It,
ana in rne airecx eeqnence or cause

tbe remody. So young Dr. Ripley pro
ceeded to buy a horse and buggy and
then a sew bouse, and around tbe
house was s flower bed, and In tbe
flower bed were planted at least a
thousand flowers.
Nance," be aald one day, It's funnr.
but, do you know. In the next town
there's not s sign of whooping cough.
Strange, Isn't It By tbe way, bow do
you think Marlon Is coming onT
'Beautifully!" exclaimed his wife.
"But she coughs ss yet"
"Nance," went on tbe doctor, "I've
got some relatives in tbe next town.
Wouldn't you like to take Marlon and
go .over there and make a visit? It'll
be a change for yon, and perhaps ber
cougn will get better there."
Mr. Ripley smiled significantly. 1

It's not a name," replied tbe doctor,

"How could it be J" she protested
doubtfully,

Ripley to himself, "I am aura that It

. But there waa a trifling error In hla
reckoning. , u .
Tbat error wa due to the Inaignlfi-
cant fact that In Longwood at present
there waa not a alngl case of croup or
whooping cough except that of his
small daughter. Dr. Ripley sat for a
few mtnutea and thought about It
"Nance," he said after awhile, "'if

Howard shook hie head. "Full of

Grass Tbat "Ttre."
In aome parta of New Mexico there
grow a grass which produce a om
niferous effect on the animals that
grate upon it Horses, after eating tbe
grass. In nearly all case sleep stand
ing, while cows nd abeep almost In
variably lie down. .
It baa occasionally happened that
travelers have stopped to allow horses
to reea in places where the grass
grows pretty thickly and the animals
have bad time to eat a considerable
quantity before Its effects manifeated
themselves.
In such cases horses hare gone to
sleep on the road and It la bard to
arouse them. Tbe effect of the grass
paaaea off In an hour or two, and no
bad results have ever been noticed on

It waa lu the days of rbllln the fiood.

mounted a royal throue. Aa the duke
was traveling one night to Bruges he
came upou a man stretched upon the
ground souud asleep, and bade his at
tendants carry blm to the palace, .atrip
off hla raga and place him, robed in
One linen, in hla own bed.
When the man a Woke next morning
he waa addressed a "your highness1
and astounded to find himself among
sucn rich surroundings. In vain he
protested that be was no prince, but
a poor cobbler: the; asked him what
clothing he would wear, and at laat
cotiductod him, splendidly dressed, to
mass In tho ducal chapel. Every cere
mony was observed throughout the
day, the cobbler appeared In public In
his new role, waa received on all aides,
by command of the duke, with deep re
apect, and ended hla brief reign In the
palace with a grand supper and ball.
When presently he fell asleep he waa
reclotbed in hla rags and taken to tb
spot where he had been found when
this practical Joke waa conceived.
Waking In due time: he returned bonis

There Is sn exctualv club in upper
Jfew Tork where the employees are for
bidden from awakening any member
Who dropa asleep in his chair In the li
brary or sitting room. If a visitor in
quires for him be U "out" Other mem
bers, If they see him, carry on their
conversation In Jew tones or go to the
smoking room or cafe. Very few new
members are admitted to tbe club, but
those wbe are fortunate enough to get
ia or those who bring visitors sre re

A physician who belongs to the club
explained the reason of it "It Is

Into a natural deep. How do you
know bnt It la tbe first time be baa
been able to sleep for hours or even
daya? Thla phenomenon of sleep is s
very complicated one. There are many
grade of sleep, and they affect differ
ent men to different ways. Dreams
sre tbe result of defective or partial
sleep, and their common occurrence
in the lighter varieties of tbe state
shows tbat tbe rest taken by moat per
son Is not profound or continuous
even while It tests.
"Don't you know tbat scores of per
sons In New Tork take s long trolley
ride In the evening simply to produce
a feeling of sleepiness? If 1 man looks
straight ahead of blm or read a news
paper bis ride will do him little good.
He might as well remain at home on
his front stoop. Bnt if he looks about
blm, constantly shifting bis gaze from
one scene to snotner, be, gets into a
state of drowsiness such ss is brought
SDout by artificial means wben it is
called hypnotism. . That Is wby so
many men feel like doling in tbe club
after they come in from a ride or a
drive in tbe park.
Bleep Induced by overeating Is not
natural. That brought about by stimu
lants is nothing bnt Wood poisoning
and stupor. It may be desirable and
even necessary in aome cases to pro
duce this stupor. But tbe state into
which tbe brain is thrown Is not sleep.
If natural sleep follows, it is a con
tingency and not tbe effect of the
stimulant But I waa going to tell
you a atory, not deliver a medical lec

remember the tragedy. ,

to give way. Physicians tried all the
usual meana of overcoming the dlffl-1
culty, but failed. He was prescribed
sleeping drafts until it became dan
gerous to continne them longer.
Then he went to Europe, taking a
competent young physician of my ac
quaintance as companion. Specialists
abroad prescribed walking and moun
tain climbing, but they discovered that
there ia nothing to be gained by In-
creasing the fatigue of the body when
worry of mind will not allow the re
pose to which the Umba are entitled.
The man came home little the better
for hla trip. He retired from business.
Hla strength wasted away. - -
Finally by one of those curious
freaks of nature we occasionally
caught him dosing at the club. All
who knew hi misfortune sympathised
with him. We moved about aa though
in a sick chamber nntil he awoke. He
seldom slept more than twenty min
utes and told us that his restlessness
at night continued. One afternoon he
came in positively drowsy. To a friend
be said: .
1 feel as though I could aleep for A
week, but I can't aleep in jay own
home no. Find me a bed here.-. .
"We got him Qpstairs to a room and
put a man on guard at, the door, with
Instructions to see that no servant was
allowed to disturb him or make a not.
An hour or so afterward an accident
In the kitchen brought the fire engines
up to the door. There wa really no'
danger, but before a ladder, could be
raised poor Blanks body cams tum

"He waa kKied. Suicide? No. , It
waa the opinion of ail of us that and
den awakening from the first sound
sleep he had enjoyed for more than a
year upset his mind and that when be
waa awakened by the noise he did not
realise where he was. In a frensy he
leaped frqm tbe window." New Tork
