SIGNS OF EARLY SPRING.
Bom* Bean by Prof. Von Joggleby
from Hie Study Window—
Backyard Boenea.
“T know when spring is at
sand,” said Prof, von Joggleby,
according to the New York Sun,
1*by the things I s^e in the range
of backyards in view from my
study window. ~
“In the sheltered corner of some
of these yards, where it is pro
tected from the cold winds and
where it gets not only the direct,
but from the sheltering fences,
the reflected rays of the advanc
ing season’s warmer snn, the
grass begins to grow green while
yet there may be in other parts of
the yard patches of snow and ice.
The eager grass responds to the
first call of spring.
“And so do the dwellers in the
houses to which these yards are at
tached. On that same day in some
of these yards there were people
out' raking up the winter’s debris;
the scraps and pieces of paper,
and the twigs and the sticks, left
on the ground after the melting
away of its winter covering. They
had sensed the approach of spring
and they were cleaning up; and on
the first occasion, anyway, they
were moved no doubt not so much
bv a desire for neatness and trim
ness in their several yards as by
an inward prompting to get back
to them once more; to mother
earth.
“It doesn’t matter to me what
the ground hog may say, or how
many other indications may
point, I talways know when spring
Is at hand by these two signs, by
the coming green of the tufts of
grass in the sheltered corners of
my back yard, and by the appear
ance of my neighbors at work
cleaning up.”
NOT THE ORIGINAL BOAT.
Shell Seen by Visitors at Oolumbia
Not the One in Which Her
Crew Won at Henley.
Columbia students and gradu
ates will be disappointed to learn
that the old shell hung in the uni
versity trophy room on Morning
side Heights is not the original
boat in which the Columbia crew
won the Visitors’ Challenge cup
at Henley in 1878. The shell, says
the New York Sun, occupies the
most prominent position in the
room and has been pointed out to
every visitor as the only American
boat manned by a college crew to
win at Henley.
The first doubt as to the authen
ticity of the boat was expressed
several months ago by Francis
Sedgwick Bangs, a trustee of the
university, who has always been
prominent in Columbia’s rowing
interests. Subsequent investiga
tions have shown that on the day
before the Henley crew sailed foi
America Capt. Goodwin sold the
two shells which Columbia had
taken to England to Cambridge
uuivciouj) nucic lucj nac uocu
till a very few years ago, when
they were broken np.
There is some consolation for
the Columbia men in the fact that
the oars used by her crew in this
race, which are also on view in the
trophy room, are the real ones
brought back by the crew and sub
sequently presented to the uni
versity.
The Summer Season.
When one reflects upon the
delightful weather which pre
vailed so generally in October,
says Four-Ttack News, and the
even more perfect weather in No
vember, it naturally calls forth the
query, “why do we call ‘the sum
mer season’ from July 1 to Sep
tember 1?” -it is absurd! June
and September,—even October
and often November gives us more
delightful weather than July and
August. I, for one, vote unani
mously for a longer summer sea
son, for a fuller period in which
to enjoy the beauties of nature,
for nature is so varied in her
moods, and so lavish with her
charms that she deserves more of
our attention, and the more atten
tion we bestow the more we learn
to admire her every phase and
fancy, and the more we admire
the better off we are, for every in
fluence which nature exerts is for
the good.

BRAIN ASLEEP
Wrapt la llrabtT Man Baa IMtat
Idea af Haup Thaa Wh«a
▲wake.
That a man may have a better Idea of
i the time of night when he awaken*
- from a good sleep than he would have
of the time of day, provided he were
forking unusually hard, with unusual
Intentness of purpose, Is one of the odd
fact* connected with the operation of th#
human brain, says the Chicago Trlboea
But on the other hand, If a man may
work with such intensity of purpose as
to forget the lapse of two or three hour*
of daylight, so he may sleep with a
soundness that prevents the little time
keeper of the brain from making sub
conscious note of the hour handi of th*
clock in the night. As between the two
conditions, however, it is the opinion of
Dr. O. A. King, professor of nervous dis
eases in the College of Physicians and
Surgeons, that the awakened sleeper
usually has a better Idea of the flight of
the night than the other may haveof the
flight of the day.
"Under ordinary circumstances the
person who is In normal sleep Is not
asleep," said the doctor. "That one nook
In the brain which takes cognizance of
time is alert to an extent not appreciated
by the, layman. Awakening at any time
in the night the person In good health
and condition knows pretty closely
whether it Is midnight or after, or
whether It be nearer two o’clock In the
morning than It Is to four o’clock. Many
persons have the faculty so cultivated
that they know within the quarter hours
of the exact time.
“On the other hand it is a common ex
pression with persons in all line of work
suddenly to look at the clock and ex*
press the keenest surprise that it is so
lute In the afternoon or the evening:
and occasionally one who has been work
ing to poor advantage and under dlfr
Acuities will be surprised on looking at
his watch that It is so early.
"That the brain in sleep keeps this
tally upon the time is proved by the in
fluences of anaesthetics. A person who
has been profoundly under the influence
of any drug used for the purpose will be
as utterly unconscious of the passing of
ten minutes as he will be unconscious
of the passing of an hour. He may be
forgetful of all conditions leading up to
the state of anaesthesia and for the time
being he may have forgotten the day of
the week.
“As to the time measurement In sleep,
It Is best represented In the person used
to travel and to the catching of trains In
the night. Many of these persons will be
able to awaken at an hour giving them
Just the margin needed for preparation
for the train.
"One of the peculiarities of a person’s
waking for a train, or for any such emer
gency, Is that the awakening always la
sudden. There Is none of the prelimi
nary yawning, and stretching, and slow
ly returning sense of luxurious rest and
comfort felt by the man who has slept
p full sleep. In this awakening to a
certain time the person frequently feels
that impi'ession of a sudden sound which
he knows cannot have been made or
uttered. Not infrequently he has the j
sense that some one has called'his name.
He may be almost certain that he has
heard his first name—’George?’—called
with the characteristic rising Inflection.
In almost any case his awakening is
without any premonitory symptoms. It
is with a sort of jolt that he comes into
full fledged consciousness. In such cases
as those where the sleep Is profound be
yond any consciousness of the time, tUe
dream period of sleep Is left far behind;
the sleep has approached the depth of
anaesthesia.”
One of the oddities of sleep was referred
to In which a person may lie down for
rest without intending to sleep. It may
be morning or afternoon, but thefatigue
that prompts the person to lie down
overcomes him, and, after a sound sleep,
h» nwakena without anv knowledge of
time in any sense. He does not realize
whether it is morning or afternoon;
whethei he has had luncheon, or wheth
er he may not have slept through a day
and a night, and awakened Into another
day. It Is the opinion of Dr. King that In
such a case the person experiencing the
sensations probably Is not In a normal
state of health
As an example of sleep that should be
natural and dose to the design of nature,
and of an awakening that should be
normal without the effect of an artificial
civilization crowding It, the babe which
has rested to the full and begins to
aroiise itself from slumber is an Interest
ing study. _
Chloroform for Plants.
Albert Maumene, in the Review Scl
entifique, Paris, referring to experi
ments of M. Johannsen, of the Agricul
tural school of Copenhagen, gives it as
his opinion that by the use of anes
thetics, such as ether and chloroform,
early forcing in plant development by
I present methods will all be superseded,
I since the anesthetizing process makes
possible the flowering of these plants
four or five months earlier than the or
dinary methods of forcing.

QERONIMO
i
Is the famous Apache Chief,who j
has been a prisoner of wa»” since ]
his capture by Capt. H. W. Law
ton, under General Nelson A.
Miles in 1885, and has been, since
the opening of the New Country
in 1901, a peaceful and law abid
ing citizen of Comanche county,
Oklahoma.
But the townsite which will
perpetuate his name and make
mints of money for all those who
take advantage of the chances it
affords to investors is situated on
the C. R. I. & P. railroad, ten
miles south of Lawton, near the
northeast corner of the big cat
tle reserve, which contains 3,000
fine farms or 480,000 acres, and
which will undoubtedly soon be
open to homestead entry.
Persons looking for a safe bus
iness inducement should not fail
to avail themselves of this oppor
tunity for a good investment.
The new town being fortunate
ly situated just atthe gateway of
this large tract of the choicest
farm lands in Oklahoma is bound
to profit much thereby. The fa
mous Cache Creek Valley, in
which the town is situated, has
already been styled the garden
spot of the great territory. The
large country already settled
tributary to the town, and its
distance from Competing points
will make Geronimo a good busi
ness point fi’om the start.
There will be no waiting for
railroads, as the Rock Island al
ready has a station built on the
townsite.
The Town Company is com
posed of some of the best busi
ness men in Oklahoma and they
are determined to build up a
town which will fully come up to
the requirements of the splendid
country by which it is surround
ed.
A few lots have already been
sold and business has been es
tablished thereon as follows:
There is one bank, The Citizens
Bank of Geronimo, two general
stores, a drug store, hotel, post
office and a number of dwelling
houses. The railroad company
has erected a good depot build
ing, have built a section house
and put in stock yards and man
ifested a disposition to help make
Geronimo one of the best towns
in the Southwest.

1 suffered so little pain I felt I was an exception. The child is happy and
healthy and the sunshine of my life. I had hardly any trouble after she was
bom, and after eleven days was up doing my entire housework and feeling
better than 1 had felt for years. 1 am the envy of my neighbors because of the
unusually healthy child I nave and because 1 never had a sick day myself. 1
give the entire credit to Wine of Cardui, j

count of other financial interests,
have decided to make this the
best business proposition on town

and immediately establish a
flourishing business town in
keeping with the demands of the
excellent country by which it is
