 Nothing succeeds like success ex-
 cept failure, observes the Atlanta

 New York has discovered that po-
 licemen left for a long time on one
 beat lose Interest and are more sub-
 Jected to Influences peculiar to that
 Section of the city.

 At a rcotlvention f the, I'ar nit' Na-

IMportant itdremst upon asliep, relates
the New Yiork Hun. lie r ihl that their
bours of sleep allowed the younger
boys In thi' great schools were far
too short. Eight hours was the mini-
mum for adult l, atnd from nine and a
half to ten hcmils shmoals be allowed
to boys. A carefulI ludy of the c'hool-
boys In after life iimtgcstled that short.
age nla sleep at schootI was tlhe tiue
explanation of the dliappearanee, in
Iater life of the most brilliant boys at
pCbool. Many eminent men had ad.
fitted that the habit of disregarding
leeop at school had resulted In ln-
Somala and even worse dieturbatcems
of the nervous system. Dr. Arland
advocated the abolition of chapel aad

r'turneld- I expect she had been wall
Ing aasti-lde all the' time --and with
strIct Injijnctolltn "not to forget the
party next VWednesdlay." my little
visitor kissed me unool-by. and I tried
to settle ilown to work again.
 Blist a pair of blue eyes would keep
dancing In front of me on my blolt-
tinl pad. Sometimes I thought they
S twere Kathleevn' and sometimes I


 Kathlem'o eae i m her Aunt Me-
 va's were struagely alike. I had
 noticed It before.
 The room seemed quite cheerless
 now that she had gone.
 In the Intervealag days the pot-
 man left strange notes for me.
 Sometimes the missives were stuck
 together with jujubes, but I had no
 diMculty In deciphering the signs.
 They read: "Don't forget the party
 next We'n'sday." As to the crosses
 --well, the most Ignorant person
 knows what those mean in a letter.
 "We'n'sday" came at last, and of
 course I went to the party. It was
 a great success. The house was
 turned upside down by a merry crowd
 of little folks who kept the fun going
 until long after they ought to have
 been In bed.
 Kathleen quteened It all very pret-
 tily, and after the last little guest bad
 de-parted and the blue eyes could
 i irarrcly keep open, she p-rsisted that
 jht- wasn't a little hit ir-od, "on'y
 hungry." That was a iahterfuige she
 wam alwayH guilty of at bhe(time.
 Next day I saw Kalhlcern In the
 park and we discussed the party.
 "You were a funny man.' she said.
 I was glad to know that I had glv-
 rin oatlJhftetion In this direction.
 "'' d you Ilarn all those s torlem
 from lpitmh-r hooks, or were they just
