The champion sleeper of Kansas City has been found the man of whom Dickens' fat boy in Pickwick is a faithful prototype. He works for a well known doctor on the east side, not far out, and his name is Bill. He is black. Bill was engaged one day recently to look after the doctor's horses in the stable in the rear of the house, to mind the 'phone in the office near the stable, and to do chores about the house. His first stunt was to go out and harness up, and to this work he was sent about 9 o'clock. Three-quarters of an hour later the doctor, thinking it strange that his hoise was not ready, went forth to learn. He found a small crowd collected about his barn lot, and saw Bill, his arms folded, peacefully sleeping, leaning up against the fence, while the ribald throng laughed at him. He apologized when awakened and promised to hurry. He was found, fifteen minutes later, sleeping with his arm about the buggy wheel in the barn. Then the doctor stood over him while he hitched. On his return the doctor found Bill again asleep in the barn lot, which he had been raking. He was propped up on the end of a rake handle and snoring. A kick on the handle woke him, and he managed to get the horse unhitched without further slumber. Bill was called into the house to help clean up. He was set to rubbing the balustrade about the stairs, and a few minutes later he was sleeping peacefully, leaning thereon. He was awakened and sent to the attic to get some brooms. In ten minutes, when he was sought by the doctor's wife, he was asleep in an open window three stories from the ground, lie went to sleep once more before he could be got out of the house, this time standing bolt upright, with his hat in his hand. That evening he was required to get rhe carriage and team ready for a drive. Twice he slumbered in doing so. On the drive the doctor told his guests that the man would be snoring when they re turned. At 10:30 o'clock they drove up to the doctor's house, and there was Bill on the sidewalk, wide awake, waiting for the rig. The doctor nearly dropped dead when he saw him. "There is something wrong with the negro," said the doctor. "It is a dis ease." The convenient popular edition of the Lewis and Clark Journals, which Messrs. A. S. Barnes & Company, are publish, ing, will be ready next week in time to be available for those who are seeking standard holiday books of permanent value. A handsomely printed holiday Bul letin has just come from the press of Houghton, Mifflin and Co., Boston, and will be sent by them to all booklovers for the asking. It contains a descriptive illustrated list of all their recent publi-tions. THE HOIiliY ijiji. PINEHURST, N.
