The editor had worked off the Egyp- tian chestnut of the philosopher who ac. cidentally tipped over a small water bot- tle just as he dropped asleep and after dreaming a 48 column dream awoke to find the water not yet all run out. I had told my famous story of the man who was overcome by slumber jusi as the *clock was striking midnight, dreamed a long, complicated dream that took him half of next day to tell to his junior clerk, who couldn't get away, and awoke to hear the last three of the 12 strokes. Cooper had sat silently listening, but now he braced himself up manfully, and, with a look of desperate resolve, he be- gan: "I had an even more wonderful expe- rience than those you have been relating, gentlemen, myself. I had been out inter- viewing strikers, and when I got into the office ,and handed in say last bit of copy I was dead beat out. I dropped into this chair and was asleep before I struck the cushion. "I straightway began to dream. I lived a whole lifetime, from a little babe to old age. Every step of my education, every difficult lesson, was reviewed in detail, even to intricate geometrical problems. I fell in love, courted and Married three different girls, committed a murder, lived through every incident of a long trial and served a sentence of 20 years, every day of which was distinet and full of minute incidents of prison life.. "I sailed on a three years' voyage round the world and in the last month ot the last year was wrecked on a desert island, captured by cannibals, nearly crushed by a boa constrictor, rescued by the Russians only to be sentenced to Si- beria, from which I escaped and wander- ed through the arctic regions for months, did splendid work as a reporter on a morning newspaper for several years, and the editor was just going to make me his assistant when T suddenly awoke. "Some one had placed a pin in that chair, and I had dreamed that entire dream between the instant when I start- ed to sit down and when I struck that And the, editor and I arose, put on our coats in beaten silence and went home to bed. -Stray Stories. A QUEER DREAM. It-Seenaed to Be Fulfilled at San Juan Weeks Later, They were talking of dreams, when the volunteer who was shot through the hip at San Juan spoke up. "Itis strange," said he, "how the real and the unreal are sometimes connected in dreams. :I had an experience down at Tampa while we were -waiting for orders to go to Cuba whichwas remarkable in its way. One night after trying for sev- eral hours to get to sleep in my tent I went outside to see if there were a breath of fresh air to be had. Near the. tent there was a rough bench, which had been built by some of the boys to serve as a table for. 'card playing.. It was about three feet from the ground and was knit wide enough for a man to lie down on. "I walked over to the -bench and, stretching out on it, was soon fast asleep. 1 dreamed that I was standing in a Span- ish camp, surrounded by hundreds of ex- cited Spaniards, who were insisting that I be shot at once for a spy. I was per- fectly cool and had a supreme indiffer-. ence about my fate. They took me over to a stake driven in the ground and tied me up to it.- Then they wheeled up an enormous cannon to within 50 feet of -where 'I stoOd and aimed It straight at me. I Saw the gunner seize the lanyard and look around at the officer in charge for the command to fire. Then I closed my eyes. The next mompnt- there was a tremedous roar. "The cannon ball struck me squarely on the side of the right hip, and I flew up in the air. I. woke to fled myeelf oz the ground, where I had rolled from the bench. There was a sharp pain in my right hip, and, looking out into the open space beyond the tents, I saw that the morning gun had just been fired. The smoke was still hanging over the cannon. The pain in my hip was caused by its coming in contact with a stake driven' in the ground near the bench. "Several weeks later at San Juan I got a bullet in my right hip where the can- _ non ball of the dream struck and •directly -in the center bf the bruise left by my forcible contact with the stake when I rolled off the bench." -Washington Star. Queer Canoe of Jilt: A well known novelist was once jilted by a girl who took exception to the in- , adequate punishment meted out to one of his fictitious villains. She declared that, as he regarded vice with so lenient an -eye, he must himself be at heart a reprobate and uffworthy of true love and that she mist request that their ac- quaintance should cease. An eminent lawyer in his younger days met with a similar- miShap. The lady to whom he was engaged, chancing to hear that he had delivered a most skillful, though futile, speech . in defense of an arrant rogue, wrote, saying that she must decline to know one who could thus strive to speciously excuse crime. In re- turn he pleaded the exigencies of the pro- fession, but in vain. The lady was obdu- rate and soon afterward, by the. strange irony of fate, married a man who was ultimately convicted • of gross fraud, mainly through the forensic eloquence of. her former lover. -Boston Traveler. Coward and Hero. A. man performed a heroic act, saving a child's life at the imminent -risk of los- ing his 0 -we. Then, while the populace thronged about him to applaud and re- ward him, he turned pale and fled in ab- ject terror atsight of a policeman! The memory. of some past misdemeanor and the fear that it had been discovered and would be visited upon him made a moral coward of a physical hero. Yiet the incident none the less showed tit4t even a guilty life may be capable of go‘d and noble deeds. -Youth's Compan- ion. Her Chance.

'1 Why His Efforts to Calm the Passen. gers Were Unappreciated. "Some funny situations occasionally arise from sudden cases of real or ap- parent danger," remarked a much trav- eled Philadelphian one clay recently, "an illustration of which fad came under my observation on a crowded steamboat. The time was night, and some big excursion party was on board. All at once the boat began to careen from side to side in a way that alarmed even me, accustomed as I was to queer antics of water craft, but because of the many woilien and children on board I kept my alarm to myself. " "It wasn't So with others who noticed the boat's rocking, however, and pretty soon everybody was frantically fastening on life preservers. I mean everybody Who could get them, for the boat was equipped with only about half enough to go around. Then there followed a scene of the wildest confusion. Women were crying and shrieking. Some of them were on their knees praying. In the midst of it all the captain appeared. Coming up to a little.group of which I was one, and the members of which were outwardly calm, he assured us that there was really no danger and asked us if_ we would- quietly mingle with the people and endeavor to restore quiet. Of course we consented. But that wasn't the funny part. Stand- ing near enough to overhear our conver- sation was an excited individual of mid- dle age. When we started on our mis- sionary work, he thought it his duty to help,sand half a minute later he was hard at work in tlie cabin telling the women to stop their crying, for -the boat was all right. He didn't seem to have much suc- cess, however, and I wondered at it until I saw him stop in front of a grim visaged, middle aged woman who had been una- ble to get hold of a life preserver. "'Be cairn, madam, be calm,' he ex- claimed, 'there is no danger whatever, and the boat will get to shore all right.' "The woman looted the fellow over scornfully. " '11 you are so Blue of that,' she re- torted, `then give me one of those two life preservers you are hanging on to so "Sure enough, although 1 hadn't no- tieed it before, the man had been carry- ing a life preserver in each hand in addi- tion to the one he wore. around his waist all the time he- was energetically assur- ing the weephsg women that there was no danger. The.thing was so absurd that I and two or three others who took It all in burst out laughing, which had as much to do with restoring quiet as anything else. Half an hour later the boat landed right side up with care, and we saw no. more of the man with the three life pre- servers." Gets His Papers Cheap. There was a slender crovfd rippling over the shallows at LaSalle -street r.nd Jackson boulevard, and with it came a stout but comfortable appearing man, He gave every evidence of having been at work all day, though the labor of It had not been too heavy, for he was by no means drooping and exhausted. When he reacher the keep the streets clean box at the corner, he gently pushed,' aside a citizen who was standing th'ere chatting to a friend on the state of the market, shoved the drop door of the box out of the way and looked in. Then he thruet in his hand and pulled out an evening paper. He looked at it, found it was the last edition, reached in and got another, of different name, rejected several that were duplicates or of too early an issue to please him, folded the two neatly and proceeded on his walk. "That's the way to make money," said one of the citizens. "Never pay for ay - thing." That sort of custom Is what makes the newspaper business so good in Chicago. -Chicago Post. Looking For Her Boy'. Every morning, storm or calm, Sundays; end holidays, year in and year out, an, old, stooped, black gowned figure of a woman •sets out from her home neat the navy yard gate and walks all the way to Georgetown. After prowling around aim- lessly there for an hour or se, she takes a. eat' and returns to her home. The old woman is weekminded. She was widow- ed about 10 years ago, and two weeks. after her husband died her only son, a young man of 23 or thereabout, was drowned -while swimming in the Eastern , Breech. The old woman has never been convinced that her Son was really drown- ed, and she makes the daily trip from the, navy yard gate to Georgetown with the ever present expectnt ion of coming access the boy. Mission of Pain. Although looked upon as an evil, pain is kind. It tells that the laws of nature have been violated and warns us to cor- rect the cause. If it were not for pain we would go OD doing things that would de- stroy us. Pain is ii warning that some- thing is wrong, and instead of trying to hush the pain with some drug we should seek to remove the cause. -Advent Re- vieW4 Wouldn't Run the Risk.. A certain Nauvoo lady assured her hus- band that she never told him a lie and never would. Ile told her that he did not doubt it, but would hereafter cut a notch in the piano when he knew she deceived him. "No, you won't," she screamed. "I'm not going to have my piano ruined.", -Nauvoo Rustler. Hope is a flatterer, but the most up- right of all parasites, for she frequents the poor man's hut as well as the palace of his superiors.-Shenstone.

He was born in Hesse Darmstadt, Germany, and came to Canada in 1857, liv- ing in Stratford two years. Upon the _death of Ins wife he moved to the farm on which he died. He was always an indus- trious man and a devout member of the Lutheran church. He leaves behind him four sons and two daughters. -.1111111111=1111111141 HE WAS UNRELIAlEil. Why the Minister Looked With Sam. picion Upon Hiram Snyder. , The author of "Little J4rdeys to the Homes of American State -Smell'? tells a story of the civil war, where the days dragged gloomily in anticipatiqu of news from the front and when peg was like- ly to overtake any who had.hpys in the ranks. He.says: One night the postmaster wits reading aloud the names of the killed at- Gettys- burg, and he ran down to the hame of a youth we knew. The boyls father sat there on a nail keg, chewing a straw. The postmaster, for his se.ke; tried to shale over the name and 'hurry on to the next. "Hi!" said the father, i'Wha-what's that you said?" There was nothing to do but face the issue, and the postmaster repented with a Weed calmness: 1 I "Killed -Snyder, Hiram"; ' The boy's father stood upl with a jerk. Then he sat down. Then he stood up again, staggered to the doter and fum- bled for the latch like a blind man: "God help him!" said the postmaster, wiping his eyes with his red handker- chief. "He's gone to tell the old wom- an.' - 1- - The minister preached a funeral ser- mon for the boy, and on the little pyra- mid that marked the family lot in the burying ground they carvedthe inscrip- tion: f`Killed in honorable battle, Hiram Snyder, aged 19." Not long afterward strange, yellow bearded men in faded blue began to ar- rive. Great welcomes were given them, and many a big gathering. was held In their honor. At one such 1 gathering a ghost appeared -a lank, saffron ghost, ragged as a scarecrow, wearing -the cape of a cavalryman's overcoat, ,with no coat beneath. The apparition was a youth of about 20, with a downy beard all 'over his face and a countenance well mello-wed with coal soot, as he had ridden iseveral days on the top of a freight car asnar the en- gine. The ghost was Hiram Snyder. We forgave him the shock 01 surprise he had caused us -all excePt the minis- ter who had preached his ; funeral ser- mon. Years afterward I heard the 'Min- ister remark in a solemn aid aggriorted tone: "Hiram Snyder is a man; who cannot be relied upon." , HOW MEDICINE HAT wAs NAMED. I Queer Appellation of the Champion Cold Weather ToWn. ! "Yes, sir I can tell you him onr town i s eanie t -o get ita Queer name,' t said George W.,North of Medicine Hat. "Peer Lo is responsible for the name.- liONV,; the In- diau is the most superstitious chap alive. Nobody believes in luck half so Much as lie does. 'Good medicine' iwithi him is anything that brings him gdod hick, and 'mid medicine' is just the reterse, Every Nun that amounts to anythinghas his 'medicine.' It's his 'lucky Penny,' so to speak, and he depends upon it largely for good luck. Often he carries it in a little . buckskin bag around his neck, and just as like as not he won't tell ;you for love or money what it is. Again he will make a fuss over it and insist on etting every- body know all about it. I know one buck whose 'good medicine' waskhe top of a tomato can which he wore on his breast. I "Well, to get back to ledicine Hat, , there was a famous Blackf ot chief .who lived somewhere around in that !part of the country. He divided his time between hunting and making war oh the Crees. This chief's 'good medicine' was a most gorgeous headdress of feathers. lle call- ed it his medicine hat, and it Was the luckiest 'good tuedieme' in aI1 the region around.
