A DREAM.
FEo,g TBs JArASEsE-

Iwaited ror my darling, all through the sumnie
noon;
The crlmson fame Of sunset came, anu then TIT
silver moon;
And bearing not in silence deep, bird or blossom
stir.
I laid me down and slnmbered, that I might drear
OF her.
In sweet and simple beauty, with blush the breeze
gave,
As 1.-The as willow beniing beside the whipping
wave,
She rises mid sleeps darkness like s.ar through
mist that shines,
Or fairy flower, in braehing bower among the for
ost pines,
The spring is laughing from her lip, the summer
warns her breast.
Upon her head the darkling skies OF cloudy aG-
tumn rest,
while winter takes her tiny hand and-cOveTs It
with snow,
Yet warm and son It's tender tOueh' my happy
pulses glow.
Alas, The JOY is falling, the lovely face gTows
dim.
The vision bright, the rosy light, in mingiing
shadows swim,
But DER me bend delicious siniles, anI eyes with
love that beam;
Her own bright self has broken tie image In the
dream,

I.earihfainess OF the Jewish Race.

\ contemporary states that accord-
ing 70 statistic gathered IN France,
Algeria and Prussia, the Jewish race
(. is remarkable for longeyity and i'm
muity from disease. Its mean aver
age duration Of life exceeds that Of
Christian races BY about fve wears.
This tenacity Of life il due to the in
heritence Of a round physical eOnsti-
tuition and the watcbful care Of the
mother over her offspring" These
two causes insure the jews compara-
tive security from the maladies that
decimate other races. Tascbadi
states that the plague Of 1916 did
not affect the Jews Of any country.
Frasczti asserts that they complete

The Indianapolis Journal Of the
18th says: The workmen employed
TO remodel Y. NJ c. A. Hall have
made many strange discoveries with
in the last few days The building,
once known throughout all the sec
ton Of the country as the "Ex-
change" was built, it will be remem-
bered, in flush war times by Charles
w. Hall, an intimate friend Of Gov
ernor Hendricks. The whole interi-
or was designed exclusively for the
accommodation of the gambling pro-
fession, and every appliance and
modern Improvement that would be
of service 10 short-card manipulators
was put in. The ground floor was
used as q livery stable, and the sec
ond floor was set apart for general
gambling purposes. The rooms on
this floor were free to all, and were
frequented by the caHGiile who in
dulge in games Of chance prOmiscu-
ously, without stopping to pick their
company. The large room in the
rear Of the Y. NJ. c. 4. reading room
could only be entered from the roof
at the back part of the building, and
was intended mainly as a place o
.concealment in the event Of police
raids. This apartment viii hereaf-
ter be used as a chapel In tearing
out partitions, ripping up floors and
knocking of sections Of plsstering in
the suits of smaller rooms in the
third story, behind the large hall, the
workmen have discovered a bewil-
dering network Of wires. speaking
tubes, etc, connecting with each
room, and rendering communication
with every nook and Granny perfect
ly easy. These upper rooms were
used for select sporting parties aud
placed at the disposal Of dishonest
gamblers, who, by means Of signal
wires under their feet, could keep
themselves informed Of the strength
of each others hands and the rela-
tive value Of the cards held by the
unsuspectiog victim. When an out
slider sat down to a quiet little game
at one Of these tables be was deliber-
ately robbed Of his money in this
manner. The contemplation Of these
eunningly-contrived devices is an in-
teresting study to those unacquaint-
ed with the secrets Of gambling, and
could furnish food for much whole
some rejection on the part Of those
who may have been enamOred with
the innocent delights Of some Of the
apparently square games conducted
on the recognized principles illustra-
ted sy the above described devices.
Through the Christianizi8g inhu-
ence Of the Y. NJ. c. a, the entire
bird floor is being rapidly converted
into bathing rooms aud gymnasium,
the latter to occupy the lecture ball.
About $4,000 will be expended in
this direction, and subscribers TO the
enterpsise will be enabled TO reap the
advantages appsrtainiDg thereto after
the lst of July, when the improve
ments will be completed, and every
thing in readiness for service
