fervor of passionate devotion, he hugs
his sister with manly and respectful
and earnest affection, he hugs his wife
with the deepest, strongest and purest
love of his manhood, but when he hugs

1t may be highly important for this
country to know that an editor in Lon
don has been expelled from the Beef
steak Club, but we fear the agent of
the cable on this side of the ocean is
not keeping the British public posted
in all the news happenings in this coun-
try. There was an editor expelled from
a Hash House in Philadelphia a few
days ago for not maintaining proper
financial standing in the club, and if
the American cable agent hasn't sent
several dispatches to the London press
about it he has been very derelict in his
duty, and should be superseded by some
fellow little more enterprising. We
must get even with those Londoners
somehow. -NorrfStot0a Herald.
Mr.. Cameron dreamed when he
was boy that he would be massasred
by Indians at the age of forty.seven.
He was at ranch near Brule City,
Dakota, when his forty-seventh birth
day arrived. The place was alive with
friendly Indians; but he recollected his
dream, and their presence made him
excessively nervous. He went to bed
in trepidation, and to his horror the
room was exactly like the one of his
dream. He fell asleep, and promptly
dreamed that the Indians were scalp
ing him. He bounded from the bed,
leaped from a window and fed, tempo
rarily insane. In the morning he was
missed, and large party of white men
and Indians went in search of him. 1t
was three days before they found him.
