There are queer. stories told outside

There are queer stories told outside
of works of, fiction. Here is one.
The daughter. Of the late Harvey Jewell
some weeks ago dreamed that she saw
an undertaken drive up to her residence
with a hearse. He was a peculiar
looking man. His queerly shaped nose
which looked as if it had been broken
aud twisted to one side, gave his coun-
tenance very odd expression. He came
directly toward her, and he said care
you ready? when she suddenly awoke.
Within week the dream was repeated,
even to the words care you ready ~
While visiting Cincinnati some days
afterward she went to hotel to call
upon friend, and stepping into an
elevator, was startled to hear the man
in charge say, care you ready" She
was greatly agitated when, turning to
look at him, ,she beheld the exact coun-
terpart Of the man in her dream. She
requested to be let out of the elevator
at the first landing. She stepped, out
and the man remained. The elevator
machinery gave out suddenly, the car
went up, and then down, and the man
was killed.

several young men not to bathe in the
Mohawk and Schenectady on Sunday
but they disregarded him. Van Voust
then carried off an armful of their

party found a headiess barrel, into
which he stepped, and thus made his
way home while the dogs of the town

drops the door, and he don't come

The stairway led to a well. carpeted

dainty, white hands, the lett badly
erupted with diamonds; and keen,

of the table continually. This was the

At the right hand of the dealer, and

This individual Is very large In the

his face, though full and round, is sal
