WE ALL DREAM.
And a Fortunate Thing ItsIs for Most c
 D@

And Fortunate Thing ItgIs for Most of Us That We Do.
 The young man dreams of the young girl, and the young girl dreams of the young man, says writer Tn the San Francisco Chronicle. The old maid dreams of the man who once loved her, and her imagination nils up to date the vacuum in her heart and her life. It must be awfully comfortable to dream of a husband who has been truc to you all his life. It is given to every woman to dream of husband who will be true to her; but to dream of one who has been is one of the consoling prerogatives of the old maid. l fancy the crustiest old bachelor dreams sometimes of that girl he came near proposing to twenty years ago; and he knows now she would have accepted him
 He was afraid she would then, and so he didn't ask her; but it is a consolation to re- fleet in his growing age that she most cer- talnly would have married him. But there are so few old bachelors nowadays. Divorce IS so easy that every bodS risks things and gets married. And I suppose there are men and women who dream of divorce, and fashion bright fancies of freedom to solace the suffering from the chains of matrimony. It is sad. There are not many things in the world so touching, so heroic, so grand, as a woman holding nobly to her marriage VOW and her motherhood in the face of neglect. cruelty, maltreatment on the part of hus- band. But after all a woman is never really brought out except by sufferings of herself or of those she loves. But that hasunothiny to do with dreaming. We all dream; we ali like to dream, and it is happy dispensation Of Providence that one disappointment does not prevent our dreaming again.

NOT VERY CHEERFUL,
A Tragic Leaf from the Experience of a
 Country Doctor.

A Tragic Leaf from the Experience of Q
 Country Doctor.
 A country doctors life is not overlaid with cider down nor eternally sprinkled with fresh rose leaves, s'.ys the Pittsburgh Dis patch.
 A few weeks ago Dr. Blank was sum- moned at midnight to house that stands some distance from any other, in Q rural district near this city. 4 stable hand had been kicked by horse and lay in 8 critical condition. The doctor flung on his clothes, jumped into buggy and drove as fast as he could through rain-storm over heavy roads to the house where the infurod man lay. He had never been to the house before, but he had heard of its owners predIection for savage dogs, and he was not surprised therefore when he drove up to the door to hear baying and barking in several keys within the house.
 After considerable knocking a woman came to the door and opened it about an inch to inform the doctor that he'd have to be very careful about entering for she could hardly keep back the dogs.
 The doctor is plucky man, and he re- sisted the strong desire he felt to get back into his buggy. The door was opened enough for him to slide through, and he en- tered dimly-lighted hall. In front of him were arrayed two largo mastiffs, bulldog 'AA4A SASy 6uu beIW6en nm ana them stood the woman who had let him in. She was the housekeeper, and she carried in one hand lamp and in the other a thick Cudgel.
 As he entered the hall all the dogs plunged for him simultaneously, but the housekeepcr laid about her with the club and the animals retreated, bowling savage ly. He went upstairs at once to the room where his patient lay, and the housekeeper fought with the dogs all the way up, but succeeded in protecting the doctor.
 Coming down afterward, the housekeeper had the same difficulty with the dogs, and, as the doctor sprang into the carriage, the bulldog made rush for him and planted hls teeth in the doctors trousers. The garments were luckily of cheap and poor material, and the leg which was in the dogs mouth gave way.
 The doctor was glad to get off so cheaply, and the bulldog, he thinks, was disgusted at his investment in an inferior grade of cloth.
 And the best of it is that the operation he performed at the risk of being torn to pieces by pack of hounds will never bring a cent to the doctor. The miserly owner of the dogs simply declines to pay, though the doc tor was called by his orders

The Republican Party Distrusted and the
 Civil Damages Law Denounced-Protest
 Against High License.
 BUFFALO, Sept. 5-The state convention of liquor dealers adopted the following resolutions:
 The wine liquor, and beer dealers associa- tion of the state of New York, in convention assembled on Sept 4, lSSS, indorse the policy Of regulation and condemns the policy of prohibition, general or local
 We indorse such regulations as are not in- tended to accomplish prohibition indirectly, but to climucte much of the evil result ing from the eouse of liquor as is possible to be done by law.
 Resolved, that we arc opposed to that attempt to regulate which seeks by high license to discriminate between rich and poor, or one locality against another.
 Resolved, that we are willing to pay reasonable licenso that yields such revenua to the stats as our industry can bear with justice to thoss engaged therein, but are op- posed to the effort to grind such enormous sums from one branch of business as will drive responsible men from the trade and destroy our property.
 Resolved, that character and conduct as exhibited ill the practical management oi the liquor business and determined by proof i'll court Is the only just test of restric tion
 Resolved, that we favor law which dis qualities from license i'll our state all persons who have been convicted of felony or have been confined in any prison or penitentiary.
 Resolved, that We favor license for six working days, authorizing the sale of liquor from D q. Ill. to a. nl., As may be fixed by the local authorities, which shall be granted to all persons not disqualified by the preced ing resolutions at not exceeding the present rates.
 Resolved, that all regulations of the traf- fife for hours other than above stated be left to each locality, and that each locality rec, ommenu such regulation of the night and Sunday business as the necessities of the place demand and public sentiment will sus, tain.
 Resolved, that We condemn the civil dam age act as it now stands on the statute books of this state, as i'll it's present form it is the groundwork for bIackmail by ire sponsble and unscrupulouS persons.
 Resolved, that while We hold protection to our business and property against unjust legislation as higher than party allegiance, and appeal to our fellow citizens, irrespec- tive of party, for fair treatment, we are dis truStful of the Republican party, notwith- standing the assurance it has freQuently gwen that our business will not bs seriously disturbed.
 Resolved, that we call upon all friendly associations to act with us i'll bringing be-. fore the commission for the revision of eX. else laws the views and wishes of our united wishes.
