A Hay-FOrk Agents Remarkable Dream
and What ORmO Of IL.
81 used TO travel around the country with
. patent hay-fork," said the man with q
green patch on his left eye TO New York
Sun man, as IL came his turn to tell q story
81 am not going 70 say any thing about that
patent more than that no farmer ever got
any benefit from It, What wish to bring
out Is what might be called a curious coin
cidence, and one that l have kicked myself
over q hundred times.
cit was In this way" he continued, az he
got settled back on his seat. "Farmers
have their weak spots the same as other
folks. You can hit some Of them by prais-
Ing their buildings, others by admirinR
their horses, others, again, through their
hogs or calves. / had q way Of hitting
them all, and 1t worked to my great profit
every time. When l got up IN the morning,
after staying all night with farmer, I got
on something as follows:
az had a very curious dream last night.
/ dreamed that was digging out behind
your barn, just on line with big knot
hole In the sixth board from the west end.
and unearthed q tin box containing two
thousand dollars In grsenbacks. hedream
was so vivid that almost feel the box In
my hands. There's nothing In dreams, of
course, but never had one which seemed
30 real.'
''Mind you, had taken notice Of the
knot hole the evening before. Sometimes I
fxed the place behind Q barn, and some
times near a stump, or 30 many PAGES from
q certain tree or straw stack; but it was all
settled on beforehand. II wasn't one time
In twenty that farmer would charge me
for my lodgings after giving him this
dpaaUn II hit laun VDluunh oonka- "a
were only too anxious to get me out of the
way, so they could begin digging"
"Go on" said several voices. as he made
. long pause.
"Wen, one morning, after lodging with q
farmer all night and getting his note for
fifty dollars for hay-fork, ! related the
usual dream in the usual way. This time IL
was buried treasure beneath q stump near
his barn. I saw that he was hard hit at
once, and he left me eating breakfast and
went down to dig. / was chucklinR over
his greenness when he came walking in
with tin box under his arm"
"You don't sayp
; "But do, and it was q box he had dug
out a foot or so below the surface. II was
broken open right then and there, and NAV
be drowned for yeller dog II the contents
didn't pan out t4,625 in just as good green
backs as you ever saw"
"But-but-"
''There were no butts about It, He found
the money and kept 1t, as was his right, and
no one ever came to claim it. This 81 bill
was part Of IL. He gave 1t to me as q re.
ward for my dream, and I'm keeping IL As
q relic to show what fool q man can make
OF himself. That's all, gentlemen-all ex
cept that want some of you kick me a.
soon as convenient"

abused by her parents and was finally

was found and taken to the asylum, and,
though nearly dead, was so carefully treat.

checked her growth, and she is now no
larger than a child Of seven years.
