own roads and make them at reasonable

in favor Of at least partial cash system.

An Omen Which Failed.

4 story which has a significance
for every intelligent render comes to,
to us from Switzerland, says the
Youths Companion. A young me-
chanic named Favre, who lived at
Nenchatel, gradually became dissi-,
pnted in his habits and deserted his
wife and child. After he had been
gone for two years his wife, who
loved him tenderly, dreamed one
night that she heard him call her.
She rose and went to the window!
from whence she saw him, she be-
lieved, standing in the moonlight on
the street, The figure vanished as
ehe looked at it. The good people
of Neuchatel assured her that this.
appearance had been mndo at the.
instant of his death. When, there.
fore, n month later, she heard that
q man, answering in description to
N. Favre, had been killed on the
night Of her dream by u passing

that he had come to bid her n last

the superstitious laborers left her

The whole family went into mourn

the town, announcing that he had
