What Led to This Dream?

One night lawyer sat in his Office,
troubled over case, the keystone of which
was bit of testimony locked in the breast
of certain witness, whose present place
of residence was unknown. The lawyer
had been doing good deal of work and
was worn out. He folded his arms on the
table, laid his head upon them and went
to sleep. 1t was only for moment, but IN
that moment he saw his witness standing
at the shaft of lead mine and asking for
work. That was all, and the lawyer awoke
and went on with his preparations for
trial. But that trivial dream, which he
had at first forgotten, came back again
with curious persistency, and he at last
gave it attention. That man at lead
mine-where? Somehow Joplin, Mo-, sug
gested itself to him. He concluded to
waste dollar in telegraphing, and found
in five hours time that his much wanted
witness was there, working in lead mine.
Now, what led to that dream?-Chicago

Parata, the Maori Sea Monster.

The Maories of New Zealand and the adj
Joining islands have strange belief con-
corning the cause of the ebb and flow of
the tides. These phenomena, it seems, they
attribute to huge water breathing dragon
which they call Parata, who is said to do
his work by powerful and regular respira-
tiOns, or ingurgitations and regurgitations
of water. With one tribe in Australia and
another in the Sandwich Islands it is Gus
tomary to speak of drowned person as
having fallen into the great throat of Pa
rata, superstition which proves connec-
tion between these widely separated ISL
ands at remote period of their history
The New Zealanders have myth which
tells them that their island was populated
by Parata bringing loaded canoe in his
mouth from some far away land A cum
ming priest confined in the monsters S
mouth with the others in the canoe recited
a charm, which caused the dragon to dis
gorge his load in time for those imprisoned
to safely steer to the coast of what is now
New Zealand. The words of this charm
are still preserved and recited in time of
extreme peril.-St. Louis Republic.

Why the Doctor Cried.

DR.. Hills autocratic bearing in the sick
room gave strangers no hint of the deep
sympathy which he felt for the humblest
of his patients. A gentleman entering his
office unannounced was surprised to find
the doctor with his head bowed over his
desk and sobbing convulsively. The in
truder was about to withdraw in silence
when the doctor wheeled around in his
chair, and with tears streaming down his
furrowed cheeks said:
'"Take a seat. There's no occasion for
privacy. Twas thinking of little Willie
M, who has been sick with scarlet
fever. 1t was severe case, but l had it
under control. In fact the boy was out of
danger when his aunt, moved by his en-
treaties, gave him hot doughnut to eat.
He's nearer deaths door now than he was
in the first place, and there isn't one chance
In hundred of saving him."
The gentleman was expressing regret at
this sad turn of affairs when the doctor, as
If ashamed of his unwonted display of feel
ing, exclaimed impatiently:
81 don't particularly care for the boy;
what am sorry for is that can't kill his
aunt before she has chance to murder an
other sick person with her confounded
doughnuts. Lewiston Journal

A Great Mans Courtesy.

There are several stories afoat about the
3ate Fletcher Harper which reflect great
credit upon his memory. He was one of
the most courteous gentlemen in New
York, gentlemanly by instinct, training
and intellectual purpose. When he was on
his deathbed he had much difficulty in
speaking so as to make his wants known,
but he never failed to say, "Please do this"
or "Please do that" to his nurse, who was
an experienced and kind hearted woman.
Once she said to him: "Please, Mr.. Harper,
tell me when you want anything without
attempting to say please 1 know how
difficult it is for you to speak, and it pains
me that you always use extra exertion
to say please when it is unnecessary"
There was smile on his face as he re-
sponded: 'I must always say please. 1t is
courteous, and it is my habit. Courtesy
costs so little, you know, but it makes life
pleasanter. New York Press.

The Ingenious Woman.

The ingenious woman is the happiest
woman in the world. She gets more real
comfort out of life than all the women
geniuses rolled into one ever could. The
ingenious woman is the kind of woman
who can pack more clothes in a Saratoga
trunk than the average man could get into
q furniture van. After an afternoon walk
the ingenious woman will come home with
her mind fully made up about the way she
Is going to make her dress and trim her
bonnet. She gets some ideas from what
she sees, but she improves on them.
The ingenious woman is full of re-
sources. By her own process of dyeing,
renovating and turning she has solved the
problem on how to dress we'll on compara-
lively nothing year. Her ingenuity in
s'ixing over" makes it possible for her to
antedate the fashion rather than follow
that tickle dame. One of the very best
things that can be said Of this clever wo-
man is that she never dresses conspicuous
ly. Her well balanced Judgment causes
her to look with aversion on that eccentri-
city of dress which a certain class of wo-
men affect Taste, elegance and adapta-
biIity are aimed at, but asceticism and &C.
centricity never.-New York Press.

Pretty Wicker Chairs.

There is nothing prettier in country
parlor than few pieces of rattan furni-
ture, either in natural color with cushions
of India silk or enameled in white and
gold and fitted up with striped tapestry,
cretonne or any artistic material the owner
fancies. There are two kinds of furniture
classified under the head of rattan-the
genuine rattan and the reed or wicker
The wicker chairis less expensive than the
rattan, but it is not to be despised for this
reason. 1t certainly possesses one advan-
tage over rattan-it cannot be twisted into
such preposterously ugly shapes as rattan
has been by some manufacturers. The
nature of the material prevents it being
woven with backs in the shape of japanese
fans and various other styles which are

MAN.

I was born as free as the silvery Light
That laughs In southern fountain;
Free as the sea fed bird that nests
On Scandinavian mountain;
Free as the wind that mocks at the sway
And pinioning clasp Of another
Yet in the slave they scourged today
I saw, and knew-my brother!-
Vested In purple sat apart,
But the cord that smote him bruised me;
Closed my ears, but the sob that broke
From his savage breast accused me;
No phrase of reasoning judgment just
The plant of my soul could smother,
A creature vile, abased to the dust,
Iknew him still-my brother.
And the autumn day that had smiled so fair
Seemed suddenly overcrowded;
A gloom, more dreadful than nature owns,
Ny human mind enshrouded;
Thought Of the power benign that made
And bound men one to the other,
And l felt in my brothers fear afraid,
And ashamed in the shame of my brother.
