Breast the fairy waves and find it,

Who's for Dreamand, by the ferry2

Revelers that no more are merry;
Maids whose loves were empty anguisk
Lovers that for life must langUish:
Patriots passionately choosing
All the old naughty hopes to bury;
Sculptor. painter, bard, l.. dsician-
With unreached ideals Elysian-
These for Dreamland! those for Dreamland!
Straight for Dreamland, by the ferry!
Of they push. and out they wander,
Earring tleetly toward the very
MdmOst heart of that great curly
Cloud that roseate and yet pearly
Haunts the dubious distance yonder-
Bound where ElOSsOmiIg sprays of cherry,
Apple and all sweet trees are vernal
With a springtide pomp eternal!
Ho! for Dreumland! leigh. for Dreamland!

Swallowed Fifty Knives.

There are several well authenticated
accounts Of knife swallowing, as distin-
guishcd from the sword swallowing
feats CT itinerant jugglers. In the Edin-
burGh Philosophical Journal is reported
the case Of an American sailor, John
Cummings, who swallowed at different
periods within the space Of two years
about fifty clasp knives. When he was
twcuty-three years Of age he was on
shore with some of his comrades at
Havre, where he witnessed the feats of
a conjurer who pretended to swallow
knives When he returned to his ship
he swOre that he could swallow knives
as easily as the Frenchman had, and, be-
ing challenged, took his own knife and
swallowed it. lie then offered to swal
low all the knives they would bring him,
and eventually swallowed three.
This feat he afterward performed sew
eral times, and in Boston, in 1905, he
swallowed in one evening no fewer than
fourteen knives. after which he was
taken so i'll that he had to be removed to
Charlestown hospital. He was after
warl taken by the English ship Isis for
smuggling. and on Dec. I, 1855 he swal-
lowed twelve knives, which terminated
his career after long and terrible i'll
ness. lie died in March, 1907, in ex-
irene agony, at Guys hospital.

travellers from Sir Hugh Willoughby
downward to account for, and has given
rise to as much gues3work at its eluci-

drum and working up the senses of his
spectators to a pitch of great excite
ment, mysteriously vanishes into thin
air before the eyes of all. Civilized
travellers naturally hold that it is a
trick. The Samoiedes themselves de-
clare that the power resides in the drum
idol. The peculiar thing is that neither
one party nor the other has been able to
explain how the vanishing occurs

dicatious are that when the official count
for Governor is male Mckinley will be
found TO have $4,000 or 20, 600 plurality.

publicanS surprised at the result on the
Legislative ticket. 1t now looks As il the
Republicans have elected p of the 80 mem
beers of the ) mate ard at least 20 of the l3l
members of the House. They carried all
the districts classified as doubtful, and
several of those regarded as safely Demo-
cratic. Local causes are assigned for the
loss of the Democratic districts The large
Republican ma )rity will adj interest to
the contest over the choice of successor to
Senator Sherman. Fnraker'S friends, who
worked earnestly for their fIvOrire duTing
the prCgress of the campaign which ter
minated yesterday, are already preparing
their lines for the battle in January, and
are claiming hat majority OF the R"pub-
liCaus elected to the Legislature ara for
the ex Governor. The IS members from
Hamilton are known to be for him, and the
Sherman men cOncede that the SC ttteriuT
votes he will receive will hripL his strengt Il
to about %. It Will probably require -
votes to control the Republican .ucus, and
the Sherman men say they have 10 fear of
the ex Governor corr. ling that number.
The sentiment of rhs people of Olio is
largely IiNOEdDlt To tue re election bl JONI
Sherman, and this sentiment Is likely to
be felt in Columbus next January. Foraker
however, has arga following among the
younger element of his party, and will be
supported by many of the newsl apers
throughout the State. | was informed that
one feature Of the Foraker campaign will
be TO secure the support of at least one
newspaper in each county, and have these
papers shortly before she Legislature meets
open their batteries for Foraker, and main
tam their firing until a Senator is chosen ..
The purpose of this movement is to convey
the impression that Foraker has supplanted
Sherman AZ the tavOrite son. Tue DiSpat"b
of this city says hat Foraker has within I
few votes Of having two thirds of the r.
publican members elect, y statement which
is rdicued by the adherents of Sherlrn.
