Death Caused by Big Word.

From st. Louis Dispatch
Henry Shelton was pretty we'll known among
the young men Of Olive street who take rides
with drivers out for a spin through the park
Yesterday he got on the seat of furniture van
with the driver, a friend named Jack. Jack
drove for a warehouse ON Olive street. whose
owner has read Dickens and calls it the Pan
technicon.
"How do you pronounce the name OF that
warehouse Of yours?" asked Shelton
1.-THE Pantechnicon," said Jack.
Shelton made an effort to repeat the word,
gasped and fell sideways off the seat. Jack
caught him by the coat with one hand, stopped
the horses and let Shelton down to the street.
Then jumping down after after him he found
that Shelton was dead. A blood vessel In his
heart had been ruptured. The doctors say it
was caused by the effort to pronounce the
word.

Prof. Skeat, writing with all the

In the dim realm wandered through,
The shadow land OF sleep,
Came many souls of lovers true,
A tryst unknown to keep.
There came the God of Dreams to rule
His phantom king dom DER
And roses white and wonderful,
And ghostly lilies bore.
And as I wandered, loneliest
The spirits free among,
Unto all those whose love WAS blest
The fairest flowers he flung.
Then caught his garments floating

Murmuring bitterly:
king, all the dayli ghts Is for them
And hast thou naught for me?"

He looked upon my face,

Then, swifter than . shadow flies,
He passed, and no flower fell
But his eyes were rs my lost loves
