An Unexpected Remonstrance.

A civil engineer tells this story:
While overseeing a gang OF men
who, with mule teams teams, were
hauling loads Of dirt, friend OF
mine-a yentriloquist-came up and
stood by my side, watching the men at
work.
Presently mule, driven by a large,
redheaded and fery-tempered Irish
man, baked when right in front of
where my friend and I were standing.
The Irishman soon lost his temper
and began to belabor the animal with
his rawhide. Every now and then
the mule would turn his head and
look reproachfully at the angry Irish
man, but still he refused to bulge an
inch. :,
'Now, just watch the Irishman, Z"
the ventriloquist whispered in my
ear. :,
At that moment Pat, losing all
patience, gave the animal a tremen-
dous kick in the ribs with his heavy
boots.
The mule turned his head, and look
ing the Irishman in the face opened
his mouth.
"D-n you, don't you do that
again p The voice sounded as thoug h
it came direct from between the mule s
parted lips.
The whip dropped from the Irish
mans hand. For q moment he
stared at the mule, and then without
utterlng word, he whirled about and
bolted down the valley as fast as his
two rather lengthy limbs could take
him.-Ne,o York Herald.

The Successful Advertiser

Is the man who writes something the
people will read, and reading, believe. In
this age of education and enlightenment,
when men read and think for themselves,
all that stuff about "selling goods cheaper
than your competitors buy them," being
the "only competent dealers in the line,"
"handling better stuff than anybody
else," &c, is mere clap.trap, and subjects
the writer and the firm back of it to the
contempt of all right-thinking people. The
man who has something to offer, and then
tells the folks about in plain, business
way, is the man who "gets there" and
getting there, stands.
Lots of people handle Paint. Some
handle one kind, some another, but they
all realize, if they have any business sense
at all, that in order to make that business
a permanent success it is absolutely neces-
sary to give the people the very best ma
terial This we have tried to do, and at a
price that puts it in the reach of all.
In this connection we call attention to
the fact that crops are about laid by, time
is plentiful. and little paint not only
freshens and beauties, but improves Won
derfully the sanitary condition OF the
premises. If your house is all right may
be the fence needs coat. A little Paint
would keep that old buggy from falling
down, and the wagon might last year or
two longer by spending seventy.five cents
or dollar in Paint on it.
Remember this, the longer you put it
off the more it takes and the less good it
does. Remember another thing, 1t costs
Just as much, and takes just as much time,
to have cheap paint put on as it does good
Paint. Always buy the best, even if you
pay more for it.

Another member of the dreamer's s
club related singular dream contrib
uted by her mother, niece of Salmon
P. Chase.
"It's recital made such an impress
sion on me-" said Mrs. F., "thatI l
can never forget the slightest detail.
She had son at sea, and she dream
ed that she saw shipwreck in which
he was drowned. The manner Of the
accident and the details made such
an impression upon her that she
awoke in fright, but consoled her.
self with the idea that she had been
following out the line Of her waking
thoughts, and the fear that was con-
stantly in her mind that he would be
drowned had resulted in the dream.
She tried, she said, in telling it, to
think Of other subjects, and succeed
ed, but as soon as she fell asleep she
dreamed exactly the same dream Of
the shipwrecked vessel and the
drowning crew, among whom she re-
cognized again her own son struggling
in the waves and finally sinking be-
meath them. The second time she
awakened in great mental distress and
resolved not to fall asleep again. She
arose and walked about the room and
even partook of food in order to
change the current of her thoughts.
It was nearly daylight when she lay
down for the third time, and falling
asleep dreamed again the same dream
to the slightest detail. This time the
dream brought absolute conviction
that it was the truth, and my mother
mourned for her son as dead until the
news came which confirmed her fears.
And it occurred at the very hour CO.
ssincident with her dreams.

THE DREAMERS' CLUB.
Detroit Free Press.

"My DREAM said Mrs. L., one Of
the new members of the club, "may
not impress you as marvellous, since it
is only those to whom those strange,
vivid illusions Of the sleeping senses
are permitted to feel their mysterious
power and intensity like psychical
revelation:
"I was i'll at the time from sudden
attack of fever, but perfectly con-
scious Of all that was going on in my
home, when I fell asleep and dreamed
that my brother Loren came into the
room where I was lying on lounge,
carrying an infant in his arms. He
looked at ME in strange, troubled
way, and said, in perfectly audible
voice: 'Celestia is dead Celestia was
my brothers wife.
sThat was my dream. I slept on and
when I awakened remembered the
dream as having occurred in the ear
lier part of my sleep. But the impress
sion of it was so strong upon me that L
said:
Mother, Celestia is dead.
"'What do you mean p asked my
mother in startled way. told her
the news so emphatically that she
thought some one had come in while
she was absent from the room and in
formed me. When I told her l had
dreamed it, she said. the fever had
gone to my head, and sent for the
doctor. I was very i'll and at once
became unconscious and [ remained
so until the next day, when, as | came
back to consciousness, heard someone
say: 'We have just heard that Celes-
tia is dead
cit was a member of the fami
ly speaking to neighbor, who
had Just come ir. 1 looked up tiny
mother and asked, when did Celestia
die /?
ssAnd this is the strange part. She
+ had died at the precise moment the
day before when l had dreamed of
seeing my brother come in, and she
had left an infant. In his loneliness
and helplessness my brother had turn
ed to me as the only one who could be
of service or comfort to him. / had
not moments doubt in my own
mind on awakening that the dream
was true-anything so vivid could be
nothing less than the truth--but how
it was accomplished I leave to those
who are better versed in the mathe-
matics of the soul than I. )"
