TWO DREAMS.


Two dreams came down TO earth one night
From the realm OF mist and dew;
One waB dream OF the old old days,
And one was dream OF the new.
One was dream OF the shady lane
That led to the pickerel pond,
Where the willows and PUSHES bowed them
To the brown old hills beyond.
And the people that peopled the old-time
dream
Were pleasant and fair to see,
And the dreamer he walked with them again
AS often Of old walked he.
oh. cool was the wind in the shady lane
That tangled his curly hair!
Oh, sweet was the music the robins made
To the springtims everywherel
Was IL the dew the dream had brought
From yonder midnight skies,
Or was 1t tears from the dear dead years
That lay In tho dreamer's eyesg
The other dream ran fast and free,
AS the moon bengnly shed
Her golden grace on the smiling face
In the little trunde bed.
For twas dream OF time to come,
OF the glorious noon OF day,
or the summer thatfolows the careless spring,
When the cEild is done with play,
And twas dream Of the busy world,
Where valorous deeds are DONE
Ofbattles fought in the cause OF right
And OF victories nobly won.
1t breathed no breath of the dear old homo
And the quiet joys of youth;
u gave no glimpse Of the good old friends
Al Or the old-time faith and truth.
But twas dream ot youthful hopes,
And fast and free 1T ran,
And 1t told to a lit tie sleeping child
or a hoy become man.
These we're the seams that came one night
E \ To earth from yonder sky;
" These were the dreams two drGamers dreamed
My little boy and I.
And in our hearts my boy and
Were glad chat 1t was SO;
He loved to dream OF days to come
And of long ago
So from our dreams my boy aud
Unwillingly awoke,
But neither OF his precious dream
Unto the other spoke,
Yet Of the love we bore, those dreams
Gave each his tender sign;
For there was triumph in his eyes
And there were tears in mine

CHICAGO, July 1.-Mayor Swift has
issued a sensational statement con-
demning DR.. Arthur Reynolds, ex-city
health commissioner, for the latter's
management Of the smallpox epidemic

doctor with gross neglect of duty, as
serts that he alone was responsible for
the spread of the disease, and declared
that to him are directly chargeable the
159 deaths which occurred in the pest
house during the winter. The mayor
says that the pesthouse was kept in
frightful condition; the attendants
were careless or inefficient and no
deaths need have occurred had the
health department been properly man.

sation in political and medical circles,

Verdict for Mira. Sanford in tho Suit

SAN FRANCISCO, July Limited
States Circuit Judge Ross has rendered
his decision on the demurrer Of Mrs.
Jane l.. Stanford against the suit OF
the government to recover SIS, 900, 600
from the estate of her late husband,
Leland Stanford. The demurrer was
sustained. Judge Ross allowed the
government to amend its former COM
plant and reargue its case if it so de-
sired. 1t was intimated, however, that
this step would not affect the case, the
law as construed by Judge Ross not
favoring the case of the United States.
The sustaining of the demurrer was a
surprise, attorneys generally expecting
q contrary decision.

WHITING BALKY HORSES.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
press continually admonishes whom it
may concern that it does no good to
whip or pound balky horse, almost
every owner or driver of one does it
to-day. 1t is probable the create st
piece Of horse folly in existence. 1t
is not remnant of barbarism, but it
is continued barbarity, and brings out
what original and acquired sin there
is in a man.
The brain of a horse can retain but
one idea at time. If the idea is to
sulk, whipping only intensifes it. A
change of that idea, then, is the only
successful method of management.
This may be accomplished in scores of
ways, few of which will be named.
Tie a handkerchief about his eyes; tie
his tail tightly to the bellyband or
backband; fasten stick in his mouth /;
tie cord tightly about his leg; un-
check and pet him awhile; clasp his
nostrils and shut his wind off until he
wants to goy unhitch him from the
vehicle and then hitch him up again,
or almost any way to get his mind on
something else.
Whipping or scolding always does
harm. The treatment should ever be
gentle. There are more balky drivers
than horses. National Stockman.
