VISIONS WHICH WARNED.
Two Instances Where Dreams of Horses
and Fire Came True.

From the Trotter and PAGER Dreams,
like girls. ARE queer and dreams
wherein horses figure largely take
rank among the queerest. 1t is usual
to head this column with little horse
talk-a sort of bait to tempt the wary
horseman into the discussions OF minor
subjects, and this time | shall give
few dreams, not of fair women, but
Of horses. told one day between heats.
In the year eighteen ninety something
a gentleman entered promising PAGER
for race to come off some time during
the last of the snow, and wrote to his
wife, who was visiting in distant
town that his prospects for race horse
were rosy. That night the lady. al
though not especially an admirer 81
horses, dreamed that she was sitting in
the stand watching the finish of the
race wherein her husbands horse was
to take part Replying to the letter, she
said that his horse would win the race
the last heat several lengths ahead OF
gray horse, the only other one size
saw in her dream, and that the judge
announced the time 2:20A. The letter
caused a good deal of amusement in
the family during the months previous
to the race, and finally when the day
came five horses started, among them
being dark gray. The dream came
true in every respect. the race being
won in three heats, and at the finish
the gray was the only one in it; the
rest just coming into the stretch; time,
2:20A. The dream l can vouch for, as
| saw the letter weeks before the race
took place. Another gentleman who
was sleeping at an inn beside the track
where his horses were stabbed dreamed
that he saw the window of a stall con-
tanning valuable young horse being
stealthily opened from the outside
Then fire flashed and fell among the
straw revealing the horses in state Of
terror, paving and snorting loudly
The dream was so vivid that he awoke
and fapcied that he could in reality
hear the horse striking the walls Of
his cell. He partially dressed and ran
out, and not moment too soon. Some
miscreant had thrown a cloth burning
and soaked with oil in through the
window This had ignited the straw
and in few seconds more the horse
must have persisted, though fortunately
as 1t was he was but slightly injured.

Pet Lambs n Social Fad,

The latest fad in New York swelldom
is the pet lamb For the nonce the
pug's nose is out Of joint and the poo
die hides his diminished head in sor-
row. Every belle in Gotham who as
pires to the ranks of the 400 has a
young sheep, perhaps not the precise
counterpart of the historical animal
that followed Mary to school one day,
but something similar, which accom-
panies her in her daily promenade,
led by silken leash. These animals
are said to be SO abundant in the
metropolis as to give certain fashion
able thoroughfares quite a pastoral
appearance, Fifth avenue especially
seeming to be all wool and yard wide.
In consequence with the new move,
merirfo dresses are having a boom, and
every society young man. with vitality
enough, is sporting mutton-chop whisk-

How to Walk We'll,

When girl walks she should be
trained to hold her shoulders we'll back
and to keep her arms close to her body.
The chest will then be thrown out, not
form an inward curve, and the head
must be held up fearlessly. Some wo-
men go through life with the head held
a little forward. reminding one Of
nothing so much as an inquiring tor
toise out on voyage of discovery.
The foot should be placed on the
ground on the ball first, not on the
heel. or quite fiat. The latter way
robs one of all grace, and to put the
heel first is too ungainly for words.
1t is just as ugly to mince along on the
tees; 1t looks as though the ground was
over-heated and unable to be trodden
on. Even when climbing a hill, or
mounting the rather dingy staircases
OF town-built houses and flats, the head
should be held up. not dropped as
though you were searching for a lost
sixpence.

The pedagogical hermit of the White
Wilderness. northern Piscataquis coun-
ty. says the only book he possesses or
reads is copy Of Wordsworth's poems.
With such a mechanical regimen it is
small wonder that the recluse has
wheels in his head. With the excep-
ton of a jar for cooking beans and a
vessel in which he fries his fish, this
schoolmaster hermit has absolutely no
furniture nor even blanket to keep
himself warm in winter. His cabin is
surrounded by dense woods and 200 or
300 yards off is stream which sup
plies him with fish and water. Fish
and the beans from his garden form
his only diet-with WORDSWORTH

Concerning the recent shooting Of
Private Weaver at Fort Niobrara by
order Of the oficer of the guard to pre-
vent him In his insanity from killing
any more Of his companions. much
comment has been created In army cir
cles over what is claimed to be now
the proven inefhciency Of the new rife.
Although Weaver received what was q
mortal wound, and which. from this
rife. should have stopped him short.
he nevertheless succeeded in firing
three more shots at the other soldiers
before succumbing. This fact Is con-
sidered as very Encouraging among
those who have heretofore praised the
new weapon undoubtedly.

Two Unlucky Chineae.


Last week British Columbia logger
sent the cook Of his camp to Douglass,
the British Columbia station just
across the line from Blaine to get an
express package. The Monaghan came
to Douglass. and instead Of stopping
there, wandered over the line to the
Great Northern Depot, on this
side, whore he sat down. A
Jealous deputy marshal spied
him, and after a few questions
found out he had no papers. So he de-
tanned him. and according to law the
only thing that could be done was to
deport him to China. although Mckee
came down and explained and tried to
have him released to go back and cook
Sunday the train had just started
south with this Monaghan on board,
when some one yelled: There's an
other one" Sure enough, there came
another big. fat, wabbly-looking Chi
nese across the line. The train was
stopped instanter, and he was ques-
toned. He was on this side of the line
without papers, and the funny part of
1t was that he was cook, who had
been sent from Westminster to take
the other fellows place as cook in Nc
KEGS logging camp, and, mistaking his
location. had wandered too far south.
He cried when he knew his predica-
ment, but law, as interpreted by the Of
ficers, is stern, as we'll as surprisingly
silly, and he will go back to China
along with No. 1. In the meantime
Mckee has no cook.-Whatcom Rev.

'Mr. President. while thinking of the

that occurred in Alabama during our
civil war. A colonel of an Ohio regi-

north Alabama. within whose lines the
family Of a confederate officer resided.
Sometimes the bold rebel would slip

Yonkers, N. Y, has little girl IL
years old who seems to have absolutely
no moral sense. She Is already an
accomplished adept at all "con" games.
Moreover she exhibits as much versa

thievery. She has been repeatedly ar
rested but seems to always hypnotic

That Bicycle Express Race.

And now 1t said that the representa-
tives of the cycle firm which wishes
to race its sextet with the Empire
state express were unable to make ar
rangements for the event with Chaun-
cey M. Depew. Mr.. Depew, since his
speech against the efforts of cyclists
wishing to make the railroads carry
their wheels as baggage, has developed
an apathy, it would appear. to the
proposed race. He referred the manu-
facturers to his general superintend-
ent. and this official was too busy to
discuss details. So the wheelmakers
went to Europe for recreation, and the
sextet race is in allegiance.

How n Minister Came TO buy IL ana
Why He Sold 1t.
The Rev. Francis Winter was ma
tive of Boston and graduate OF Har-
ward college, says the Lewiston Me)
Journal. He came to Bath early in
1867 and after preaching on probation
for the orthodox church, was invited
to settle, which invitation he accepted.
He was ordained in the autumn OF the
same year. He came to Bath on horse
back in company with Lemuel Stand
ish. Mr.. Winter came from Boston,
where he had associated with such
eminent men as Adams, Otis and War
rem, himself becoming an ardent pa
trot. taking the lead in the reyolu-
tionary measures adopted in Bath
during that memorable period.
Mr.. Winter married Miss Abigail
Alden in 1853 and it is through her
that the Winters of today trace their
ancestry back to the Puritan Maiden
of Plymouth"
Three years after the marriage ofthe
Rev. Francis Winter and Abigail Alden
they started to visit sister OF Mrs.
Winter living in Connecticut and in
tended to ride all the way on horse
back, but Mrs. Winter became so IA
tigued that Mr.. Winter sold one OF the
horses for a carriage and harness. 1t
was called a chaise. Travelling was so
difficult that two negroes were en-
ployed to accompany them with SHOW
els and axes to clear the road. Several
times the chaise had to be taken apart
and lifted over fallen trees. The min
listers parishioners thought that it was
putting on too much stlye for their
pastor to ride in carriage and in con-
sequence Mr.. Winter sold it. This was
in I'LL. 1t was twowheeled chaise
the body resting on leather thorough
braces. which were attached to wooden
springs.

II" AS pure as babe
eyes when they open at dawn.
Let children, with fingers undabbled
with blood.
Bear wreaths to each green grave in
closing dear dust,
Bring blooms from the garden and
fronds from the wood.
While age gathers wisdom and
swords gather rust.
A moment, turn back to the days that
are dead,
And mark the long lines as they
marshal and clash;
With wine brewed in battle the sec
tons are red,
And order seems lost in the loud
lannon's crash:
But motive in nature is stronger than
men,
For links in the chain have been
snapped in the past
To be hurled by strong justice together
again,
And in tears and in bloodshed the
rivets made fast.
Lo. when earth swung out from its
gimbals of fire
On invisible cables to roll round the
sun,
Was its mission not Man, and Love the
strong sire.
With life to be forged as the cycles
were run?
Aye, deeds are the hammers that fash
ion the race.
And earth is the anvil whereon Pur-
pose lays
The ends of all causes, and smites with
mace
That Yields into girders the gold Of
the days.
The vast human fragments must glow
ere they weld.
Be hot with red rage and the anguish
of heat,
held
Ere aims shall be one and the sea-
sons be sweet
LO, the tears of that time have turned
into pearls,
The fail of fierce war has but beaten
out good:
Der the blue and the gray now our
banner unfurls,
For unions sweet flower blossomed
out Of their blood.
The sweep of the sections together in
strife,
Like the shifting together of Gods
mighty hands,
Smote fire round the world and q thrill
thro' all life,
And buds of fair freedom broke forth
In far lands.
All wrought at Gods purpose, then let
us forgive.
Lo, liberty's sunbeams our whole
kingdom kiss!
Here all are born freemen, here JUS
tice shall live.
Forget in the glory and greatness of
this.
Then garland each grave. and remem-
Der each name
To breathe 1t with reverence up into
the air.
That silence may never flow over
their fame.
That valor be dear and their touches
be fair.
These graves are the seals Of our great
ness and peace,
The arks that the covenants ever
shall hold
OF hearts that paid blood lest freedom
should cease,
Whose deeds are now jewels, whose
ashes are gold.
