DREAMS

Some tiny elves. one evening. grew mis-
chievous. 1t seems.
Ard broke into the storeroom where the
Sandman keeps his dreams.
And gathered up whole armsful of dreams
all bright and sweet.
And started forth to peddle them a-down
the village street.
you would never. never guess how
queerly these dreams sold;,
Why, nearly all the youngest folk bought
dreams of being old;
And one wee chap in curIs and kits, n gen.
tie little thing.
Invested in a dream about an awful pirate
king;
\ maid. who thought her pretty name old
fashioned and absurd,
Bought dreams of names the longest and
the queerest ever heard;
And, strange to say. a lad who owned all
sorts of costly toys.
Bought dreams of selling papers with tho
raggedest of boys.
And then a dream of summer and a bare
foot boy at play
Was bought up very quickly by a gentle-
man quite gray.
And one old lady-smiling through the gries
she tried to hide
Bought bright and tender visions of a little
girl who died.
A ragged little beggar girl, with weary,
wistful gaze.
Soon chose Il Cinderella dream. with Jewels
all ablaze-
Well, 1t wasn't many minutes from the Tina
they came in sight
Before the dreams We're all sold out and

REMEMBER THE EXTENSION ELEC.
TON.

Every friend of Kansas City should re-
member that Thursday next is the day
to cast a vote for the extension of the
city limits. This election will afford every
voter an opportunity to do something to
push the city along. 1t is proposed to
double the area, and to increase the popu-
lation of the city by 5000. The acquisi-
ton of Westport alone is a matter of great
Importance. not only to Kansas City, but
to the fiourishing suburb itself. The ex-
tension of the limits to Brush creek and
the Blue will give the city incalculable ad-
vantages in drainage facilities. No logical
argument can be brought to bear against
the question Of extension, and a dozen i'm
portant reasons can be offered for the an
nexation OF this territory. While there is
no organized opposition to the extension
proposition. there are those who are quiet
ly working TO effect its defeat. Every be-
lever in municipal progress should con-
slider himself personally responsible for the
success of the extension scheme. If he Is
authorized to cast a vote in its support.

ents still reside, on account of her promi-
nence in amateur entertainments. She was
an elocutionist. She entered the theatrical
profession three years ago under the name
of Harriet Bond and is now Il member of
May Twins company in New York. The
following somewhat hectic notice of the
Kansas girl is taken from the New York
Telegram of a recent date:
There is one young woman at the Bijou,
by the way, who would make a sensation
at the Horse show. Her name is Harriet
Bond and she is Il cousin of Playwright
Charles Hoyt. Miss Bond Is a cyclonic
beauty of II type occasionally seen in the
pages OF life. but rarely on the stage or
IN the drawing room. She is tall. slight
and willowy, with splendid high bred Shout
ders. a swan-like neck. fine brown hair and
a cheek that seems to invite caresses. Her
eyebrows are strongly penciled. her eyes
are hypnotic and her lips would tempt a
monk from his c~loister. 1t is a fact that
you might go over to the Horse show any
night this week and not be able to find
IN any of the boxes n personality as genu-
lneiy aristocratic II Enthusiastically fasci-
mating as that possessed by this little
bisque who serves in the chorus for the
star of the evening""
Clarence Brann. son of the late postmas-
ter at Perry. has been adjudged insane in
the probate court of Jefferson county. A
lew months ago the young man was en-
gagged in painting signs on the cliffs which
rise above the bay at San Francisco when
a scaftolding gave way and he was dropped
forty-1ve feet on to the rocks below. His
Skull was cracked, yet after it had been
trepanned at the hospital he seemed to re-
cover and returned to his home in Kan
sas. Shortly after his arrival he began
to have spells" and they grew worse I'M
til he was adjudged insane.
ihere Is no occasion for a laugh at the
recommendation of Paul Morton that the
farmers of the Arkansas valley go into
the business of raising celery. A few years
ago there was a man at Hays City who
made a living raising celery and the only
land he used was contained in two town
lots.

Balance of Trade in Our Favor.

From the Chicago Times-Herald.
Last week in the world Of trade and
productive activity was a record-breaker.
Although the statistics of trade move
ments and bank clearings for three months
past have given incontrovertible proof Of
a steady and positive improvement in
business conditions. no week can compare
with the week just closed in tina number
of evidences of permanent advance in all
lines of industrial enterprise.
The most important features Of the
weeks record were the heavy exports Of
wheat and the renewed advance in price.
The week closed with December wheat
lowering very close to the dollar mark.
Since the extent of the foreign crop
shortage became accurately known the
exports have been larger han In the cor
responding weeks of any previous year.
On the Chicago board inquiries for wheat
on foreign account come from all sorts Of
unusual quarters. On Friday there were
inquiries for wheat from Venice. The
aggregate exports of wheat from both
coasts Of the United States and from Can
ada last week are 5,4G5, lS3 bushels. against
3.I53. 900 bushels last year and 2,460, 900 BUSH
els in 1895. The corn exports were ESQ.,
900 bushels. against $4,000 bushels last
year and 1,s20.0O bushels in 1895.
The cotton exports were also very heavy,
and the exports of manufacturing prod
ucts. especially machinery, surpass all
records for the season. The iron industry
shows no Increase in production or con-
sumption in pig. while in bars. agricuI-
tural and railway manufacturing causes a
heavy demand In Chicago. The condition
of wooden manufacturing is equally
encouraging. nearly all the wooden mills
being heavily crowded to I'LL past orders.
The most significant feature of the trade
situation is the heavy falling of in imports
and the consequent increase of the balance
of trade In our favor. At the port of New
York the imports are running behind last
years at the rate of nearly $4,000. 900 for
this month. SO that another excess of ex-
ports over imports amounting to about
$50. 0OO. 900 for the month Is probable. which
would make an excess of about $225. 600, 90
for the four months.
With a continuous increase in the ex-
cess of exports over imports and weekly
bank clearings that average about 10
per cent higher than those Of last year
the return Of good times is a certainty
that is no longer questioned by those who
have an intelligent understanding of causes
and effects in the world Of industry and
trade.

which was afterwards sold to q resident Of
this city. One day fisherman received q
telegram from Chicago stating that Mr..
Reimenbottom, Of that city, would give SEQ
for the other horse If he was as good as
represented. FISHERMAN bought the horse
back again for more than he had received
for 1t. He telegraphed to R~eimenbottom
that he still had the horse. R~eimenbottom
answered in a short time-in a surprising
ly short time. His answer was rather
vague. n there was nothing real definit
about 1t. A telegram was sent to him at
his address in Chicago, and the
came back that he was AVA from home.
Then the owner of the horse was informed
that ReimenbOttOm would be at the stock
yards in his city on a certain day. He had
the horse fixed up In his best style. mount
ed him and rode him down to the stock
yards! A search of more than an hour
failed to reveal the whereabouts of REIN
enbottom. but finally a man was found h
said he thought that ~Reimenbottom had
gone up town. and would return in u bug
gy. The owner of the horse rode forth to
meet him. He had never met Reimenbot-
tom. and did not know him by sight. Every
man he met he supposed to be Reimenbot-
tom. and questioned him about his identity.
The Chicago man was not to be found. and
the owner of the horse knows now why he
did not find him. 1t was all a wicked.
heartless hoax. and he still has the horse.

UNION VETERANS IN THE SOUTH.

The bill introduced in the Georgia Iecis-
lature to provide free licenses to all Union
veterans now living in that state met with
the fate that might have been expected
and that the measure deserved.
II is TO the credit OF the members of the
Georgia legislature that the bill was dis
cussed dispassionately, that ii did not call
forth any dcnunciation of the Northern
soldiers. that it did not provoke any out
bursts of Southern sentiment, hut that
nevertheless the proposition was prompt
ly and effectively killed.
\ The federal government has made am
pie provisions for the defenders of
the Cnion-more ample than the
provision made by any other country
for its veteran soldiers. The enormous
pension roll. which Is increasing instead
OF diminishing in spitc of the rapid death
rate among the soldiers. is a standing testi.
monial of the gratitude of the nation to-
ward those who brought it through the
great civil struggle.
II Is not on any state to give
special privileges to old soldiers over and
above those granted by the federal au'
thorities. 1t is. of course. the privilege
of any Northern state to make such pro
vision IL it is the will of the people. Blu
that a Southern state. which bears it,
share of the taxation necessary to pen,
sion the veterans OF the Union army
should be asked to give special privilege.
to those enjoying the fruits of those pen.

THE SAD CASE OF MR.. FILLEY.

Mr.. Fflley's coarse abuse Of the national
administration and of leading Repub-
licans Of this state is simply the rawlings
Of a disappointed old man. Unable to run
absolutely the Republican party of Mis-
souri,. he is of a mind to ruin as much Of
1t as possible. At least he is so intent on
gratifying his own selfish and revengeful
purposes hat he is Indifferent as to what
effect his course may have on the party.
The Republicans of Missouri will seriously
question whether they can afford to follow
a leader who runs amuck when things do
not go Just to suit him. There is a preva-
lent impression that the party's interests
should be paramount to those of any indi-
vidual. When a leader insists on putting
his personal grudges and disappointments
above the good of the party it is time for
the party to lay him on a high, broad shelf
where he will not roll of.
Mr.. Filley's rabid mouthings through the
Democratic press sound more like the
teeth-gratings Of a cheap politician who has
lost his grip than the utterances of a digni-
fed and broad minded leader such as Mr..
Filley's friends have delighted to consider
him. The st. Louis sage should straight
en- up and be n man a Republican. He
has been in the harness too long to be
kicking out like a foolish colt at this late

The Provident Association has don't an
admirable work since its organization. Its
charity is of the practical sort. Those
who are able to do something are not
given anything for nothing. But while
the association is so conducted that it
helps TO sustain itself. its scope is so large
and the demands upon it are SO great that
only through the liberaiity of the people
can its operations be continued.

By almost a unanimous vote the Central
Trades and Labor Union at St. Louis has
resolved against any further restriction of
immigration. This is Il most remarkable
action. There is already more labor in the
country than can find profitable employ
ment. even when mills and factories are
all running fall time. To leave our gates
practically wide open to the indiscriminate
hordes who would swarm in from other
lands means idleness, want and misery for
many of the newcomers and many native
workingmen. Organized labor, above all
others, should be warmly in favor of most
rigidly restricting immigration.
