SHE HAD A DREAM,
saw THE HOUR OF DEATH on
THE DIAL.
How She Turned Back the Hand of
Fate. ''Box 475."

Ihls is her story; the true story of a
well known resident of Springfield. She
beheved, as so many women believe, that
fate controlled her life, her fortune. and
her future. She had been unhappy a long
time. She had suffered a long time
She had vainly sought help here
there, and yonder. Day distressed
her; night no longer refreshed her. but
brought only fitful slumber haunted nv
frightful dreams. II was the hand of fate
she said. She grew pale, fretful, haggard
and tired of life. She drifted. drifted on
into that wilderness of woman's woes that
nave driven thousands of her suffering
sisters to the verge of self destruction
hhally she came to look upon death alone
as source of relief She hoped for it;
longed for it. She courted the fateful
nour. one night she awoke with a start
She dreamed that when the hand on the
dlal OF the clock should point to the third
nour or morning she would die. Often She
mad suffered agonies and wished for
death, but now-it was so sudden. so
near, so very near! In that moment life
became ineXpressibly dear How long had
she to live? With a cry she sprang from
her bed and ran to the clock. 1t lacked len
minutes of three. Only a few minutes
more of life! With frenzied haste she
grasped the hand of the clock and pushed
1t back. back, back from the fateful num-
Der. Then she stopped and almost
swooned-but no. the lick of the clock
should not make a coward of her. She
would die at the fated hour-Fate had de-

manned. In that time she would take leave

who are prominent in educational and
charitable movements. At the close of the
luncheon the wife of the manager, Mr..
Sheug of the telegraph service, arose and
made what Is believed to be the first pub
lie speech ever delivered by a Chinese wo-
man Of rank, In her own country at least.
perhaps In the world She explained In a
hesitating manner, and in her own tongue,
the desire of herself and her associates
to enlist the cooperation of the ladies of
the foreign colony in the establishments
of a school in the native section of Shang-
hal, similar to the schoo. for peeresses
founded by the Empress of Japan at To-
kio, for the education In the modern
style, of their daughters and other girls
Of rank. Their plans were not formed,
and they had very few ideas on the sub
1eet because of their ignorance and mex
perience, but they were anxious that their
daughters should have advantages that
had been withheld from them, and hoped
that the foreign ladies present. who had
knowledge Of such affairs, would aid them.
The little speech was translated by one
Of the Michigan University girls and
heartily applauded.
Mrs Archibald Little. an English lady,
responded IN an appropriate address.
which was also translated, expressing the
thanks of the foreign ladies for the hos
pitalty and their sympathy with the
movement. and assuring their hosts OF
their earnest desire to cooperate in every
manner possible. At this point all the
Chinese ladies present arose and bowed
several times In acknowledgment of the
sentiments offered.
A Chinese lady physician then made q
speech of some length. giving more In de-
tail the plans for the proposed school.
and several foreign ladies responded Be-

( at Shanghai there was remarkable In.
vasion of ancient Chinese customs and an
event that could not have occurred outside
of fairy tale two years ago It Illus
trates more forclbly than anything that
has happened how modern ideas are pene-
tratlng Chinese society, and how rapidly
the restrictions that have been imposed
by the policy OF exclusion are being brck-
en- down. Three native young women, who
were educated at the University Of Mich
igan, persuaded ten Chinese ladies', wives
of mandarns Of the highest rank, TO in
wife fifty foreign ladies TO be their guests
at luncheon al a restaurant in a public
garden in the suburbs of Shanghai, most
ly frequented by foreigners, for the pur-
pose of discussing ways and means for
the establishment of a school in that city
In which the daughters OF the nobility
may obtain modern education. 1t Is be-
lieved to be the first time that noble wo-
men of China, in their own country, have
sat al the same table and eaten from the
same dishes with women of foreign race,
and what is even more remarkable, it wes
at their invitation and with their sane
ton and at the expense of their husbands.
Hitherto a barrier more formidable than
the great Chinese wall has separated tie
women of the two races, and although
the men have mingled in commerce and
often in social gatherings, a native wo-
man of rank who voluntarily appeared
among foreigners would have been eter-
nally disgraced and condemned to perpet-
ual secluslon. II not to a worse fate. But

THE P0PE'S LENTEN SCHEME.
HAS CONCEIVED A VALUABLE IDEA
FOR FEEDING THE POOR.
His Immense Fish Farms-LaEOons at
Comm0chiO stocked with Fish
From the Adriatic.

COmm0chiO stocked with Fish
From the Adriatic.
Italy Jan. 12-Pope Vincent Joachim
in March-is one of the most progressive
and mentally active men of the age. His
IS years sit SO lightly upon him that he Is
foremost in mental resources and inven-
don, and many of the brilliant acts of
the Church come directly from the brain;
acts thatN are not strictly churchly, yet
are, nevertheless. for the spiritual good
of the people
1t is coming on Lent now, and each year
as the season approaches, the good Pope's
thoughts are full of his people His sym
pathies are with the very poor-those who
would be good if they could and whose
goodness means to them self-denlal such
as they are often not bodily fit to bear.
AS every good churchgoing person
knows. there are days when The Pope
people must abstain from food. Meat Is
often prohibited during the Lenten season.
yet to go without it means much to GER
tain classes of the Pope's people who can
not purchase substitutes.
To guard against too great abstinence
the good father has this year gone into
bit of commercial enterprise, which,
while it may not be a great pecunary sue
cess, viii be enormously profitable on the
spiritual side of the balance sheet of the
heavenly ledger.
In Commachlo. Italy, there is section
in which lie broad lagoons. For several
years past the Pope has owned portions
of these lagoons and has kept the waters
well stocked with cells and fish of all
kinds. This season he has increased his
possession in Commachio. and has be-
come the owner of great number of
small lakes which afford a highly proflta-
BILE supply OF fish food
During Lent the Holy Father will cause
these fish to be distributed among the poor

of Italy--such as need them-and will al
low others to go and fish in his waters.
and. as large supply of fish will still
remain, these will be sold and the pro-
ceeds turned over to the Pope for use
among his poor.
There are many interesting stories ctr
rent this season of the manner in which
the Pope conducts his lagoons. or fish
farms. The method Is something like this.
Each lagoon is divided into sections by
the islands that dot these lovely stretches
of water and each section has its labor
ers. The workmen or farm hands are
placed upon these Islands to live and DO
their work. They Ash In their own por-
tons of the water and ship their catches
TO certain depots, where the fish are sent
to their further destination.
1t is said that the cells from these Ia
goons are especially valuable, as they are
brought in from the Adriatic in large
numbers, and fattened In Commachio
there is an enormous kitchen belonging
to the Pope. Here the fish are cooked
by the ton and distributed to the poor,
or sold to those who can buy them. The
best OF chefs handle the finny produce,
and though Il is considered a charity to
buy the fish at Commachio the purchas-
ers thereof are I'm no way cheated. They
get their full moneys worth. This Is
only enc of the many practical ways In
which Pope Leo benefits his people. II
is said that he is interested in certain
branches of manufacture; and that there
is scarcely trade In which he is not
influential In moneyed way, putting
the vast funds at his disposal to every
possible good use.
Each season of the Pope has its own
industry. and at this time, when there
comes the enormous demand for fish
throughout Italy, his lagoons are filed
with the swimming beauties and his la
borers stand ready to pull in their nets
like the disciples OF old, and find them
