GEN. HARRISON VISITS LoUBET.
French President aud Ex-President Har.
rison Have a Friendly Chat.

Paris. May %. - Former President
Harrison, accompanied by General
Horace Porter, United States ambas-
sador. Saturday afternoon called upon
President Loubet. After a ceremonious
introduction the former and the actual
presidents dropped all formality and
conversed in the most friendly manner
upon topics of interest TO the two coun-
tries.
1oubet said he was especially pleas ed
to meet Harrison, who was ''doubly his
colleague. both being heads of sister
republics and both lawyers" He also
said he desired to congra tulate Ear-
rison upon the mission with which he
had been entrusted and which had
brought him to Paris. and expressed
qualification that the Venezuelan COM
mission had elected to meet in France.
Harrison replied in a similar vein.
The president and eN-president then
drifted to the general subject of arbi
tration, Harrison expressing the view
that ii was essential, in order to make
the use of arbitration general. that the
representative idea should be eliminated
from such tribunals. In order that
they should retain purely judicial char
acter every member of arbitration
tribunals should. he thought. be abso-
lutely indifferent to the individual in
terests of the parties in litigation.
EX-President Harrison and Mrs. Har-
rison have accepted an invitation to the
parliamentary dinner to be given by
President Loubet on Monday next

one Man In Double Distilled III Luck
Found 1t So.
| The Southern Pacific is about the
| v71I.t road in the wide, wide world to
| fool in the matter of transportation.
| The Southern Pacific has such plain
| monopoly of California business that it
| is not necessary for it to look for favors,
| so it closes down very tight. Even the
| tickets which the scalpers succeed in
getting are so hedged about with pre-
| cautions that it is like taking civil
| service examination to beat one of them.
The favorite is long slip which is
designed to be punched to fit the de-
| scription of the purchaser, so that by
no means can it be used by another
| than the rightful owner. When one of
| these tickets appears in a scalper's stock,
| it looks like porous plaster, being
punctured for the color of the eyes, the
| hair, stature, weight, complexion and
other details of the physical make up.
Once Jim Crawford of Laramie found
himself stuck in San Francisco with 81
and fearful hunger for home. But 81
was as nothing TO the fare back over
the desert. While he was worrying his
soul with regrets he came upon a neatly
folded slip of paper which had been lost,
doubtless by some hurried tourist. 1t
was one of those pieces of organette mu
sic representing a ride back to Ogden.
Jim read it over, printed matter,
punches and all, and rushed for a drug
store He bought dyes for his hair, a
stain for his complexion, got pair of
blue goggles and ran a concealing band
age over his chin. A barber took off
his mustache, and for a dollar a cheap
oculist made his eyes blue, so that the
goggles were REINFORCED with corrobo-
ration. 1t took all his money but 40
cents. Then he climbed aboard the
train.
He had reached Port Costa when the
conductor came around and gave one
hurried look at the ticket
"This thing expired month ago,
he said tersely.
The telegraph poles were pendulous
with blue and birthstone for two weeks
after Crawford had finished his walk

Do You Dreamf

The fullest examination into the ma
ture and origin Of dreams has been
made by M. Moreau, the French scien-
tist. He divides dreams into the dreams
Of health and the dreams that are the
result Of diseased state Of mind or
body.
With regard to the latter It need only
be remarked that persistent dreaming is
one Of the most invariable symptoms Of
insanity, and as 1t is psychological
fact that genius is near allied to mad
ness men Of genius must be expected to
dream more than ordinary men.
With regard to the dreams Of health,
they are the result of an imperfect state
Of consciousness or an imperfect state
OF sleep, according as we look at 1t. It
Is obvious that the mind Of the clever
man, that is constantly occupied with
many schemes and thoughts, is more
liable to be awake when his body ID
asleep than that Of the dullard, whose
mind is often asleep when his body ID
awake.
Thus the sleep Of the plowboy has
become proverbial on account Of Its un-
disturbed nature. In most cases q man
of lively Imagination and quick brains
Is undoubtedly more liable to dream
than the dullard.

her-"you will not think me cruel will

sure we cannot be happy togetherf
Why may not hopef"
'There is an impossible barrier be-

you are. :"
