A DREAM.

There are many dreamers here, and
there is much advantage to be gained
by dreaming pleasantly. 1 do !not
dream pleasant dreams, but the man
who relates the following does, and
we may learn thereby
[ dreamed that 1 were dead, yet
heard and saw. At first my spirit was
gradually relaxing its hold on my body.
Then, for space, everything was dark,
and then, suddenly, was ushered into
the spirit world. There I stood amazed,

tlful place. I will put in the rest of
my time here. Then, as L thought of
my past life my thought carried me
back to my body, and saw it, and the
people busy preparing it for burial.
They were moving around looking SOL

they wore such heavy clothing and

"Then that accounts for the kind
reception L have met with?"
"Yes, you were made to suffer and

Among the prisoners brought up at
Centre Street Police Court, New York,
a few days ago, was man charged
with being on street car. The mag
istrate inquired if that was his only
Offense, as he knew of no statute to
prevent the public using the cars. The
detective who had arrested him ex-
planned that the man was habitual
criminal and had already served term
in the penitentiary. Seeing him on the
car, and believing that he was there for
an unlawful purpose, arrested him.
The prisoner said he lived long way
up town, and he was on his way home,
1t was too far to walk, and he wanted
to know how he could get home if he
must not use street car. The magiS-
trate replied that it was no part of his
duty to suggest mode of travel
He said: "You have no right
to use a public conveyance.
The law forbids man who has been
convicted of theft to enter the street.
cars. That is one of the penalties you
have to pay for not being an honest
man." 1t is no wonder that the man
thought that he was being hardly dealt
with. When man commits a crime
he cannot see how far reaching the
penalty will be, and how remorseIessly
it will pursue him through life.-Chris-
ian Herald.
Well, probably Mr.. Yerkes does not
care to ride on the cars.-ED.

COURAGE, BROTHER.

"What pity" was the consolation
received when L related my own little
love affair to my confidant Aunt Mary,
who seemed to look the mood in which
she spoke. If it were not for her l
would, no doubt, have lost heart many
time. Her consolation Invariably
stood pat, her soothing words were
however, uncalied for this time, for

sequently continued my blissful devO-
ton or delusion until my hopes were
completely crushed, when in an un-
guarded moment my thoughts of a
happy future took wing and conveyed
to her the yearning of my heart. It
disheartened me considerably, but the
old adage came to me s'Where there's
will there's a way" and in few
months, after making necessarily a
large number of imaginary excuses for
her Indifference, repeated my suit but
with the same result. l then came to
the reluctant conclusion that l labored
in vain in other words. thought was
"dead horse" At this point Aunt Mary
offered her coincidence which would
have been in order if the story had
ended, but the remainder of this nara
tive will prove it was misplaced conso-
latiOn.

my first love for a year the influence
Of her presence was fast fading, at
which time met another who seemed
and proved to be my guardian angel.

has shared like place in my thoughts
and affections. She soon became my
wife and have since had occasion to
heartily congratulate myself of the

My wife and I, strange as it may
seem, occupied fiat directly opposite
that of the young lady who first filled
me with matrimonial desire, who had
married the man of her choice.
Her husband with whom [ have

troubled countenance, and being curl

an intolerable temper?

she makes a fierce charge out across

When say rim-rock L don't mean

Who Will Haul Down The Flag?

@'WhO will haul down the fag?" quoth he,
And no man an answer gave.
But who will haul up the flag, ask we,
Where the flag aught never to wave:
Over an arrogant mission of spoil
That takes as a matter of course,
A subject race and a conquered soil
And a government based on force!
Answer us!-answer us!-true and fair
Who will haul up Old Glory there?
+'WhO will haul down the flag?" quoth he.
Nay, think how it first went up
When war astride of land and sea
Poured wrath from its brimming cup;
When brave men died and left in bequest
One pledge for the great and the small;
Not stars for the few and stripes for the rest.
But the flag of our country for all!
Answer us truly and plainly, we pray;
Was that not its meaningin Washington's dayo
From Washington's day to Jackson's time
From Yorktown to New Orleans
Did any man follow that flag sublime
And doubt what the symbol means?
Free sef-ruled states, each one as a star
Fixed fast in a field of blue,
Fenced in by the bloOd-red stripes of war
To preserve them for me and YOU
Answer lis now, do you dare to drag
The old faith out of our fathers flag?
''WhO will haul down the fiago" auoth he.
Why, no hand of flesh and bone:
Can lower that flag on land or sea,
Till the faith of the flag is gone!
Till few shall rule and cunnngiy keep
The bunting to garnish their greed.
Till dollars are dear and humanity cheap
By the force of tory creed!
Then will it fall!-but answer us clear
DO you fancy that hour is drawing near:
Did our Liberty Bell ring in vain?
Was our declaration lie?
Must we turn to the old world again
With the penitent prodigals cry?
MuSt we arm us and march in the van
OF Europa'S barbaric parade,
And boom out a gunpowder gospel to man
To open a pathway for trade?
Shall we strut through the world and bluster
and brag
With the dollar mark stamped on the brave old
flag?
Nay, haul up the fag-raise it high
Not yet is its spirit spent!
Let it sing in the wind and the sky
OThe truth that it always meant:
Let it sing of the birthrght of man.
OF progress that never can lag,
Let it sing that trade may 90 where it can
But liberty follow the flag!
Yea, haul up Old Glory, but-comrades take
That no man shall part the old flag from the

Slow-trail Jack got slowly up from
the ground under the wagon, where he
had been taking his afternoon siesta,
and looked at Bill in disgust; then he
looked at Hawkins, who was washing
iron pans and cups at the tail-end of
the RI mess wagon.
"Can't airy one of you fellows sing a
lick on earth. Why don't you give the
boys something they can 'preciate:
Come all ye rowing cattle-men
Wherever you may be;
hope you'll pay attention
And listen unto me-"
"Lay down there! Get under the

'I'll jest go ye one," said Slow-trail,
goodnaturedly, 'yander comes the
saddle horses, and l must give Berry
Jam little exercise this eve Ira la la

spurs jingling and his "chapareros''
tapping.
At the mention of Berry Jam, every
lOafing cowboy was on his feet in an
instant, looking interested They all
knew her. There was no doubt about
it, Berry Jam was a "bad" horss-that
is to ride; but beauty to look at. She
was bay in color-deep and rich. She
was round and plump, with coal-black
name and tail; and there was look of
the devil in her wicked eyes. No one
had ever been able to break her, and
she was given up as bad case. Some
times they kept her with the roundup
as a trick-hOrse to take the conceit out
of would-be 'broncho- busters
But all those cowboys knew that
Slow-trail Jack was the genuine article;
and that if he was going to ride, there
would be some lively times in camp
directly.
The round up had been made on the
bench-land above the Yellowstone near
Miles City. The work for the day was
done. The beeves had all been "cut out"
and turned with the beef herd. The
calves had all been branded; and with
ugly, burning wounds in their sides,
were hugging close to their wild-eyed
dams over yonder near the hills.
as the herd of saddle-horses came
near the cowboys mounted their al
ready saddled horses that were stand
ing about, and surrounded the herd to
hold them.
Slow-trail picked up his lariat and
walked slowly out toward them, care
fully coiling it in his left hand as he
went. Watching his opportunity as
the horses were crowding and pushing
about, he shot the lariat out, straight
and true and Miss Berry was brought
up standing. A moment more and she
was saddled and bridled.
"Already fellows, here goes" and
with quick, sure spring he was in the
saddle. There he sits, apparently at
ease, while Berry Jam goes into the
air with arched back and head between
