"What seems to be the matter
with you this morning Bud? You
seem to be about half asleep.
What is wrong any way?'
"Well, doc, I was just a-thinkin'
a little, that's all. I had darn
strange dream last night and got
kinder skeered like"
"Well, Bud, I had suspected
something of the kind. Say, by
the way, the cook says she is short
two or three mince pies. Now
perhaps you got hold of one or
two Of them, and, being that they
were the first she ever made, you
were sure to have very. peculiar
dreams"
"Say, doc, Ill bet that darned
cat got into the cupboard last
night and ate them pies. Sorter
spected the critter long ago. It's
no tellin' what cats will do these
days. I seen her this mornin' and
she looked like she had ate darn
good meal some where"
well never mind the cat now,

"Well when I went to bed last
night l went right to sleep and [
dreamed that [ was over on Hanks
farm and everything looked so
funny like. [ was standin' by the
gate, that is down by the stable.
[ was a-standin' there lookin'
things over like, when [ heard a
noise and I looked over towards
the sheep pen and darned if I
didn't see that old ram. He was
a-comin' right straight for me on
the run. He had his head down
and say he was a-chewin' that
gum yet. Well [ was goin' to
turn and run like a white head,
but say, doc, 1 couldn't move
darn step. [ tried to hollar, but
it wasn't no use, kos I couldn't
say a word. But I done some col
darn hard thinkin' for a short
time. Well as I was sayin', I
couldn't move, so [ made up my
mind to stand still and take what
was comm, and it was comm
darn swift, too. Well l just shut
my eyes and say [ got the worst
jolt l ever got in my life, and just
then l woke up and what in the
dickens do you spose l had done?
Well I will tell you. I got up in
my sleep and climbed upon that
round table that is in my room
and the cussed thing has only got
one leg to it and that is in the
middle. Well you see when I
stepped backwards to get out Of
that darn sleeps road, I got on
one side of the table and it tipped
over and l sit down on the floor
about four feet below and J.
dreamed it was the sheep that
hunted me. Well [ woke up then
and after a while I was able to get
up and go to bed again.
swell I laid there a-thinkin'
for while and then I went to
sleep again and had another
dream. [ thought was down in
the woods by Hanks place and I
was huntin' woodchucks. Well,
didn't hunt long afore l seen a
dandy big fellow and so I went
after him and chased him into a

or gun, and so [ just sorter made
up my mind to go in after him
and pull him out. Well got in
the log all right and got the wood
chuck, but darned if [ could get
out. Well [ worked away for
long time and after while I woke
up, and say, doc, what do you
think [ was adoin' this time?
Well you know them -four barrels
you took upstairs last week. Well
[ was in one of them head first
and there is darned lot Of nails
in one of them barrels to hold the
hoops on, and after I got in the
barrel as far as [ could I got my
shirt caught on them darn nails
and say I was darn near an hour
gettin' out of that barrel, and I
got all scratched up in the bar
gain.
"Well [ went over and sat down
on the bed to think the matter
over and wonderful what I would
do if I went to sleep again. Well
[ set there for bout an hour
a-thinkin' and darned if I didn't
have to laugh. I made up my
mind that I was havin' good
time after all. So after thinkin'
the matter over [ turned in once
more and went to sleep again.
Then [ started to dream again.
Well [ thought [ was down on
Hanks farm, and say / seen my
old wheel hangin' in the tree right
where [ left it when [ went away.
[ went over and took the thing
down and looked her over and she
was just as good as the day [ left
it. Well I looked around to see
if anybody was watchin' me. [
didn't see no one, so [ took it out
in the pasture, the same place
where [ rode the last time. Well
[ leaned the wheel up against
the fence and got on, but say the
saddle seemed to be on edge way,
but I couldn't fix it no other way.
It felt pretty darn sharp, but 1
says to myself they amt nobody
here to look at me and I'm
a-goin' to ride that wheel or
break my cussed neck. So I
gave her a start and the way
we went down hill. Gee whiz,
but didn't we fly. Say we was
goin' so darn fast I couldn't
hardly get my breath, and the
road was so rough I couldn't hard
ly stay on and that darn saddle
was so sharp.
"Well we was just clippin' right
along in good shape, when the
darned wheel stopped still and
stood right there and I didn't fall
off at all, but that saddle was
cuttin' so darn bad I woke up.
Say doc, what do you spose I was
dom this time? Well, doc, I'll
tell you. [ was sittin' astraddle
the hind end of the bed and no
wonder the saddle was so darn
sharp. Cess if you was sittin'
astraddle Of an inch board for an
hour or SO you would soon find
out what it is like anyway. Well
doc [ was too skeered to go to
sleep any more, kos it's darn hard
tellin' what a Teller will do when
he is dreamin' Cess I'll sleep
better tonight"

That a widely known editor,
even though the father of a still
more famous son, is sometimes
caught off his guard was shown at
a recent meeting in Philadelphia.
It was a great mass meeting at
one of the theatres. Every seat
was occupied and crowds besieged
the entrances. So turbulent was
the crowd even at the stage door
that it was locked on the inside.
The messenger boys for the news
papers were let out and in through
a window of the green room. The
boys had to climb a high picket
fence, jump down into an in
closure, Chamber up on a window
sill, and then, when the window
was opened, drop down to the floor
inside.
One Of the boys had just been
admitted. But before the window
could be closed there doomed up
on the high sill the form of man.
He was we'll dressed and of dis
tinguished appearance. He had
scaled the pointed iron pickets at
the imminent risk of body and
raiment, had clambered to the sill
and stood there poised like bird
about to futter down from tree
branch. His knees were crooked
for the spring.
''Hallo, there! Go back, your
cried policeman.
A shade of panied annoyance
came over the climbers face.
"My good man, I'm Mr.. -"
Don't care! Can't come in; get
back"
The man became a trife en-
barrassed, but persistently held his
place. Still keeping his knees
crooked in their bird like position,
he fumbled in his pocket and drew
forth a card.

Situation in Southern China Causes
T5ts53 Alarm.
Washington, Oct. 16. Government
officials profess to be very much con-
cerned over the critical condition of
affairs in Southern China. They viii
not admit directly that they have ad
vices confirming the press reports that
an outbreak is imminent, but indicate
that they have no reason to doubt
that such is the ease. One Of the
most prominent of them said that
unless the International situation as
sumed more definite shape it would
hardly be possible to prevent an up
rising in the Yang-tse provinces. He
said that the viceroys of these prov
inces had succeeded against remark
able odds in holding the unruly ele.
ment in check, but they could not do
this much longer In his opinion the
initiation Of peace negotiations was
the easiest and surest way of stopping
the agitation, for as long as the gen
eral Chinese question remained un-
settled the empire
Would BE Purturbcd.
The government Is working jealous
" to bring about a settlement Of the
recent troubles, but practically no
progress has been made. Minister
Conger, as his telegram to the state
department shows. is not satisfied
with the action taken by Emperor
Kwapg Su to placate the powers. He
has indicated plainly to the DEPART
ment that the list of those Chinese
named for trial on account of their
participation in the Boxer troubles Is
not nearly complete, and this and
other advices from him lead to the
belief that he and his Diplomatic coll
leagues in Pekin doubt the good faith
of the imperial government in it's
dealings with the civilized nations.
