REVIVAL BASED ON DREAM.
Chicago TribuneD


The preachers and people of the
Methodist church all over the country
are getting ready to open the new
century with what they hope to make
the greatest revival of religion in all
history. In preparation for the open
ing of that campaign the church pa
peFs are printing stories told by leaders
of the church of the most remarkable
reviVals in their experience. Among
these stories perhaps the most striking
is that of Presiding Elder T. A. HaT-
din of Chicago. The revival took place
in Ripley, o, when Randolph S. Foster,
now a bishop of the church, was the
junior preacher on the Ripley circuit.
Mr.. Foster was living at the time at
the home of Mr. Hardin'S parents. He
came down to breakfast one morning
and announced without preIiminaries
that I'VE are. going to have great
revival in Ripley this winter" Mrs.
Hardin asked why he had come to that
conclusion. Mr.. Foster went on to ex-
plain that during the night he had
had a dream. In his dream he was
walking across country TO keep an ap-
pOintment at Fitch chapel. On the way
he came to stream called Eagle creek.
In mis- dream it seemed to him that the
water had all dried up except at the
ford. There in a shallow pool was a
great swarm of fishes There came
upon him an overpowering desire to
catch as many of those fish as possible
He had an hour left before the time he
was due to reach Fitch chapel, and
with the means at hand he set to work.
Well within the time at his disposal
he had covered the bank with fishes,
there being so many that he was I'M
able TO handle them without help.
When he woke up he was in a fever OF
excitement. He felt himself called upon
as if by an inspired voice to renew his
Ia hoTS as a fisher q men
on the next Sunday morning Mr.
Foster told the story of his dream from
the pulpit. Elder Hardin, who heard
him, declares that he spoke as a man
inspired. That day marked the com
menCement of a great revival in Ripley,
during which more than 900 people were
brought into the church. And now
Elder Hardin raises the question
whether Fosters vision was an ordin-
ary dream or a revelation.

HOW BABY LEARNS TO TALK.
lsan Franciseo Examiner.l

(San Francisco Examiner
Professor Wundt, the German psy-
chOlOgist, has recently published his
theory of the development of speech
in children
In this development he distinguishes
three periods. The Hrst extends over
the first five or six weeks of the in
fants life, during which it utters only
inarticulate vowel sounds or cries.
In the beginning, these cries always
indicate cold, hunger, or sharp pain,
but before the end of the first week
they are called forth also by sHghter
causes, such as an uncomfortable posi-
ton.
In another month the child begins TO
cry from impotence and WEAKNESS.
and the first utteranCe of cries of
pleasure dates from the same time
Gradually the cries become more
varied and semi-articulate sounds like
ar" TO and "ka' are heard. Such
sounds for a transition to the second
stage of development, that of articulate
sounds which rapidly increase in num-
Der and variety.
Combinations like am "ab," AN
and "bu'' are used to. express a feeling
of passive comfort and enjoyment of
life.
Keener pleasure finds utterance in a
loud Growing sound which differs from
the cry of pain by its higher pitch and
shorter duration There is little further
change during the first year. New
combinations are added but they have
meaning, but are simply expressions of
states of feeling like the simple cries
that preceded them.
The same remark applies to the re-
peated syllables ''ba ba," etc which
usually are developed in the latter half
of the first year. These are usually ex-
preSsive of perfect physical comfort.
which seems to produce a sensation of
rhythm. About the end Of the first
year the child usually begins to initiate
sounds that it hears, and especially
words.
This tendency to echo sounds varies
greatly in different children. At first
the sounds are simply repeated without
any meaning being attached to them.
But the child gradually learns the
meaning of words and soon begins to
use them of its own accord TO designate
objects
Then it has entered offsthe third stage
and has become a real student of Ian
guage. It calls its parents mamma
and papa" and has names for all the
persons and things of its daily environ
ment. From this point progress is
usually very rapid. A girl who first
uttered a word with an understanding
of it's meaning, in her twelfth month
had acquired siXty-siX words in the
nineteenth and SeYenty-eight in the
twentieth month.
The speech of a child, up to the third
year or later is full of almost IN
recognizable corTuptions and of re
Implications which correspond with the
stage of development of its ideas and
form sort of universal language, for
they differ little in different countries

WON HIS BET.
CBaItfmore SUM

A remarkable record in the cOnsump-
ton of alcoholic beverages was made
Monday night by Joseph Evans, 20
years old, 231 North Montford avenue.
Seventeen glasses of whisky. two
glasses of beer and one of ''haIf-and-
half went down his throat in seven
minutes. The feat was done on a
wager, and although Evans won the
bet, he nearly lost his life.
According to Evans story, he and a
crowd of young men were in the saloon
of Nicholas ETteI, 619 duncan place,
about s O'Clock Monday night. Evans
boosted Of his capacity for drink
wheTeupOn one Of his companions, Ed
ward Burke, expressed d doubt as to
Evans being able to drink more than
any one else in the place. Evans then
said he could drink more than Burke
could pay for. The latter agreed, and
Evans consumed rapidly the drinks al
ready enumerated, which cost all the
cash Burke possessed. Evans friends
were congra tulating the young man on
his victory, when he suddenly Teeled
and fell to the floor. He was picked up
unconscious and taken to his home. A
physician was summoned, who applied
a stomach pump and administered
morphia, but the young mans cOndi-
ton was regarded as critical until yes
terday morning. when he was able to
sit I'D in bed and talk.
Evans is evidently proud of the rec
ord made, but says he has no desire to
repeat the experiment.

JUDGES KICK.
To the Editor Of The Herald:

To the Editor Of The Herald:
In your issue of Nov. 20 l notice a
decision by the county commissioners
to pay jSdges Of election So per day,
that is, from I a. m. to u p. M, and
one days pay for any number of hours
the canvass may require.
This decision was based on the rec
OmmendatiOn of the county attorney.
Mr.. Putnam says the statutes allow
only one days pay for seventeen hours
york. How ridiculous for any man to
suppose such a thing! The law upon
the subject makes eight hours a day s
work. And this law applies to salt
Lake county just as much as TO any
private corporation in the state.
# the stand taken by Mr.. Putnam
be correct. the judges Of election would
be justified in not commencing to can
vass until midnight. For the reason
that that would be the end of the first
da-.
Mr.. Putnam seemingly is not ac-
quainted with the contract that is
made with the parties acting as judges.
The contract specifically states that 80
per day shall be paid to judges of cleo
ton, and 80 cents per hour for canvass
ing the votes. There is no time stated
when the day shall begin nor when it
shall end. Hence the only alternative
is the law which says eight hours shall
be q days Ia Dor. If the law can be so
twisted that it viii only apply to GER
tain individuals, then I say such a law
should be repealed. I cannot under
stand why Mr.. Putnam desires to cut
down election expenses, unless it is his
last chance to make record for him
self. I am satisfied that Mr.. Putnam S
advice is wrong; and, as one who acted
as a judge of election, | protest against
it. And l call upon all those who acted
as judges of election to sign their war
rants under protest Then let the
! courts decide what is just and right
according to law. 5. s. NEWTON.
