Barker Has VisiOns.-The Hon. Whar-
ton Barker appears not yet to nave come
out of his trance. 1t will be remembered
that soon after his nomination for the
Presidency by the Mid-Roaders at Cincin-
natl last May he hurried to Washington
and was heartily congratulated at the
White House by the amiable Mr.. Mckinley,
and that ever since that time Barker has
kept a silence indicating clearly that ne
was In a hypnotic state. Having recoy-
cred the power of speech, he rises to re-
mark that his boom in the South is about
the biggest thing that section OF the coun-
try has known for mary a day. and that
he has assurances of its sweeping every
thing before it in Texas and Georgia. The
hopeful Barker's running mate. the cryp-
togramic Donnelly, is supposed to be rum
maging around the far West while the
head of the ticket is riding the raging
boom in the South. and 1t is expected that
Donnelly will be heard from as soon as
the news Of his chiefs performance reaches
him. 1t is remarked as an inexplicable
circumstance that Donnelly has made no
speeches in this campaign. or at least
none has been reported by the papers in
this region. II Donnelly restraints himself
through the campaign as he has done thus
far it will be one of the most remarkable
features of the year.

Mason Finds an O1ening.-The Hon.
Billy Mason at last has found something
to do. He is touring Southern Illinois
with the Hon Richard Yates, the Repub-
lican candidate for Governor, and as
Yates is very serious minded young
man 1t is supposed the rotund Senator is
supplying the fun as an inducement 10
get the crowds out to hear the guberna-
torial aspirant. Until quite recently 1t
was generally thought that Senator Ma
son would be too busy to make any
speeches during the campaign, but that
impression was dissipated upon his re-
turn from Alaska when he announced his
conversion to Mr.. Mckinley. 1t is sug-
gested that while in Alaska he for the
first time, had an experience with an ice
berg which relieved him of the idea he
hat entertained so long that the Presi-
dent was about the chilliest proposition
extant. But il appears that Mr.. Hanna
spurned the advances of the lllinoiSan,
and refused to permit him to go on the
stump for the National Committee Mr..
Hanna was greatly vexed during the last
session of Congress by Senator Mssons
course. The Illinois man went against
his party and the Administration on all
of the important issues raised. He is
fearful sympathiZer with the Beers. re-
fused to vote Tor the Oxnardzed Porto
Rican bill, and whacked the trusts when
ever the opportunity was presented. Nat
urally he and his friends thought when
he declared his intention to take the
stump for Mr.. Mckinley that Mr.. Hanna
would gladly assign him to duty. The rea-
son Mr.. Hanna refused to utilize his ser
vices was said to be :he fear that Senator
Mason would become excited and admit
in some of his speeches that the Admins
tration was wrong in a number of things.
However. the Senator is liable to do this
anyway, now that he is touring the State

have lived and wandered through hap
py hours and long,
Flower strewn, moss mats, shine and
shadow patterns,
Boughs which bend beneath the birds
singing Natures song;
Scented breezes blowing, ever filled with
scents of summer,
Petaled blossoms bending low clad in
garments gay,
Fairy folk in happy mood dancing mid
sunbeams spinning webs Of gold all the
perfect day.
Dreamland, Dreamland, in thy leafy tenn
have worshiped God and good many
joyous hour,
10th to leave thee for this world wide
awake but troubled
Raptured by thy calm content, perfect
ness and power:
Angel voices in thy choirs chanting
prayers and praises,
Loving friends of other days who had
gone before.
Clasp Of hands and touch of hearts true
and tried forever,
All our brightest and our best greeting
us once more.
There among them, best beloved, one
with eyes Of amber,
Face fair as any saint in that land
of calm,
Lips which blessed me with their touch,
hair happy halo,
Voice whose notes were silver toned
singing Eden's psalm;
Why should I return to earth from that
land of loving,
Why come back to earthly life with its
curse and care?
Dreamand is the perfect cline with it's
sunlit spaces,
Thither will I guide my barque, cast
ing anchor there.

A COOKERY COLLECTION.
Items of Information Pertaining to
Matters in the Culinary
Department.

In most families the one and only
way of serving prunes is stewed, but
they may be made into a number of
palatable desserts. Prune pudding is
made by lining an ordinary baking
dish with brown bread and butter
Have the prunes soaked over night,
and open them and take out the
stones. Fill the dish with The prunes,
cover over with another layer of brown
bread and butter. Beat two eggs with
out separating, add to them one pint
of milk; pour this over the mixture,
and bake in the oven for 80 minutes.
Serve warm or cold.
Prunes may also be soaked, the
stones removed, and the flesh mashed
with spoon, or cut into small pieces,
half box of gelatine added to each
pint of the prunes, and stir in, as the
gelatine begins to CONCEAL, either a
pint of whipped cream or the whites
of four eggs, beaten to stiff froth.

caramel or lemon sauce.
An unusual dish that is seasonable
is fried asparagus. The tender por-
tions of the stalks are cut into inch
lengths, boiled for about five minutes
in sailed water, drained, dipped in
beaten egg, then in bread crumbs and
fried in hot lard. Parsley, also fried
is served as garnish. A white or
Hollandaise sauce should be sent
around with the dish.
Very rich cream often shows par

because it is not sufficiently chilled.

WOMAN IN AUTOMOBILE COAT,
Clever Trick by Which She Film
PLANNED a Slow Street Car
COnducfOr.

The woman in the red automobile
coat handed the conductor a half-dol-
lar. After she had deposited the change
in her little green purse the. passen-
gers noticed that she gave a sudden
start. The other women in the car
thought that she showed symptoms of
a fainting spell. The man next to
her thought perhaps she had been car
ried several squares out of her way.
Presently she held up her finger. The
conductor yanked the rope and the car
stopped with the impetus of freight
elevator. AS she did not rise, the con-
ductor signaled ''Go ahead!" and then
came forward, says the Chicago Even
ing News.
MADAM, did you wish to get off at
that corner?"
"No'
''Then what do you mean by having
me stop the car? This amt picnic
bus stopping on the road for people
to get out and pick fowers.'
Excuse me, sir, but I gave you a
half-dollar."
"And I gave you the change, madam;
every nickel of it. I can prove it by
anyone on this carr
eyes, but wish my half-dollar back.
Here is another one"
''What is the matter with the one you
gave me? Counterfeit %
mo, SIR
"Plugged with plumbers lead?"
"Of course not!''
"Then what is the difference?'
"Why, it is Columbian half-dollar,
and I am saving them until they be-
come valuable"
'Hope you live that long!" and the
grumbling conductor fshed out the
contested piece from his pocket and
placed it in her hand. Then he took
the ordinary half-dollar she handed
him, and counted out As cents in nick
els. She got off at the next corner
When the car reached the terminus
the conductor discovered that the
woman with the Columbian piece had
done him out of As cents. 1t is a
brand-new game, and the conductor is
saying hard things about Columbian
half-dollars.

MONTANA BASEBALL CRAZY
Enthus1asm Over the National Game
Won a Professional Player
Wealthy Wife.

''They had the baseball fever in
Montana bad enough when I was out
there last fall, goodness knows" said
a commercial traveller to group of
friends in a Chicago hotel lobby the
other evening, according to the Inter
Ocean. ''But see by the papers they
have organized a state league, and if
that don't end in bloodshed I'll miss
my guess. The game was directly re-
sponsible for man marrying a wom-
an who was reputed to have 'scads'
of money, and what she lacked in
that direction was certainly made up
in beauty.

at times spectacular, and in baseball
and politics this is doubly true. L
saw $1,000 raised in Billings inside of
two hours to get club that could
beat the Helena nine in the closing
series for the championship, and in
the final and deciding game at He
lena, when, in the last half of the
ninth, with two men out and the score
a tie, the Helena catcher smashed one
of Roger uenzer's curves over the
left field fence for a home run and
thus winning the championship for
the capital city-why, say, baseball
enthusiasm never reached such q
pitch before.
"Men, women and children simply

barded with silver to the extent of
several hundred, but he got shoes,
suits of clothes, baths, shaves, and

that he run for governor.
"And now for the love story. Each
year the city and county officials at
Helena play series of games for the
benefit of the charitable institutions.
The county had for two or three years

tie strategy in order to retrieve their

before the concluding game new po-

daily practice of developing into a
frst-class pitcher. In fact, by the
time the game was over he was touted
as a candidate for faster company,
and, indeed, he could easily have held
his own, to my mind, in any league.
The way he famed those fellows out
was a caution, and the victory was
an easy one for the city, and of course
nothing was too good for him.
'Returning to Helena few months
later I learned that he had just been
married. It appeared that he had
been assigned a beat which entailed
an occasional visit to the opera house,
and one night he had rendered assist
ance to a lady who had become sep
arated from her party. This acquaint-
ance resulted in their marriage. And,
of course, while he was semi-profes-
sional ball player and might have
been technically termed a ringer the
national game was certainly respon-
sible for placing him in position to
win his bride''

Record of Fires in Theaters.

Curious statistics have just been
compiled showing the extent to which
theaters have been destroyed by fires.
According to them, 523 places of amuse-
ment were destroyed between 1777 and
1882 (the year of the famous catastro-
phe of the Ring theater in Vienna),
and of these 81 were burned twice,
three times and four times. Between
1851 and 1885 1872 theaters were de-
stroyed by fire, and the total of such
disasters since the beginning of the
century is 536. The loss of life in sew
eral instances was very great. Be-
tween 1876 and 1888 no less than 1000
persons lost their lives in four such
fires. 'These startling facts" says NJ.
