PEOPLE SAY that free silver is no
longer paramount in interest among
Democrats, and predict defeat for
Bryan from the 'lukewarmness', of
his party followers; they urge that
the people are tired of the subject.
But there is another view of more
practical nature to consider. The
demand for free coinage of silver
has become a fixed principle Of
Democratic policy, and there is no
reason to struggle for its retention
In public view. The people under
stand that feature now 10 be party
principle, and, if they elect Bryan,
it will be upon the distinct UNDER
standing that the Democratic party
will inaugurate free silver legislation
Free silver has won its place among
the standard issues to be settled,
and if Bryan wins this election, he
and his associates will keep their
premises; if repeated declarations
count for anything against news
papers and politicians who prefer
dark methods of intrigue to Bryan
tactics ofcopen warfare in political
work.

THE MYSTERY OF DREAMS.
A Case In which the Coincidences
Were Remarkable.

Case In which the Coincidences
Were Remarkable.
On one occasion during the civil war
I dreamed that l was standing beside
a road when there came marching
along It strong column Of prisoners.
with guards at intervals on the tanks.
1 asked one Of these guards who the
prisoners were and where they had
been captured. He informed me that
they had been taken In an engagement
with the enemy on the day before and
that there were 1900 OF them. then
asked some bystander what day Of the
month 1t was and was told It was such
q day Of a certain month, some six
weeks later than the date Of the dream.
The whole dream was extremely dis
tinct, and 1t made strong impression
on me. related 1t to a number OF my
comrades within the next few days
and then thought OF II no more.
Six weeks later. on the morning si
the very day that had been mentioned
in the dream as the date when the col.
umn Of prisoners had passed before
me, was on picket two miles distant
from the point where had seemed
to be when saw them. 1t was soon
after breakfast. and was standing
by the side Of the road at the fire talk
ing to the officer Of the picket when ar
aid to the commanding general came
riding down the road. He had been q
schoolfellow Of our officers at Wes'
Point, and he reined up when he recog
nized his friend. He told US that ht
had good news; that there had been 4
sharp engagement with the enemy thu
day before and that our people hai
captured 1900 prisoners. who had Jus
passed the headquarters that morning
on their way to the reaR.-St Louii

when the Broncho Threw Him.
"Most Englishmen are considered
pretty fair horsemen, but when It
comes to riding bucking broncho some
of them are not in or on It for long,"
said the owner Of a large cattle ranch
In Wyoming to the writer the other
day. "For instance, rich young Eng
lishman recently came out to my part
of the country In quest Of some good
investment. He was at my ranch as q
guest for few days, and one after
noon as the cowboys were about to
round up n bunch Of cow ponies the
young man said that he would enjoy q
good ride in the saddle. He said he
was used to riding only thoroughbreds,
and he didn't think we had q horse
good enough for him. The boys con-
vinced him that they had one Of the
finest horses on the plains, and II he
knew how to ride he was welcome to
the animal. He was apparently In
suited when questioned about his abil-
ity to ride and answered that he could
ride any kind of horse. A sleepy

when the pony was brought to him.

after the first mile, and MILFORD got into
the saddle. The first buck jump placed
him on the horses neck. and after the
second he was in the atmosphere. He
turned double somersauit and land
ed on the sharp end OF cactus plant.
When he picked himself up. one Of the
boys asked what he thought OF the
thoroughbred now. The question made
the Englishman turn pale.
