Well stuffs off, said the young man
and he went down street and bought an
ice cream soda and wondered how the
dream started.
Thursday afternoon a man and a
woman carrying by turns a baby girl
two or three years old were making a
tour of the state house. They grew
tired while on the third floor and de-
cided to take a rest.
In front of the elevator on that floor
IS placed large straw mat for people
who have muddy shoes. 1t was dirty
and dusty, but those elements of un-
happiness for mankind held no terrOrs
for the family. The husband stretched
himself out on the mat and was soon
half asleep. Soon his wife Joined him.
and with the baby between them they
slept to all appearances comfortably
for half an hour.
They were awakened by some rude
men who laughed at them, but they
were not particularly abashed as they
stepped into the elevator for their first
ride
The elevator started, and as it did
so the woman threw both arms around
her husbands neck, and in this atti
tude they rode up and down the ele-
vator making three or four trips, to the
great delight of people who gathered
along the shaft to watch them.
When Gar Alexis of Russia was
crown prince he made a tour through

The Pittsburg Tribune says: After
the battle the wound rerceived by
Captain Watson was reported in the
dispatch of that date from General
Otis. 1t was reported as a moderate
wound in the foot. but his friends
feared its effect, knowing it was
miraculous if he was wounded in the
foot without shattering the bones.
Their fears have proven justified.
The brave officer was removed to the
first reserve hospital in Manila and
Mrs. Watson was summoned Twenty
days after the wound was received the
doctors announced to her that there
was no longer any hope of saving the
foot: that it had become a question of
saving his life, and amputation would
be resorted to. The amputation was
made April 27. Her letter was dated
May 4, and announced also that the

then supposed to go home and sleep.
He had a peculiar system, as he was
always out on the streets by 10 o'clock
in the morning. That was evidence
that he got little extra sleep.
Two of the regular policemen decided
to catch the special mapping. About
o'clock one morning they found him
stretched out on the floor of one of the
booths full length. They secured his
star and club without waking him and
left. A little later one of them went
to the booth and pounded him on the
feet with his club.

The first day of the street fair a young

lawyer remembered her as a friend who
used to live next door to him. She said
that she had come to attend the fair
