DREAMS That Are True.

 l dreamt I saw poor little Agui- naldo, November ', weeping and vail ing as if there was something radical ly wrong with him.
 I dreamt I could see Mckinley helping to form the four trust and standing ready to double the tax on tea for war duty.
 1 dreamt the city water was shut off one night, and big fire was rag ing and when they turned on the wa ter the pipes burst ill every direction.
 I dreamt we elected q meat dealer to go up to Hartford to represent US where the laws are made, and the very next morning the people had to pay one cent per pound more for their meat. Who says you must, not be- Heye in dreams?
 I dreamt the school officials pur- chased a beautiful piano for every school building in the district; but that woke me up.

COLLEGE HOCKEY LEAGUE.

New York, Nov 1.-The Intercol- lcgiate Hockey league will next week meet to determine upon schedules and membership. Cornell university has applied for membership in the league. If her application is accepted the membership of the league will include Yale, Princeton. Columbia, Brown and Cornell. Harvard wished to join the association last year. but could not secure the consent of the faculty. The faculty's objection may be overruled this season for a league With Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Columbia would certainly be productive of some interesting contests.

 The New Britain correspondent of the Hartford Times has this to say re garding the license question in his town: As predicted in the Times q month ago. the county commissioners | have. refused to reissue licenses for certain saloons in the northern section of the city. A year ago seven saloons were WGeded out of Myrtle street and vicinity and this year the weeding has been done in the North. Fremont and Elm streets. where tenement houses are crowded. Many of the saloon keepers in the central and business portion of the city have already ob- tained their Accuses. There will be at least six saloons less this year than last. Licenses are not being issued for saloons in baSements, except on Main street.

"fhe old rule of eight hours sleep IL
sheer nonsense" said New Orleans
physician. Natural sleep IL something
that can't be regulated by any formula.
The body takes what 1t needs, he 1t
much or little and the necessary
amount varies with the individual. In
u general way | would say that four
hours Is the minimum and ten hours
the maximum for people In fair health.
Either more or less Ia n pretty sure
sign that something is out of gear
usually something In the brain.

four hours and keep In tolerably good
condition. Roth are middle aged men.
and neither of them works very hard.
They are simply so constituted that
nature can repair Its losses In four
hours of Inconsistencies. In many
other people nearly three times us long
Is required. The nerve cells work
more slowly; why, nobody knows
1.-THE queerest ease that ever came
under my personal observation was
that of bookkeeper of this city who
used to sleep two or three hours a
night through the week and on Sun
day would catch up In 20 hour nap.
That is no exaggeration, but an actual
fact well known to all his intlmates.
He seemed to be able to store away
nervous energy as camel stores wa

or 10 years | knew him was excellent"

He recalled the web known fnct that
the Mexicans were cliQuish In muir
der. They fought mostly among them
selves, and he had familiar figures to
prove that so per cent Of the greasers
killed In that county had been killed
by their own kind.
The Jury acquitted Greaser Ike, and
Lem Hooley was feted with thumps on
the back and many rounds of drinks.
Bung Town staid up late to celebrate
the beginning of Its fayorite sons brill
liant career.
Well along toward midnight the citi-
Zens compelled Lem to tell how he
had made the arrest which brought
him his first case, and reluctantly he
broke the pledge which he averred he
had made to himself that day never
TO give away the trick he had played
on the crowd which stood around
Sheriff Cooley urging him to go in and
serve that famous warrant.
"It was a trick, only n trick, and |
thought of 1t because Bud Burgess, the
stage driver, had suggested 1t by his
remark that maybe the crowd IN front
of the store meant that | was to get

Thc Crescent.

The origin of the Turkish crescent Is
lost In antiquity. As the emblem of
progress and increase II figures IN the
warship of Astarte, the chief goddess
of the Phmnleian Pantheon, who UNI
der various names was adored by ev-
cry Semitic race. II Is not, therefore,
surprising that the crescent should be
the chosen emblem of conquering and
spreading people. The hordes of Gen
ghlz Khan carried 1t on their banners
from the great wall of China to the
Indus and the Volga in the thirteenth
century, yet these were Mongols and
enemies Of the very people with whom
the crescent Ii generally associated.
The Ottoman Turks, who FIRST got
lands In Asia as n reward for assisting
the Seljuks against the Mongols, seem
from the first arrival IN these regions
to have displayed the well known sym
Dol. 1t appeared on the banners of the
janssarles of the Sultan 0fkhan, In
the fourteenth century, and suisse
quently the erusades fixed 1t in the
eyes of Christendom IA the counter
emblem 10 the cross. II Is sometimes
held that the Turks borrowed the cres.
cent from the byzantine Greeks, but
this Is evidently not the case on the
contrary, the Greeks had probably at
an early period adopted II with other
religious symbols and ideas from the

Compare the condition of our people
with that which prevailed before the
aggregation of wealth and intelligence
in the development of industries. when
wealth was obtained by conquest, not
by industry, when the masses had meat
but once week. when their houses
were without chlmneys and without
windows. when their clothing and sur
roundings We're filthy, when the death
rate was double what 1t is today, and
you go back to a time when the nobil-
fly knew less OF the world than the Ia
boring man Of today; when the present
necessities of the masses We're Injuries
only for the rich. and you realize that
the emancipation proclamations were
written by Watt and Arkwright, Ste
phenson and Fuiten Franklin and
Morse and Ressemer and the great or
ganizers who have applied their dis
coyeries and distributed the benefits of
their inventions to the whole world

Professor Lawrence Bruner, whospent
the year 1898 investigating the grass
hopper plague in Argentina, says that
only Australia could match Argentina in
the singularlty of its life forms. 1t Is n
country where everything protects It
self. "The trees have thorns, the grass
es and weeds are provided with thorns
and sharp blades and herbaceous plants
are shielded with burs." Forests exist
where rains are scarcest, and natives
say that sometimes when heavy rains
fall the trees die from too much mois
ture Some birds, belonging TO the
same order as our waterfowl, avoid
water. Many Argentina birds possess
spurs on their wings.

A LAUGH IN CHURCH.

She sat on the sliding cushion.
The dear, wee woman OF four.
Her feet, in their shiny slippers,
Hung dangling over the floor.
She meant to be good-she had promised
And So with her big. brown eyes.
She stared at the meeting house windows
And counted the crawling flies.
She looked far up at the preacher.
But she thought OF the honeybees
Droning away at the blossoms
That whitened the cherry trees
She thought OF broken basket
Where, eurled In a dusky heap,
Three sleek, round puppies with fringy ears
Lay snuggled and fast asleep.
Such soft, warm bodies TO ouddle;
Such queer little hearts to beat;
Such swift, round tongues to kiss;
Such sprawling, cushiony feet
She could feel in her clasping fingers
The touch of the satiny skin
And cold, wet nose exploring
The dimpies under her chin.
Then q sudden ripple OF laughter
Ran over the parted lips
So quick that she could not catch 1t
With her rosy finger tips.
The people whispered, "Bless the ehildP"
As each one walked from nap,
But the dear, wee woman hid her face
For shame In her mothers lap.
