WOMEN AND DREAMS.
superstitIon That Is rife Even
Among the Educated Fair Sex.

Among the Educated Fair Sex.
1t doesn't seem possible that In this
enlightened age superstition could he
rife among the educated, but there are
nevertheless a number of young WON
en- who converse fluently, If not elo-
quently, In three languages, and who
read Spencer and Browning and Emcr-
SON but who place dreambook with
their Bible on the table beside the bed
and consult II In the morning the first
thing
With n credulity worthy Of n negro
nanny, If their sleep has been visited
with unusual visitors they seize this
volume rs soon as their eyes are fairly
open and look for an explanation. If
misfortune IS foretold by 1t, the seeker
after knowledge assumes brayado

she says to herself by way of bolster
Ing up her courage. 81 am not super
stltious. anyway, and | don't believe in
such arrant nonsense" But she's nerv-
Gus just the same for days until her
troubles have driven this mythical one
out Of her mind.
There's one young woman known to
the writer who never dreams of
young child without shlvering and
shaking for days after in fear of some
dreadful thing happening to her She
has not consulted n dreambook on the
subject, aud so she doesn't know how
Infants and bad luck became connected
In her mind, but nevertheless, after she
has had a visit of this sort while sleep
ing, she says prayers of unusual length
and then makes up her mind to be pa
tlent under affections sore
She IL an intelligent woman, mind
you, but she doesn't attempt to explain
the terror tint besets her ut this par
tlcular dream. She doesn't call herself
superstitlous-o course no woman
does, not even the one who wouldn't
walk under n ladder but her friends
do and make light of her until she ex-
poses some fetch of theirs, when the
subject is carefully avoided afterward.

THE YOUNG GAMBLER.
He Had an Even Chance, but Fate
Was Against Him.

Was Against Him.
remember one handsome young fell
low whom 1 used to meet occasionally
on the staircase who captured my
youthful fancy. | met him only at
midday as he did not rise till late, and
this fact, with certain scrupulOus ele-
gance and neatness in his dress, ought
to have made me suspect that he was
gambler. In my fnsxperlence 1t only
invested him with n certain romantic
mystery.
One morning as | was going out to
my very early breakfast at IL cheap
Italian cafe on Long wharf l was sur
prised to find him also descending the
staircase. He was scrupulously dress
ed even at that early hour, but | was
struck by the fact that he was all in
black, and his slight figure, buttoned
to the throat In tightly fitting frock
cont, gave, fancled, singular melan
choly to his pale southern face.
Nevertheless he greeted me with more
than his usual serene cordially, and
| remembered that he looked up with
half puzzled, half amused expression
at the rosy morning sky as he walked
few steps with me down the deserted
street. | could not help saying that
was astonished to see him up 80 early,
and he admitted that 1t was a break In
his usual habits, but added, with a
smiling Significance | afterward re
membered, that 1t was IAN even chance
If he did 1t again."
As we neared the street corner n man
in buggy drove up impatlently. In
spite of the drivers evident haste my
handsome acquaintance got in leisure
ly and, lifting his glossy hat TO me
with n pleasant smile, was driven
away. l have a very lasting recollec-
ton of his face and figure as the buggy
disappeared down the empty street.
never saw him again. 1t was not until
a week later that / knew that an hour
after he left me that morning he was
lying dead In n little hollow behind the
Mission Dolores, shot through the heart
In a duel for which he had arisen SO
early. Bret Harte's Under the Red

The Disease More Prevalent than Ever and
Quite as Fatal. The Rest Treatment.
The grip has surprised the doc
tors and health authorities this season
by its rapid spread and by some novel
symptoms. While it spares nobody
il is proving especially dangerous to
middle-aged and elderly persons. In
many cases either a fatal onset of
pneumonia, or complete breakdown
of health and strength, is apt to fol
low an attack of grip.
The wise course for all is preven-
ton. BY wearing a Besson's Porous
Plaster on the chest and back you
protect the lungs from cold and chill
and with ordinary care) you are
safe from grip.
For those who are already suffer
ing from grip, or from the usual win

are sure and speedy relief and cure.

The regular biennial attempt is be-
ing made to tinker with the form of
ballot to be used at our general cleo
tions and the politicians are try
ing to get it changed to the
blanket sheet, and the candi dates of
each party placed by themselves so
that one mark will vote the whole
ticket. 1t should not go. The pro-
posed change would be far worse than
the present ballot. The ballot as now
constituted gives chance for the ex-
preston of independence in voting
that is healthy for the state, but not
especially SO for the politician it is
true The proposal to shift the names
of the candidates for each Office after
the printing of a certain number of
ballots is good one, and if adopted
would do away with much objection
that is now being urged against the
ballot in its present from, and prove
far better for the people than the form
desired by the politicians. We have
not yet gotten to the point where we
should discard the use of increasing in
telligence in the matter of voting.

The board of education seems to be
improving with the new century, en-
dowed as it were with a twentieth
century spirit. Last evening it decided
to stand by it's own past record on the
matter of vaccination, and would not
move theretrom particle. This was
we'll. and the board thereby showed
itssgood business sense. But the most
common dable thing the board did,
was to give a death blow to that most
senseless fad the vertical system of
writing. For this work it deserves
the thanks and commentator of ali
citizens and the Free Press wishes to
congratulate the members of the board
for this common sense move.
Another, good credit mark should be
given the board for it's act ion in the
matter of cutting down the time that
shall be devoted to home tasks 1t was
voted that the time for such tasks in
the sixth, seventh and eighth grades
be limited to one hour a day. This
was wise move. 1t should have cut
them out entirely below the 81 xth
grade.
The Free Press has been free in the
past to condemn the action of the
board where it believes that action
was detrimental to the best interests
of the schools, and it wishes to just as
heartily commend anything that body
does for the best intere SITS of the
schools.

lowing is a synopsis

Vaccination has caused falling off
in the attendance in the primary
grades, this being the most marked in
West Mankato, where the number
enrolled is A, number belonging 10
average attendance IA.
In December the total number be-
longing was l, 474 and the average at
tendance was 1.411. For January of
last year the total number enrolled
was l, $40, number belonging 1,374,
and the average attendance 1854.
Supt's Recommendations.
The remainder of the superintend-
ent's report was as follows:
1.-THE attendance during this month
was only slightly higher than February
of last year, the time of the diphtheria
scare. In fact, only twice since 1894
has there been so great falling off of
attendance. The reasons are at once
to be seen. Vaccination is chiefly at
the bottom of it. There are today 33
children still remaining out of school
by reason of refusal to vaccinate.
Resulting sickness of those who did
vaccinate, together with an unusual
amount of general illness accounts for
the rest. Certain grievances have
come to my notice, which, I believe,
deserve some consideration from the
board. One is the case of those child
rem who have been advised by their

HUBBARD'S LECTURE.

The lecture last evening by Ebert
Hubbard under the auspices of the
Citizens lecture committee, was fully
up to expectations and greatly en-
joyed by the large audience present, if
frequent and prolonged applause may
be taken as criterion. Mr. Hubbard
is pleasant speaker possessed of ready
wit, which cropped out continually
throughout his lecture. His lecture
was on "Books and Book Making, !"
but had principally to do with the
Roycrofters at East Aurora, near
Buffalo, N. Y. He presented his ideas
as to the conduct of industrial matters
and the treatment of employees by en-
ployers and his keen witicisms and
sharp sarcasm cut deep at many of the
evils which face society today.
