Once upon. time king in his sleep
dreamed that all Of his teeth fell out
before him. one by one.
He summoned soothsayer and ask
ed him to interpret the dream.
The soothsayer said, 20 king, the
meaning Of thy dream is that thy fam
lily and relatives shall die in thy pres
ence, one by one, till all are gone"
The king was very angry at that and
sent the soothsayer at once to prison.
Then he sent for another soothsayer
and again asked for an Interpretation
of the dream.
The soothsayer made answer, 20
king, the Interpretation Of thy dream
is that thy family and relatives shall
die, one by one, and thou myself shalt
outlive them all"
With this answer the king showed
approval and commanded that pres
ent be given to the interpreter, and
that he should be sent home with

the cases of speeches withheld for re-
vision there is an opportunity to have
them displayed on the first page of the
official report of the proceedings. This
is merely done by an arrangement be-
tween the senate and house by which
this privilege is about equally divided.
Senators and representatives who
withhold their remarks for revision
frequently inquire when they can have
the first page Of The Record, which is
generally reserved for at least a week
ahead.
The general rule is, "First come, first

SHE WAS PLAIN WITH HIM.

| Aunt Sally Gave the Minister Some
thing to Think About.
Two women in the early part Of the
last century lived in Virginia. They
were noted for their common sense,
and many Of their sprightly sayings
are quoted and enjoyed to this day.
They were both Methodists, and their
house was a place Of resort for the
clergy of that denomination. OF one
Of the women, known as Aunt Sally,
the following story is told:
She had black silk dress which she
was accustomed to slip on when she
attended church. 1t seems that once,
while conference was being held near
her house, a Methodist minister who
had enjoyed her hospitality and was
saying goodby ventuDed to remon-
strate against her use Of costly ap-
parel.

have been very kind to me and my
wife during our stay at your house,
and we appreciate your kindness. We
shall never forget it. But, my dear
sister, before parting with you I must
say that it has troubled my wife and
myself very much to see you dew
otee to the fashion of the world.
notice with pain that you wear your
silk dress every day to church, con-
trary to the rules Of our order, and I
hope that hereafter you will refrain
from such display Of worldly mind
edness. l also hope you will pardon
me for calling your attention to it."
"My dear brother" said Aunt Sally,
II did not know that my plain black
silk was troubling anybody. 1t hangs
up there behind the door, and as it
needs no washing it is always ready to
slip on when company comes or when
go to church, and find it very
handy.
But. my dear brother, since you
have been plain with me I must be
plain with you. Since you and your
wife have been staying here and my
cook have some days had to stay at /
home and be absent from church be-
cause we were doing up the white
dresses Of your wife that she might
look well at the conference. Pardon
me for explaining, and when you and
your wife come this way call again.

THE HAPPY TIME.

The man who cannot rest today,
But says he will tomorrow,
Finds, when his work is cleared away,
New tasks or sits in sorrow.
The merry time, the happy time,
The blissful day in view
Is never gained by them that wait
To triumph and to celebrate,
With nothing more to do.
The man who folds his hands today ''+-s
And contemplates with sorrow
The pressing task that's put away
Unfinished until tomorrow
Has neither rest of heart nor mind
For he that looks ahead
To duties long delayed destroys
The sweetest Of sweet leisure's Joys &c.
But borrows doubt and dread. "
The man who mixes work and play
At present and tomorrow
Keeps LIES poor little ills away
And finds new cares to borrow.
The merry time. the happy time,
The blissful day in view
Is every day for him whose hand
Is turned each day to fair deeds and
Who plays in reason too.
