DREAMS WHICH HAPPEN.
A Robbery That WINS Witnessed bs
Woman During SIeep

A lady spending the summer in the
country, some 20 miles from her city
residence, dreamed that the latter was
robbed, she herself being a witness of
the robbery. Ia her dream she saw two
men, one Of whom limped, in the act
of rummagtng some trunks in the hall.
A candle stuck by means of it's own
wax on the newell post Illuminated the
scene with dim light.
After finishing their work with the
trunks the men went up stairs to q
closet, from which they removed cur
tains and hangings stored for the sum-
mer months. The dreamer observed
that they overlooked her most valuable
curtains, which had been placed well
back on upper shelves.
Suddenly she seemed to be transport
ed to her birthplace at Auburn, n. Y.
where she especially noted the bronze
figure of an Indian which surmounts
the prison ediflce.
At breakfast the next morning she
related her vivid dream to those pres
ent, five of whom are now living and
vouch for the fact. Subsequently it
was found that the city house had been
entered and robbed. On the newell post
were the marks of the candle. The
curtains had all been taken but the best
set, which were found where the dream
er had seen them.
Suspicion was directed to a painter
who had been at work on the house,
who was lame and who disappeared
Immediately after the robbery. Inves-
tigation of this mans character showed
that he had served n term in the Au-
burn penitentiary.-Hea Culture.

There was much difficulty in intro
ducing the potato into France. 1t was
only toward the end of the reign of
Louis XIV that it began to be used.
The learned had opposed its introduce
ton Systematically, saying it produced
leprosy, and the common people re-
fused to test it even on their live stock.
A trick at last established it. Fields
were planted all over France with po-
tatoes and carefully guarded until the
tubers were ripe, it being given out
that these fields were growing a new
thing specially for the king and that
trespassers would be prosecuted. Now,
the laws at that time were severe. A
man might be hanged when he hunted
in the wild forest, for the game was
the seigneur's, almost each one of
whom kept his private gallows. Tres
pass against the king implied. there
fore, terrible punishment.
The danger of the punishment proved
Itself an alluring bait. AS the contriv-
er, wise in foresight, had seen, the
fields that were purposely left unguard-
ed were pillaged right and left, the po-
tatoes eaten, some kept and planted
and the tuber at last effectually intro
duced in France.

BIG ENOUGH TO HIT.
So Thought the Small Boy, but the
Man Thought Differently,

He wasn't very big, but he was a
sturdy little chap with face that bore
the marks of much thinking and pre-
mature responsibility. l learned after
ward that he was supporting a crippled
mother and an invalid sister who had
been left helpless in the world by the
death of her father He might have
run away from home and cvaded the
responsibility, but he didn't think of
IT. He just sold papers.
At the loop on Fifteenth street n
crowd was gathered, waiting for the
evening cars. ragged young girl was
selling flowers at the Fifteenth street
end Of the waiting station when n man.
rushing to catch his car, Knocked her

ticed what he had done, he continued
his rush, when the boy stepped in front
of him defiantly.
"Say, what do you want to knock n
girl down for? Hit me. I'm big
enough"
The man paused in surprise and then
glanced around. lie saw the flower
girl picking up her wares and under
stood. Without a moments hesitation
he went back to her, gave her enough
money to make her eyes sparkle with
JOY and said:
I'm sorry, my dear, that l hurt you.

he continued: you said you were big
enough, yovSig man, but you're n great
deal bigger than you think. Men like
you will have a lot to do with keeping
this old world in a condition of self
respect"
Then he caught his car, and the boy
and the girl stood there wondering
what he meant.-Denver Times

IryinR's Intensity,

effect of making a fellow actor alto
gether forget that he was on the stage
at all. 1t occurred in Manchester dur
ing a performance of Macbeth" and
in the scene where Macbeth says to one
of the murderers, There's blood upon
thy facet" Irving put so much earnest
ness into his words that the murderer
forgot his proper answer C"'Tis Ban

voice: as there? Great Scott" He
fanced, as he afterward said, that he
had broken a blood vessel. - Ledger

and seems quite unconscious of your
presence. At length he says in a tone
of grave dignity, zee saku bona" q

same way. The longer he takes to "see

you must keep silent and appear as

clouds that it was almost dark. The
wind blew fiercely, and waves dashed
against the mole in Pirnus. and the

trance to the harbor already showed
their red and green fires. At their

AS the promontory extended out into
the archipelago the shore was more
abrupt and the Jagged rocks along the
beach more dangerous. The little rib
bon of sandy beach was narrower, too,
and more shelving. Miltades went
farther and farther toward the point in
pursuit of the shells he found and for
got that it was past the hour for the
turn of the tide. The wind did not
reach the sheltered beach, and he was
all unconscious of his danger until he
found thata wave broke over his feet.
Then lie started and ran as his feet
had never run before. But, swift as
they were, the waves were svifter,
and the rocks were so high that he did
not even try to scale them. His only
safety lay in rapid flight. If he could
only reach the shelving place where he
had come down! He threw away
his basket of shells and ran, but the
tide rose faster, and the water hinder
ed his progress. Then he stepped into
a sunken place between two rocks and
went down, striking his head at the
same time against jagged point. lie
lay still then, and the water rolled
over him.
Little Demetrius on the hill had seen
all this and almost as soon as his
friend had fallen was there wading up
to his waist to rescue Mitades. But
the waves dashed over the unconscious
boy, and he was heavy-heavy as lead
and at last Demetrius, too, lay still,
with his arms around Miltiades, their
dark eyes closed and their curls float
ing with the water.
At this moment one of those fishing
boats peculiar to that country came fly
ing around the point as if pursued by
all the furies, and she rounded to un-
der the shelter of the promontory in
the deep, smooth water. One man
sprang into the water with a line in
his teeth and with a few vigorous
strokes reached a point where he could
wade. He started toward the jagged
rocks to make the line fast. Then he
gave n great cry and hastily passing
the blight of the rope over the rock that
had often been used for the same pur-
pose before he stopped and lifted the
two boys out of the water. captain!
Captain! Come quick! My Dimitri!
Little Dimitr is drowned, and so Is
Miltiades, the widows son." But few
minutes passed before the two boys
were on the fishing boat being treated
to all the rough and heroic measures
usually taken to restore the nearly
drowned to life.
After an hour of such treatment there
were signs of returning life in Militia
des, and after awhile he was nearly as
we'll as he had been before, save for n
bruise on his forehead. But little De-
metrius lay in stupor for hours even
after he had been taken home to his
mother and no one expected that he
could live. His mother sat in fearless
grief holding him while his father
strobe up and down outside of the
house. He could not bear to see his
boy die.
After awhile Miltiades forced his
way in and in his despair cried: DE
