A DREAM DROVE HIM CRAZY.

Henry Hasbrouck, Chicago
artist, went insane over a dream
last week. He had been sketching
at a we'll known summer resort for
some time when he had dream of
great beauty. He thought that if
he could transpose it to canvas it
would make him famous. He
taxed his brain and spoiled yards
Of canvas trying to recall the
vision. At last, as a result of over
work, his mind gave way.
He imagined himself the son of
God, and when an effort was made
to take him to the state hospital
defed the whole town. The off,
GERS finally got him aboard the
train, where he created panic
among the passengers. It is
thought that he will ultimately re-
cover.

Sergt. h. S. Pape.

One of the bravest men in the
service of Uncle Sam is Sergeant
HI. S. Pape, of the Second Engi-
neer Corps, U. S. ", and when, for
conspicuous bravery in battle, he
was awarded medal by congress,
all his companions rejoiced. He
won his medal in the following
manner:
Early in August, 1898, after the
surrendered Santiago, Col. Young,
then commanding the Second En-
gineers, detailed Sergt Pape and
twenty men to string a telegraph
line between Baiquiri and Guam
tanamo. One day they ran short
of poles, and Pape took six men
and a team of mules to go to a
nearby grove for some young CO.
coanut trees. He sent a man to
the left and one to the right as
flankers with orders to search be-
hind the numerous boulders for
the enemy, for Cuba was then full
Of small bands of guerrillas. The
scouts reported that the coast was
clear, and the little command
pushed on down into a hollow or
basin, on the other side of which
was located the grove.
Suddenly hell opened from be-
hind the rocks in front-a fire of
musketry, concentrated and terrific.
Two of the six men fell at the first
volley, and the rest of the COM
mand retreated to the shelter of
the rocks in the rear. Amid the
hail of bullets Pape lifted a
wounded comrade and bore him to
shelter, where they took what count
they could Of their hidden enemy
across the basin. It was supposed
that the second man who had
fallen in the open was dead, but he
was seen to move, and Pape, rifle
in hand, at once started for him.
He stood straight up, fair and
easy mark for bullet.
A swarthy face showed beyond
and an eye glanced along rifle
barrel. Before the weapon could
speak Pape's sent a bullet through
the Spaniard's head. Then he
rounded the rock and struck across
the open toward the wounded sol
dier. At every third step he fired
He was one of the crack shots Of
the army, and the bullets scared
the rocks close to the heads of the
lurking enemy. They had seen
their comrades skull split open at
$50 yards, and dared not expose
themselves enough to take careful
aim, but they answered the SER
geant's challenge with a succession
of volleys. Two of Pape's men fol-
lowed him.
They reached the moaning man.
"Pick him up, boys" said Pape,
"and I'll cover the retreat He
stood there facing the enemy's.
ambush. A Spaniard, drawer than
the rest, arose and fired, and the
bullet scratched Pape's arm. Then
an ounce of lead crashed into the
Spaniard's head. Pape retreated,
walking backward, while behind
him his two men bore their striker
comrade. Bullets tore up the
ground and splotched against
stones, but the magnificent nerve
and courage of the American, who
returned the fire with such adeadly
aim, palsied the enemy. Back
to their breastwork they went with
their burden, Pape standing erect
and sending one last messenger to
the Spaniards before taking to
cover. Then reinforcements came
and the guerrillas mounted and
took to flight. Col. Young recon-
mended Sergt. Pape for promotion
to commission in the regular
army, but the latter refused to &C.

haps, to the fact that visitors were,
present, the meeting failed to go
off with it's usual dash and spirit.
The papers read we're interesting,
but in the majority of instances
the readers rushed through their
performance so hurriedly that the
balance of the circle failed to grasp
their meaning.
A class report by member of
class G, entitled "Chivalry,' was
the first number on the prograla.
This was followed by a chorus by
the glee club, after which a paper
on the "Home and Family Life in
Germany was read by class D
man. This report precipitated a
good deal Of discussion, as usual
the Irish and German members
standing together against the bal
ance of the world.

Der on the program, following
which came class report on ''The
Relation of Poetry to the Study
of History" A vocal solo and a
special paper, "a Hard Old
World" by class G man, brought
the program to a close.
During the meeting, Miss Ripe,
who was present, volunteered to
sing few numbers, and was en-
Enthusiastically received.
The report of the critic wes both
interesting and instructive, ,partic-
ularly his short discussion on the
value of music. After it was ended,
the circle adjourned for another

CAPTAIN KIDD'S GOLD.

What is supposed to be an au-
thentic letter from Captain Kidd
was discovered by Edward Field,
clerk Of the municipal court of
Providence, R. l., while looking
over some old family papers a few
days ago. tits addressed to John
Bailey, Esq, Of New York, dated
from Boston, and is in part as fol-
lows:
II fear we are in bad situation
We are taken for pirates and you
must come to Boston as soon as
you get this; there is no one I can
depend upon. If I do not see you I
will tell you where my money is.
It is x X buried on X
X island in Boston harbor on the

tanning from Gl5,OOO sterling to

and diamonds. They are buried
about four feet deep with a fiat
stone on them and pile Of stone

as soon as you get this. If l am

and diamonds before you come, as
money will do a great deal for us"

matter and refers to many Incl
dents which have been found to be
historically correct. The words
which would tell exactly where
the treasure was buried are omitted
