bered condition was berg reprimsnded
by his employer. The offender in the

closed his eyes ard began to dream OF

sound. The butcher struck the sup
port several times In rapid succession
which caused the basket-sliDger to
open his eyes amid the greatest conster-
nation. He was several seconds COL

he had fallen asleep in the great bell at
Moscow and that it had been struck by
q Titan sledge-hsmmer, or that he had
been In the turret Of monitor which
had been struck by solid shot. The
terrible sound alarmed the bystanders
almost as much as it did the drowsy
porter, some imagining the hook and
ladder truck had been turned loose in
to the market. The butcher quietly
remarked that be allowed no one to 90
to sleep standing in his presence.

when they hear of the Democratic de-
feat that is to be recorded in the near
future.
The convention organized by elect
ing Burgess Victor Burschell chair
man. He made a short address, con-
graduating the Democrats on past vic
tories and hoping more would follow.
