Weakening one morning, curious dream
which he had during the night. He
dreamed that he saw coming toward
him four rats. The first was very fat
and was followed by two lean ones, the
rear one being blind. The dreamer was
greatly perplexed as to what evil might
follow, as it is generally understood that
to dream of rats means calamity. He

was told the following: eff you will

how the land will produce" Taking a
few cucumber seeds they stepped into
the garden. The farmer instructed the
gentleman that il would be necessary
for them to run as coon as he dropped
the seed. OF course the visitor did not
comprehend the situation, but when the
farmer dropped the seed and covered
them and started to run for tile house,
the visitor stood amazed. Noticing the
ground moving he started also, but alas,
too late Before he could reach the
fence the vines had wrapped about him.
His first thought was Of his knife to free
himself. But in reaching to his pocket
he found large cucumber completely

THAT FULL DINNER PAIL.

The working men of New York who
were persuaded to vote the republican
ticket in 1900 by the vision Of the "full
dinner pail" are doing considerable
thinking these days. The New York
World gives small hint of the situa-
ton when it shows that in one year the
price Of butter per pound has increased
10 cents, porterhouse steak per pound
has increased cents, sirloin steak 6
certe, rib roast cents, round steak 5
cents, chuck steak cents, leg of lamb
s cents, lamb chops s cents, poultry 5
cents, potatoes per barrel Is cents,
dried fruits per pound 4 l-2 cents. The
World adds that "the price of nearly
every other al ticle needed for the table
has gone mp Is to 20 per cent. Vege-
tables are much higher than they were
last year. The only reason given for
this is the prosperity of the country.
The men who fix the prices have de-
cided that the people have plenty OF
HloHcy anu atO "iiitiS " pay HoiC "
supply their tables" Doubtless the
people would be willing to pay more if
they had the money with which to do
it, but wages have not increase, and
every day the newspapers show that
the consumers of the country are ac-
tually suffering beca,tse of the exactions
OF the meu who control the necessities
OF life and fix the prices thereon accord
ing to their own pleasure.
