comfortably all night. Well, when he

dream, and, having so many other
things to tell after his strange adven-
lures, he has never before had chance
to tell any one about this dream.
1t seems he dreamed that he was the
snail that used TO live in the shell, and
he did all the things that the snail
used to do, and, in fact, lived the whole
life OF the snail in one night
First, of course. he dreamed he was

SHE HAD HER WISH.
Little Girl Granted Distinction She
Hankered For.

A little girl who had noticed on
several houses about the city the
cards by which the board Of health an.
nounces the presence OF contagious
disease asked her mother what they
meant. Her mother explained and
the child said, regretfully. we never
have anything like that on your
house"
You would not want II, would you?"
said the mother.
Yes, would" replied the little
girl, decidedly.
Some weeks afterward the little girl
was taken sick with chicken-pox, but
was lot confined 20 her bed. On
Sunday morning the mother noticed
that people passing on their way TO
church turned 70 gaze al the house and
always went away laughing. Her
curiosity was aroused and she went
to the front parlor TO investigate. In
each Of the front windows was a large
placard made, evidently by the little
daughter from the side OF a paste
board box. On the cards she had
printed: Il have got chicker-pox

queer house it was that he lived ina

had one long and beautiful hall of

that every place he went he carried
