workingman who told his wife, on awak.
ening one morning, curious dream
which he had during the night. he
dreamed that he saw coming toward him,
in order, four rats. The first one was
very fat, and was followed dy two lean
rats, the rear rat being blind. The
dreamer was greatly perplexed as to what
evil might follow, as it had been under
stood that to dream of rats denoted
calamity. He appealed to his wife con-
cerning this, but she, poor woman, could
not help him. His son, who heard his
father tell the story, volunteered to be the
interpreter "The fat rat" he said "is
the man who keeps the saloon you 60 to
so often; the two lean rats are my mother
and me; and the blind rat, father, is your.
self."-Selected.

His Reference.

In the course of a conversation between
two men at the club last night one of
them jokingly remarked that man with
"cheek" could get anything he desired,
and he backed up his statement with the
following story:
One of his friends, a merchant, had
advertised for porter. A big, burly
Irishman applied for the job. After
looking him over the merchant was
satisfied with his appearance. The only
objection was the question Of references
and the Irishman did not seem to have q
very good one. "Can you get no better
reference than this?" asked the merchant.
"Oh, yis, sor. kin git ye the very best
kind of wan if that's all ye want, sor
