Was ,Jpst m Dream.

Some old fellow over at Fort Sill
who has been In this section of the
country for a good many years once
dreamed that there was an Indian
massacre on the summit Of Signal
mountain. He afterward began to tell
that dream, and at length told the sto-
ry for the truth. That dream has gone
down In history as an actual fact.
There never was a massacre on this
mountain, nor even n battle of any
sort. In early days, after the establish
ment of Fort Sill, the soldiers had a
signal station there, built the house
that Is now crumbling In ruins and
possibly observed the maneuvers Of
many Comanches."-Lawton News

Hot Water.

Nothing is better to take on rising
b a cupful Of hot water. One hot
drink on an empty stomach clears the
system for the day, and for many per-
sons a tablespoonful Of lemon Juice in
creases the efficacy. Taken on going
to bed without lemon, 1t will help to
induce sleep. Both night and morning
1t has the effect of helping to clear the
complexion.

came more ardent. He ever went TO the
extreme Of departing from the routine OF
the funeral lunch, ordered more ham and
sliced sausage, more pot cheese and Swiss
cheese, coffee and bread ,'hot beef and Pill
sener. all at his own expense,
Such action aroused Mrs. H0rringer,
and she managed to until she
wa opposite the widow and her CONSIDER.
"volkmann, it's time to be going, shes said
sharply.
He regarded her as though she was one
whom he had known in the distant past but
did not now recognize.
II will go now, Volkmann, she continued,
raising her voice.
Still he looked at her, and the widow
looked also.
4volkmann," the voice was menaoing,
come along with me-"
Then he spoke softly, but sternly:
Anna, shame you! Would you cause
trouble in an hour of sorrow? Would you
add to the woes of a broken hearted widow?
Shame you! I was Hauser's friend. will
not see his widow sorrow IL | can help IL.
Shame you ! will protect to the best OF
my ability. I will see 40 harm comes to
her"
The tone was dramatic, and at the climax
he rose in a protecting attitude, so that all
could see as well as hear.
Mrs. H6rringer was subdued. Mrs.
Haiiser had again been victorious.
Voikmann rode home in the first carriage
with Mrs. Hauser, Mrs. dip, much against
her will, making place for him.

BIG STURGEON COMES TO TOWN.
An 8 IL FOofer Weighing 800 Pounds
Added to the Auuarium's Collection.

The Aquarium has now the biggest stur-
geon ever shown here, this specimen meas
uring 81 feet in length, while its estimated
weight is placed at fully $40 pounds. This
big sturgeon was taken in a pound net in
the bay back OF Sandy Hook.
1t has been placed in the Aquarium's
great central pool, where it has for com
pany, among other fishes, -four other stur-
geons ranging in length from aH to 7 feet
each, In a tank on the gallery tier is a
lively little sturgeon 1 foot in length, so that
now the Aquarium has a varied assortment
Of these striking fishes.
The little sturgeon on the gallery was
eight inches In length when brought in, two
years ago. The sturgeon no doubt grows
faster in freedom, where II can find its nat
ural food and have room for exercise, than
In captivity. The sturgeon is supposed
to live to an age of from so to Is years. 1t
attains a length Of IL feet.

it was reported from Germany that Hor-
ringer was dead. There were some who
laughed at the report and insisted that
not the case when he lived with Mrs. Hor-
ringer. He had been divorced. n an

With Mrs. Horringer was Volkmann, one
of the best acquisitions a funeral could
have, for he was skilled in consolation n
versed in the many details that pertain to
the higher forms Of funerals, and he was,
furthermore, of striking appearance. The
widow noticed neither OF them, and the
man felt himself crushed. For once he was
silent in company.
Instructions, however, were given that
he ride in the last hack with Mrs. Horringer.
They were not noticed at the cemetery, nor
were they noticed when the party started
toward the restaurant for the post funeral
lunch-the schmierkase party always held

TINE FUNERAL OF
l. HERR HAUSER.
Frau Hauser Buries Her Husband
and Settles an Old Score at the
Same Time.

Frau Selma Hauser was bowed with
grief, That is, she was bowed as much as
her habitual dignity would permit. She
was not accustomed to being a widow.
As she told Mrs. Hanf, who lived in the
rooms opening on the airshaft, this was the
first time. So she grieved. =
II was not for Hauser, who was worthless
ard had not done right by her; but widows
must mourn or be hopelessly out of the fash
ion. Sc she mourned because she was q
widow and made the most Of it.
As visitors entered she wept spar1ngly
when questioned by each, so there would DO
tears enough to go around. circumstances
had made hor economical in all things and
yet ready for all emergencies.
All, Hauser, poor Hauser!' SAID MIS-.

missed by the singing society, though his
voice was a loud one rather than a true bass.
But he will be missed -
He will be missed elsewhere answered
the widow coldly.
The women, in days gone by, had been
rivals for Hauser, and unfortunately Inc
one who was now his widow had won. But
Mrs. Horringer had ample revenge, for after
Hauser was safely married she made him
fall in love with her, then scorned him.
Now, she felt the widows scorn, and
pretended not to notice 1t. She noted,
however, that the mourning dress wa me
made over black grcsgrain which Mrs.
Hauser had worn at the last public OK
hihition Of the singing society. A few
crepe drapefies completed its effect.
"You will be lonely, said Mrs: Horringer,
