william e. Russell was once a
member of the First Corps Cadets,
and when he was governor took par
ticular interest in his visits to the
annual encampment. No one was
prouder of the Governor than George
Washington Jones, colored gentle
man who had been employed to do
some meniel service for Mr.. Russell
when the latter was In college.
At one of the governors visits to
camp Mr.. Jones was also on hand,
and celebrated the occasion so ener-
getically that he was placed under
arrest over night, and made to "po-
lice," or clean up the camp grounds
the next morning. He smothered this
insult to his pride until he could at
tract the attention of the oficer of
the day, when he complained as fol-
lows:

Strange Things Seerl-ar
WDone while SloQPi18

That truth is sometimes stranger
han fiction is illustrated by queer
stories from that mysterious border
and lying between wakefulness and
he complete Inconsistencies of
sleep-the land of dreams.
In the witcheries of the NEGRO
nancer, dreams play their part; but
some of the strangest manifestations
IF them are in the realms of fact.
Murders have been revealed and
nurderers caught through their
agency; searchers have been led to
buried treasure; death has been fore
'old and disaster predicted. One man
not long ago brought upon himself
breach of promise suit because he
proposed to a woman while dream
Ing in her parlor.
A peculiar dream was that of Mrs.
l. r. Andrews, president of the 0ma-
ha Womans club, who located the
dead body Of her husband in the
Platte river, Nebraska.
Mr.. Andrews, wealthy lawyer OF
Omaha, recently went to a gravel pit
which he owned on Cedar creek, 100
miles from that city. to pay of en-
ployes. He was not seen alive again.
When the telegram telling of his
disappearance reached his home his
wife had already started for the scene
of the tragedy, having been informed
by q dream of his fate.
When she arrived at the gravel pit
she was told that her husband had
gone down the river the night before.
She insisted that, in her dream, he
had gone up the stream.
Parties were sent out in both d.
rections, and the body was found
up the stream, near where, in her
sleep, she had seen muffied figure
following her husband.
In two dreams on the two nights
preceding his start for California, a
couple of months ago, Clark Emil
Thornland, a retired Swedish mer-
chant of New York, foresaw his death
in a railroad wreck.
So vivid were these visions that
Thornland wept when he kissed his
daughter and grandchild goodbye.
Indeed, it was with difficulty that he
was persuaded to start. He said he
did not expect to reach his destina-
ton, and took with him only enough
money to pay expenses, believing that
If he took more he would lose 1t in
the wreck.

His Gentle Rebuke.

The turbulent blood of old Ireland
flowed in his veins, unless his rugged
countenance was in error. and 1t
could be seen that prosperity had
not weaned him of his short pipe as
he sat in the mems cabin of the ferry
boat Rutherford, says the New York
Times.
A package occupied the seat be-
side him, and as man full of his own
importance made for the place the
old Irishman removed it, leaving a
few drops of whitish liquid on the
seat.
els. that milk, sir?" demanded the
Important One.
Without a word the Irishman took
out his pocket handkerchief and wiped
away the offending liquid that had
COED from his package.
The Important One gathered his
overcoat about him and sat uncom-
fortably on the edge of the seat with
out any recognition of the courtesy
of the Celt. while the other commuters
watched the performance.
THANK you kindly, SIR" quietly re-
marked the Irishman, with just sus-
picion of twinkle in his eye. and
the Important One suddenly sought
the other cabin.

And so it was. The procession Of
the sand dunes began to show gaps
and open places. The hills grew less
tall and more regular of outline.
We're all right for water now," said
Sam. "See that little pile af rocks,
bout as high as your head, off to the
right down the creek? That's water
there, sure"
They now rode on more rapidly,
bearing Off toward the cairn which
made the water sign. All at once
Juan lifted his head, listened for a
moment, and then said, with positive
ness In his voice: ''Vacas!" C"cows;
sattle").
Curly Strengthened up in his saddle
as though electrified. "vacas? Onde,
Juan?-where's any cows"
"vacas! muchas." repeated Juan
carelessly.
Lots of 'em? Well, I'd like to
know where they are. my lily of the val
ley" said Curly, for once almost in
credulous. And then he stopped and
listened. Hold on. boys, listen" he
said. Look outlook out! Here

pattering, which grew into a rapid and
insistent rumble Cavalry, b'gad!"

shone.

fronts, over all and around all the
pounding and clacking of many hoofs.

headed up to the level that they might

which the first rank of the buffalo In
turn fell smitten of panic, and braced
back to avoid the evil at their front.
Overturned by the crush behind them,
these none the less served to turn the
course of the remainder of the herd,
which now broke away to the right,
paralleling the course of the stream
and leaving the wagons of the hunters
behind them and at their left. The
herd carried now upon its flank three
figures which chung alongside and
poured sharp blue jets of smoke into
the swirling cloud of ashy dust.
AT such range 1t was out Of the ques-
ton to miss. Franklin and Batter
sleigh killed two buffaloes each, losing
other head by reason of delivering
their fire too high up in the body, a
common fault with the beginner on
bison. Curly ran alonside good cow,
and at the third shot was able to see
the great creature stumble and fall.
Yet another he killed before his revol-
yer was empty. The butchery was
sudden and all too complete.
The hunters looked at the vast
bodies lying PROSTATE along the
ground before them, and felt remorse
at their intemperance.

Albert Bowden, of Orrington,
Maine, runs a small sawmill near his
home, and in it Is one of the old-fash-
Toned up-and-down saws. He also
keeps a few cows, and 1t has been
customary for his wife to do the
churning while he was engaged Mt
the mill.
Mrs. Bowden, however, recently
went on strike, and informed her
other half that he must churn that
week. He therefore took the churn
to the mill and attached it to the
gearing of the up-and-down saw. Then
he started the water wheel, and soon
had an up-to-date piece of machinery
in every particular.
Noticing that things were moving
smoothly, he attended to some other
duties, until his attention was called
to the churn by "chug-chug," and.
looking that way, he saw buttermilk
scattering about, and on reaching the
machine was just in time to see the
bottom go out of the churn and his.
weeks butter go into the mill pond.
He surveyed the ruins a moment.
then went to the door, and, calling to
the house, said: wife, I've churned >.

wife looked them over and told him
they were "all cotton, and no half

"They are" said Hoyt.
"Well, what is the other half?"
THAT is cotton, too"
Some time afterward Hoyt's store

were supposed to have been dropped
by him into box of suspenders while
he was showing prospective buyer
the stock, and that the next pair of
suspenders he sold he sold the keys
with them.

said weren't good enough. Seeing
that she was "fussy," the clerk said

the ponies came on with what seemed
an effect of tossing sea of waving
names and tails, blending and compos-
ing with the deep sweeping feather
trails Of the grand war bonnets. Red
brown bodies, leaning, working up and
down, rising and falling with the mo-
ton of the ponies, came into view,
dozens of them-scores of them. Their
moccasined feet were turned back un-
der the horses bellies, the sinewy legs
clamping the horse from thigh to
ankle as the wild riders came on, with
no bride governing their steeds other
than the jaw ropes single strand.
The Indians came on, close up to the
barricade, where they saw the muzzles
of four rifles following them steadily,
sight which to them carried a GER
tain significance. The mingling,
shifting line, obedient to some loud
word of command, swept up near to
the front of the barricade, then came
to a sudden halt with half the fore
feet of the ground. The ponies
shuffied and fidgeted, and the men still
yelled and called out uninteliigible
sounds, but the line halted. 1t parted,
and there rode forward an imposing
figure.

barbaric flnery of his race, his body
nearly nude, his legs and his little
feet covered with bead-ladeN buskskin,
his head surmounted with a horned
war bonnet whose eagle plumes
trailed down the pony's side almost to
the ground, this Indian beadman made

Immediately to be despised. He sat
his piebald stallion with no heed to
its FESTIVE prancing. Erect, immo-
bile as statue, suck was the dignity
of his carriage, such the stroke of his

the barricade sank lower and gripped
his gun more tightly. This was per
sonality not to be held in any hasty
or ill-advised contempt.
