A SOLDIERS DREAM.
This Little Gem of Fiction Comes to
Us From France.


Us From France.
A French soldier who had been away
from home for several years returned
Unexpectedly to his native town. The
day of his arrival being Sunday, he
went to the village church, believing
his wife would be there, and he thus
could see her the sooner Taking a
seat near the door, he waited until the
service was over.
While waiting, being very much ia
dgued after a long journey, he fell
asleep, his head resting on the back Of
the pew. While sleeping he dreamed
Of being seized as a spy and after a
short trial was condemned and led out
for execution. The guillotine had been
erected, the army stood ranged about,
and all the preparations were made as
impressively as possible. The con-
demned man was placed in position,
and the last act in the drama was at
hand.
Just at that moment his wife was
passing down the aisle Of the church
on her way out. She recognized her
husband and in order to awaken him
tapped his neck playfully with her fan
as his head was thrown back on the
seat. The contact Of the fan he In his
1ream supposed to be the knife Of the
yuillotine. The shock was SO great it
killed him instantly.

pressure upon follower at the other
end of the lathe brings cutter to
