A SOLDIERS DREAM.
This Little Gem of Fiction Comes tc

This Little Gem of Fiction Comes to
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
tigued after n long journey, he fell
asleep, his head resting on the back of
the pew. While sleeping he dreamed
Of being seized rs n spy and after a
short trial was condemned and led out
for execution. The g%uillotlne 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 ut 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
dream supposed to be the knife Of the
guillotine. The shock was SO great II
killed him instantly.

THE WARRANT CAME.

80 They Took tho Woman From Her
Washtub to tho GaIlows.
The hanging Of q woman, which in
these days calls forth public protests,
was apparently n matter Of indiffer-
ence to u ~grandfathers and grand
mothers. 1t was in the nineteenth
century TINT a woman found guilty Of
some trlfing offense was sentenced to
death. BY chance the warrant for her
execution was not sent to the high
sheriff, and she remained In prison
for about three years, acting as u Jail
washerwoman and occasionally, as q
favor I'm acknowledgment Of her good
behavior, going out, as was then the
custom, as washerwoman to private
houses. But q clerk looking through
the home Office records found the war
rant that had never been dispatched,
and 1t was thereupon promptly for
warded to the sheriff for due process.
The woman was found by the turn
key at the washtub In a house in the
town = Aylesbury. "Well, missus,''
said he, "you are to be hanged. The
warrant has come at last, and we must
carry the sentence out tomorrow morn
ing at the latest" "Werry well, them
the wretched woman submissively re-
piled, II suppose I must CO." and, hay
Ing washed the soGpsuds off her arms,
departed with the official. She was
duly hanged the next morning, from
oil which 1t would seem that barely q
century separates US from a condi.
ton Of primitive barbarism.-London

Not Good Twice,

Lincoln's stories grew better and bet
ter as he grew older. One Of the best
was told to n visitor who congratu-
lated him on the almost certain pur-
pose on the part Of the people to re-
elect him for another term Of four
years. Mr.. Lincoln replied that he had
been told this frequently before and
that when 1t was first mentioned to
him he was reminded Of n farmer in
Illinois who determined to try his own
hand at blasting. After successfully
boring and filling in with powder he
failed in his effort to make the powder
go off, and after discussing the cause
with a locker on and failing to detect
anything wrong in the powder the
farmer suddenly came to the conclu-
sion that it would not go off because 1t
had been shot before.

WcKSBURG MONUMENTS.

Gen. G. 1. Walker, commander of the
Department of the Army of Northern
Virginia, U. c. ", has lately returned
from a visit to the Vicksburg ground
which Congress has made a national
park, and writes interestingly Of the
monuments erected on the ground,
showing the positions of troops of var
ious States in the battle. Some of the
wealthy Yankee States have built
monuments which cost 800, 900, and
even 5000, 600. Gen. Walker says that,
while South Carolina cannot hope to
spend any great sum Of money, the
State should erect a monument to mark
the participation Of South Carolina
regiments in the struggle. An excel
lent site, he says, has been reserved
for a South Carolina monument.

HE KICKS ON THE CASSEROLE"
Rural Editor Tells Why His Meal on the
Diner Proved Unsatisfactory.

1t was the pleasure of the editor in
company with a leading citizen of
Downs, last week to visit Kansas City.
1t was the first time we had ever had
the pleasure of travelling with a gentle
man of his prominence in the financial
and social world, and we enjoyed the
experience. He didn't know it, Tor if
he did he was too considerate to "let
on''), but the fact is we watched him
carefully, and tried hard to follow his
lead on matters of etiquette, and we
hope we didn't disgrace him.
The greatest difficulty we expert
enced was on the dining car from Kan
sas City to Chicago. We've often won
dered why walters stand SO close to the
chairs of guests where they serve meals
"a la carte" and we think we have at
last solved the riddle. 1t is to keep the
guests from falling off their chairs
when they read the prices opposite the
various articles Of food. Well, we man.
aged to call up a sickly grin and politely
requested the shade of our funny bone
to bring us a ''squab en- casserole"
We'd heard about squad, 30 concluded
that six bits was none too much for the
experience we'd get in eating one. The
squad was about the size of our baby's
two fists, and came on the table swim
ming in a lot of sour soup, which we
suppose was the Casserole" though
we didn't ask. The SQUAD made about
three mouthfuls, and then we were up
against it. We didn't know whether
the Casserole" was to eat, drink or
sop bread in; but, being hungry, we
used it like vegetable soup, and tried
to get u moneys worth. We had a
pot of hot coffee and some other things,
but the SQUAD is the thing we thought
most about. By the time the bill was
presented we had steeled ourselves to
look brave when the highwayman who
had charge of affairs presented it. 1t
doesn't matter how much the dinner
cost, but we want to say right now
that if the little Optimists are to have
enough potatoes and gravy to eat this
winter some of our delinquent subscrib-
ers had better dig up pretty quick
