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

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.
hgued after 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 gu1llotine 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
dream supposed to be the knife of the
guillotine. The shock was so great it
killed him instantly.

of this story: A witness testified in a
certain case that person named Mary
was present when particular CONVEX
sation took place and the question was
asked: "What did Mary say?" This
was objected to, and after some dis
cussion the judge ruled out the ques-
ton. An exception to this decision
was Immediately taken and on appeal
the higher court reversed the verdict
and ordered new trial on the ground
that the question should have been
answered. At the second trial the
same inquiry was propounded and
