WORKED WHILE ASLEEP.
Curious incident In the Career OF
Novelist Crockett.

S. r. Crockett. the novelist, told a
rather remarkable story of an incident
that befell him in his early writing
days, before fame and fortune had
come to him and while he struggled
on for living At that time he was
obliged to write for very small sums
indeed, and among the publications to
which he contributed columns and half
columns was the st. James Gazette.
a London penny evening newspaper.
One morning the postman brought to
Mr. Crockett a letter from the editor
Of the ST james Gazette containing
a small check as payment for con-
trilution Mr. Crockett knew that
nothing was due to him, that he had
been paid for all his articles. andre
ma-kabIe mamie did the check up in
an explanatory note and returned it to
the editor
The next day back came the check
from the editor remarkable man -
with a note saying it was due. The
st. James Gazette had published an
article from the pen of Mr.. Crockett
which had not been paid for; hence
the check. Again Mr.. Crockett-re
markab man = returned the check
and still the remarkable editor refor
warded it. this time with the article
cut out Of the columns of the st
James Gazette.
Now comes the curious feature o.
the incident. When Mr. Crockett clap
ped eyes on the article, he was aston
ished to find it one of his dreams
T. materialized One night. going to be-
extra tired, he dreamed that a goo{
idea for a St James Gazette column
had occurred to him; that he then an'
there sat down. wrote it and posted ii
Next morning he remembered hi
dream and made up his mind som
day to write the article exactly as b
dreamed he had written it. when. t
his establishment. came article an
check from the newspaper. Few writ
ers earn checks while asleep.

Cinnamon have a way OF tricking
hens so that they assist in the Matching

in an eggshell. which is then sealed
and placed under an unsuspecting hen.
In few days the spawn is warmed
into life, and the contents of the shell
are then cast into shallow pool, where
