Another Dream.

it happened in this way: AT er
hearing an excellent paper on the
subject, read by one OF our local
Chautauquans, and shortly after

paleontology until bed time. | de-
cided to try Mr.. SIS method of
producing pleasant dreams.
He said press the point of con-
centration with your finger, think
some pleasant thought, and go to
sleep. Now that sounds easy; but
what kind of pleasant thought?
1 foaIy decided on our Thanks
giving dinner, pressed the point
of concentration and started my
think machine. Itwas easy enough
to think about that dinner, but 1t
must have been too pleasant, as L
couldn't go to sleep while thinking
about it. Well, I soon got tired
of lying awake thinking about
mince pie and the like, so | let my
thoughts wander.
However, l must have forgotten
to quit pressing the point of con-
centration, for in short time a
little pig walked out of my sleeve
and sat down on my finger. l had
never seen so small a pig before,
and was Immediately possessed of
a desire to examine that one as it
was a species that certainly was
unknown to science. tipped
him off from my hand and grabbed
for him, but he side stepped me
saying. don't touch me, for l am
a geni." [ wouldn't believe him
because there is nothing magical
about my electric light, and | had
not rubbed it that night any way.
He must have read my thoughts,
as he straightway informed me
that he was the slave Of the point
of concentration, and asked me
what I had called him for. lasked
him what he could do. Sir"
said the pig, with me all things
are possible. How would you like
to take trip back thru time, to
the Miocene period, of which you
were reading this afternoon?"
Now, [ have often wondered
what this old world was like when
the first human being made his
appearance and, as man could
hardly have existed-at the very
earliest short time before the
Glacial period, the little pig
was giving me chance to view
the world at the very time when
the missing link-if there ever was
one-between man and the apes,
was the highest form of living
beings. (Paleontologists have dis
covered only few fossil apes of
this period, pithecus antiquis, dry
opithecus and mesopithecus are,
as far as l am informed, all that
are assigned to this period. And
none of them are higher in the
scale than the dog-faced baboon. }
I was not long in deciding to take
the trip, and was about to reply
when | experienced peculiar
sensation, and, looking around to
see what had happened, discovered
that I was in the topmost branches
of walnut tree, surrounded by
scenes the like of which [ had
never before seen. Aud my little
pig was nowhere in sight.
However, my eyes beheld SO
many strange sights while looking
for the pig that I soon forgot all
about him. There were oaks, elms,
beechs, naples, wych-elms and
walnut trees mingled with palms,
various kinds of laurels and hum
dreds of other trees which

the inner mar, and that whenever
he is so unfortunate somebody is
going to miss something.
An hour or so later the two en-
tered q restaurant and partook of
breakfast. With the air OF a man
of leisure, Hero produced one
dollar bill and handed it to the
waiter. Perhaps it was due to the
morning rush, anyway the waiter
soon handed Hero his change.
Fifty cents he should have received
mine dollars and fifty cents he
did receive, pocketing the same
with subdued whisper ''if," to
Dick. During the few minutes
that elapsed the companions
strolled idly along the sidewalk,
finally pausing to discuss the
present outlook. While thus stand
ing a runaway horse was visible a
few blocks distant, coming in their
direction. Without a thought for
consequences, Hero prepared to
stop the horse. With eyes alert,
and studied measurement, he
caught the bride rein and brought
the animal to a standstill. In the
carriage were two ladies each
threw purse to Hero, and after
profuse thanks drove away.
''Lucky mortal!' exclaimed Dick
as Hero counted the money, forty
eight dollars and fifty cents, and
they said call on them for ad-
ditional reward"
Now that fortune smiled upon
the companions they decided to
return the extra money received
from the waiter. "Well," said
Dick, II agree with you; we should
return the money; yet, it's rather
late to play the conscience act"
circumstances alter cases."
quoted Hero. "You see, the best
of us make mistakes and the
trouble is few experience the de-
sire to remedy their errors until
forced to do so."
Returning to the restaurant they
explained that an error had been
made, returned the money and de-
parted. About a block away they
were met by the waiter and two
detectives. Again they returned
to the restaurant and, after a few
words of apology, were free to re-
sumo their way.

OF THE PLOT
Six Men in Different Cities
Connected With Killing
Of Father Heinrich.
INSANITY TO BE THE PLEA.

Denver, Colo, Feb. 29.-Proof that
men in six cities Of the United State
were connected with the killing of
Father Leo Heinrich is alleged by
Chief of Police Michael Delaney to
have been found in letter written by
Giuseppe Alto to his son. This missive
was discovered in the cell occupied
by the accused man in Colorado
Springs.
Chief Delaney later declares that
half dozen men connected with the
supposed society had been arrested
one in New York and five in Pittsburg.
Dispatches from the Pittsburg police.
however, state that The men were ia
ken at various times in the past three
months on other charges and have not
been connected by any evidence with
the Denver assassination.
Whether Alto was a tool or a ring
leader in the Anti-Clerical Society, to
which, it is said, he belonged, Chief
Delaney says he has not determined.
Insanity will be the plea in defense
OF Alto, according to Baron G. TostI.

BASEBALL GOSSIP.

The Muncie Press sizing up the I.
O. league situation in that city has the
following to say:
The local magnateS do not look with
much favor upon the proposed trolley
league or the Northern Indiana Base
ball association which is being push
ed by Frank Banyon. of Button.
The local promoters do not feel like
eXpending $500 which would be re-
quired to place a team here, and the
probabilities are that Muncie will not
be blessed with league ball during the
coming year unless foreign promoters
take the matter in hand and put the
team in place. With the latter posi-
bility the Shamrocks say they are in
hearty accord and will not stand in
the way Of outside interests that may
desire to place the team in Muncie,
and further, they say that the local
base ball property would be disposed
of to the foreign capitalists at a much
lower consideration than it could be
newly placed.
1t was said this morning that should
the Shamrocks not take the Muncie
franchise, w. H. Watkins, Of the In
dianapolis American association team,
would take over the Muncie franchise
this afternoon at the meeting of the
magnates. Although no official CON
firmation Of the statement could be
secured, it is likely that Watkins will
have a representative at the meeting
and assume full control of the Muncie
end of the new 10. organization. The
reason that Watkins wishes to acquire
the local option is that he will have
many members of the indianapolis
team who will need 4 little seasoning

Wake of the Giants.

CONSISTENTLY, AND GIVES 1T
CREDIT FOR WORK,

New York, Feb. 26--Who will viii
the pennant next season? was tn,
question hurled at Johnny McGrav
last night while the Giants manage
was entertaining a crowd of baseball
fans.
Il hope we do" was McGraw's mod
est reply.
Who will if the Giants don't?'
was the second question hurled at ths
little manager. now that the CONVEX
sation had been started.
Now you fellows want me to com
nit myself on something l have never
| done since I became the leader of the
New Yorks," was McGraw's answer
after bit of a pause
You know we can't play baseball
and win remnants until the season is
on. The Giants for next season will
play good baseball or | am not a
Judge, and if they do this, why the
| other fellows have got to beat us.
1T would be arrogance on my part
to come out right here and say that
the Giants will win the title in 1908
don't know what is going to happen
between now and next October. All
will say now is that the team is bet
ter than last year and will be strong
err still before the season opens. Now
you can draw your own conclusions.
If you want to have it that the Giants
will land the rag, why have it that
way"
Then the conversation drifted to
the Chicago Cubs, and there was a
lot OF argument pro and con. Nc
Graw was a good listener until one Of
the fans who can see nothing but the
Polo grounds team, no matter how
good the other fellow may be, re-
marked that the Cubs were mighty
lucky to win the pennant last year.
II am going to butt in on that line
of talk" snapped the Giants manag-
er. They have been a little lucky, or,
rather, the Cubs may have been more
fortunate than some of the others of
us in having fewer players injured,
but let me tell you that the Cubs last
wear were about as fine a piece of
baseball machinery as ever represent
ed a city in the National or any 9th
er league.
ut isn't luck when a team can go
ahead and win as consistently as did
Chicago. That is good ball playing.
So give the credit to those fellows
out West because it is coming to
them.
Il am going to keep pretty close to
that Chicago bunch next season.
They are the ones that must be held
down. But, then, | am saying just
what I didn't want to. But let's wait
and fight for the pennant when the
season opens"

lean association. AS the new farming
law has gone into effect he wishes to
hold them together by placing them on
the Muncie lineup. This would as
sure the local fans one of the fastest
articles of baseball they have seen in
many years and as the Shamrocks are
willing to have another promoter step
in and take the local berth it is likely
that Muncie may after all see league
baseball.
The Newark, O., Advocate is happy
over the troubles of the |. O. League
1t says:
The Indiana-Ohio league is another
organization that is having more trou-
bic than it can well take care of.
Hamilton has dropped out because
they couldn't get a park, Muncie, who
had been counted on by the magnates
as certainty in the league has been
flirting and prancing around in the Ty
Cobb class of towns, and so up to the
present time there has been nothing
doing
Jessup of Richmond, the town that
was first considered for the Ohio State
before it was decided to make an all
Ohio league out of it, is the king pin
of the Hoosier-Buckeye aggregation.
Maybe Marion, Ind, or Delphos may
be induced to take the Hamilton fran
chise and land with the Van Vert,
Piqua, Richmond crowd. If they so
decide, a league of the smaller towns
may yet be patched up.

Howard Witt is also spoken of as

That this city wants baseball there is
no doubt, and Mr.. Williams thinks
that company can easily be formed

go here now that Two good business
men have been found who will back it,
No better advertisement for the boom
ing of Anderson could be designed
than d baseball club in the To-

Dial Williams will in all probability
be the local field manager and already
has his eye on a bunch of good players.
Williams is one of the best known base
ball men in the state and his ability
TO control men Is not surpassed by any
manager in the state. No better man

That Anderson is going to have ball
this summer in one of the best minor

The base ball fans are highly elated
at the outcome Of yesterdays meeting.
Team for Muncie.
After the adjournment of the meet
ing here yesterday the managers went
to Muncie. They first visited the
Shamrock Athletic club there. a small
organization which seems to have a
grip OF peculiar sort on the Muncie
press, and were turned down. The
Shamrocks stated that they thought
1t would be risking too much money to
go into the organization. They want
some kind of a penny league and are
thinking seriously of investing their
cold cash in a city fund. We advise
them not to do it as they might lose a
little. But the Shamrock's refusal
will not effect the 10. league. Jack"
Grim of indianapolis, representing
President Watkins. of the Indianap-
Oils Browns, will in all probability han
die the Muncie 10. league franchise. |
