A WARNING DREAM.
The Vision Lincoln Saw Several Time.
In His Sleep.

The Vision Lincoln Saw Several Times
In His Sleep. Z
Napoleon believed devoutly in
dreams as warnings or even as fore.
casts Of what was to come, and even
he who most prides himself upon his
freedom from superstition knows of
or has experienced at least one dream
that cannot be explained as a mere
result Of overlooking.
When we contemplate dreams and
their ramfications science can help US
but little in their explanation. Wilkie
Collins showed this to be so in one of
his most ingenious novels, "Armadale."
Warning dreams or premonitions may
be the result of natural laws which
we do not understand.
Lincoln was not counted supersti-
tious because he had some confidence
in the prophetic character of one
dream, at least, for It visited his sleep
on several occasions, and he spoke of
it seriously to members Of his family
and to his closest friends. In telling
of this vision he said he seemed to be
in "a singular, indescribable vessel,
but always the same, moving with
great rapidity toward a dark and In
definite Shore"
The dream preceded several marked
incidents during his occupancy Of the
presidential chair, notably before the
battles Of Antietam. Fredericksburg
and Gettysburg.
On the morning Of the memorable
14th Of April he informed members OF
his cabinet that he had dreamed this
same. thing the night before and be-
lieved that they were on the threshold
Of some momentous issue. So i'm
pressive were his remarks that his
auditors were profoundly moved, but
no seer among them could read thu
warning Alright and foresee the awful
news Of his assassination which should
be flashed that night to a stunned anf

BAIT FOR ~ALLIcAToRs.
The Way 4 Mexican Indian Gathers In
the Ugly Beasts.

The Way q Mexican Indian Gathers In
the Ugly Beasts.
A Pinto Indian Of eastern Tabasco
adopted a novel method of catching
alligators. The Indians weapons were
q harpoon, a stout club and a coil OF
tarred lariats. For bait he used a
sucking pig, q box Of something which
smelled extensively and several chunks
Of half roasted meat.
Selecting an overhanging bough
about six yards from the waters edge,
the Indian stripped OF its leaves and
Suspended from the fork the ~squealing
pig. That was the bait for the eyes
and ears Of the alligator.
Opening the box, he used its often
stve contents to grease a string, one
end Of which he tied to a bush, and,
weighing the other with D piece Of
wood, threw It into the river. That
was the nose bait.
Between the thicket and the waters
edge was a long sand dam, capped
with a row Of gnarled logs. Taking
the chunks Of meat, he placed them
at equal intervals between the beach
and the ridge Of the dam. This Is
my grub bait" said the Indian. 1T

b~arricade).
Stimulating the pig with a kick that
caused It to sQueal for the next ten
minutes. the Indian waited in ambush,
harpoon in hand. One end Of a long
lariat was fastened to 1t and the other
to a tough elastic sapling. The sun
bad set and it was growing dark when
q dark object was seen to rise slowly
from the water and sprawl up the dam.
The first chunk Of roast bait was COB
bled.
Hes smacking his chopsw chuckled
the Indian. Its the same one eyed
old sinner that owes me two pigs, but
he's going to pay his debts"
GObbling the second chunk, the alli-
gator crawled on, swallowing the third,
and at the sight Of the hanging pig
stopped and glared. Suddenly he
pushed forward and fell into a sandy
hollow behind the dam.
Instantly he turned and headed for
the DAM. Up sprang the Pinto and
hurled the harpoon through his scaly
hide. II got You this timer he shout
ed.
Jerked back by the tension of the
lariat, the alligator made the leaves fly
with his switching tail and would have
snapped the rope if the elasticity Of
the sapling had not broken the force
OF his spring as he plunged forward
again and again.
Selling the club and jumping around
the %f1oundering prisoner, the Indian
dealt him a whack across the head that
laid him sprawling IN his back. Three
more blows, and the alligator had paid
his debt.-New York World.

Entebbe, capital and port Of entry"
of the kingdom Of Uganda, reached by
steaming across crocodile infested
Lake Victoria Nyanza, on which Il
can sail we 200 miles without sight
ing land from the masthead, provides
every facility for invaders Of the sur
rounding unknown. Here it was that
the Italian Duke Of the Abruzzi pre-
pared for his notable trip In 1906 to
the snow capped though equatorial
Ruwenzori range, anciently known as
the mysterious Mountains Of the
Moon, lying west Of the particular
territory chosen by Mr.. Roosevelt US
his field, but close enough to afford
him a good view Of what Aristotle
termed the Mountain of Silver.
Weeks before the hunters Of big
game, like the Roosevelt party, reach
Entebbe preparations are made by
commissioned persons. Native porters
and guides-Bagandas, Swahilis and
Somalis-are engaged as well as boys"
to aid in the work about the camps,
and a large bulk Of supplies is made
ready, saving delay. Most carriers
are Bagandas, the native population Of
Uganda, who have preserved a verbal
record of the history Of their nation
reaching down through t~hirty-six
kings from the fourteenth century.
Swahilis are half Arab and half Bantu,
the latter a widely scattered negro
race Of small stature. Somalis are
generally Incompetent and deceitful.

plorers at Entebbe the f,nal organiza.

such expeditions are termed, is com.

The British protectorate Of Uganda,

Kobaka Dandi Chwa, son Of atrocious
Mwanga, seller Of women, covers S0,-
600 square miles, with subterritories.
Mr.. Roosevelt's plans include travers-
ing the very heart Of it, continuing
northward to Gondokora, across the
headwaters Of the Nile, outpost of
British Sudan, where Mrs. Roosevelt
hopes to join him in a journey down
the Nile.
The country first invaded and where
the hunting is done is a virgin haunt
Of big game, the like Of which exists
nowhere else in the known world. It
is a varied fastness, almost completely
surrounded by Lake Victoria Nyanza,
to the southeast; Lake Albert Edward,
southwest, near Ruwenzori; Lake Al
bert, northwest, and the headwaters
Of the Nile and the ramifying Lake
Choga to the northwest north and

ness. Mr.. Roosevelt has wisely studied
every means Of protection against this
insect. Whole villages have gone t.
sleep never to awake. Whole tribes
have disappeared from the face OF
the earth because Of it. Particularly
deadly when attacking males in the
prime of life, entire villages are found
today where only women and children
survive. Stricken natives are driven
out OF their homes to die in the forest
and be torn to pieces BY wild beasts.
