Dreams That Came True.

Mr.. Andrew Lang has recorded
two true dreams stories exactly like
that of forgotten ledger entry. In
one a lady, having lost an important
key while walking in weed near
her house in Ireland, dreamed that
she saw it lying at the root of a GER
tain tree. Next day she found it
there. She supposed her eye must
have seen it after it dropped, though
her conscious mind had not instantly
noted it. Just the same was the
theory of a barrister who went out
late at night to post his letters and
upon undressing missed a check
for large amount received
during the day. He dreamed he saw
it curled round an area railing not
far from his door, woke up, dressed,
went out and found it exactly as he
had dreamed. The mind registers
at times what it does not instantly
report. t.-London Chronicle.

When She's Most Beautiful.

At what age is a woman the most
beautiful? William Morris fixed it
at forty, and, taking one consider
alton with another, we have arrived
at the conclusion that his decision
vas very wise one. Personally one
might incline to the opinion that the
age at which a woman is most
dangerously attractive is thirty or
thereabcuts. At that stage of exis-
tence, whether she is married or
single, and always supposing she has
grace of form, q fair share of good
looks, that she understands some
thing of the art of dressing, that she
has lived in the world and not in a
provincial town or country rectOry
all her life, she can generally manage
to outwit any girl. But we get a
step further in the science of attract
iveness when we come to the woman
of forty. Her personal attractions
are no longer of the dazzling de-
cription, but for all she has a charm
which alone can be given by maturity
chat wisdom which has been bought
Of experience and sympathy spring
ing from knowledge that teaches us
tolerance.

Nut Grass.

The only way to kill nut grass is
not to let it show a leaf above the
ground. This means constant clean
ing off, for it will be up next day,
but if constantly prevented from
making green leaves the roots will
die. Nut grass spreads more from
seed than from the roots, and being
neglected late in the season, it fills
the soil with seed, and nothing but
constant vigilance will eradicte it.

PASSING OF THE COWBOY.
Where Science Steps in Romance In.
eVi!ahly Takes lis Departure.

Science is like poverty. When il
steps in, romance pops out, though
there are lot Of writer's trying tc
do the impossible and make us glow
symbolically speaking, over the love
of the germ for the microbe or the
thrilling adventures of the professor
seeking the buttermiIk fountain OF
eternal youth
Here we have been wailing over
| the departure of the cowboy, and
while deep sighs shook our sturdy
frames, decrying the civilization
which takes SO much Of the pic,
turesques out of life. And all the
time it was plain matter-of-fa ex-
ceedirgly materialistic science that
was on the job
The cowboy has been one of the
big pictorial figures in American life.
He has been the one who has brought
the pioneer spirit, untrammeled, re-
mantle, and colorful, into the drab
days of the present. He has made
chaps" as symbolical as the COON
skin cap and he will go down to his
tory pedestal with the trapper.
Remington has pictured him; Wis
ter has set him, alive and kicking and
loveable, in the preservative amber
of fiction; and, best of all, Buffalo
Bill and all his followers in buckskin
and flowing hair have brought him
right to our doors in all his dash and
deviltry and boyishness. So we cam
not lose him altogether, for which
We should be accordingly grateful.
But it isn't the match Of civiliza-
ton, the onrush of people, the swing
ing Of population from one coast to
the other that has conspired to wipe
him from the national map. except in
directly. 1t has come about because
science has whispered in TIE ranch
er's ear and he has listened ard act
ed. The old-time long-holned Texas
steer was in the picture with the cow
boy. He lent his savagery to the
spirit Of the composition; he stamre-
led to give vigor; his widespread
horns furnished curves Of beauty ard
tested the skill of the lassoit. But
there was too much bravurra about
him and too little beef. He pleased
the eye, but he didn't fill the stomach.
He was an expensive luxury. So s"i-
ence was called in and it has bred a
new animal; squat, fat, short Of horn,
placid, almost inert. With it has
gone the life and hues of cowboy life.
No longer do we hear of mad insane
rushes, of the frenzy of the stam-
pede. of the dramatic and daredevil
round-ups, and of the cowboys riding
their circles about the herds and sing
ing lullabies to them. The new
band of cattle is docile and bouvine.
1t is ruminant rather than riotous
Romance has vanished. There is
little need for the cowboy and he will
vanish, too.--Cleveland Leader.

VANCE'S PERSUASION.
A legend OF How the Great War Gov
ern0r Once Answered IOquireS.

1t takes man acquainted with
religious conditions in the South, with
the extense rivalries that exist ir
some neighborhoods between the
two great religious forces of this
section, and aware of how vital E
part religious convictions play in the
lives of men who are oftentimes shut
OFT from any but very narrow com
munication with the great currents
OF the world, to appreciate some of
the stories that are told showing
whom church feeling sometime cuts
a great swath in politics and rallies
for or against a candidate consider
able following. One of the best of
these stories is the one told by the late
Senetor Vance of North Carolina and
recently re-told by ex-Vice President
Stevenson in his book of reminiscent
ces. 1t runs as follows;
AS revealing some old difficlties of
campaigning in North Carolina, an
incident is related Of a meeting, with
refreshments, before which old Zeb
Vance appeared as candidate for
Congress. The leader had asked Zeb:
Mr.. Vance, what persuasion be you
off,"
Promptly laying down the chicken
'eg, the chunk of salt-raising bread
and cucumber pickle with which he
had been abundantly supplied by one
Of the dear old friends, and assuming
an appropriate oratorical pose, with
lis eye, intent upon his interrogation,
the candidate began:
My sainted grandfather was dur
ing the latter years of his long and
useful life ruling elder in the Pres
oyterian church." The gathering
brow and shaking head of the local
shepherd would even to a less OBJ
serving nan than the candidate have
been sufficient warning that he was
On the wrong trail. But" continued
the speaker, my father was an equal
" devout member Of the Methodist
Episcopal church."
The sombre aspect of the shepherd,
With the no less significant shake of
he head, was unc2istalCable lntima-
tion to our candidate that danger was
IN the very air. Railying himself,
however. for the last charge, but with
one remaining shot in his locker, the
orator earnestly resumed:
But when | came to the years of
and was able, after prayer
nd meditation, to read and under
,tand that blessed book myself, /
came to the conclusion that the old
Baptist church was right"
"Bless Cod" exclaimed the old
preacher, selling Vance by the hand,
He is all right, brethren! Oh, you'll
get all the votes in these parts, Broth
er Vance,"
Besides the many good stories in
Mr.. Stevenson's book there are
pages of serious tribute and sober
emory.-Americus (Ga.) Times.

The END OF FREE LAND.
Means Beginning Of a New Era in the
United States.

| The West is now inclosed. The
free land has been taken up. There
is now no homestead to be had fo1
the asking. The frontier has only E
a historical significance. The nation
al domain is thing Of the past
"The public lands which now re-
main are chiefly and in character u
says the public land commission. The
opportunity for home, which for
three centuries has been open to all
has finally been closed by title deeds
or fraudulently appropriated by in
diviiualy and corporations in collu-
sion with the government.
The inclosure of the free public
domain terminates the greatest
epoch in American history. In a
big perspective it may be likened to
the fall of Rome, the opening up of
new route to India by Vasco da
Cana, or the discovery of America
by Columbus. 1t marks the end of
the westward drift of civilization, a
drift which, with occasional inter
ruptions, has been going on since
the beginning Of history. Ever
since the seventeenth century the
Old World has had a vent in Ameri-
ca. During these centuries Europe
has been relieved of discontentment
by the broad, hospitable prairies of
the West. America has been a hos
pital for all Of the world. The op-
portunity which it offered has re-
lieved the explosive elements of
other lands and brought them back
into harmony with life.
An undertow is now setting back
upon the East. Population is crowd
ing in upon our cities. The ener-
getic wage-earner, who formerly
followed the westward trail, is now
entering the trade union. Here he
will find expression for the energy
which formerly found an outlet in
West. 1t is this that explains the
present industrial unrest. 1t is this
that accounts for the political fer
ment. No longer can the discon-
tented hope to improve his fortunes
in another longitude. He must re-
main at home, become tenant or a
wage-earner.
1t is this, too, that explains the
coming Of poverty and distress. The
alternative Of a homestead in the
West, which for three centuries has
relieved the dispossessed of the
world is now closed forever tits this
that explains the change which has
come over the spirit of America
during the last ten years. And as
time goes on this spirit Of unrest
must of necessity increase. In this
sense, as has been said, America is
the mirror Of all history. An under
standing of the evolution of our own
land offers akey to an understanding
of the evolution Of the Westesn
world, from the beginning of the
migration of the Greek colonist out
of the Peloponnesus into the Western
seas.-Frederic G.. Howe inScribner' S
