4 WONDERFUL DREAM.

The Poor cobblsr Who Found Him.
ssH Upon . Throne.
It was in the days Of Philip the
Good. duke Of Burgundy. that a cob
bier mounted royal throne. A. the
duke was travelling one night to
Bruges he came upon q man stretched
upon the ground sound asleep and
bade his attendants carry him to the
palace, strip on his rags and place
him, robed In nne linen. In his own
bed.
When the man awoke next morning
he was addressed as your highness"
and astounded to ind himself among
such rich surroundings. In vain he
protested that he was no prince. but a
poor cobbler. They asked him what
clothing he would wear and at last
conducted him, splendidly dressed, to
mass In the ducal chapel. Every cere-
mony was observed throughout the
day. The cobbler appeared in public
in his new role. was received on all
sides by command Of the duke with
deep respect and ended his brief reign
In the palace with grand supper and
bah.
When presently he fell asleep he
was reclothed In his rags and taken to
the spot where he had been found
when this practical joke was con-
ceived. waking In due time. he re-
turned home and related to his wife
what he took to be his wonderful
dream.

''These orchids had each at the cen

grew on dead limbs overhanging the

need OF water they uncoiled their
axial stems. lowered them three or
four feet to the stream and when
enough water had been drunk coiled
the stems up again as a tape measure

mass of faded orchids that continually

hence the tubes descended upon dry

were dying. but with what strength

Eaton, O., March 22.-Having their
have of submitting to a vote of the
people the proposition to erect a coun-
ty Memorial building, the commission
ers of Preble county are just now be-
ing beseiged by many requests for
such an election. and it is probable
that ere long the matter will be de-
cided by the voice of ballot.
The need of such a structure in
Preble county, located at Eaton is
very apparent. There is not a build
ing in Preble county of sufficient Ca
pacity to accommodate the various
public county meetings held here year.
ly. The conventions of the leading
political parties. farmers Institutes,
w. c. 7. U. conventions. the annual
publicans, Memorial day services,
poultry show, agricultural extension
school, and various other gatherings
witness congestion of people that
has become problematical and disap-
pointing.
Many desirable locations for such a
structure are available in Eaton, and
it is universally favored here In ad-
dition, many who live in remote parts
of the county are progressive enough
to heartily favor the proposition. The
cost of the structure would be small
as compared to the advantages and
usages, and the increased taxation
would be SO small that it could not
be called burden
1t is believed that ere long petitions
will be circulated for signatures from
persons who favor the plan, and an
election on the matter may result.

The Manehus,

The name "Manchuria." to desig-
nate the country Of the Manchus, Is
not known to the Chinese. but was in
vented by French geographers. The
Manchus are a tribe of Tartars who
gained the ascendency in China in the
seventeenth century. Manchu is Chi
nese for pure" and was applied by
an ancestor of Shun Che, the first
Manchu emperor Of China, to his dy-
nasty and his people.
The Manchus resemble the Chinese
only to the eye Of a stranger. just as
we think that all Chinese laundrymen
look alike. To themselves the Man
chus are distinct from Cinnamon in
appearance. as in race. and one who
knows eastern races easily distin.
guishes them. Most Of them are short
and good looking. with brown and rud-
dy skins.-New York Tribune.

Conscious During a Fall.

Conscious During 4 Fall.
Every time a workman falls from a
forty story building there are people
to say, well. he probably didn't feel
it when he struck" There is little or
no basis for this belief that a person
is dead or unconscious at the end Of a
long fall. Our surviving Jumpers from
Brooklyn bridge prove this, and that
person retains consciousness is
shown by the case Of the English boy
who fell down a pit some $50 feet deep
and shouted "Below!' three times on
the way down. One theory is that a
person falling would not be able to
breathe. but a train at sixty miles an
hour is moving faster than one would
move in falling a hundred or so feet,
and no one pretends that one would
die Of suffocation If he put his head
out the train window.-Exchange.

The fact that the session of the head
quarters committee lasted only fifteen
minutes and that no statement was
given out in regard to the resignation
of Helt (who got out because he could
not embrace the statewide prohibi-
ton doctrine, leads to the belief that
there may be something doing later.

was no endorsement of the legislative
