SAVED BY A DREAM.

The Vision That Came In slumbsr
Warned Her From Death.
I have never had much faith In
dreams. but about year ago ! had
one which was the means of saving
my life. and since then I SCOT no
longer.
l dreamed one night that the figure
Of an old man dressed in black ap-
preached me and asked. Are you
, ready?" I. taking him for the ''angel
Of DEATH" shuddered and replied. NO."
and the figure vanished.
When awoke and related the dream
to my mother she told me not to worry
over it, as bad dreams usually meant
good news.
A few days later l had occasion to
visit a girl friend at her Office in
large Office building. At the conclusion
Of the visit my friend walked with me-
to the hall. where we waited for the
elevator to take me down. When the
elevator car came to our floor was
still talking to my friend. and the ele-
vator runner inquired, "Are you
ready?"
I was about to say Eyes, and step in
when the question struck me. and I
glanced at the elevator runner.
Immediately drew back and replied.
mo; never mind; I'll wait for the next
car"
The car fell, killing the occupants

Repentina at Leisure.

Agnes was little tot of five. with
curly, faxen hair. china-like complex
ion-and a will of her own. She had
been i'll advised. not to say deliberately
naughty. at the dinner table. and
mamma had dismissed her to her bed
room, to remain in durance vile till she
should express due contrition for her
behavior. Agnes cheerfully obeyed
the parental order and showed no spirit
Of repentance at the end of the first
quarter of an hour. When thirty min
utes had elapsed mamma called from
an adjoining room:
"Agnes, dearie. aren't you sorry?"
There was no reply from the dark
ness beyond.
Ten minutes later the question was
repeated. Back came the reply In tho
patient dignity and childish treble Of
I've summers:
mamma, please don't ask me any
more. I'll come and let You know when
I'm sorry"
