DREAMS. By ROBERT LOVEMAN.
Dreams. like children. hand in hand,
Wander through the shadow land;
At the night they softly creep
Down the corridors of sleep.
Dreams. like children. laugh and weep
In the mystic house OF sleep;
Then hand in hand they run away.
Frightened by the noisy day
Cod bless the Present! 1t is ALL;
1t has been Future, and 1t shall be
Past.
Awake and live; Thy strength recall,
And in one truth unite them fast

Charles Nelson stepped out to the
door Of the room and stood there
looking coldly at Dick Leroy.
Hello! You took your time. This
IS an old friend Of min, Mr.. Leroy,
How are you?" said Nelson, with
unwaVering c ,idness.
Dick crossed over to Nelson with
assured friendliness. His hardy,

Nelson drew the curtains and stood
looking sternly at Kitty.
Kitty wondered a bit uneasily II
she had blundered In letting Dick
penetrate the Alpine Apartments. She
sat on the little just made or-two
sofa and brushed her skirts aside
with an invitation her eyes Sec
onded
Dicks all right I used to work
with him. You don't mind my asking
him in here?"
Nelson sank beside her-not affec-
tionately-almost in abstraction.
How did you know that l was

that did not seem entirely due to his
talk with Dick.

real affection as she spoke.

Nelson dropped his arms to his side
with a thud Of amazement.

Again Kitty tried the lure of her

There is in the City of Mexico
thieves market, in which stolen goods
are publicly offered for sale. II oc-
cupies an entire square. Here may be
found everything that is portable, from
a telescope to a ring, a silk dress, c
a pair Of stockings, and the articles
are sold at abou one-tifth their actual
value. The thieves do not sell the goods
openly; for that would be dishonest in
the estimation Of the Mexicans, but the
sellers are those who purchase secretly

A Livrpool cabman who turned chaut-
fuer refused to sell his horse. which

that two gangs hav been broken up,
horse thieves are still infesting the
northwestern part of this state and
reports of their depredations are con-
stantly arriving here. Officials esti-
mate that over 200 head of horses
have been stolen within 2 radius OF
125 miles of this place, within the
past few months. Most of the animals
were driven overland, in some cases
from fifty to seventy-flve miles. to
reach market, New England, N. D.,
being the mecca of the thieves. Sew
eral suspects are under arrest at Bow
man, S. D. One pleaded guilty here
and two others are now IN Jail here
charged with horse stealing. Sheriff
Hantz of Butte county is now on the
trail of another gang which he hopes
to round up. The latest deal was the
stealing of seventeen head from Pc
ter Thompson, who resides nine miles
below Alzada, Mont, on the Little
Missouri river, and two punches were
reported stolen from the Box Elder
country in the same state.

Lead Statistics.

Lead.-According to the report of
the city treasurer and Mayor Howard,
it costs about slips per person to run
the city of Lead. The reports of ex-
penses for the month of May show a
trifle over $4,000 expended, and Lead
has a population of little over 5000
and is run on the three commissioner
plan. OF these expenditures the prin-
cipal sums are $500 for public build
ings, $3.50 for salaries of officials, $641
for lighting streets, 1864 for main
tenance of streets, $422 for the police
department and $425 for the public
health department. 1t is proposed to
reduce this amount when the new
paid fire department goes into effect
in the fall and the new city hall, which
has just been occupied, will still fur
Their reduce it by stopping the rents
of officers.
