Kentuckians In Texas.

Mr.. A. q. Barnes who return
ed from Miami, Texas last week,
reports that part of the Lone Star
State as being very healthful. He
says Judge Fletcher has built up
wonderfully in flesh as has all
other lean Kentuckians locating
there. Mr. Barnes, however,
thinks that when it comes to
making a living, Kentucky can
not be excelled and he himself
will continue to remain a citizen
of the good Commonwealth of
Kentucky.

A DREAM AND A LETTER.
Maybe Merely Coincidence, Maybe q
Spirit Message.

The following story of dream was
told to a correspondent by an acquaint-
ance who is about as stolid and unim-
aginative a man as one could meet:
He had friend of whom he had lost
sight of for some time. This friend
committed suicide and one night. soon
after he had done so, the unimagina-
tive man dreamed that he was walk
Ing along a street after dusk when the
bust of the dead man appeared to him
and requested him to follow it, He did
so, and il led him to "A house, the door
stairs TO room where there was a
table on which lay number of books,
all of which were lying open.
The dead man had been great read
er and therefore there was nothing I'M
usual in the spectacle of great many
books in his room. The bust turned
to the unimaginative man and begged
him to turn over page of each book
so that it might continue to read. lie
did so. and he remembers that the

the pages were turned the bust appear
ed to be happy.
The dreamer awOke and told his wife
about it, When he went down to
breakfast he found letter lying on
the table bearing the postmark of Il
town of which he had no knowledge
other than its name. He had never
been there. nor. so far as lie was
aware. had the dead man. nor had he
any friends or relatives in the town.
The only relative of the dead man of
whom he had any knowledge lived in
another city.
When he opened the envelope he
found inside it small photograph OF
the dead man, showing his bust only.
There was not any letter inclosed with
it, nor anything To denote 10y whom it
had been sent. and 10 this day he does
not know from whom he received it,
