MYSTERY OF A DREAM.
Ee Heard True When Asleep an
 Heard True Too When Awake

Ee Heard True When Asleep and
 Heard True, Too, When Awake.
 Tn one of the East Indian border wars there was engaged an officer Of high repute, the member of an ancient county family says Mrs. Mayo in "Recollections of Fifty Years" One night the laird, it's head, started from his sleep, eXclaiming:
 There's the shot that has killed ny Drotherv -
 His wife told him it was but a dream. He must have given an anX. ious thought to his brother before go- ing to sleep.
 '"The next day the laird and his wife were in the garden directing their gar deners when the laird suddenly eX- claimed
 "'Do you hear the bagpipesT
 "'No,' answered the lady. I can hear nothing. I am sure there is no souE:l.
 Strange said the laird, for I can even hear what is played. It is "I.i2 Flowers O the Forest Are A Wcfe AWay."'
 "A few hours later came the tele- gram reporting that the brother had been shot down by some border war riOr and over his lonely grave the men of his regiment had played the pa hetic air whose mysterious echo seeln- d to have reached the laird.''

Words.

Words are used for various purposes to evade issues. to put people to sleep. to break up homes, to present literature and to conceal ideas. Noth- ing exceeds like words.
 Words are used in speeches, debates and stories. Massed in serried groups in newspapers and text books they pre- vent people from learning anything Last words are most effective and are employed exclusively by women and prominent citizens who are dying.
 Words are nothing in themselves, but only in their relationship to other words. It is the system of putting them together that counts. Most words are like unorganized militia. In war the mortality among them is fearful. They never win battles. When words are found in regular army style, how ever, disciplined and experienced, they are likely to be invincible.-Judge

Styles In Indian Names.

Although among the Indians there are not so many Deerslayers as there were in the days of James Fenimore Cooper, yet many of the names stil possess strong Individuality. This is shown by examining the names that were prominent in recent sale of In dian lands in the Standing Rock reser- vatiOn, in the Dakotas.
 Here. for instance, was found Bar nc, Two E-:ars, an amiable neighbol to Miss Katie Good Crow. Melda Crowghost and Mary Yellow Fat have adjoining tracts, and there are also Mrs. Crazy Walking and Jack Elk Ghost ill the same section.
 It is not to be wondered at that Mary Lean Dog looks enviously from her door when Agatha Big Shield goes by with her aristocratic name, nor could any one blame Jennie Dog Man and Mary Shave Head if they fell all over themselves to assume on short nO- tice the heroic name borne by Morris Thundersheld. heir apparent to Long Step Thundershield.- York Times

Where Women Don't Like to Shop

The stranger in Korea finds that he has struck topsy turvydom when he learns that women do not like shop ping, that the prominent merchants keep their wares concealed in closets instead of displaying them in show cases and that the customer who does not fancy the first piece of goods brought from concealment is likely to be told that the merchant IS quite sure he has nothing better. Elsewhere the street sign plays an important part ill attracting trade. The large merchant houses in Korea are entirely without street signs
