A husky negro applied for a job in a big ship building company and his fine figure and strength got him ac- cepted. He was told to report to a certain department in the end of 6 mammoth building.
 He hadn't gone ten feet before he saw a sign hung above an aIcove read ing: "Stretcher Here" Duplicates of this assailed his eye here and there, and then came q bigger sign which read: '@To the Hospital" The Odor of ether and other smells filled his nostrils and he turned back.

 Ernest s. Fuller, who was elected judge of probate on Tuesday without opposition calls for more than passing comment. The probate court for the district of Somers was established in 1884. The judges holding office have been Walter R. Kibbe, OrsOn Wood, F. s. Wright, Marcus Woodward, William H. Kibbe, Solomon Fuller and Charles s. Fuller; the last two being grand father and father of Ernest s. Fuller, who held the office for 35 and 36 years respectively. Thus the office has been held in the Fuller family for Fl of the S8 years of it's existence. It is very unusual for three generations to hold continuously the same elective office. Probably this record cannot be duplf- cated in the state, if anywhere Judge Charles s. Fuller has retained the honor and respect of the community through many years, and retires from office to the deep regret of all. He has the distinction of never having had a decision reversed. Judge c. s. Fuller 1 retains the offices of town clerk and treasurer, which have been held by him, and his father, Solomon Fuller, continuously, since 1851. The newly elected judge has been clerk of the court for the past Is years, thus en- tering the office we'll qualified through \ experience, as well as tradition and type of mind. The joint offices will be continued at the present location.

presro Of Death FuINIIed.

To dream of an accident three timesi and then witness It's fulfillment has been the unhappy experience just re- corded of Hobart (Tasmania) man. A labOrer employed by the Hobart city corporation was turning the hand winch of crane. The jib of the crane swung around and a wire rope came into contact with the high tension elec- tric wires overhead The result was that the laborer was electrocuted. A week before the accident one of the mans workmates was uneasy in his mind. He was troubled by q strange dream that was repeated three times. In his dream he saw a fatal accident at the crane. 1t occurred in exactly the same way as that which caused the actual accident. He told his mates of the dream, which had made such deep impression upon him, and.it was the subject of considerable discussion. The fulflment of the dream came as a shock to those who had been made familiar with the story.
