"Speaking about dreamis," said the
Boston insurance man as he relighted
the stub of his cigar, "I can't say that
I do or do not believe in them. One
night, during the palmy days of the
Louisiana lottery, J dreamed that a
certain ticket hit the capital prire.
Two daya later a friend showed me
that very ticket and I gave him f 25 for

"And it hit the prize?" was asked.
"No, sir; didn't come within a mile
of it."
"And have you any'other instance?"
"I have. A year or two ago I fell
asleep in a hammock one day and
dreamt that I was the biggest ass in
America for dreaming that other
dream."
"And did it turn out as you
dreameu ?"
"Waal, I have my wife's word for it
every hour in the day. and so I guess
it did. She wanted that 25 for a
spring bat, you see."
Charles "Did the tailor take your
measure?"
Algy "I think he did. He said I'l
have to pay in advance."
DISAPPOINTED AGAIN.
"I h-have c-come," began the young

As Incident That Admirably lllnetratwa
That Quality.
Walter B. Stevens, the secretary of
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition,
for which St. Louis is making great
Dreoarallons. was for many years con-
netted with the Globe-Democrat and
was an especial favorite of Joe Mc
Cullagh, Its chief editor. Since 1883
Mr. Stevens has been a Washington
:orrespondent, and was recognized as
3ne of the best of the corps. On one
:-casion when Mr. Stevens was in St.
Louis Mr. McCullagh was entertain
ing some visitors in his office, when
ihe conversation turned upon the dif
ference between men of equal intelli
gence in the matter of seeing more
han appeared on the surface of com
mon things.
"Why. I have a man in this of-
Ice," Mr. McCullagh declared, "who
.an beat the world at such a game I'll
show you what he can do."
He called through the speaking tube
and Mr. Stevens responded, in person.
'Mr. Stevens." said the editor, i
have got to have something to fill
about a column and a quarter In to
morrow's paper. I wish you would go
3ut into the street and write up the
Brst thing you come across. Don t
star more than 30 minutes. I need
you for another assignment after you
are through with this."
At the stroke of the half hour in
walked Stevens with a batch of copy
in his hand.
I haven't auite finished that arti
cle" he remarked, "but It will take
me but a little while more."
"Oh. very well," said Mr. McCuI-
agh. winking slyly at his guests, "but
be as quick as you can about It."
It was not very long before Stevens
returned, laid the finished manuscript
on his chief's desk, took his further or
ders and retired, whereupon Mr. Mc
Cullagh and his friends examined
what he had written.
Mr. Stevens, It seems, had walked
as far as the nearest corner, where a
new building was in process of erec
tion. Apparently there was nothing
to be seen more than anyone could
Bee in any unfinished building. He
was nrobablv the only passer-by who
stopped and watched proceedings, and
he talked with the contractor on tne
curbstone about the little dummy
which was running ud and down- by
steam, supplying the bricks and mor
tar to the masons on the upper floors.
His article was a ltsrbt but thought
ful essay on "The Passing of the Hod
Carrier."

ATHLETICS AND BEAUTY.
Kxerclae I Belter Than Phyelc to In
prove One'e Look.
American women are beginning to
realize that If they would preserve the
charms with which nature has en
dowed them they must pay attention
to physical exercise. But there is
danger in excess of athleticism. One
journal goes so far as to declare ath
leticism tends to overdevelop the mus
cle and produces coarseness, and that
in their pursuit of exercise women
lose their beauty and grace. The de
terioratlng influences of athleticism
are made responsible, too, according
to the same authority, for a new order
Df untidy, clumsy and badly dressed
women. In the case of the girls of the
Nelss family of athletes this theory
is at once and most emphatically dis
pellcd. The oldest, Hermlne, although
Oarely 20, is a splendidly built woman
Her pretty rounded and well-develop
ed arms must be stronger than many
man's, but there Is not the slightest
lusplciou of that exaggerated outline
which so often distinguishes the ath
icte. She attributes her unbroken
aealth to this constant round of exer
;lse. The suggestion that a strict
:ourse of diet was necessary to keep
them In good training amused these
3erman girls not a little. They have
to regulate their meals, however, but
like and eat whatever is gooa. A good
oearty breakfast, luncheon between
the afternoon and evening perform
ance and the principal meal in the
svening after their work is over is the
order of their day. With their meals
these gymnasts, like others of their
icx, take red wine and occasionally
champagne, but they would scorn the
Idea that (hey needed any influence to
give them pluck and courage. They do
not know the meaning of fear. Chi

Gnlzot lived through the most event
ful periods of modern France. He
was born In 1787 amid the tB!itt?r!nss
of the revolution. Guiiot's parent
were married by a prescribed Protest
ant pastor, and his birth was never
legally registered. His father, who
was an advocate, used his talent for
public speaking In the interests of the
persecuted Protestants, and became a
marked man. After living for several
weeks in danger of his life, he was at
last arrested, unwillingly enough, by
a gendarme who knew and respected
him. "Shall I let you escape?" said
tbo man. "Are you married?" replied
M. Gulrot. "Yes, I have two chll

prisoner, "but you would have to pay
