A DREAM STORY. The Jeweled Ring a Woman Saw Twice In Her Sleep. In November. ISI3. I awoke one morning fully impressed with the idea that 1 was receiving as a gift an unusually large gypsy ring set with a single sapphire with a brilliant on each side. The dream was a pleasant one to the female mind, and 1 soon fell asleep again, but only to awake with a still stronger impression that the jewel was actually in my hands. So curious were my sensations that on my maid entering my room at 8 o’clock I told her of the two dreams, most minutely describing the ring, and I also asked my husband to bear witness to the statement should anything follow to confirm the dream. Two hours later the postman arrived, and so great were my excitement and astonishment at seeing a small, neatly done up packet (evidently a ring easel that 1 dared scarcely open it and decided to ask my maid to do so. Before breaking the seal I asked her to repeat the description of the ring that 1 had previously given her. and then the little packet was opened, and the joyful exclamation followed. "Why. my lady, here it is!” The ring was sent to me by a friend in memory of his wife, who bad died some months before, but I had absolutely no idea that I should be the recipient of any souvenir of her, nor did I ever see her wearing the ring in question.—London Spectator.

Needed the Knife. Speaking of table etiquette. General E. Burd Grubb told a story about a man who was justified in eating pie with a knife. Smith was standing in a hotel lobby one day, according to the general, talking to Jones, when the conversation turned to a dinner that bad been given at the home of a mutual acquaintance named Brown. “You should have seen Barton." remarked Jones, referring to one of the guests. “I thought he had better table manners. When bis pie was served be actually ate it with bis knife.” “1 don't blame him for that," was 1 the startling reply of Smith. “You don't blame him?” repeated Jones in amazement. “No.” smilingly joined Smith. "I have eaten pie at Brown's myself, and it Is a wonder to me that Barton didn’t take an ax.”—Philadelphia Telegraph. Tho Woman With the Transfer. With a transfer ticket punched to expire at 12 o’clock an elderly woman got on a car. “I can’t take this, lady,” said the conductor. "You see, it’s marked for 12, but now it’s ten minutes of 2. The ticket's been dead for nearly two hours.” “Weil.” was the woman's reply, “I took the first car 1 could get after leaving the bank. I bad to wait to have my interest figured up.” “If It took ’em two hours to figure the Interest on my money 1 wouldn’t argue about a transfer. I'd pay my fare or ride in an auto,” said the conductor. The woman made no retort, but fished a nickel out of her hand bag and gave it to the conductor.—New York Press. Happy Thought. Mrs. Newed—How does the breakfast suit you. darling? Newed—lt’s just right, sweetheart. It may be rather plebeian, but just the same I’m awfully fond of calf’s liver. Mrs. Newed—So am I. dearest. Don’t you think it would pay us to keep a calf? Then we could have calf’s liver every morning for breakfast. —Chicago News. Why She Stayed at the Foot. Being upbraided by her mother for being the lowest in her class, little Mabel exclaimed in tones of injured innocence: "It ain't my. fault. The girl who has always been foot left school.” —Delineator. Hard on the Egg. Fat Lady—Yes, sir; that’s the beauty of keeping fowls. If bever I run short o’ meat or I’m in a ’urry, I always fall back on a hegg.—London Bystander.
