A KING'S DREAM. Belief In the Vision Might Have Changed History. On June 12, 1645, Charles I. slept at the little inn in Naseby village. Scouts had brought iews of the approach of the parliamentary army, and the king was resolved to give them battle. In the middle of the night tut? lords of the bedchamber, who slept In the outer room, were disturbed by an extraordinary noise in the king's room. Upon entering thoy found Charles sitting bolt upright in his bed and in a much excited state. On asking what the noise was, the king said he had heard no noise, but that their entry had roused him from an extraordinary dream. He said that Strafford had stood at the foot of his bed and Implored him not to give battle, for If he did he would be so disastrously defeated as to threaten his crown and even his life. The next morning Charles told Prince Rupert and his generals of his dream, but declared that he would fight. They in vain tried to dissuade him. In the evening news arrived that the enemy were close at hand. That night Charles again dreamed the same dream. Strafford warned him that it was the last time he would try to help him. The next morning the king led his army out and by sunset be had lost cannon, baggage and four-fifths of his troops and, as events proved, the war as well. Strafford's ghost was right. Had Charles not met Cromwell at Naseby it Is quite likely he would not have met his death at Whitehall. Pearson's Weekly. Not Caught Yet. The young clubman had been introduced to the beautiful Russian actress. He was charmed, entranced, and he finally led her to the conservatory, where they might have a quiet minute to themselves. "Tardon me." he said, "I did not quite catch your name." "What is it that you did not do?" she asked in bewilderment. "Oh. yotir language is so strange. Do you want my name?" "Ye; your own full name." "Will you catch it this time?" "I'll do my best." "Well, it's Vera Federovlna Kommisarjewskaya." He muffed it. Los Angeles Herald. Showed Him How.

Cities Will Fight for the Methodist Book Concern When United. ELECTION HELD TODAY. Baltimore, Md., May iio. At a meet-! Methodist Episcopal church, held in this city a memorial was almost unan imously adopted, which, if passed by j the general conference, will cause the j book publishing business of the church to be carried on under one roof and in one city. At present there are two big publishing houses one in New York City and the Western one in Cincinnati. It is proposed in the memorial to place the publishing of books under the direction of a boatd of managers, and to have one man at the head of the Methodist Book Concern. It is probable that the publishing of periodicals will be conducted by the publishing house in Cincinnati, as the Western city is centrally located, and it was shown during a debate that the periodicals could be better dispatched from Cincinnati than from any other point. The memorial provides that vast amounts of moneys are handled by the present trustees of the book concern, and that, it would be more prudent to elect a board of managers to serve for eight or twelve years than for a single quadrennium. Depositories will be established in cities where there are none and a larger business will be conducted by the book concern. There is likely to be a big contest in the general conference when the matter of selecting a city for the publishing busness comes to an issue. All interest now centers in the election of Bishops, which takes place today. All of the candidates for the Episcopacy that is the "sure-enough" ones have what the candidates of politics would term "headquarters." SHAKESPEARE'S TOMB. Its Would Be Desacrators and the Poet's Imprecation. The fact that would be desecratore of Shakespeare's tomb have not dared to risk the falling of the curse invoked In the lines cut upon his tomb is a striking testimony to the powerful effect upon mankind of such an imprecation. J. O. llalliwell-rnlllipps, writing in the eighties, said: "The nearest approach to an excavation in the grave of Shakespeare was made in the summer of the year 1796 in digging a vault in the immediate locality, when an opening appeared which was presumed to indicate the commencement of the site of the bard's remains. The most scrupulous care, however, was taken not to disturb the neighboring earth in the slightest degree, the clerk having been placed there till the brickwork of the adjoining vault was completed to prevent any one making an examination. No relics whatever were visible through the small opening that thus presented itself, and as the poet was burled in the ground, not in a vault, the great probability is that dust alone remains. It is not many years since a phalanx of trouble tombs, lanterns and spades in hand, assembled in the chancel at dead of night, intent on disobeying the solemn injunction that the bones of Shakespeare were not to be disturbed. But the supplicatory lines prevailed. There were some among the number who at the last moment refused to incur the warning condemnation, and so the design was hfjpp'ily abandoned." A correspouxtent of the London Athenaeum wrote in 1881: "I remember on a visit to the grave of Shakespeare in 1S27 or 182S remarking that it was little creditable to the authorities that the raised covering to the tomb should have been allowed to fall Into such decay, for I could see into the grave through the hole formed by the sinking of the stones. The reply was that, oa account of the anathema inscribed upon the tomb,' no workmen could be persuaded to meddle with it." An earlier incident is thus set forth by a contributor to the Monthly Magazine of Feb. 1, 181S: "Notwithstanding the anathema pronounced by the bard ou any disturber of his bones, the church wardens were so negligent a few years ago as to suffer the sexton in digging the adjoining grave of Dr. Davenport to break a large cavity into the tomb of Shakespeare. Mr. told the writer that he was excited by curiosity to push his head and shoulders through the cavity, that he saw the remains of the bard and that he could easily have brought away his skull, but was deterred by the curse which the poet invoked ou any one who disturbed his remains." The attempt at a later day to meddle with the tomb had no more effective ending. New York Tribune. South American Animals.

Saloon men of this city, whose places have been closed pending the hearing of the blanket remonstrance and who had left their furniture and fixtures intact, have given up hope of defeating the remonstrance since the ruling of the court that signatures secured on Friday were legal and are dismantling their places. The saloon men held a meeting today, which is considered to have been the last one for closing up the affairs of the organization effected by them late last summer to fight the remonstrance. Of the thirteen saloons in this city last fall when the remonstrance was filed, six are doing business. The last one will close Dec. 7. and New Castle will then be dry until Thanksgiving day, 1909. Not only will New Castle bo dry, but the entire county, as saloons in Honey Creek and Knightstown will also have closed by that time through blanket remonstrance. How to Be Happy Though Married. Wives, make much of your husband. Flatter him discreetly, laugh at his jokes, don't attempt to put down his club, never tell him home truths and never cry. Husbands, praise and admire your wife, and let other men admore her too. Don't interfere in her department. Be reasonable about money if you cannot be generous and not overfond of your own voice. And both of you: Be very tolerant, expect little, give gladly, put respect before everything, cultivate courtesy, and love each other all you can. If you do all this you are sure to be happy though married. Maud Churton Braby in Grand Magazine. Saving Himself. "You don't mean to say," remarked Wise, "that you made a present of that $5 to Borrowmun?" "Yes." replied Markley. "I had to to save my own self respect." "I don't understand.

'T Superintendent Cotton Sees Variance in School Enumeration Reports. AN INVESTIGATION SOON. Indianapolis. Ind., May "Jo. A gain in the number of school children shown in some cities among them Indianapolis hen a decrease is recorded in other cities similarly situated, has led Fassett A. Cotton to the decision that an investigation of the school enumeration should be made in all cities where it appears that the gain is heavy. The common school tuition fund, which amounts to about $1. :""' semiannually, is apportioned according to the enumeration of schcoi corporations. The greater the number or' school children the greater the tund received. Mr. Cotton wishes to see if there have been any duplication as it is possible for children in families who live within one corporation but po to school in another to have been enumerated by both corporations, whereas they should be enumerated only by the school corporation in which their parents reside.

What a Grocer said. A reporter dropped in on one of the prominent grocers of the city this morning and asked him what he thought of the E-C Girl campaign that the EGG-O-SEE Cereal Company had on here recently. To use the grocer's own language: "Well, there's nothing to it. That EGG-O-SEE crowd is about the livest bunch that we do business with. In the first place, they make the best goods on the market, and then they let the people know about it -That E-C Girl business was simply great. I don't suppose I ever ate two dishes of breakfast food in my whole life before Bhe came here, but I got interested and I want to say to you, that that E-C is the stuff. 'That's about the best eating I ever got hold of. I am for it now, regular every morning, and we are selling more of it than all the other brands put together. "I tried to get rid of a few packages of another kind that I had left over, but my customers won't take anything else. They simply insist on E-C, and I don't blame
