w I BALLADE OF DREAM? m If I had time I should like to dream? 1 I But not as poets and dreamers may | Of realms and ea6tleB that only eeem. And hopes that never fultxJi tneir aay; But, had I time and my own sweet way, J think I'd stay in my den, and brew A pleasant vision of things that pay? I ffhe dreams that once in awhile come true. J If I had time, I would build no scheme j To. please my soul-for a moment's sway; I'd hit no pipe for an instant's gleam Of dazzling riches of far Cathay; But give me only my pipe of clay, And let me smoke till the air is blue, And dream, while holding my fears at hav. EThe dreams that once in awhile come true. Away with musings on heights supreme; (YVho falls therefrom is a nightmare's prey) Fd have it possible to redeem An honest fancy, without delay, ! For aught of worth as a staff and stay To keep me going, and see me through. / Ah me?a change from the whimeey's play? The dreams that once in awhile come true. / L'ENVOI. (The dream6 that render reward?, I say! / But, after all, 't is the straggling few ; That share, before they are old and gray, The dreams that once in awhile come C true. ?Frank W. Hutt, in Puck.

He is a man of good character, and hi6 family is one of the most distinguished in the country. He is rich,1 and he can listen as well as talk. And when he talks he says more than.

Bertie is such a violet! And the captain is a gladiolus. Bertie hasn't much social standing. His father keeps a shop as mine does. Oh, dear! Whatever's a poor girl to do?" A lady came and sat beside her, making a remark relative to tbe din of the company. Miss Melville agaIn raised lier fan to her face. "What glorious weather it is, isn't It?" she said, non-committally. She did not catch the other's reply, for at that instant tibe tall form of Captain Gorton swung into view, cross, ing the lawn laden with paraphernalia for the afternoon's entertainment. He nodded at her and she inclined her head slightly. i "The captain's presence gives our little celebration quite a military air," the other was talking. "I understand that he has made something of a sacrifice to be with us. He might have been showing himself to admiring thousands in the city, and he's very fond of showing himself, is the captain. Since that little affair at ovuic??iicic vi vuin iu iuuju, wxuvxi was all in the papers at the time, you remember* when he led a charge or something, somewhere where there . was danger, he's been in great demand. He's a popular hero. And he looks in uniform quite the brave man he's reputed to be, which isn't customary with heroes, you know. Heroes arc usually disappointing as spectacles." "Yes," Miss Melville concurred, but ?he was only half listening. She was again comparing the captain with Bertie, and Bertie with the captain, and apologizing for Bertie's shortcomings. She seriously believed that a struggle was taking place in ber mind. ( The other looked at her quizzically. "Lovely idea of Mr. Wareham's. wasn't it?" she went on, after a brief Interval. "These beautiful grounds, feasy chairs, perfectly delicious refreshments, and really no more noise than one might expect, I suppose. Every one should suffer a little in the cause of country for the sake of one's patriotic soul." . "You are perfectly correct." Mikr Melville's pyps were jraziiif* vm iward where fluffy white clouds were Boating lazily, like pieces of snow upon a calm blue sea. She was unaware of the captain's approach, immaculate iu his white suit She was visibly startled when he spoke to her. I "Some of the boys have arranged for * sham, battle on the lake," he said. "Would you care to see it?" She arose promptly. "Won't you come, too?" she said, eweetly, to her voluble neighbor, thus causing the semblance of a pucker to appear above the captain's nose. I -iuere win ue uu uauftr, wiji mere, captain?" "Not the slightest." His smile "was good-humored, closely approaching pat. xonage. "There will be nothing but action and noise?mere boy's play, you know." Miss Melville opened her sunshade herself, ignoring his movement to that end. Some quality in his tone?a quality smacking of insult to boys?and Bertie?annoyed her. But he was handsome and brave, this captain, ;while Bertie wasn't, and he was ricL and of aristocratic lineage, while Bert ie's father kept a common shop. She drew closely to the captain's side, and he leaned toward her, unheeding oi their companion. So they came to the lake 6hore, where preparations for th( battle were in progress. Bortio cor thpm flnrt wnvort hie hnTnl glfrom out the midst of a snarl of ex Ucited children in which he appeared tc IMbe hopelessly entangled. His hair was ^ ruffled. His face was streaked witt gMperspiration and grime. His sleeves ^Rwere rolled to the elbows. His whit< ^Hduck trousers were spotted in numer SSous place? where they had thought |fl]es8ly been brought in contact with th( j^Kgrass. He grinned. |ij ''We're making things sing," he an |Hnounced, somewhat unnecessarily j^Ks-hen they had come nearer. "Eb, 1 "Yoti're rlcht!" The answer was \ given in a shrill chorus of childish I voices. 'This is the battle we're goiBg to fight, and we must wait till we can see the whites of the enemy's eyes." He looked at Miss Melville, who was laughing, and the captain, whose lip was curling with amused tolerance, and his face became suddenly grave. "It's a sort of kindergarten," be said, apologetically. "I'm surprised and grieved that you should view it in a spirit of levity. I'll tell you, it's no ping-pong, this fighting battles. Come, kids." Miss Melville wiped the tears of lauehter from her eyes and gasped for breath. The captain solicitously ap- i proacbed with a camp chair. "Won't you ?' he began, then ' stepped back quickly, taking the chair with him. Bertie saw the action, and in the same instant saw its cause. A mammoth cannon cracker, containing sufficient strength within its smooth shell to kill a horse if exploded from below, lay. sputtering not twelve inches from Miss Melville's heels. He saw the horror-stricken face of the boy, who, unable to control his zeal, had lighted the cracker's fuse, and had been unable to extinguish it, as he had intended. Bertie saw the captain retreat for. ty feet or more, and heard him frantically tell the girl to jump. And he dashed forward, scattering children i to the right and the left, his eyes blazing. "You?you coward!" he cried, indignantly, to the retreating officer. "Why didn't you " He tlirew the bewildered Miss Mel- I ville aside witb sucb force that sbe ' assumed a sitting posture upon the grass, her hat tilted over one eye, her sunshade crushed beneath her. He picked up the sputtering cracker and turned menacingly toward the captain. His intention was obvious. The cracker would have been cast straight at that heroic gentleman's head had there been time. But, unfortunately or otherwise, as the matter may be viewed, there was not time. "Bang!" Bertie, blinded, deafened, stunned seemed to whirl, whirl like a top. And, when the force of the momentum was exhausted, like a top he tumbled over. His ring had fallen from his finger, and automatically Miss Melville had taken hold of it. The world turned black. Her eyes closed. Her consciousness floated away upon a moan. When it came back and she again was all things knowingly, her compan. ion, the voluble lady, was sitting beside her plying a fan. Other ladies were also there. At a little distance, leaning in a picturesque attitude | against a tree, was the captain. "Bertie?brave Bertie!" she murmured. "Yes, dear," the lady began, talking at once. "Mr. MeFarland's been taken to the hospital. Wasn't it lovely of him to do as he did? He's not badly hurt?not so badly as might have been expected, considering thut one of those atrocious abominations exploded in his hand. His eyesight is affected, though not permanently, the doctors say. It was an awful shock, wasn't it? So unfortunate's for Mr. Wareham's plans, too!" Miss Melville struggled to her feet. Her face was drawn and white. Her gown was crumpled and stained with green. "I shall go. I think." she said, forcing a smile. "Thank you ever so much for what you've done for me. I'm sorry for Mr. Wareham. No," motioning back the captain, who came forward, tendering his arm, "it is but a little way home. I'll not incon?I'll not need you. Captain Gorton. No, nor you ladies. I should prefer to go alone." She walked unsteadily across the lawn, passing through the iron gateway into the quiet street. At the first corner she paused, glancing about her. No one was in sight. Slowly, for the muscles were cramped, she opened her clinched hand and lifted it to her lips. Then she placed Bertie's ring upon her engagement finger.?Baltimore Herald. Word Blindness. Some curious instances of the physical defect of "word blindness" are given in the Lancet. The disease is, ioriuuaifjy, uiicuujiijuii. m uuc vaovthe sufferer, an Englishman, thirtyfour years of age, who knew Greek, Latin and French well, suddenly lost all knowledge of English, though he could read and understand Greek perfectly and Latin and French in a rather smaller degree. Another and almost more curious case was that of a man who lost the power of reading at sight. This patient was able to write accurately from dictation, but was completely unable to read what he had written. Word blindness is apparently akin to color blindness, but is certainly attended by much more inconvenient consequences. Hnraboldt'a Emerald Sold at Auction. "A gigantic emeraM" is the title which the auctioneer in his catalogue bestowed upon a precious stone just sold at an art auction in Berlin. It once belonged to Czar Nicholas I. of ! Russia, who presented it to the famous explorer Humboldt. It is four : inches long and two and four-tenths inches in diameter, and is cut on four sides, the remaining sides being rough. ( The setting is curious and artistic. ; The precious stone is embedded in a silver rock, around which seven little L gnomes are grouped, cutting the rock 1 with their axes. This work of art rests ? on a pedestal of ebony, decorated with ' silver. The price it brought at the auc tion?$500?was considered very moilor-, J ate.

The cultured and the ignorant, the aristocrat and the pauper, the masses and the classes are alike subject to la grippe. None are exempt?all are liable. , Have you the grip? Or, rather, has the grip got you? Grip is well named. The original French term, la grippe, has beer shortened by the busy Ajmencan to read "grip." Without intending to do so a new word has been coined that exactly describe! tfte case. As if some hideous giant witt In the Hollow of a Tree.

The latest published in this class come from a person who took to studying for a few weeks the folk who eyed themselves in a certain elevator having two sides freely set with mirrors. His first attempt was to decide whether more women than men patronized the looking glass, during which he learned, perhaps to bis surprise, that the patrons were equally divided between the sexes. Next he fell to studying the object of each sex in this contemplation of self. with the result that he opined tbat men peered into the mirror for the sole purpose of seeing and approving themselves, while with women there seemed to be a desire to be sure that their bats were tipped at the right angle, and that j the numerous bows affected now by the fair sex were all in the place dictated by custom. Thus it seems to be established that vanity alone prompted the men to look, while a commendable wi6h to be "set right" animated th? women.?Boston Transcript Austrian cotton mills use 318,000,000 pounds of cotton ayear, two-thirds of wbich is American, The British Army under tie new scheme requires 50,000 recruits annually.
