THE GAINESVILLE NEWS, WEDNESDAY JUNE 18, 1902,
Him ana waiter lor liim to awalcen.
After a few moments a sleigh pass
ed by on the street with ringing
bells. As the first tones of the bells
reached the room the sleeper
awoke.
“Doctor,” he said, “I am so glad
that yon awakened me, for I had a
terrible dream that,lasted for sev
eral hours. I dreamed that 1 was
sick and that my little brother Rob
came into the room with a string of
the most horrible sounding bells
and rang them in my ears. I could
not move or speak to him. The
dream seemed to last for so. long a
time, and I am so glad that you
awakened me.”
A" ringing of those bells for one
second, had caused all of that dream
and just at the waking moment.
A Trick With an Egg.
Make a little hammock of muslin,
to be suspended by four threads,
and after having soaked this in salt
water and thoroughly dried it place
in it an eggshell, which has been
emptied bv a blowpipe through a
hole drilled in the side. After the
supposed egg has been satisfactorily
shown to be in the hammock beyond
all doubt set the whole affair afire
at both ends and the bottom. With
in a moment the hammock and its
supports will be consumed, but,
wonder of wonders, the egg lies on
a swinging bridge of ashes high
above the floor!
This curious little semiseientific
experiment has been performed on
a gigantic scale in one of the Lyons
theaters, where a manilla hammock
and an asbestus baby were used.—

Roosevelt Roundly Scored.
Washington, June 14 —Grover
Cleveland, m the height of his
unpopularity at the capitol, was
not more rouudiy abused by bis
party than Theodore Roosevelt is
being by some Republicans of the
senate and house. His special
message on the Cuban bill seems
to have intensified the split in the
Republican ranks, and more than
oue Republican has declared that
message to be the worst piece of
politics since Cleveland’s veto of
the seigniorage bill.

FOR THE LITTLE ONES
A Game That Is Good Training In the
Study of Geography.
There must be a leader, some one
who is “pretty good in geography”
and is capable of doing some quick
thinking himself. Any number of
players may take part in the game.
When all are seated, the. leader takes
his place in front of them and tells
them that he is goingtogive them
the name of a state and a letter of
the alphabet and is then going to
count five slowly.
While he Is counting five all the
players must be trying to think of
a city or town in the state he called
whose name begins with, the given
letter. For example: Suppose lie
gives Maine as the state and F as
the letter, then the players must all
try to think of a city or town in
Maine the name of. which begins
with the letter F. It is necessary
for them all to do the thinking, for
he has a right to ask any one. of
them for the answer, and they nev
er know which one of them it is go
ing to be.
When he has received a correct
answer, he may ask another player
to name some other town beginning
with the same letter, or he may
change the letter two or three times.
Then he names some other state
and continues the game as long as
it interests the players.
If the game is played at home or
by a little company of boys and
girls, a prize should be offered for
most, correct answers. — New
Sometimes he’s a brave young soldier.
With a R£per cap on his head.
With a lath for a sword, a stick for a

He goes forth on his mission dread.
But after the foes are banished
And all of the strife is o’er
He goes to his snug little trundle cot.
