A TIN CUP VERDICT.
Yes, I had thrown aside .
and was out in the great world making
things lively. From one position to
another 1 had risen, nod in the eyes of
the people had come to occupy a very
enviable position Although not yet
twenty-live, 1 thronght 1 had been
elected tu congress and wu signing M
C. after my usme. And about the time
I was making my first speech in the
time honored halls of the National Capi
tal, 1 turned over suddenly and awoke.
Not even my congressman's scat left
n>e, and worse than all to be told by an
eminent lawyer that even my dream
wu unconstitutional, since it takes an
age of twenty-live years to qualify one
fur a congressman.
And this leads to make an observation
of dreams. Are they to be reliedjftn with
any degree of certainty ? Or, are tbey
merely caused by the physical condi
tion of man, only to vanish and be for-
gutton forever? You would be surpris
ed to tlml what a difference of opinion
exists on this subject. 1 would like to
believe the former question, for then 1
might some day become u celebrated
congressman, but with the lights before
uie 1 must lieliuve the latter, and heuue
am sure that when 1 awcke from slum
ber, the last of my congressmau’s seat
was seen.

*
Yet we find in the Bible frequent re-
fereuce as to God appearing to his ser
vants in dreams, and instructing them
how to do, and what to say. God is un
changeable. Therefore, the question
arises, does lie appear to Uis people in
Visions! 1 This question cannot well be
answered, but the suggestion may be
thrown out, that if A man be as devoted
in his service to tiod as were the Ser
vants of (Jod in olden times, there might
be soon things as diviuu revelations
through tiie medium of dreams.
Martin Luther, tue great reformer
had a very impressive dream once. He
was asleep, and as he slumltcred on, the
licvil came to biiu with a long scroll in
his hands and began unrolling it. All
over its surlace was wiillen in black
and bini-ous letters the record of his
sms. I'tie Devil chuckled, and inward
ly uiniighl, “1’vo got Inu: now.’* Lu-
tuer was culm and unperturbed as the
scroll continued to unroll and the sins
became blacker and blacker. As the
end ot me scroll was nearly reached,
t • ll.-vd censed to unroll it. Lullier ex
claimed : ‘"Hull on, roll on.” And the
scroll was completely unrolled. Across
tne very bottom written in letters of
crimson were these words: “The
blood ol Christ clean-eLli from all sins.’
And with this the Devil vanished.
To illustrate the power exerted by
dreams over the will and coriseienee of
tna ikind, it may be related that it was
a dream that caused the immortal John
Howard Payne to write that sweetest of
songs, “Home, Sweet Home.”
i’ayne had run away from his home
in America, and wa- wandering around
tne streets of London without a decent
habitation iu which to live. Cue night
he uad a wonderful dream. He saw iu
the him distance tile home of bis boy
hood. The little thatched cottage, al
most covered with the twining vines,
aud shaded by the large oak trees, be
neath which he bad so often played
when the heart was young and gay.
He saw his parents as tney went to and
fro among its hallowed aceue*. And a
spirit of longing came, drawing him
neur> r to the dear old hearts be had
lelt behind. The vision changed. Toe
little cottage faded from the sight, and
between the dreamer and the vision
mere came a great, dark cloud.
Aciosstbe cloud, written in letters of
Ate were these words: “A wanderer
and a vagabond shall thou be all the
days of thy life.” He started up and
awoke, the next day he converted the
vision into verse. Tnat vislou has ren
dered bis name immortal.

It seems to me tuat a man with prop
er enterprise and pluok could make a
fortune it he would write a book em
bodying all the curious dreams he ootid
hear of. You can scarcely get into a
crowd without hearing six or eight cu
rious dreams related. A fortune awaits
the man who writes such a book. The
Lazy Man would subscribe to one whole
book for himself.
Are we responsible for our dreams?
•To a great degree we are. If we are
imprudent in eating, or observing any
of the laws of health, we are afflicted
with hideous dreams, and so far as that
is concerned sometimes by very pleas-
nut dreams are we entertained in our
•lumbers. Again, it one dwell upon a
subject- in bis u»in«K his dreams are
pretty well tinctured with that subject.
s%
As a dosing observation to this arti
cle, allow the Lasy Man to make a phil
osophical utterance, applied to himself
as well as to others, and oue that will
do to be laid aside for reference.
Dreaming and building air-castles is a
practice ouly too common among us.
It would be better if we thought less
.of the morrow and more of to-day.
“To him that o’ercometh, God glv-
•etb a crown.”
Subsequently the Lazy Man will dis
course upon nightmares, and thinks he
can give some lively descriptions ol
these beasts of darkness.
Tux Last Max.
The son was low toward the western
peaks when Old Jones and his nephew
baited their teams for the night. Old
Jones and bis relative were freighters,
and the crack of their long, shot filled
mnle whips and the creak of their heavy
wagons had been heard in half of the
cam pa of Colorado.
The four wagons tonight were swung
into the segment of a circle, and the
moles were hobbits] and cant loose from
the straps in which, through the day.
they pulled. At this relief these grate
ful slaves stood about ami attested their
joy in the loud cries peculiar to their
kiwi. bnt which are so unfortunate in
their lack of harmony. To stop this
racket the nephew went about giving
them their vesper feed. This he placed
in moire Is. or nose bags, which he hung
to their hungry beads. Old Jones built
a fire and began the compilation of an
intricate bnt savory dish known to thoss
happy ones who have the recipe as
“freighter’s stew."
Supper over, the two freighters sat
abont in the lurking shadows made by
the fire's blink and glimmer, smoking
their pipes. All at once there was a
commotion in the bund of mnles. Those
patient folk who had scrambled and
palled all day over a rough mountain
trail with wagons loaded on the princi
ple of 1.300 pounds to a mule, and who
now. in the proprieties of mule life,
tlionld be tit peace and rest with the
world, were charging abont and snort
ing in a very alarming way.
“Injuns!" said Old Jones, shoving
back into the gloom. “Injuns, for a
thousand dollars! There an’t no animal
on earth, bar Injnns, ever makes mules
take on that a-way.*/
The nephew thought so too. Old
Jones and the nephew did not fear au
attack. There were no Indians about
that wore not described as friendly. '
Bnt what they did fear was that the
mnles might be stampeded. Stamped
ing stock is a great aboriginal industry.
The Indian will stampede your cattle or
mules and then claim one dollar n head
for finding them for yon. Tims do these
wise sons of nature fill their coffers and
exact a revenue from those who cross
their lands.
Joues’ nephew took a Winchester from
the wagon and began to work his cau
tious. silent way toward the mules.
Those last were still snorting and shy
ing as if prey to wild al.arm. The
nephew disappeared in the darkness.
Old Jones placed his hand over his pipe-
bowl so its. fiery eye could not be seen
and peered after him into the gloom.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!" It was the
Winchester speaking it told the Indian
policy of the border—and a very suffi
cient good policy it is too. Old Jones,
at the sound, heaved a sigh, bnt never
moved. After a little the uephew came
in to the fire. Hi' seemed alert, hopeful
and unrelenting us to the Winchester
Indian policy.
“Dili you stretch one?” said Old Jones.
“1 think most likely 1 did,” said the
nephew in a sanguine way. “We can
tell in the loomin', shore.”
The mules were now quiet. Firearms
had no terrors for them. They could
stand the odor of gnnpowder, bnt of In
dians—bah! No mnle of taste could
stand it for a second. After another
half hour Old Jones and his nephew
kicked out the einbera of their fire and
went to sleep.
Old Jpnes and his nephew had visitors
in the morning. The whole Ute tribe
and their agent came down to the freight
ers’ camp. The members of the Jones
family at once seized their Winchesters
and alacrionsly prepared for war. The
Utes ran abont. jamping and yelling and
demanding vengeance. Old Jones and
his nephew stood silent and grim behind
their wagon and showed their iron teeth.
The agent insisted on peace. “Wonld
the Jones who had killed the Ute the
night before give himself up? He would
be guaranteed from harm, bnt the Utes
insisted on his arrest. They—the In
dians—wonld attack the wagons if the
criminals did not surrender." Bo spoke
the agent—a nervous little incompetent,
as many an Indian agent is.
“Give up nothin'," said Old Jones de
risively. “Yon tel] them Utes if they
want anything ’round here to waltz in
and get it.”
The Utes howled and danced still
harder and higher at this, and the agent
talked more earnestly than ever. He
threatened the Joneses with the power
of the government. This was too much.
Tbey would fight the whole Ute tribe,
bnt they were afraid ot Uncle Bam.
( After a brief parley the nephew stepped
out and gave himself np to the agent
He wonld have displayed more sense if
he had remained behind his wagon and
died in the smoke of his Winchester.
The agent the nephew and the Utes
did not go a mile toward the agency be
fore the Indiana took the nephew, and
tying him to a pine tree spent several
blissful hoars in torturing him to death.
The agent was powerless to interfere.
'Jones, the elder, fonnd the truth the
evening of the same day. He turned a
little pale under the thirty years of tan
which browned his face, bnt said noth
ing. As well as he could be hitched np
his teams and went ahead. His coarse
was slow. Where the going was easy
the nephew’s team—eight mnles—could
follow the others and got along all right
Where it was rough Old Jones halted
wonld undertake the enterprise. He did
not think it should east s«A -It is
dead easy to do.” he said. “Jest rids
ca'mly np to the agency and beef him.
aad then ride away. That oughtn't to
cost no fortune," and be w*s willing to
give a “hose and outfit” aad $108.
“Ill go - you.” said a had looking gen
tleman called Curly BilL
Curly Bill was certainly a very bad
man. as any one might see by examining
his six shooter. He bad filed away the
as superfluous to one so sore and
u and had taken oat the trigger. trust
ing to explode his interesting weapon by
the simple process of letting the hammer
fall from his thumb. These changes in
the ground plan of a Colt's 44 always
bespeak a bad man the wide west over,
and such was Curly Bill, the personage
who wanted to hire ont to kill the agent.
Preliminaries were arranged and the
horse and outfit were turned over, in
company with $300 of the $500, and Curly
Bill rode away on his long poll for the
Ute agency.
Six weeks and their happenings were
added to history, and so far nothing
floated back from Curly Bill. One after
noon be rode again into the camp in the
Unnnuon country. The public crowded
shoot to lwini of his success. Curly Bill
got ont of the saddle and stepped into a
saloon. The public followed, and, at his
request, took a drink with him. At last
Old Jones put the question:
“Did you get him. Curly?”
“No." said Cnrly BilL
“Why not?”
“Well,” said Curly Bill, with an
amiable drawl, “I’ll tell yon what’s the
■natter. Yon see the enss offered me
$1,000 to come back and down yon.”
There was a profound Rilcnce. Old
Jones seemed thoughtful and cast down,
and the public wailed. At last Old Jones
put another jierliueat inquiry.
“Well, whatever do yon allow you'll do
abont it?”
“Whatever!! yon do abont it?” said
Curly Bill. “Will yon raise him?”
“S'pose I don’t raise him?” said Old
Jones: “s’pose I don’t even call him?'
and an ugly glare begau to shine in his
watery, gray eyes; albeit his voice was
low and his face calm.
“Well." said Curly Bill, with vast non
ohalanbe. “in that event 1 reckon I’ll
have to go him."
The public took a deep breath at this'
announcement, and Old Jones seemed
plunged ii; thought again. At last he
fonnd his voice.
"I’ll think this yere Blatter over, Bill,
and 1 reckon on fixing np something so
you won't complain none of me. Yon be
yere and I'll come back in an lionr.”
Then Old Jones proceeded straight to
his wtigons. got his Winchester, anil
coming in the buck door of the saloon
wherein Curly Bill was refreshing him
self after the campaign, blew that cele
brated person’s head off withont a word
Old Joues then gave himself np to the
citizens' committee and demanded
trial. It was had at once. Every man
in the cHmp knew of the killing and its
entire history. They all approved it too
It was esteemed, however, not ft proper
thing to allow the plot to kill the agent
to go abroad to the world. Tiie account
might, in unskillful hands, become gar
bled aud hurt the camp’s reputation
So when Old Jones wasacqmtied, which
denoument was rapid in its coming. the
verdict read thus:
'• Jestitied killin’ on account of Cnrly
Bill insultin’ of Old Jones' wife.”

This great compendium of history, biography, geography, science, art and
literature is especially designed to bnng before American readers, in accessible
shape, all the valoable information contained in the great publication upon
which it is based—the Ninth Edition of the Encyclopndia Britannic*.
IT TREATS EVERY SUBJECT,
Large or smell, mentioned in the original, and of several thousand topics not to
be found in that work. It tells, at /length commensurate with the importance
of each, of everything which the scholar, the student, the professional and busi
ness man can wish to know about. With infinite labor the rich store-house of
the original has been overhauled, its treasures of fact conserved, its wealth of
material utilized.
The Americanized Encyclopaedia Britannica
Is valuable because it is accurate, because it is modern, because it has rejected
the worthless-and preserved the necessary, because it brings the history of
acience, literature, commerce, geography and discovery, and the mental aod
