"Of course I believe in presenti-
ments," said Bud Hark ins. "One of
the moot vivid things that ever oc-
curred to me in that way happened
about a year ago. I was in New Mex-
ico, and my tfife and baby were in
ToledC. One night I was lying in
bed and had not yet gone to sleep,
when a mist seemed to envelop the
room, and out frum the mist came «i
picture of my wife leaning over the
baby, and to my horror the child was
dead.
"I tried to shake off the idea, but I
could not. It haunted me all that
night and kept me from doing any
work the next day. There was no
telegraph station from which I could
telegraph, and if there had l»een it
wotud nave done no good. I knew
just as well as though I had been
present that the child was dead. I
left the night after my vision for
home, telegraphing at the earliest
possible opportunity.
"All the way to Chic.ipo 1 had a
feeling that I should not take the
first train to Toledo; that there would
be an accident, and when I reached
the city 1 was actually relieved to
flpd that we had missed connection.
I telegraphed to my wife, and she an-
swered fully there. "
A chorus ot voices asked, "Had it
happen
apjpeyed? I wasn't talking nl>ou
Nothing had happens
happened, just as in the vision;"
"Haj
I was only talking about presenti-
ments, and I believe in them Wauso
I have had them."-New Orleans
Times-Democrat.
Knocked Ont by a Sanerkraut Explosion.
A German living on Potato moun-
tain made a barrel of sauerkraut and
thought to preserve the aroma of
the fermented cabbage in all of its
freshness by driving both heads of
the barrel tight and nailing down
the bung. Finally he decided that
his kraut was about ripe and went
to the cellar to examine it. He had
hardly entered the cellar when his
family was startled by a terrific ex-
ilosion. Something struck the floor
ineath them hard enough to loosen
the boards, and the air was filled
with the flavor of newly ojtened
kraut.
The man's wife hurried to the cel-
lar, where she found her husband
lying on the floor, his whiskers, hair,
clothing and the ceiling of the cellar
filled with shreds of cabbage, while
the barrel was in pieces and scat-
tered about the room. The man was
unconscious, but recovered soon aft-
er being carried up stairs. He stated
that as soon as he had knocked the
top hoop from the barrel the cask
exploded with the force of a steam
boiler, driving him against the ceil-
ing so hard that the boards were
loosened. The fermentation had
caused gas to generate, and when ho
agitated the stuff by driving the
hoop it let go with the force of an
igpited barrel of gunpowder.—Oil
Oty Derrick.
The lUrometrr of thc» Senate.
The movements of the press gallery
overlooking the senate chamber are
doubtless the safest barometer of the
importance of the doings on the floor
below. If the gallery seats are well
taken up. something is s\jrely tran-
spiring in the cbamlter that is worth
watching. If they are empty, the
proceedings are apt to ]K>ssess no in-
terest, The public may be mistaken,
and the visitors' galleries may l>e
overflowing, but the curiosity seek-
ers do not possess the delicate in-
stinct of foretelling impending crises,
and if the press gallery be empty,
though expectancy be written on ev-
ery face that peers down from the
crowded balconies, no gladiatorial
feats of competing oratory need bo
looked for, aha disappointment will
overtake him who disregards the
signs.-Washington Post.
An Old Colonial Horror.
At Freehold, N. J., a negro ;
once executed in a manner that would j
have made the torturers of the mid- j
die ages blush with envy. An old doc- J
ument in the clerk's office at thai
place tells the tale: "Therefore th<3 .
court doth judge that thou, the said j
Ceesar, shall return to the place from I
whence thou earnest, and from thence 1
to the place of execution, where thy j
right hand shall be cut off and burned |
before thy eyes. Then thou shalt be j
hanged by the neck till thou art dead,
dead, dead. Then thy body shall bo
cut down and burned to ashes in a
fire kindled for that purpose, and
may the Lord have mercy on thy
soul.':
The Pilgrim*.
Hon. William F. Davis of Plym-
outh, while delivering an address in
Boston, entitled "Who Were the
Pilgrimssaid: ' The name 'Pilgrim'
was suggested by a casual remark of
Governor William Bradford in his
history, when, in speaking of the
sorrow felt by the Plymouth colony
at leaving Leyden he said, 'But they
knew they were pilgrims and looked
not on such things.' It was used for
the first time by Judge John Davis in
his ode, 'Sons of Renowned Sires,'
written for the celebration of the
landing in 1792."—Philadelphia Rec-
ord.
Jack Tar and His Mouej.
Sailors are almost the only class of
workingmen who have considerable
sums ol money to sjxmd on payday.
A jolly tar was buying a watch. The
pnee was |40. Jack bought the watch
without any higgling and carelessly
threw down a $20 bill. The jeweler
pointed out the deficiency.
"Oh! 'was the remark. "I didn't
know I had that I'm so much in.''
And he fished another bill out of a
greasy wallet and threw it on the
■Showcase It was a $50 bill.— Jewel-
er»' Circular.
