John Boyce was a village carpenter, and it cannot be said of him that he was a hardworking man. As a matter of fact, he was inclined to be lazy. He had a wife who was regarded as easy going, and the couple did not cut much of a figure In the estimation of the villagers. The only child of the Boyces when they had been married more than seven years was a son named Bob, sis years old. He wasn't dull, and he was not considered unusually smart just an average boy. If any one had predicted that he was going to turn that county inside out before he reach ed the age of seven he would have been looked upon as light in the head. The boy started bis career at the breakfast table one morning when be said: 'Father, did the lightning ever strike anything In Hillsdale?" "Not that I remember," was the reply. "But It's going to." "How do you know?" "Dreamed it last night" "What'll it strike?" "The Methodist meeting house. It'a going to strike the spire and bust it all to pieces and then burn the church down." "Bob, the cat must have been lying on your stomach." said the mother, who was somewhat impressed by his earnestness. "No, she wasn't." "It ain't worth minding." said the father as he left the table to fill his pipe. An hour later he met the pastor of the church on the street and told him what young Bob had dreamed. "Indigestion." replied the good man. On the afternoon of the third day thereafter a thunderstorm came. While the clouds were banking up the boy came in from play and said to his mother: ' "Now you watch out and you It see the church struck!" And so it hap- rvonerl. When it came to be generally known j that the boy had dreamed it, u was commented on as a curious thing, but it was the start of his career as a dream er. It was about two weeks later that be said to bis father: "Father, they are going to steal Mr. Enrlght's black horse." "How do yon know?" "I dreamed it last night. The horse was in a lot. and a strange man put a bridle on him and rode him off."

Mr.'Enright ana toia nun ortne dream and advised that the horse be locked in the barn o' nights. The owner laughed heartily and replied: "Don't let Bob dream that my mother-in-law is coming on to live with me." Two nights later the horse disap peared and was never heard of again. Young Bob didn't rush the dreaming business. It was four weeks later that he said: "Father, Mr. Jones, the constable, la going to be hurt." "How?" was asked. "I dreamed that a man hurt him." "What sort of a looking man?" "His nose was reddish, and he had bushy whiskers and was in his shirt sleeves." The constable was told, and he smiled and, replied: . "Boyce. do you believe In your boy's dreams?" "Yes, I think so." "Well, to show you that I don't bere'i a five dollar bill I'll bet against a fifty cent piece that this dream of his turns out to be nonsense." Mr. Boyce fished up the coin, and tne wager was made. That was in the forenoon. In the afternoon he drove out into the country to serve some pa pers on a farmer, and while talking with the man's wife at the door he was hit on the head with a club by the husband, who sneaked np behind. The assaulter had a reddish nose and bushy whiskers. The constable was in bed for two months, and the farmer ran away to avoid arrest The next dream was tbat Deacon Goodhue would lose his two cows if he didn't shut them up. When told of it he replied: "They roust take me for an old fool to think I would heed anybody's dream." "But that Boyce boy's dreams bave CDiue true." Two days later the deacon's cows were run over by a train on the rail road. This dreaming was uncanny. It was dangerous. It got on the nerves ot a whole county. In old Salem days they would have (denounced that boy as a wizard and roasted him at the stake. As it was, they ceuld do nothing but ask each other what should be done. It was a lightning rod man that solv ed the problem that puzzled all others. "I'm not a superstitious man," he said, as ail other men say. "but I don't want that boy dreaming that 1 fell from the roof of a barn and broke my back. Let's buy the family to move a thousand miles away and dream for tome other community." A committee had a talk with Mr. Boyce, and he agreed for the sum of $7,000 in cash to take his family and go west as far as trie west extenueo. ,Tbe money was raised, and the family j went, but it has never been known in Hillsdale Just where they settled or ir ! the boy Bob kept up the dream busl- j cess. !

IS DECISION AT WASHINGTON European Conflict Will Not Cause Trouble in Pan ama Waterway Washington, Aug. . Apprehensions in some quarters taut tne ranama rami will h the means of involving this coun try in difficulties because of the present Kuropean war arc not taken seriously by leading ofheials bere. It is recognized by Secretary Garrison and every one concerned that the main tenance of the strict neutrality of the canal might become a difficult question wider some circumstances, but the indi cations, in the opinion of men most com petent to judge, are that there will be no difficulty about it. While there lias been talk that the opening of the canal might be delayed later than Aug. 15, the date previously announced, it is the present intention of the war department to open it then. When it is open, Secretary Garrison has called attentinn to the fact that by the Hay-Paunccfote treaty "any warship of any nation will have the right of peace able and uninterrupted passage through it." Some suggestion has been made that warships of some of the nations now at war might attempt to use the canal be fore it was formally opened. ' But the rashness of such an attempt, with the United States prepared as it is to de fend the canal, makes such a thing high ly improbable. Naval experts here, through maintain ing a neutral stand, naturally look at the paper strength of the navies of Eng land and Germany and take the view that the German naval forces, if not de feated shortly by Kngland, will at least be confirmed to 'their home ports. Ger man shipping will not go to sea while the present crisis is on. The result will he that the world will not see the spec tacle of English warships chasing Ger man warships or merchant vessels over the seas in miscellaneous fashion, nor can it be presumed a situation will arise in which the Germans will be chasing the English and French about. In other words, there is no likelihood of hostile warships menacing each other in the region of the Panama canal. Such European warships or merchant vessels as use the canal after it is opened, it is believed here, will use it in proper and orderly fashion. It is pointed out that situations may arise which will be troublesome to the opt-ration of the Sue canal and are much, more apt to do so than with re spect to the Panama canal.

Cle ment, once a candidate for governor of Vermont and since then a mayor of Rut land, to-day announced his candid: y for the Republican nomination for gov ernor. His announcement was as tol lows : "To the Republicans of Vermont: "Through the newspapers and in many private letters my name has been sug gested as a candidate for governor "f Vermont. If nominated by the Repub lican party, I shovld like to make the campaign. "In a Republican form of government political parties are necessary to a good administration of public affairs. "A non-partisan candidate is like a. privateer in time of war. Responsible to no party and therefore not to be re lied upon to assist in constructive legis lationfor that is the work of parties, not of individuals he must remain a political privateer until some party is deve oned to ht ms principles, or unwi he can adapt his principles to sonu tf fective political organization. "The executive head of a state shou'd have the support of a dominant party and he accountable to that i party fdr his official acts. In this way only can responsible public government be cstAb-l hshed. Some Changes He Has Proposed. "In times past I have made soma proposals for changes in state govern ment and public policies which have bvn adopted, and among them a proper sys tem of accounting. Under the direction of the auditor of accounts we now have a complete statement of the state re ceipts from taxes and its expenses, hut we fail to make the best use or me knowledge we have at hand. We ought to get this information to the attention of the legislators before they corvine to take action on the state business. "Our leeislators are honest men, thor oughly Imbued with the importance of the w'ork they have undertaken, but for the moat part they are inexperienoed in legislation, and consequently the first part of each session is occupied in get ting acquainted with the needs of the state, and the real legislative action is crowded into the last days of the ses-,io:i when the voters are calling for adjourn ment. When session have been pro longed it has been because the legisla tors, through being unacquainted with measures proposed, have been at a loss to know what should be done, and not, so far as I know, becauw! the members are inclined to spin out the time of the session for the per dieci compensstnn. A Budget Needed. "A budget should be i-rpared from the auditor's accounts, showing on one side the income of the state from all sources and upon the other the expenses which must be met, such as court ex penses, the cost of the state hospital, prisons, etc., and in addition the ex penses of ihe schools, highways, etc., which are somewhat more open to leg islative action, and lastly the balance of income which is at the disjiosal of the incoming legislation. "If such a budget were properly pre pared and plated in the hands of the legislators thirty days before thv! leg islature convenes, the members coHl inform themselves upon the general bus iness of the state and be prepared for action in the early days of the session. "I believe such a plan would be w' comed by the -gislators themselves, ai d such a budget would aid in cutting down the state expenses, which have reached a formidable sum. "In 1103 the general expenses of the tate government were WnT.OOO: in 1005, $5S0.OOO; in 1W7, $676,000; in l!HW, $942,000; in 1911, $1,077,01)0: in 1913, $1,4 93.000. These were all legislative years, and do not include the cost of the administration of justice the courts. "The expenses of the courts show a teadv increase also. In 1!03 the courts root '$23S.lnO; and in 1913. $3S3.000. The salaries of the judges hav been properly increased, but that will not account for the increased annual coat of $14S,00il court expenses with litiga tion remaining about the same. "It is apparent that notwithstanding the high character of the judges the CONSTIPATION OR COMFORT?

Strangely enough, the old-time reme dies fr this very common complaint were nauseating doses and so powerful that they often made the condition worse than before.

"The steadily mounting total of state expenses should also be carefully re viewed, especially in the departments of legislative expense, the administra tion of justice and the conduct of the various state commissions, departments and institutions, with a view to correct ing extravagance, so that more money may be had for those 'enterprises w hich return to all of us, such as schools, good roads and the reforestation of our waste lands. 4 'With a legislature thoroughly in formed in regard to the needs of the state, ami executive authority propeny concentrated, much could he gained by wav of efficiency in the administration of state business. Increase Efficiency of the Legislature. "Meanwhile careful thought should be given to increasing me eincwm-y i legislature and shortening the length of its sessions by the election of experi enced members to both houses and the subsequent adoption of accepted rules of procedure which tend to dispatch bus iness promptly and eliminate non-essential measures'. Less legislation, instead of more, would be a proiitable rule for the incoming legislature. "The matter of first importance to Vermont is the moral and physical wel fare of her sons and daughters who live within her borders. c should nave such a reorganization of our school sys tem as well make the rural schools more efficient.'

"Thp uresent state policy in relation to good roads has proved a success and should be continued. Money expended for highways is not a state expense bnt paving investment.

"It past party.' msv not he necessary to speak of achievements of the Republican but a few facts tending to ex the present trend back to that plain nartv are fundamental to my position. 'From ISM to 190t5 this country was in the nands of the Republican party practicallv all the time. That party fought the Civil war to a successful ter mination and established such a benefi cent government that the country grew and prospered as no other ever did since history made records of men's deeds. "During that period the increase in national wealth was over $100,000,000, 000 held in reserve. "We built over 200,H)0 miles of rail roads during that time and the num ber of families who lived in their own homes increased to over lrt.ono.OOO in ltVSt. These lipures are almost beyond comprehension.

Thoughtful men of all parties throughout the nation to-day are tui ninir to the Republican party with eyes of hope, '"The leaders of the Democratic party have also shown that they are totally unlit to cope with the complex questions involved in our relations with foreign countries, having, in fact, made this na tion the laughing-stock of Europe by their blundering in Mexico and their mistakes abroad. "As a Chautauqua attraction, the Democratic party is a success; as a governing force it is a failure. "Has the Republican party men of the old-time courage, who will again take the reins of government and by wise legislation nnd a moderate tariff, framed to protect the interests of ' labor and manufacturing, bring back the good times of the McKinley administration: the busy mill and the fat pay- envelope! Thn country is ready to welcome the Republican party back to power. "Previous to the convention, I do not desire' to advance my candidacy by send ing emissaries to solicit support, but if this brief statement should strike a re sponsive chord among th Republicans of Vermont, I shall at least enter the campaign with the courage of my con victions, for I believe that the Repub lican party is the party of high ideals and constructive leadership.
