looked for another development. This time there was a decidedly different picture. There was a large room full of office desks occupied by important looking men. Marble columns rose on each side of the room and ir. the front of the room a large American eagle sat above the sign “Senate Chamber.” The men at the desks seem-d greatly interested in the speech that was being made by a man who resembled the tall member of the “class oi 1907. ' The anti-saloon league had found a man to expound their cause. The early training of the man as a farmer boy had given 1dm a character similar to that of Abraham Lincoln. He had been enthused with the pinciplc tor which he was fighting and this speech was to move a body of law makers to pas a national local option bill. The work of his life was to be an important one. Nations would know that he had lived. The gray haired priest recorded this event and waited for the next vision. The place was a library stock room. Here were thousands of l mks. In one ot the stocks were some twenty or thirty volumes, all of which looked alike. A yoang man entered the room and took down one of these volumes and opened it. On the first page was written History of World in twenty eight volumes by Clyde Clingan Pn.u.; L). 0.: L. T. K. G. S.

The composer in her long hi- li.ul found out how to sympathize with her tel low being and was now composing a master piece, fnll of Love an i Devotion. “This seenii to be a rather interesting set, remarked Demoduca, as he turned the scroll to make a new record- This time another old lady occupied the scene. Around her several children were playing, and one little girl sat on her knee listening to stories of the time when »irandmother went to school. Those days were long ago nefore Grandma became such a noted story writer. Now s'.i- was giving up her time to telling stories to amuse her grandchildren. Although she had gained fame, still sue enjoyed best of all to entertain this littlegirl Margaret Tiie little one had been named after her grandmother. “Now, Margaret, said the white haired lady, We can't have any more stories today for Grandma must go to visit this girl I have b. en telling you ab nit. S i j is no.v old like Grandma. She is the lady you heaid talk about cooking down at the auditorium yesterday Now Grandma will have to go. “Well that finishes that bur.clf said Dt moducu picking up a new scroll.
