Don't worry, dear. Badly off as we are, it's nothing to the fix: that poor outcast isin.\ They were indeed bad off. The past year had been a struggle for them. | Things had gone from bad to worse, The old house they had been left by Grandfather Ellis was mortgaged to the limit. John 'had lost his position in the town, Their creuit was exhaust- ed, the last cent. gone. Unless John found work they, were absolute pau- pers. , They sat thinking over this for some time in dead silence. They were startled as the door leading to the attic was opened. Thettramp faced them. \I did not stopito think,\ he said, I'm subject to night- mares. Sometimes I holler out like mad, sometimes L cavort around like a jumping jack.\ \Don't let that worry you, friend,\ directed John. \We're not sleeping any too good ourselves, these days.\ \That is true!\ sighed Nellie sadly, Mr. Valentine came up to his wife and kissed her fondly. Then they went over their prospects and plans. The first was dubious, the latter vague, but there was the home village where Nel- lie had lived to go back to a new start in life, much as it hurt the pride of John. His courageous spirit buoyed Nellie up. - She smiled through her tears. \There may be showers of blessings in store for us yet.\ she said brightly. \Oh John!\ In dismay she shrank back and in alarm John drew her to one side to evade a real shower of splinters and plaster. Evidently their tramp visitant- had one of his nightmares. 'There was a yast commotion overhead. A body seemed to bound from the bed with a yell. The rotted floor of the attic gave way. Down came plaster, laths, and. following, a bag, another, 2a third ! 'The fabric that composed them burst as the bags struck the table. Eagles and double eagles chinked, spun and rolled on the fioor. Coins, yellow, gleaming, pirouetted, | rolled, flooded the rag carpet-hundreds of them. Someone came hurrying down the rickety stairs. The tramp protruded an apologetic face beyond the door- way. \Don't be scared,\ he spoke with hu- mility. \It's only one of my night- mares. I broke through-thunder !\ He stared at the scattered gold, and John and Nellie stared, too. \Oh can't you understand?\ cried the quick-witted Nellie, but John only silently shook his head. \Grandfather Ellis, of course |\ pro- nounced Nellie excitedly. \You mean he hid his gold?\ \Between the floors,\ declared Nel- lie. \Don't you remember how he used to hat at a mch reward for those who cured for him in his declining years? And when he died he tried to tell ns something that was on his mind. OR. John, we won't have to leave the old home now !\ The tramp stood taking in the scene \Boss he spoke at last, \If I've brought you good luck I'm the happiest man in the world:\ He had, indeed, and he shared the glad fortune by giving up \the road\ fortunate nightmare had brought joy and plenty.

Section 1. Resolved (if the Assembly concur), That sections four and eleven of Article seven of the constitutisa be amended to tead as follows: §4. Except the debts specified in sections two and three of this article, no debts shall be \hereafter - contracted | by - or in - behalf of this state, unless such debt shall be - aw thorized by law, for some single work or object, to be distinctly specified therein{; and such]. No such debt heredfter authorized ahall be con- tracted for a period longer than that pf the probable life of the work ar object for which the debt is to be contracted to be determined by general laws, wohich determination shall be con- olusive, mor for more than fifty years from' the time of the contracting of suth debi. A debt hereafter contracted by the stats, pursuant to an authorization Rersafier made, and each portion of any such debt from thine to time so contract- ed, may, if provided by the law authorizing such debt, bo paid in equal annual instalments, the first of which shall be payable not more than one year, and the last of sohich shall be payable not more than fifty years, after such debt or por- tion thereof shall have been contracted. Buch law shall 4f it authorize fhe contracting of a debt payable otherwise than in equal onwual in- ataiments impose and provide for the collection of a direct annual tax to pay, and sufficient to pay, the interest on such debt as it falls due, and also to pay ind discharge the principal of such debt within fifty years from the time of the contracting thereof, - No [such] law author- izing the contracting of a debt pyrsuant to this section shall take effect until it shall, at a gen- eral election, have been. submitted to the people, and have received a roajority of all the votes cast for and agninst it at such election. On the final passage of such bill in either house of the legislature, the question shall be taken by ayes and noes, to be duly entered on the journals thereof, and shall be: | \Shall this bill pass, and ought the same to receive the sanction of the people?\ | 'The legislature may at any time, after the approval of such law by the people, if no debt shall have been contracted in pursuance thereof, repeal the same; and may at any time, by law, forbid the contracting of any further debt or liability under such law; but the tax, if any, imposed by such act, in proportion to the debt and Mability which may have been con: tracted in pursuance of such law, shall remain in force and bo irrepealable, and be annually collected, until the proceeds thereof shall have made | the provision hereinbefore | specified | to pay and discharge the interest and principal of such debt and lability. The money arising from amy loan or stock creating such debt ' or lability shall be apped to the work or object specified in the act authorizing such debt or lability, or for the payment of such debt or lability, and for no. other purpose whatever, No such law shall be submitted to be voted on, within three months after its passage or at any general election when any other law, or any bill shall be submitted to be voted for or against. The legislature may provide tor the issue of bonds of the state to Tun for a period not exceed- ing fifty years in lieu of bonds heretofore author- ized but not issued and shall Impose and provide tor the collection of a direct annual tax for the payment of the same as hereinbefore required. When any sinking fund created under this see- tion shall equal in amount the debt for which it was created, mo further direct tax shall be levied on account of said sinking fund and the legisla- ture shall reduce the tox to an amount equal to the accruing interest on such debt. The legisla- ture may from time to time after the rate of in- terest to be paid upon any state debt, which has been or may be authorized pursuant to the pro- visions of this section, or upon any part of such debt, provided, however, that the rate of inter est shall not be altered upon any part of such debt or upon any bond or other evidence thereof, which has been, or shall be created or issued before such alteration. In caso the legislature in- crease the rate of interest upon any such debt, or part thereof, It shall, {f auch (ebt be payable otherwise than in equal annual instalments, impo. - and provide for the collection of a direct annual tox to pry and sufficient to pay the in- creased or altered interest on such debt as it falls due and also to pay and discharge the principal of | such debt within fifty years from the time of the contracting thereof, and shall appropriate anntally to the sinking fund moneys | in amount sufficient to pay such interest and pay ' and discharge the principal of such debt when it shall become due and payable. $11. The legislature may appropriate out of any funds in the treasury, moneys to pry the recruing interest and principal of any debt here- ' tofore or herealter created, or any part thereof and may, if such debt be payable otherwise than in annual dnslolments, set spart in each fiscal year, moneys in the state treasury as a sinking fund to pay the interest as it falls due and to pay and discharge the principal of any debt heretofore or hereafter created under four of article seven of the constitution until the same shall be wholly paid, and the principal and income of such rinking fund shall be applied to the purpose for which rid sinking fund 4s created and to no other, purpose whatever; and, in the event such moneys to set apart in any fiscal year be suficient to provide suc stuking fund, a direct annual tax for such year need not be imposéd and collected, as required by the provisions of said section four of article seven, of of any law enacted {n' pursuance thereof.
