Dreams.

Is all who are familiar with the D hi
losophy of dreams know, they are not
controlled by time or space. Hundreds
of cases are recorded where persons have
dreamed the events of years in few
seconds. Indeed, the dream faculty
seems sometimes to possess a miracul-
Gus retroactive effect. There is case
on record of gentleman who was awak-
ened by the report of pistol-shot. In
the instant before awakening he dreamed
that he had enlisted in the army; had
been sent out to India with his regiment !;
had been ill-treated by his superior Off
Ger had deserted /; had been captured
and sentenced to be shot had suffered !;
and that was the identical shot which
awakened him. The story of the Sultan,
also, is well known, who put his head
into basin of magic water, withdraw
ing it Immediately and in that brief
space he lived seven years of life. He
had fought battles had been dethroned,
and was about to be beheaded. Marvel
Gus as this seems, yet it is simple state
ment of fact that time and space are
conditions of the waking consciousness,
and in no way affect the state of dream
ing.

Grain Exports.

A New York dispatch says:
Zone of the most extensive grain
dealers in the country said to-day that
the exporters were taking every bushel
of grain that they could obtain. His
house alone is receiving 100, 900 bushels
of wheat each day, which is Immediately
sent abroad. He thinks the Produce Ex-
change is virtually outside of Wall
street influence, and that any difficulties
in the money market, occasioned by
stock speculations, will not materially
affect the dealers in produce. The peo-
pie of Europe want bread, and they will
get it if they are compelled to send gold
here for it."

Love, dost thou wait for me in some rich land
Where the gold orange hangs in odorous calm .
Where the clear waters kiss the fowery strand,
Bordered with shining sand and groves of palm
And while this bitter morning breaks for me,
Draws to it's close thy warm, delicious day;
Lights, coors, perfumes music, JOY for thee
For me the cold, wild sea, the cloudy grey!
Rises the red moon in thy tranquil sky,
Flashes the fountain with its silver talk,
Aud the evening wind begins to sigh,
Thy sweet girls shape steals down the garden walk
A white robe gimmering through the scented dusk,
Lingering beneath the starry jasmine sprays,
Where thy thick-clustering roses breathe of musk,
sudden gush of song thy light steps stays.
That was the nightingale, O love Of mine,
Hearst thou my voice in that pathetic song,
Sinking in passionate cadences divine,
Painting and failing with its rapture strong?
l stretch my arms to thee through all the cold,
Through all the dark across the weary space
Between us, and thy slender form fold,
And gaze into the wonder of thy face.
Pure brow, the mOonbeam touches, tender eyes,
Splendid with feeling, delicate smiling mouth,
And heavy silken hair that darkly lies
Soft as the twilight clouds in thy sweet South.
o beautiful my Love- in vain l seek
To hold the heavenly dream that fades from me
needs must wake, with salt spray on my cheek
Flung from the fury OF this northern sea.

NOVEMBER MORNING.
BIT onLIA THAxrKR.


Roaring, the wild Southwestern
Fills the wide heaven with It's clamor,
Ploughing the ocean and smiling
The land like ponderous hammer.
10, how the vast grey spaces
Wrestle and roll and thunder,
Billow piled upon bilow,
Closing.and tearing asunder.
As if the deep ragged with the anger
OF hosts of the fabulous kraken
And the arm house shudders and trembles,
Beaten, buffeted,l shaken!
Battles the gull with the tempest,
Struggling and wayering and ialtering,
Soaring and striving and sinking,
Turning, its high course altering.
Down through the cloudy heaven
Notes from the wild geese are falling,
Cries like harsh bel-tones are ringing,
Echoing, changing, and calling.
Plunges the schooner land-ward,
Swiftly the long seas crossing,
Close-reefed, seeking the harbor,
Half lost in the spray she is tossing.
A rift in the roof of vapor
Aud stormy sunshine is streaming
To color the grey, wild water
Like chrysoprase, green and cleaning.
Cold and tempestuous ocean,
Ragged rock, brine-swept and lonely,
Grasp of the long, bitter winter
These things to gladden. me only!

eight Of his colts. This famous stallion is well
known to the stock men of this section. Cham
pion was sired by Champion, Jr. and he by Grin.
nel's Champion, half brother to the Auburn
horse st. James and Castle Boy; his dam was
Red Bird His half sister, Lady Bachus, sold for
$4,000. He is chestnut, two white heels, small
star in the face and neatly built. His record as
fast trotter is splendid. He can be seen 10y
stock breeders this season at Mr.. Woods barn on
the above premises during the season
Besides this horse and his eight superior colts
on the same premises are about thirty of as fine
Berkshire pigs as are known anywhere. They are
thoroughbred and the pairs mostly not of kin
though equally well bred We saw there an acre
covered with pure bred chickens of the various
popular kinds.
Persons wanting pure stock Of either OF the
three sorts mentioned will do well TO call upon
Mr.. Wood or Mr.. John Fulton on the premises
We came near emitting to mention that Mr.

The Wcnona Union Fur last week was a
perfect success, numerically financially, and
in fact IN every respect The crowd was i'm.
mcnsc, fathers, mothers, and all their chill
dren were there, gross receipts over six thou
sand dollars. The display Of stock, cattle,
horses, mules, sheep, hogs &c, was superb,
and hard to beat, and it is questionable if it
has ever been eXcelled in Illinois. Floral
hall was literally crammcd with all sorts OF
fancy articles, too numerous to mention The
show of farm products was fine Premiums
were liberal and promptly paid in cash.
Monday was noted day for ToniCa in the

TSo radical government officials at balu
more have been caught in the same infamous
attempt that lately brough disgrace on the
postmaster at ST. Louis, to levy black mail on
their employees for electioneering purposes
This time the culprits are the Surveyor OF
the Port Gilpin, and the Naval officer, King,
and the object was to raise funds to promote
ballot box stuffing at the approaching cleo
tons in Virginia and Maryland. Some of
the clerks rebelled against the outrage, and
when threatened with dismissal, appealed to
Secretary Richardson, who, as the matter
was thus made public, was obliged to sustain
the guilty officials will be removed any more
than post master Filley was, at St Louis.

The Canal At Marseilles.

There has been a good deal of talk back
and forth and some feeling between the oifl-
GERS of the canal and the Water Power Com,
pany at Marseilles in reference to an effort
Of the latter to construct race in such
way as would flood one Of the culverts and
materially injure the canal near MarselIles'
The Marseiles Company having denied that
the proposed race would cause the damage
alleged the matter was referred to Mr., JENNIE,
the State Engineer, who after thorough cX-
animation, makes the following report on the
subject:
BRAzIL, Ind, Sept. 18th, 1913.
Hon. Btlr! 2J Cq,.a! Commissioners q the state q
Illinois!
GENTs-The application OF the Marscillcs Land
Il Water Power Co. for the privilege of eXcaya
ting It channel for Hydraulic purposes on the re-
served 90 feet strip OF land. about one quarter
mile below the main street at Marseillcs; and OF
flooding u culvcrt which conducts the water from
the opposite side under the canal, having been
referred 10 me for an examination by your hon
orablq Board, would very respectfully submit
the following report
On the 10Th inst. examined the premises ac-
companicd by two members of your Board ana
your Gen. Superintendent MIR. Bird Bicktord,
President OF the Land and Water Power Co., was
with US, and described and pointed ont what that
company desired TO do, and the privileges they
asked your Board to grant them, which are sub
stantially as follows;
To cut channel 10 feet wide and To ; feet
deep along the eastern edge Of the 90 feet re-
served land, for distance Of 100 TO 1000 feet in
length, and to build dyke or cmhankment be-
low, causing the water to set back through the
culyert under the canal, thus flooding about scy-
en- acres Of land, in order to create pool from
which 10 draw water for their Water Power
below.
From the statement of their engineer and the
measurements furnished me by Mr.. Thomas,
your General Supt. find that the comb Of the
company's dam is about 3 feet below the regular
canal bottom, but over this culyert the bottom IS
one foot lower, and at short distances either way
is two feet lower than regular bottom.
II is proposed to raise the comb of the dam two
feet higher, which viii make the surface water
in river al low water, one foot below canal bot
tom, or mitrc sill of lock, and one foot above
present bottom either side OF culvert
IN view of all the facts connected I would
your Board to act upon the applica-
ton rs follows:
Grant the permission TO cut the race as asked,
but require al the work OF excavation to be on
the river side of present ditch, and the material
cXcavatcd to be deposited along the foot of bank

On the general subject of Building Associa-
tons we clip the following from the Philadcl-
phia JOHUdi:
Philadelphia owes much to Building Associa
tions. our friends i'm other cities when speak
ing, or writing about Us, style Philadelphia vii
lagc but rarely fail to give us credit for the alb
scncc of the degrading evil known as :" The Ten
cmcut House System That we have escaped
this is almost solely attributable to our Building
Associations, which have enabled our thrifty me
chancs, artizaus and laborcrs to secure home
stcuds which they can call their own.
No better evidence of the benefit of Building
Associations need be sought for than can be
found by visiting any of our many suburbs, Ill III
as Frankfort Manyunk, llomcsburg, German
town, and NiCctOWu, where almost every resident
is a hOuscOwncr and stands ready to tell YOU
that he obtained it through a Building As,Ocia-
ton.
The benefits seem to be better appreciated in
the sections named than in the city proper.
Lately, however more interest seems manifest
and new associations are coming to the fore
freely; some are disposed to cry "halt,' but We
,ay keep !. up we cannot have too many for
some time yet beside, competition will have a
