Something About Dreams.

What like as much as anything else
about dreams is their spicy variety.
You can't always do as you please in a
dream, but you can do everything else,
and the scenes shift SO often that Won
don't have time to tire of any one of
them; then. too, you can be so many
things in dream.

had the other night while trying to
sleep Off a late terrapin supper.

theater and stood in the box-office SELL
ing seats and taking in dollars by the
thousands. There was a great crowd
surging outside, some of the people try-
ing to get to the ticket-window. Others
pushing and elbowing their way to-
ward the entrance in a manner rude
enough to be quite life-like. All at once
a masked robber jumped out from be-
hind tree, grabbed my horse by the
bit and intimeted to me in a most un-
gentlemanly manner that my longevity

changed its course and that we were

but that we were scooting along at the
schedule rate of speed, and would prob
ably fetch up somewhere or other at
some time or other. While I was tiring
myself trying to make him understand
that If the engine were reversed we

laudable occupation of throwing the
steerage passengers overheard into the

out to the barn and began hitching INV

any man who wants more OF IL in the
same length of time ought to take his
meals from atrough and run down to
the sea in droves and do divers other
things suitable and properly appertain-
ingto hts race and breed.
Another thing that S4I like about
dreams is their industry and economy.
One able-bodied dream can get in more
work and travel farther and consume
more time TO the minute than all the
kings horses and all the kings men

BOHEMIAN BOB.
Ohio's Lieutenant Governor in a Bad
Plight.

One of the coolest swindies upon in
nocent farmers, ever put on record, in
print or in police court, comes in un-
der the name of Bohemian oats. A
gang of fellows, shrewd, plausible and
impudent, formed themselves into q
combination to sell Bohemian oats.
This sort OF oats differs from no other
save in its peculiar appearance and in
ferior quality.
The mode of selling was this: The
agent, an active drummer in store
clothes, assailed the granger with an
exaggerated claim in behalf of said oats.
He then offered to sell ten bushels for
So bushel, with an agreement to pur-
chase, when the crop should come in,
the entire product at $40 per bushel,
twenty-five per cent. off for commits
sion. For this he took the farmers
note, payable in six months, and to in
sure the farmer that all was fair show
ed him real estate pledges to the Bo-
hemian Oats company to five times the
amount. This bit of real estate, worth
81 900 stood good for contracts that run
up to 100000. OF course when the
crop came ready for the market, the
agent could not be found, but the note
was found in the hands of an innocent,
so-called, purchaser, who proceeds to
collect.
Now, the success of this bunko busi-
ness, rests, altogether, on the innocent
purchaser, not Of the seed but of the
note, and, what the public is interest
ed in, is to know who these guileless
purchasers are.
This is being developed. A farmer
according to the Bellefountaine Index
went to the county seat to employ q
lawyer to resist the collection. He
could not find one. All were innocent
purchasers. All had been operating in
deal in notes having q Bohemian oats
foundation.
Now, the bar of Bellefountaine is re-
nOWned throughout the state. 1t has,
for example, the ex-iustice of the su-
preme court, the Hon. William West.
1t has the well known William Law
renee. 1t boasts Of the Hon. Bob Ken
nedy of gavel fame.
Can it be that these eminent and able
men have tainted their good names and
tarnished their records by aiding in
this infamous swindle? Alas! it seems
but true. And, Bob Kennedy, Lieuten-
ant Governor Bob, whose shining gavel
Is SO renowned, is said to have thous !.
ands of dollars In true, unquestionable
paper. The Telegram says unquestion-
able in a moral sense. What it may be,
legally, is further along, and the great
and notably good Bob, who knocked
the "boodlersn right and left, had his
pockets full of these frauds at the very
moment he was shining his gavel in a
maintenance Of right.
Thus do bright things come to sud-
den conclusion. .sg
Let a. committee ofinvestigation be
appointed; with power to send for per-
sons and papers; naught else will salts
