POINTS ABOUT DREAMS
SATlRICAL COMMENTS FOR SUPER
STITloUS DRsAMERS.
If You Dream of Your Creditors 1t Means
That You Are in Debt-Lovers Should
Never Dream of Deggars or Soldiers.
Don't Dream of Eating Garlic.

Don't Dream of Eating Garlic.
To dream in path both straight and fair,
Your wurl, doth happiness declare;
But crooked ways denote much i'll
To those who have a headstrong will.
Of course if you happen to dream about
crooked paths you can get out of it on the
ground that you are not possessed of
headstrong will, and that it is as near
as dreams ever come true. If the sign
is right, it was the dream that did it; if
the thing comes out as you had no reason
to expect you can change it to one of the
many exceptions that are required to prove
the rule that dreams are reliable.
There used to be an old woman down in
Illinois who had implicit faith in anything
she saw printed. If there were any ques-
ton of the accuracy of a statement, and
one could bring her newspaper declara-
ton on the subject, she was convinced, and
never again had 4 doubt. Now it would be
highly improper for the skeptical reader to
ask what she would have done had She
happened to find counter statements on
any subject
Questions of that kind would knock the
sentiment out of any old woman, or old
theory either, for that matter. And if that
living let them he informed that dreams do
come true. This cannot be denied, for a
book has been printed setting forth all
sorts of dreams and what they mean, and
all any one need do if he wants war map
of his future is to eat mince pies and
doughnuts and 20 to bed.
DREAMS OF LOVERS.
Should he in the early watches of the
min Nd in, no lgt IF hot ha
police reporter calls conflagration let
him be admOnished that
To dream Of burning doth imply
A sudden danger ripe and nigh.
OF all escapes you then beware,
For though Fate threatens she may spare.
1t will be noticed that Fate is a person in
this case and not a glittering generality.
And like many another person She has
provided herself with an ample way of es
cape if the dream do not come true. In
that case she may tell you she threatened
all right enough, but on mature COnsidera-
ton concluded to spare you for future mid
night lunches.
Lovers should never dream of beggars.
1t pOrtends disaster of some sort or an
other and the man who finds himself in
the act of beginning to dream about beg
gar-himself or any other-and cannot
wake up, must go to see his love with an
accident policy in his inside pocket after
that. For fate is on his track, and will
not be switched off But if you must
dream of beggars, please be persuaded in
time and give them something Else you
will never know peace.
If you dream of soldiers it means that
your lady love-or your fellow, if the
dreamer be one Of the fairer, weaker sex
will have to quit his or her present resi-
dence, by paternal order, on your account.
Now, if you know he or she is comfortable
there, do not-Iet me implore yOu-do not
dream of soldiers.
To dream that you are cutting hay indi-
Gates that you will have great influence in
society-cut quite swath, as it were. And
if you dream of raking the hay together
you are fated to stand at the head of as
semblies Now, what would be more
proper than to dream of raking the hay
after YOU have once dreamed of cutting it?
The additional labor is trivial, and the
difference in recompense is quite worth the
trial
To AVOID DISASTERS.
When, in the SAUNDERS of midnight
man or woman dreams that he or she is
swimming it makes all the difference in
the worId-or the water-whether his or
her head is under or above the surface. If
under, then look out for troubles, and
plenty of them, but if you are navigating
all right, with the placid element beneath
you, hatter Yourself that you will live to
make all or most of your enemies your
footstool
To dream yOu wade in mire and stubble
FOretellcth surely toll and trouble,
Yet perseverance will not fail
Ger toll and trouble to prevail.
Another chance to get out, you see, but |
there is one dream that admits of eXcep- |
ton. If you should so far forget yourself |
as to dream of legacy, get up in the early |
morning and go about collecting all your |
available assets, for what you have in the |
hands of ''anothcr" will be wasted and dis
sipated without doing you any sort of good
To dream about fighting at single combat
