POINTS ABOUT DREAMS,

Dream OF Beggars SOLDIER.
Chicago Herald.
To dream in path both straight
and fair,
Your work doth happiness de-
clare;
But crooked ways denote much
i'll
To those who have a headstrong
4 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 a
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
lprove the rule that dreams are
reliable.
/ There used to be an old wo-
man down in Illinois who had
Implicit faith in anything she
saw printed. If there were any
question of the accuracy of a
statement, and one could bring
her a ne Sspaper declaration on
the subject, she was convinced,
and never again had a doubt.
Now it would be highly improp-
er for the skeptical reader to
ask what she would have done
had she happened to find count
er 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
ancient lady or any of her kin
should be living let them be in
formed that dreams do come
true. This cannot be denied,
for a book has been printed SET
ting forth all sorts of dreams
and what they, and all any one
need do if he wants a war map
of his future is to eat mince pies
and doughnuts and go to bed.
DREAMS OF LOVERS.
Should he in the early watches
OF the night find himself in the
midst OF what the police report
er calls a confagration 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 escape if the dream do
not came true. In that case she
may tell you she threatened all
right enough, but on mature
consideration concluded to spare
you for future midnight lunches.
Lovers should never dream of
beggars. 1t protends disaster
oi some sort or another, and the
man who finds himself in the
act of beginning to dream about
q beggar-himself or any other
land 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 IL you must dream of beg
gars, please be persuaded in
time and give them something.
Else you will never know peace.
II 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 pres
ent residence, bypaternal order,
ON your account. Now, If YOU
know he or she is comfortable
there, do not-let me implore
you--do not dream of soldiers.
To dream that you are cut
ting hay indicates that you will
have great influence in society
I-cut quite a swath, as il We're.
| And il you dream Of raking the
lhay together you are fated to
stand at the head of assemblies.
Now, what would be more
proper tnan to dream of raking
the hay after you have once
| dreamed of cutting it? The adj
Iditional labor is trivial, and the
difference in recompenseis is quite
worth the trial.
