POINTS ABOUT DREAMS.
sAT,RlcAL COMMENTS FOR SUPER
sTlTlouS ORGANIZERS.
n You Dream Of Your Creditors 1t Means
That You Are in Debt-Lovers should
Never Dream Of Beggars or soldiers.
Don't Dream Of Eating Garlic.

OF course If you happen TO dream noou1
crooked paths you can get out OF 1t on the
ground that you are not possessed oil 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 IL; II
the thing comes out as you had no reason
to expect you can change 1t 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 statement, and
one could bring her newspaper declara-
ton on the subject, she was convinced, and
never again had a 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 II that
ancient lady or any of her kin should be
living let them be informed that dreams do
come true. This cannot be denied, for n
book has been printed setting forth all
sorts of dreams and what they mean, and
all any one need do If he wants II 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 reporter calls a conflagration let
him be admonished that
To dream of burning doth imply
A sudden danger ripe and nigh.

1t will be noticed that Fate is a person in
this case and not n 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 u beg
gar-himsef 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 of. But if you must
Cream 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, ii 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--let 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 n 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 slumbers of midnight, a
man or woman dreams that he or she is
swimming it makes all the difference in
the world-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

footstool
To dream you wade in miro and stubble
Foretelleth surely toll and trouble,
Yet perseverance will not fail
Der 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 another" will be wasted and dis
sipated without doing you any sort of good.
To dream about fighting at single com bat
signifies lawsuits and marriages, the book
says.
If you should get into the habit of dream
ing, and in that pitable condition should
find yourself dreaming of a man with a
lighted lantern, try to kill him off or
otherwise attract his attention, for if he
goes on without interruption and puts it
out it signifies trouble for you, and plenty
of it. If you dream that you hear a hen
cacllle it is IL pretty good sign. but you can
make it a heap better by catching the
fowl That clnches the sign, as it were,
and after that fate can no more 20 back on
you than if you slept with the scissors I'M
der your pillow to make your lover come
back.
No married man should dream of eating
garlic. In the first place, garlic is not II
pleasant thing for any man outside Of Gaul
to put upon his table; and in the second
though that is Il minor consideration-he
will surely find out that his wife does not
love him. And if you want to do the whole
business at one fell swoop, then dream of
eating dinner just after having concluded
