IL uGS EuIOT UTupNW.
1 would like to ask you if You be-
lieve in dreams, or if you have book
of s'lnterpretations" that you can refer
to, as 1 have had one of the strangest
dreams ever had in al my life.
1 dreamed that l WAS king and
that had become very wealthy and
had thousands of acres of land and
millions of dollars in money, as well as
Jewels and diamonds without number,
and in fact all kinds of wealth 1.-THE
richest treasures earth could yield,''
and faithful, loyal servants in album
dance, and a beautiful palace which
rivaled i'll splendor anything described
in the Arabian Nights.
The greatest object of my pride was
the crown 1 wore, which surpassed i'll
richness and beauty anything we will
ever see-until we pass through the
''BeautIful Gates.''
And o! how 1 was enjoying this
life! Nothing to do but to express my
wish to servants who were always
ready to obey. 1t was indeed delight
full! Well, 1 thought had lived thus
for years, and one day after giving. the
necessary orders, went into my palace
and laid down to rest, and was soon
sound asleep. How long slept did
not know, but something awakened
me, and when 1 tried to get up l
found, o horror! my hands and feet
were tied with strong cords, and there
by the window sat some of my servants
picking the gems out Of my crown and
''dividing up'' among themselves my
other property. They did not look
like the servants l bad with me when
1 went to sleep. One looked, in the
face, like the picture of John Sherman
l had seen in the Topeka Capital
others like Tom Reed, Mckinley, Dan
voorhees, and other leading Republicans
When 1 begged them to let r2e loose
and give me back my property they
simply grined Satanic grin and wen
on with their stealing.
got SO mad iI awOke Inc, and o.
Twas so glad to find it only a dream
\ The next morning told Barbry
Ann all about it and she got ''IIarter's
Dream Book" and studied it all fOcs
tnoOn, but couldn't lind anything thai
would explain the matter satisfactorily
Ito us, so she said if She was me sht
would go and see Bill Sniffles, who ha:
quite a reputation as All Interpreter Of
dreams.
Well, went to see Bill that after
noon, although didn't like to, for ht
is a radical kalamity howler-an an
.archist you might say. l told him TIT
Edream and asked HIM what he thought
Fit meant.
| Bill ne laughed, and said, "Wh!
4 Uncle Lettus that's no dGeam at all
that's real life.'' You see," said he
You have been king, or sovereign
which is the same thing. Your rights
as citizen was the wealth yOl
dreamed about. Your servants art
the men you have been helping to elect
You have been asleep in your palact
all these years that you have beer
voting the republican ticket straight
and your servants have bound yOl
hand and foot and are stealing YOU
Jewels" ''Tms," said he, lis thu
dream and the Interpretation thereof. ,
was so mortified that [ didn't Wal
to hear anything more but went hOm'
) and told Barbry Ann what Bill hat
said, and instead of plying me, as
suppose she would, she said Bill Sniff
fles was the smartest man i'll tn,
neighborhood, and that if the "Hel
law" passed this fall, and she wa
ever allowed to vote, she would like II
see anybody put her to sleep whit
they stole the jewels out of her crown
I'm afraid Barbry Ann is getting
to be an anarchist.
