To the Editor Graphic:

10 the Editor Graphic:
1 would like to ask you if you be-
.lieve in dreams, or if you have book
of interpretations" that you can refer
to, as have had one of the strangest
dreams l ever had in all my life.
dreamed that 1 was king and
that l had become very wealthy and
had thousands of acres of land and
millions of dollars in money, as we'll 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
rjvaled in splendor anything described
in the Arabian Nights.
The greatest object of my pride was
the crown L wore, which surpassed i'll
richness and beauty anything we will
ever see-until we pass through the
beautiful Gates"
And o! how I 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, 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 l 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
| ,Niok inn tho n,,f Of aud
dividing up'' among themselves my
other property. They did not look
like the servants l had with me when
went to sleep. One looked, in tile
face, like the picture of john Sherman
had seen in the Topeka Capital
others like Tom Reed, Mckinley, Dan
Voorhees, and other leading Republicans.
When L begged them to let me loose
and give me back my property they
simply grined Satanic grin and went
on with their stealing.
| I,gOt so mad it awOke me, and o!
was SO glad to lind it only u dream
| The next morning l told Barbry
Ann all about it and she got ''Harter' S
Dream Book" and studied it all fore
noon, but couldn't find anything that
would explain the matter satisfactorily
to us, so she said ii she WAS me she
would go and see Bill Snifies, who has
quite reputation as All Interpreter of
dreams.
Well, 1 went to see Bill that after
noon, although l didn't like to, for lie
is radical Ialamity howler-an an
archist you might say. told him the
dream and asked Inn what he thought
1t meant.
Bill ne laughed, and said, ''Why
Uncle Lettus that's 10 dream 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 you
dreamed about. Your servants are
the men you have been helping to elect.
You have been asleep in your palace
all these years that you have been
voting the republican, ticket straight
and your servants have bound you
hand and foot and are stealing your
Jewels" ''ThIs,' said he, sis the
dream and the Interpretation thereof. :"
was SO mortified that didn't wait
to hear anything more but went home
and told Barbry Ann what Bill had
said, and instead of plying me, as L
suppose she would, she said Bill SIfif-
fles was the smartest man in the
neighborhood, and that if the ''Hen
law" passed this fall, and she was
ever allowed to vote, she would like to
see anybody put her to sleep while
they stole the jewels out of Ter crown.
Pm afraid Barbfy Ami lis getting
to be an anarchist.
