A certain citizen Of GOOdland re-
Gently had a peculiar nightmare. He
had been reading the war news until
he was thoroughly wrought up with
the stirring events recently occurring.
He retired before his wife did and was
soon in dreamland- Out on the high
seas at night he was chased by a man
Of war, which flashed her search light
on him. He was aiming his "stern
chaser and was about to fire. Being
partly awakened by a flea bite and his
wife coming into the room with light
ed lamp, (which was the search light
he shouted out: That dOgOned flea
spoiled my aim or I'd sunk the blarst-
ed Spaniard." A hearty laugh from
his wife dispeIIed the illusion and
drought him around" all right. He
thinks the newspaper Hscsre heads"
and the smoking of q Havana cigar"
Just before retiring, were the wizards Of
his dreams.
