 Nothing daunting Jerry Millay took matters into his own hands and made elaborate prepara for the follow ing evening by renting a hall, secur- | ing a band and scattering posters broad cast over the town. The speak ing was to begin promptly at 7:30 and to the minute was Jerry, accompanied by the Professor, on hand.
 From 7:3O to S:3O did the twain sit, awaiting an audience in vain. At the latter hour Jerry's feet grew awfully cold and he suggested to the Profes- sor that they had better hunt fire, so they "douced the glim" and fled.
 Jerry said, next morning, he could have spoken to empty seats all night but didn't see how he could make any republican votes by doing so. When told that there were not enough re- publicans in Clifton to form a copo- ral's guard he said he believed it, and that when he came to Clifton again on such a mission he hoped to be able to borrow enough democrats to get up an audience.

In some Of the smaller New Eng
land towns the local street railway
companies during the winter volun-
tarily assumed the expense of keeping
available ice ponds, or lakes, in good
condition for skating, by cleaning off
the snow, maintaining electric lights
at night and of flooding the ice when it
had become badly cut up. They found
that this was a good investment, as
the traffic created by the skating more
than paid for the small expense they
were under. No fees were charged
for getting on the ice.

According to the recent studies OF
Siguor De Sanetis, of Turin, children
begin to dream before their fourth
year, but are unable to recall dreams
before the age of four or five. This
age, he concludes, is that al which a
child first becomes distinctly con-
scious OF self. Aged people dream
less frequently and less viyidly than
the young Womer's dreams are
more frequent, more vivid and better
remembered than those of men.
Criminals and delinquenls dream
much less frequently and much less
vividly than other people. Two
thirds of the most depraved criminals

never conscious OF dreaming. This
