Novalis, the savant, declares that IL we
did not dream we should age very much
sooner than we do. Dreams, he says, are
a shield against the monotony OF life. In
proof of his assertion he mentions the
case of a lady 60 years old who dwelt on
the remembrance of a dream as the hap
piest event in her life. In her memorable
dream this unsophisticated old soul had
visited the czar in his palace. and she
infinitely described in glowing terms the
various incidents in connection Herewith,
and it must be admitted that this dream
was the only poetical element In her iso-
lated and monotonous existence. We Of
ten hear of people being advised before
deciding on an important matter 'to
sleep ON it," That appears to imply that
In case we should dream we would arrive
at just appreciation of what we should
do. 1t is but another authentic instance
pertinent TO this strange phenomenon, the
relation of dreams to our spiritual being.

MILLER INTERVIEWED.
His Former Secretary Interviews Hin
for Press.

New York, March 7.-Miss Annie Cor
rIe, formerly employed in confidential
capacity with the franklin Syndicate,
went to Raymond street jail today and
interviewed William II. Miller, che i'm
prisoned head of tine syndicate, for the
Evening World.
1t WAS Miss Gorris who, when the po-
lice raided the syndicate, climbed out of
back window with satcheI full OF
money. She has known Miller all her
life. Miller told MISS Gorrle that the
franklin Syndicate was started on $50.
He said at least 81, $50, COO had passed
through his hands while In the syndicate.
Miller said he was merely tool, bired
by the real swinGlsrs. SohlesengeF, whom
he accuses Of being the real swindler,
drew a salary Of $500 weekly.
Miller said that besides Sohlesinger,
Powers and Sullivan were factors In the
Syndicate. The money came in In such
a avaIan che that he could not estimate
tae amount, but 1t was all turned over to
Schlesingsr for investment. Miller said I:
at has been reported that the day that
my sstchel There was not a cent in IL.
How escaped and how 1 got the tip
that 1 had been indicted end where
was arrested, will be interesting read
ing some day. I had been Specializing In
n small way IN Capt. Lyons bucket shop
in New street, where l met Edward
Sohlesingsr, who had teen Interested In
the e. s. Dsan company. He suggeste
the syndicate, saying that he was In a
position to get inside information from
Washington. He advanced about $50 at
first. and soon 1t was not necessary to
continue advancing funds"
Miss Gorris did not believe the story
that Schlesinger went to Baden Baden
after the collapse. One of the former
employees, she said, had seen him In
brooklyn three weeks ago. 1t was her
opinion tn at about one third Of a million
and o half taken in was paid out in
dividends. She said many policemen re-
cs,vsd money without Investing.

The aftermath Of Spion Kop brings
countless criticisms from correspondents
at the 'front.' Bennett Burisigh, in the
Daily Telegraph writes:
"You can rely on II no one more
than Gen. Butler hspicrss the mistake
which led to the foolish evacuation OF
that key Of the Bosr position. When
the general retreat was ordered Butler
waited by the single, part pontoon, part
trestle, bridge until everybody was got
safely across. The day previous he had
critically re-sx Amined the positions held

Of the generals and several Of his star
had to get him to retire behind cover,
as they thought he was unnecessarily
risking himself. "
The Globes correspondent Is psrsicu-
larly bitter about Spion kop.
"No one knows" he writes, "who
gave the order to retreat; the whole bu ST.
ness is ,nexplicsble. We met n stan
officer on the way; ne asked us what we
were doiag; he knew nothing of the or
err, but presumed we had better continue
on our road.
"And so ended II hours fight. We

BILE business, there IL no explanation, no
one was more surprised at our action

rious iniinustion against the Beers:

went into action Sslpon Spion Mop, at o

bent it's back up like a Drummy Dairy's
and pointed at the moon with its tale and
rubbed against nav and Got friendly.

that the moon influences the oshen, caus-
ing the tides, and II that's so 1t mite have

When we got home nav let the Cat
