Dreams are like women-they go by
contraries, says a writer in the New
York Press. That's what we are told.
An unusually brilliant chap of my ac-
quaintance is cultivating dreams. He
believes it is possible to get some prac-
teal good out of them. "A person
dreams, wakes, turns over and sleeps
again and fOrgets." he says. Il make
it practice to jump out of bed the
instant l wake up after a dream and
write down all that l can possibly recol-
lect of it. l don't care what sort of
dream it is, nightmare or vision, phan-
tasm or air dream dagger. My dream
book is wonderful reading. l study it
night and morning. 1t is filled with
the most amazing problems, and
shall keep at them till they are all
worked out. l believe that every dream
is the reflection of a mental impress
sion. The impression might have been
made in infancy, but it can never be
wiped out. What the babe sees may
not be reflected till old age but as
sure as fate it will be reflected some
day."
A person in perfect health does not
dream. He sleeps. One who makes a
study of dreams must begin at the
stOmach-the source of all mental and
physical evils Tonight he must eat
corned-beef and cabbage and note the
effect. 1t is more than likely he will

are such stuff as dreams are made
on, and our little life is rounded with
a sleep" There is an ancient say
ing-"Friday nights dreams on Satur-
day told are sure to come true-be they
never so old" If it be true that
dreams always go by contraries it must
be easy to master them.

A Frosty Morning.

From the Catholic Standard and Times
1 love these frosty mornings,
When all the outer air
Is tingling with a freshness
And vim beyond compare.
The north wind in the tree-tops
Proclaims the coming dawn,
And sends the crisp leaves rafting
Across the frozen lawn.
From some adjacent farm yard
A watchful chanticleer
With raucous, joyous Growing
Assails the atmosphere.
Then, near home, a watch dog,
Awakened from his sleep,
Gives voice to his resentment
In tones prolonged and deep.
A. wagon, bound for market,
Goes creaking down the road.
1 hear the axles groaning
Beneath the heavy load.
The light grows at my window,
And on the pane, / see,
Jack Frost has limned a picture
OF silver tracery.
Now, from the servants stairway
Slow feet descend the hail.
And then a kitchen shutter
Bangs out against the wall.
I love, these frosty mornings,
To note these things, and then
TO draw the bedclothes closer
And go to sleep again.

Judge Alton B. Parker of New
York is rather unfortunate in some of
the friends he is making. Following
Jerry Simpsons declaration in his
favor, Gen. James r. Weaver has an
nounced for him. Gen. Weaver, who
was twice a candidate for President,
once as a Greenbacker and once as a
Populist, says he is now Democrat.
But men who have never been any
thing else than Democrats will hest
tate to accept his political opinions.
With the Simpsons and Weavers lin
ing up for Parker, the dyed-in-the-wool
Democrats will be apt to look with
more favor on German.

Senator Frye has introduced a bill
providing that on and after July next
under penalty of forfeiture, no mer-
chandise shall be transported by sea
or any passengers he carried between
ports Of the United States and ports
in the Philippine Islands in any other
than vessels sailing under the flag of
the United States. This in effect is a
bill to reduce the commerce between
the United States and the Philippines
and to permit the extremely few Amer
lean vessels plying between the two
countries to demand their own prices
for freghts. There are probably not
a bakers dozen of American ships
trading from the United States to the
Philippines, the great bulk of Philip
pine commerce being carried in foreign
bottoms. The Frye bill is designed to
squeeze the Philippine commerce for
the benefit of few ship owners.

CLEANLY WOMAN
Enormously Thinks by Securing Her
Scalp That She Cures Dandruff.

Clearly woman has an erroneous
idea that by securing the scalp, which
removes the dandruff scales, she is
curing the dandruff. She may wash
her scalp every day, and yet have
dandruff her life long, accompanied
by falling hair, too. The only way in
the world to cure dandruff is to kill
the dandruff germ, and there is no
hair preparation that will do that
but Newbro's Herpicide. Herpicide
by killing the dandruff germ, leaves
the hair free to grow as healthy Ma
ture intended. Destroy the cause
you remove the effect. Kill the dam
druff germ with Herpicide. Sold by

1t is asserted in Washington that
Notwithstanding the remarkable sim
ilarity between that part of the Presi-
dents message dealing with bribery
in office and the published utterances
of District Attorney Folk of st. Louis,
nobody except the President had any
thing to do with the preparation of
the message. The similarity referred to
was so striking that, published in
parallel columns, 1t was difficult to de-
tect any difference between what the
President said and what Mr. Folk had
said some time previously. However,
the sentiment was so sound and the
language so forceful that the deliver
ance was a good thing, no matter by
whom it was originated.

In Jail at Springfield, ILL.,, there is a
young murderer of the name of Strube.
He is a good-looking fellow, though his
crime, the brutal killing of a woman,
marks him as a heartless villain. Since
his incarceration he has been visited
almost daily by young women, married
and single, who have brought him
flowers and delicacies and gushed over
his misfortune" Indeed, Strube, the
murderer of a woman, has been made
quite hero by women. Half a dozen
preachers of Springfield on last Sunday
took the matter up in their pulpits and
Numbered against the weakness and
foolishness of the women who are pay
ing so much attention to the criminal.
One pastor called upon the newspapers,
IF the visits to the murderer were to
be regarded as society functions" to
publish the names of the women to-
gether with descriptions of their cos
tunes. 1t is a psychological mystery
why there are women, in almost every
community, who are ever ready to
lionize a murderer if his victim was
woman.

A pretty romance is reported from
Washington, Pa. Mr.. Marshall, young
business man of that city, in moderate
circumstances, met and fell in love
with Miss Emma Nixon, of Cincinna-
ii. She reciprocated his affection ana
their courtship ran smoothly. Miss
Nixon was a pretty and bright girl
who always dressed plainly and neat
ly but never richly. Mr.. Marshall was
under the impression that she was a
poor girl. Indeed, he probably made
no inquiries respecting the matter, as
it made no difference one way or the
other in so far as his love was con-
cerned. The young man made ar
engagements to get away from bust
ness for two weeks and planned bridal
trip of that length of time to Nev
York and Philadelphia, which was
about the limit os his resources that
he could afford for the purpose. After

BANKRUPTING SCHEMES.

If Congress should half way comply
with the requests for appropriations
for schemes which various promoters
have in mind. it wouldn't be long be-
fore the government would be in a
condition requiring a receiver.
For the next fiscal year the Secre-
tary of the Treasury asks for 1925, 5O2,-
146 for all purposes. In that sum,
however, are not included any of the
schemes to which we refer.
Some of these schemes are as fol-
lows About $1OOOOO,OOO a year, for a
number of years. for warships. Mr..
Hobson, If we are not mistaken, wants
something like 81, 900, 900, 900 spent on the
navy within the next few years, and
the President seems to think that Hob
sons views in regard to the matter
are not extravagant.
The promoters of the scheme to
build roads at government expense
would be satisfied probably, with $780,
100000 to begin with. The scheme to
grant federal aid to education is be-
ing revived, and 100000 annually
would not more imam SaLlSIy LnOSe VINO
are giving it their support.
The Mississippi river boomers held
a convention in New Orleans recently,
and agreed that that river should be
turned over to the United States gov
eminent for improvement. That scheme
will be presented to Congress during
this session. What amount of money
will be called for is of course unknown,
but probably not less than $15,000,O00
year for an indefinite length of time.
The irrigation scheme has been
launched, but it hasn't been given the
amount of money wanted for it. 1t
is a safe estimate that $1OO00,0OO a
year will soon be asked for it.
We do not undertake to mention
all the big schemes for getting money
out of the Treasury, but there is
enough of them, If they should all be
approved, to cause the estimates of
the Secretary. of the Treasury to 3r
raised many millions of dollars.

Says the Springfield (Mass) Republi-
can: "The number of cotton opera
tives here in New England alone, who
have had their wages reduced, already
closely approaches 100000, and the end
is not yet. This is how the joyful
boom in raw cotton is working in its
larger aspect" That is, indeed, dis
agreeable view; and yet there is an
other side to the picture in which the
colors are brighter. In the cotton
producing states there are hundreds
of thousands of small farmers and
those dependent upon them who are
receiving more money from their cot
ton crops than for years; who are
paying off mortgages and preparing to
give their children better educational
advantages and some of the comforts
of life that have hitherto been denied
them by hard fate. Owing to the in
creased price of cotton the farm labor
element in the cotton states is ham
ding more money and living easier
than for a long time. The number
of people benefited by the higher
prices of raw cotton, we think, is
larger than the number of cotton mill
operatives whose wages have been re-
duced as a consequence of the higher
prices, Did our New England friends
feel and express profound sympathy
for the small farmers and cotton field
workers of the South a few years ago

MUCH TOO MUCH EMOTION.

Where is this yielding to neurotic emotions going to end? Must over- strung and overtired nerves acquired by heredity (for it is coming to that now), and aggravated by the very att mosphere of our social system, end in the sinking of our sane and steadfast national character in morass of hys- .terical cravings and of hysterical deeds? Unless some check can be ap- piled, it looks like it. It is true the disease is not fully developed; is, it may be, only in its initial stage. But no symptoms of it are wanting, and symptoms are bound to develop unless they receive attention. Even the class es which are to some extent protected by mental powers trained through gen. erations to wholesome boise are beconl- ing infected by it. We find military officers of high rank, who, when con- fronted by serious position, lose their heads, and afterward vail out denials of the fact with hysterical repetitions that no device will avail to silence. We find the masses and the classes at one in an equally hysterical outhurst of adulation and enthusiasm offered to men who have made desolate thou sands of English homes, and whose tactics, in accomplishing this achieve ment, only a short time ago brought on them deep and we'll deserved reproach- es from the very lips that are now

evening as to the legality question and subsequent action Mir. Irvine said as follows: "The council took the matter under consideration and decided ti:at the meeting and the subsequent calling of the council was according to Cor gregationaI usage and the bylaws or the church. A committee consisting Of Morris F. Tyler, Professor Walker and Dr. Leete was appointed to draft minute. The purport of the minute was to have the church call a mutual coun- cil for the adjustment of matters un- der dispute. The idea was to have the Ecclesiastical society represented and it's records open for inspection. The delegate from the West Haven church informed the. council that he had learn ed ecclesiastical law under Dr. Leon ard Bacon and that according to ms judgment the council was irregular. In this view he was alone. When the vote was taken he walked out of the room. Sunday morning MT. Irvine will read the councils recommendation iii church and next Friday evening action will be taken By that time Mir. Irvine will no longer be pastor of the church and what action the church will take is doubtful.
 While the matter is under discussion in Pilgrim church next Friday evening MT Irvine will be organizing the Peo- ple's church in Bushnell hall. Many Of his friends will take letters from Pill grim church so that as far as he and 1-.- ,SNI n&h will be done in Pilgrim church about it, but the council will undoubtedly meet again.

 The clerk of Pilgrim church having refused to produce the books of the church the question arose as to whether the council was legally convened It was thought by some that the Ecclesiastical of Pilgrim church was not. given suffi- cient notice and the society was not rep resented. The clerk said the standing committee should call such meetings.
 Rev. A. F. Irvine was called upon to explain in regard to the call, and he be- lieved the council was legally called.
 It was regarded by some that there was technical question in regard to the call, and it was finally. voted best to give notice to the Pilgrim church next Sunday of another meeting of the coun- cil to attend to the business of the call. The council then adjourned subject to the call of Pilgrim church, and if not called in three months the council ex- pires.
 The ecclesiastical society of the church was not represented. One of the mem- bers said last night that the council was not legally called and there was nothing for it to act upon in any event.
 It is doubted by some whether the council again convenes. The matter at | issue is over the salary of the pastor the Rev. A. F. Irvine. He has been l paid $2,000 and the use of the parsonage until the present year, when the salary was cut to $1,600. Some of the church I claimed that they could not afford tc l pay any more and they so informed MT l Irvine. But his friends claim that he is | entitled to the full amount of $2,0o0.
