found no relief.

try it. Within three days felt better, my

STREET LIGHTS ONCE MORE.


: About 10 O'Clock Thursday evening the
electric lights in a Broadway store sud-
denly became very dim and the store was
somewhat dark and gloomy when a
voice was heard to exclaim, 1.-TWO fat
people got on a trolley car at Keyport
and 1t took so much of the power to
move the car after that, it caused our
lights to go down"
That set those present laughing hearth
ly and should 1t be but, 'Our Dreamer''
who ~had..wandered off to the land of Key
port and had given us the benefit of what
he had learned on his tilp. To prove that
1t was only a dream, I will add that just
then a party s.came in from the street
and said 1.-THE electric lights are going
in the streets; that is what made your
lights go down. Alas! we had always
had such faith in ''Our Dreamer'' and
now to have the first dream for weeks
past, so ruthlessly shattered was sad
lening. Some said 'Good night" and
went out to feast ..our eyes with a sight
OF. light streets once more.
