The background Cor ordinary

nants of waging life. Hence, ordi.
nary dreams are merely undigested
life, being made up by longings, de.
sires, ~anticipations. idle hopes and

their fruition. Hence the mixture, in

On the other hand, the life lived out
and assimilated in a p~urpOseful eX.
istence becomes absorbed in the for
nation of character and leaves no
residue to form the bizarre staging
for the confused dream. And to such
an individual the intuitions of dream
life. with their dazzling imagery, will
introduce symbols which. properly in
tcrpreted. may carry the significance
of provision or prophecy. Therefore,
to turn dreams into useful intelligent
and ineligible factors, We must fiji
our waking life with deeds and
thoughts OF universal usefulness, and
freight the train or events with an
u~nflinching devotion to duty and vir.

Every man who spends any time in

because it is necessary to enable him

something to think and talk about

horses and horse trading is the
principle subject of conversation
throughout the entire valley.
My first experience in the saddle
for many years, was with spotted
pony that [ rode from San Rafael to
the railroad. The distance was three
miles and it took, three hours and a
half. The pony went mostly side
wise and backwards. 1t furnished a
vast amount of amusement to some
Indians and MeXicans who were loaf
ing on the porch Of grocery store and
all the time was trying to urge him

PLEASANT SURPRISE
ON MRS. @. T. HOUGEN

DR.. O. T. Hougen planned and ex-
ecuted a very pleasant birthday
surprise on his wife on Monday even
ing, January 3d. DR.. and Mrs.
Hougen took tea with Mr.. and Mrs.
w. f. Kellogg on High street that
evening and on their return home at
about nine O'Clock found their plea
SAINT home in the possession of friends.
This was complete surprise to Mrs.
Hougen, but she was equal to the
occasion and greeted her friends right
cordially, making each one feel
thoroughly welcome. Soon after Mr..
and Mrs. Hougen's appearance they
invited their guests to repair to the
dance hall on the top floor where they
found Colcord's orchestra ready to
discourse excellent music. No time
was lost in entering into jolly time
in dancing until Il o'clock when
light refreshments were served in
the dining room.
Mrs. Hougen did not divulge her
age to her guests that evening, but
we think we are safe in saying that
she is not far from her twenty-ffth
milestone judging from the spirits in
which we found her.
The guests left a token of the love
and esteem with which she is regarded
by them,-in the form of a beautiful
embroidered centerpiece and a hand
painted fruit plate.
Such gatherings as these promote
good fellowship and strengthen
friendly ties among friends and
neighbors. Too much value cannot
be placed upon such gatherings in
cultivating sociability.
The guests departed reluctantly
for their homes after having spent
one of the pleasantest of evenings,
one and all wishing Mrs. Hougen
many happy returns of the day. The
following were present: Mesdames
and Messrs. W. F. Kellogg, Charles
Kellogg, Ernest Oberbeck, A. M.
Muir, A. q. Miller. DR.. f. Pomain-
vile, w. H. Reeves, L. A. Brazeau,
