DREAMS OF THE HEALTHY.

There has been much discussion as to
whether one dreams only on falling TO
sleep and during the act Of waking up. or
whether dreams take place AT any time
during sleep. While not definitely deter
m ned as yet. the evidence seems to be
rather in favor of the view that one may
dream at any time during the night. or
the whole night through. Dreaming Is
common TO perfectly healthy persons. and
in itself is no evidence Of disorder.-Har-

FROM WOMARS
POINT OF VIEW

While waiting for a train the other
day I'm a big terminal station where
guards are bombarded all day long with
questions, many OF which are useless, a
lame man. with a sour face and a Glad
stone bag, studied board for few min
utes and then approached the guard. The
board bore a long list Of names-of
towns, 1 presume-and there was break
in il that might reasonably lead one 10
the belief that more than one train was
scheduled on the board.
So the man thought, and the incident
of his addressing the guard would have
passed unnoticed had ne been decently
civil. The man had a limp in his gait
and twist in his disposition, appar-
emily, for he addressed one question to
the guard In pleasant tones and then lost
his temper. Does this train go to all
these places?'' was the first. Yes. What
place do you want?' was the guard +
but all 1 ask OF you is what I have
already asked was the speech that fol-
lowed IN snarling tones.
The guard refused to be ruffied. There
remarked, with a scowl az the board. "It
does seem as II a board Ike this might
be made Ineligible for there is no as
sistance to be obtained from you fellows.
l am going to canvass all those towns,
and 7 want to know the easiest way of
reaching them" Take the train" was
the easy reply Of the guard, as he turned
10 answer a volley of questions on his
other side. The man said a few bad
words and hObbled TO his train, and I
felt a little pity for the poor mortals
who were TO meet him on his canvassing
route.
Can you imagine a disposition Of that
kind ever succeeding at any kind of bust
ness? Canvassing above everything re-
quires innate patience and good nature.
for rebuffs are many and inciviIity is
common. There are canvassers who could
wheedle the average person into buying
about anything but they are always most
pleasing In address. Surly men and
women are dismal failures at any kind Of
business.
never could understand why crippIes
are usually very disagreeable. Invalids
Of other kinds are often remarkably sweet
in nature and are dearly loved while they
live. despite the care and anxiety they
impose upon those about them. It must
be well-nigh impossible 70 contemplate
freedom from the tyranny of an nl-na-
tured person. well or sick. and IL that
could only be properly impressed upon
humanity life might be somewhat easier.
The rudest persons I find in subways and
at elevated car stations are cripples. yet
everybody makes way for them through
pity I know just one Of this semi-help-
less class who looks the world I'm the face
with smile. and she has hosts Of friends
TO brighten her path and no enemy that
l have yet discovered. Cheerfulness pays.
