OLD DREAM FREAKS.
Melancholy People Often Dream
Beautiful and Happy Dreams.


DR.. T. S. Clouston, superintendent
physician to the Royal asylum, Edin-
burgh, Scotland, and we'll known
authority on mental diseases, has
given some interesting views on the
subjects of dreams
The modern opinion about dream
ing said DR.. Clouston, lis that a
long series of events do not take
place instantaneously, as used to be
thought. Dreams may go on all night
1t may be assumed that a dream
sleep is not a sound sleep.
"A very curious thing that many
melancholy people, whose whole con-
scious life is one of misery, dream
beautiful and happy dreams. They
Will tell you in the morning that
that was their olny pleasant time of
the twenty-four hours. and they wish
they could sleep always, for then,
they would be happy.
The doctors now, as a rule, think
1t Is good sign when melancholy
people have cheerful dreams. The
physiological view of dreaming now
may be said to be the opening of
partial console usness OF things that
have been heard and thought about
and seen by the brain previously. No
new thought WIS ever created In a
Ar0nna &c Gel
Their the solution OF any new prob
lem was ever effected in a dream"
1t is well known that dream events
can occur with startling rapidity. The
difficulty is to fix the duration OF
time. Lord Holland is stated to have
fallen asleep while listening to the
reading OF book. and to have had
long dream between the beginning
and end of sentence.
In Mr.. Baring-Gould's Curious
Myths of the Middle Ages" refer
ence is made to q dream in which
during the striking of the hour on
a clock the dreamer saw the whole
of the grand army pass In review be-
fore Napoleon. Horse, foot and artil-
lery passed slowly In an apparently
interminable line, each unit salut-
ing as 1t passed. Yet all passed in a
moment OF time
The rapidity of dream action has
suggested to some psychologists the
theory that dreams are always ex-
perienced during the moment of
passing from sleep to wakefulness.

BUYING A WOMAN'S SMILE.
Home1y Mrs. Gwillkintoss Accom-
plishes This at Very Little Cost.

Honleiy MIS-. 1Wulk1ntOSS Accom-
plishes This at Very Little Cost.
Can a woman's smile be bought?
Well, yes" said Mrs. Gwillkintoss,
sometimes, and it may be for little
money
Here is a woman who for weeks
has been sitting on a downtown
doorstep selling shoestrings. This
is disused door and so she inter
feres with nobody and nobody inter-
fereS with her, and so she sits there,
with her stock spread over the great
er part of the step, while she sits at
the other end, holding on her arm
an infant.
And it always seemed to me that
trade must be dull with her, because
| never saw anybody buy of her; and
finally | thought it was up to me to
buy something and sort of help trade
along little. Because, you see,
while the profit on shoestrings is
very large, still you don't make any
thing at all unless you sell some.
so | thought I'd buy pair, which
was easy to do for the reason that
she had good stock. Not a skinny
little mess thrown down on the door
step to attract attention to her and
the child, but real assortment to
choose from; and it wouldn't be any
charity to buy OF her.
80 | stopped and looked the stock
over and selected strings of the ex-
act length I wanted, and found these
there with tips of the particular kind
l like best, she looking on while l
was making my selection; and when
| handed over the nickel she looked
up little at her customer and signi-
fed her thanks with a little smile,
for every nickel counted, and l am
afraid that business has been dull
with her New York Sun.

A party recently from Central
Texas, talking to The News man
this week, suggested that the
price of our lands was too high
that probably there would be "a
fall in a short time, especially if
we had a drouth. We referred
to a man who came here about
three years ago and had been
waiting all that time for a drouth
and a tumble in price. He is still
waiting. There has been no
drouth, and the price of land has
nearly doubled what it was when
he came. The drouth may come
it comes everywhere-but the
values still continue to climb.
When we see that ne farmer in
Armstrong county, with the hire
of one man, harvested ), 700 bush
els of grain, and that on Sl5 land,
we fail to see wherein that land
is too high. In estimating the
value of land it is well to consider
the returns on the investment.
Now is the time to buy.-Claude
