peal to de farmer drivin' not to part
him from his old associashuns, but be-
fo' he could do so he woke up. He lay
dar on his back wonderin' what sich a
dream signer6ed when his wife got up
and would have gone through his pock-
cts and taken ebery dollar he had but
fur SEEM dat his eyes was open.

Shin dreamed dat he was an airth-
quake. He was travelin' arounf shak-
in down buildin's and scarin' folks to

back rent or vacate. It was only
about two minits between de dreamin'
and de poundin'. It was only ten
hours after de poundin' dat Samuel
was sot out on de sidewalk.
