DREAM STUFF ANp soul. srurr
By EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright, 1893. by Edwin A. Nye.

DREAM STUFF AND SOUL STUFF.
We are such stuff
AS dreams are made of, and our little life
Is rounded with Sleep
All Of us, young or old, rich or poor
all of us have our dreams, and these
dreams are not all OF sleep. The best
ogall our dreams are the day dreams.
To the young these dreams come like
"a glittering pageant of beauty castles
in Spain-seen through the ever shift
ing kaleidoscope of early hopes and as
pirations.
ALAS that dreams are only dreams;
that fancy cannot give lasting beauty
to those forms that scarce moment
live"
With the years comes dfsillusion.
The mirages rise. The rivers of fancy
lose their runnels in the sands of life's
desert places. The feathery palm trees
of the distance fade away. The cas-
ties In Spain disappear like an unsub-
stantiaI fabric.
But we must not cease to dream
Because our life is such stuff as
dreams are made of, because life in its
fullness Of meaning is in the reaching
always after our ideals, because a soul
without its visions Is dead.
Because no man really lives IL he is
not always striving to make his best
dreams come true.
Did you ever realize the difference be-
tween great souls and little souls? The
little soul has few dreams or, disap-
pointed, ceases to dream. The great
soul dreams on and is always going out
to realize his dreams The ideal Is the
mental conception of something SUI
premely good, supremacy to be desired.
He dreams of what ought to be and
finds realization and happiness in
striving after his ideal. His dreams
may not come wholly true, but If he
has seen bis vision and pondered It and
been dominated by it he will find par
tal realization, and in finding part
OF his dream he finds his happiness.
Those who never dream are not so.
They go to their work like slaves whip
ped to their tasks. Life has no spon-
taneity. There are no enthusiasms in
their life, and they constantly ask
themselves whether life is worth the
while. The man who has no vision
has no abundance, no fullness Of life.
He is already dead
Therefore, my brethren, let US go on
dreaming the beautiful dreams. Some
sweet day we shall wake up and find
them all come true. Let us dream
Because dream stuff put into terms Of
action and character is soul stuff!

Hammond, Ind. May &c.
Editor, TIMES: The case of Gartner
VS.. Soltwedel, which created quite an
interest in Hammond circles, especf-
ally in what is called Cottage Grove
ended at Valparaiso May Is when the
jury in the case rendered a verdict
against the defendant. The contro-
versy was about the ownership of lot
rs in Cottage Grove addition to Ham
mond. This addition was laid out and
plated by NJ. NJ. Towle when Ham
mond was in its infancy. 1t appears
one lot was allotted to a wrong party,
whereby all owners of lots in the one
block on Logan street were leopard
| lied in their property rights, finally
one lot remaining which was sold and
bought up by a real estate firm for
taxes. before any of the owners of the
rest of the lots realized the gravity
Of the situation. But the parties in
controversy and others along the street
were shown their property, took pos
session and occupied it for a period of
twenty six years. In this particular
case Soltwedel bought two lots, 100
feet front, from Peter Young, who
bought it from the original owner in
1882 and held possession for four
years, after which So1twedel held con-
tinuous possession to date. About
two years ago as Gartner claimed part
of the property held and possessed by
Soltwedel, a suit was commenced to
quiet the title The case was tried
twice the last time at Valparaiso.
We can say, the trial judge appears
to have been fair in his rulings and
instructions. After all the evidence
was in. about 4 o'clock in the after
noon, the jury was dismissed until the
next day, when the decision was rend-
cred. Certainly an unusual proceed
ing!
We have procured an affidavit that
one attorney who represented Gartner
was seen with a juror in a saloon and
had a conversation with him between
Friday afternoon and Saturday morn
ing, when the case was argued and
given to the jury for final decision
This would certainly entitle Soltwedel
to a new trial.
As the case now stands the land
company is one lot ahead, practically
for nothing. Soltwedel is one out
