One More Word to Dellnquents.

A good many of our subscribers
have hesrkened to our request that
they pay up, but some have evidently
overlooked the notice Of last week.
We repeat that under the recent rul-
ing of the Postofice Department pub
fishers of weekly newspapers cannot
send their papers through the mails
at the reduced rates to subscribers
who are more than one year in ar
resrs. 1t is manifestly impossible for
US 10 put stamp on papers sent to
delinquent subscribers, charging them
only dollar a year and maybe not
getting that, so che only thing for us
to do is to cut of all who do not pay
promptly. If you know you are In
arrears, please square up your account
If you do not know it, we will short
ly send you statement.

A BAD DREAM.
Bullet From Sleeping Mans Gun
Passes Under Wife's Arm.

There is a grateful, although badly
scared citizen of Oak Cliff today, and
scared though grateful wife. Both
are grateful that they are alive. The
man is particularly grateful that he
did not kill his wife in frightful
dream he had last night, in which
he used the gun from under his pill
low and discharged it several times
in his sleep, one bullet passing under
his wife's arm.
This is true story. The names of
the parties of course must be sup
pressed This morning about 1 o'clock
the residents of a certain portion of
Oak Cliff were startled by hearing
several pistol reports from neigh
boring residence of the utmost re-
spectability. Windows were thrown
up, and as the reports continued sew
eral of the neighbors plucked up cour-
age enough to go to the house. There
they saw a strange sight.
On the bed in the room in which
the shooting was going on, lay a well
known citizen asleep with forty-five
caliber gun in his hand blazing away.
His wife was trying to wake him in
vain In fact before he could be
aroused, the shirt was almost torn
from his back. One of the bullets
from his gun went under his wife's
arm; half an inch nearer and it would
have entered her heart.
When the man was finally awak-
ened, big cold drops of perspiration
covered his entire frame, and he
nearly tainted when told what had
happened 1t appeared that he had
considerable money in the house for
several days. In thinking over it he
