A DREAM CAT.
Repeated Appearance Premonitory Of
Disease.

Repeated Appearance Premonitory Of
Some years ago, early in the sum-
mer," says H. Arlington Bruce in
Success Magazine. II dreamed that
while out taking a walk l was sud
denly attacked by a huge cat, which
clawed ferociously at my throat. That
was all there was to the dream, or, at
any rate, that was all remembered on
awakening in the morning, and, natu-
rally enough, dismissed it from my
mind as nothing but dream.
But when | found myself dreaming
the same dream again and again / be-
gan to wonder what significance it
would possibly have. Usually it varied
greatly in minor detail. Always. how
ever, the climax was the same-the
cat had me by the throat and was bit
ing and scratching viciously. Alto
gether | dreamed this dream not less
than a score of times in six months.
shortly before Christmas | took
cold. which settled in my throat. af-
fecting it so badly as to require the
attention Of a specialist. Much to my
establishment. 1t was then discovered
that a growth bad been developing for
some time and that an immediate oper.
alton was necessary.
Several weeks later. the operation
having been performed successfully. 1t
suddenly occurred to me that was no
longer being troubled by the phantom
cat For the first time the meaning OF
the singular dream dawned upon me.
1t had been genuine premonitory
dream. Consciously had been in ut
ter ignorance of the dangerous growth
in my throat. 1t had not progressed
far enough 10 give me any pain or even
to cause discomfort. At the same time
the organic changes it involved had
produced sensations plainly felt by
what psychologists call the subcon-
scious and manfesting through the
subconsciouS TO the conscious in the
form Of n symbolic dream"

Seizure of Wool by u. S. Customs.

Smuggling operations have been
brought to light and seizures made.
during the last fortnight. whereby
quite saving in revenue has been
secured to the government. and cost
ly lesson administered to those en-
gagged in the traffic. Deputy Collect
or Charles M. Bailey of the Customs
office here, acting on information that
wool was being brought from Canada
by team without payment of duty.
took the trail of the smugglers and
secured about twelve thousand pounds
of wool, the value of which is in the
neighborhood of $4,000. The seizures
were made along the line of the Bos-
ton & Maine railroad between New
port and St. Johnsbury. Many people
not conversant with customs laws
have an idea that once we'll across the
border there is safety in this class OF
transactions, but that is not the
case, as these trans C t / o
date back to the month OF
May in this year To ferret out
this wool, much of which had passed
through the hands of more than two
parties required detective ability OF no
mean character and Mr.. Bailey de-
serves much credit for his success.
