not see the head clearly that far. You
read that the desperate Slade could
with a six shooter at fifty or sixty

coat that he chose, but you may be

No Morals IN DreamIand.

II. as many writers have suggested.
1t Is the soul itself that guides the i'm
agery Of dreams, how are we to ex-
plain the fact that in this chaos of
ideas and feelings there is so little dis
tinction between right and wrong that
when dreaming we commit acts for
which we should weep tears of blood
were they as real as they seem to be.
As Professor Hoffman has said, "The
familiar check of waking hours, Il
must not do It because 1t would be un-
Just or unkind,' never once seems to
arrest US in the satisfaction Of any
whim which may blow about our way
ward fancies."
From all of which we must conclude
that the dream realm is world that is
entirely oblivious to any moral sense
and that. though 1t may be true that a
troubled conscience may produce or
affect our dreams. the dreams them,
selves are never burdened with con-
science.-Bohemian Magazine.
