A Warning Dream

Napoleon believed devoutly in dreams
rs warning or even as forecasts Of what
was to come. and even he who most
prides himself upon his freedom from
superstition knows Of or has experience
cd mt least one dream that cannot be
explained us u mere result of oyerfced-
ing.
When we contemplate dreams and
their qualifications science can help us
but little in their explanation. Wilkie
Collins showed this to he 50 in one of
his most ingenious novels, "Armadale."
Warming dreams or premonitions may
be the result of natural laws which we
do not understand.
Lincoln was not counted supcrsti-
tious because he had some confidence
in the prophetic character of one dream,
at least. for it visited his sleep on
several occasions, and he spoke of it
seriously to members of his family and
to his closest friends. In telling of this
vision he said he seemed to be i'll "a
singular. Undesirable vessel, but always
the same, moving with great rapidity
toward a dark and indefinite shore"
The dream preceded several marked in
cidents during his occupancy of the
presidential chair. notably before the
battles of Antietam. fredericksburg and
Gettysburg.
On the morning Of the memorable
18th of April he informed members of
his cabinet that lie had dreamed this
SAME thing the night before and he.
lieved that they were III the threshold

The DUTY ON SUGAR

The Butte News says: That sane
and clever weekly, the Saturday Ever
ing Post, points II i'll a recent issue
that the duty now imposed on sugar is
IS per cen ad valorem rs against
sc per cent on champagne. II per cent
on automobiles and 35 per cent on fnrs.
Thus it appears that the necessity of
every house hold, poor or rich, pays
from so to 100 per cent higher duty
than the fizzy drink of the rich and
the s~pendthrift, or the high-powered car
of the millionaire.
Most people would be inclined to
believe hat such protection for the
industry would make the sugar trusts
operations profitable enough if legit-
imately conducted. yet that corpora
ton perpetrated upon the government
frauds in weighing which run up into
millions.
THE directors and officers of the
trust disclaim responsibility for these
frauds, saying, in effect, that the EN-.
ployes who did the work by which the
trust-not the cmployes-was bcne.
fitted, did it without orders or conniv-
ance higher up. The comfiding public
is expected to swallow that sweet NOR
