DREAM INSPIRATION.
Intellectual Achievements Born q
Visions In Sleep,

1t is we'll known. says 81. Arlington
Bruce in Success Magazine, that
dreams have stimulated men to re-
markable intellectual achievements
and have even supplied the material
for these achievements. Thus Cole
ridge composed "Kublai Khan in a
dream. Tartini got his Devils So
nata" from a dream in which the devil
appeared and challenged him to .mu-
steal competition. 1t was dream that
gave Voltaire the first canto of his
"Henriade." and Dante's "Divina Com
media" is likewise said to have been
inspired by dream.
Many novelists on their own admis-
sion have obtained the plots for some
of their best works from materials
provided in dreams. A particularly
impressive instance is that of Robert
Louis Stevenson. whose 'tChapter on
Dreams in his book "Across the
Plains'' should be read by all who
would learn what dreams can do for a
man intellectually. The solution of
battling mathematical problems. the
ideas necessary to complete some in
vention. have been supplied by dreams.
Occasionally the dreamer has been
known to rise in his sleep and jot
down the information thus acquired.
In such cases he usually forgets all
about the helpful dream and on awak-
ing is greatly surprised at finding the
record he has made of it. which shows
that-as with the visions so potently
influencing health-it is possible for
dreams to aid man in an intellectual
way without his being consciously
aware of them.

T|RzY AND
HER WOOERS
A Ruse That Aided the Girl In Her
Selection.
BY FRANK Il. SWEET.

The last rays Of the sun softened the
girls red hair into golden halo as she
sat upon the log, her bare feet showing
beneath the hem of her cheap print.
On the log beside her was q sunbon-
net, and pressing against the sunbon-
net was the helve of an AK such as
only very strong man was accustom-
ed to WELD.
The girl was evidently resting after
a day of hard labor, for deep around
her were scattered the still odorous
pine chips, and on the other side of the
log rose a huge pile Of wood cut into
two feet chunks to fit the regulation
fireplace Of the mountain log and mud
cabin.
A handsome. powerfully built man
had come down the mountain path
barefoot and, as he seemed to think,

to the attack if they come within strik-
ing distance of the enemy. AS rule,
the silfians prefer to lure detached
parties into an ambush or defile and
thus inflict heavy loss upon them. The
mounted men seldom dismount to fire,
and their firing. being from the sad
die, is very inaccurate. Should the adj
vance of the white troops be slow or
hesitating the Moors effect q bold
combination between horsemen and
footmen and generally succeed in in
flicting heavy losses on their enemy.
The prime tactics of the Moors are to
delay the advance of an enemy as
much as possible by mounted rifle fire
until they can discern its extent and
direction and subsequently to try en-
veloping the advancing force. The
tribes also indulge in sniping. but not
to very great extent. and they also
fight individually. They do not neglect
opportunities for stratagem and can
effect some very clever ruses. They
are also guilty Of abusing the services
Of the white flag in action.
The Moorish intelligence system is
an excellent one, and the tribes are
seldom without information regarding
the movements of an enemy. They
have also an excellent system of sig
mailing at night by means of small fires
dotted about the hills and ravines.

THE REASON FOR 1T.
Mrs. Hilton Tells Why Her Husband
Introduced Anti-Big Hat Bill.

Chicago, April 24-The rea! reason for
the anti-big hat bill introduced into the
Ie gislature by Representative George c.
Hilton Eas come to light. The inform
ant is Mrs. Hilton herself and moreover
she does not agree entirely with her
husbands views.
Il was down at Springfield she said,
while the suffragist people were there.
Many of them wore such big hats that
it was impossible for the members of
the legislature to get around.
Il think that those big hats did
more damage to the cause of women
suffrage than anything else that hap
pened there. The poor legislators were
always humping their faces against big
straw hats or scratching themselves on
feathers or long hat pins
Legislators, when interviewed, ac-
knowledged that the information was
correct.
The position of the opposition is thus
stated by Mrs. Oliver w. Stewart, presi-
dent of the Illinois Woman's Suffrage
association.
IF the Illinois legislators would use
some of their energy in seriously con-
sidering woman's suffrage or some of
the other important issues before them
instead of thinking up such ridiculous
measures as this hat bill they would be
Of greater service to their state.''

FIRST ARREST MADE.

With Hotel Law.

At $50 this morning. Fire Chief G. Q.

attorney and filed complaint against
Mrs. J. S. Moore, owner of the AIRING

Several lodging house buildings have
been under investigation recently, and
the disastrous fire of this morning will
probably result in the immediate ar
rest of several persons who have failed
to heed the warnings issued by the
fire marshal.
Fire Marshal WiImarth. in his COM
plant, states that on March IL. 1909,
written notice was duly served upon
the defendant, commanding her to
forthwith comply with the law, but
notwithstanding such warning, the de-
PENDANT has for 40 days after service
failed and refused to comply with the
requirements.
The things which the defendant has
failed to do are enumerated as follows:
To provide the second and third floors
of the building with halls running from
one side wall to the other. and to pro-
vide these halls with openings and iron
fire escapes, each marked by a red
light; to place an automatic gong neal
the center of the building on each f1ool
which could be operated from the of
fee or first floor; to post notices in
letters not less than three inches high
giving directions to fire escapes; or tC
provide chemical or other suitable hre

BADGER BANKS MAKE GAINS.
Wisconsin Banking Commissioners
Renort Makes Suggestions.

Individual deposits for 1908 in ma
tional. state and savings banks locat-
ed in Wisconsin show an increase OF
S410S,981.62 over those of 1907, &C.
cording to the annual report of Bank
ing Commissioner M. G. Bergh, issued
recently. In 1907 deposits were $2O4,-
327,062, and in 1908 $208, 436, O43.31.
Bergh attributes most bank failures
to two causes. The first is lack or
interest in management on the part OF
directors, leaving all to one or two eX-
ccutive officers, and excessive loans
to officers and directors of their own
bank to enterprises in which such Of
ficers and directors are interested.
He suggests as a remedy for the
first cause that the legislature amend
present laws in this respect whereby
stockholders in order to be eligible TO
q Mace on the board Of directors must
he owners of at least ten shares each
of capital stock, or $1,000, and the
remedy for the second cause he rec
ommends is the passage of a law flX-
ing limit as to the aggregate amount
that may be borrowed by directors
from their own institutions.

Deposed Officer of Insurance Depart
ment Attacks Former Chief.
Mark w. Waite, who was displaced
as deputy commissioner of insurance,
filed with Gov. Davidson formal
charges against State Insurance Com
missioner George E. Beedle, demand
ing an investigation Of the conduct of
that official.
The charges are sensational in
character and directly allege that in
surance companies have been over
charged for examinations; that fees
have been collected where no exami-
nations have been made and that
money so collected has never been
turned into the state treasury, as re-
quired by law.
Similar charges were lodged by
Waite with the civil service commits
sion, seeking the dismissal of Edward
Ketchum, the deputy examiner, on
the ground that he was in collision
in the alleged irregular practices of
Beedle.
Gov. Davidson has not decided
what action to take in the matter,
but will doubtless refer the charges
to the attorney general to determine
whether sufficient facts are alleged
to warrant an investigation. Deputy
Waite has been succeeded in office by
Former Speaker H. l.. Ekern.
Mr.. Beedle is serving his second
term in office, having been reelected
in November.
