Representative J. o. Cowart, whose
testimony had consumed the entire
forenoon session, was recalled at his
own request, to correct a portion of
his evidence. During the morning

and wanted drinks he provided them
with liquor; that everybody seemed to
be drinking then, as now, only more
of it was being consumed during the
Senatorial contest, and the supply
seemed to be more plentiful: that
there was about as much liquor in one
place as another.

DECEPTION IN WEIGHING AND

WHY DREAMS ARE UNRELIABLE.

Only 60 few people there comes
occasionally In dreams "A dim real
ization OF the unreallty of the eXpe-
rience.
After all. II does not matter they
are able TO say to themselves with
moro or less conviction. This IS only
q dream
Thus one lady. dreaming that she
is trying to Kill three large snakes
by stamping on them, wonders, while
still dreaming. what it signifies to
dream of snakes: and another lady.
when she dreams that she Is in any
unpleasant position-about TO be shot,
for instance-often says to herself
Never mind, | shall wake before il
happens"
This duality OF dreaming conscious
ness Is a manifestation. and the chief
one OF what Is called dlssoclation.
In dissertation we have a phenome.
non which runs through the whole
of the dreaming life, and Is scarcely
less fundamental than the process OF
fusion by which the imagery is built
up. The fact that the reasoning Of
dreams is usually had is due partly
TO the absence of memory elements
that would be present TO waking con
sciousness, and partly to the absence
Of scnsory clements to check the
false reasoning which without them
appears TO be conclusive. That is &c
say, there Is a process OF dissocia
tlon by which ordinary channels OF
association are temporarily blocked
through exhaustion OF the nervous ele-
ments. and the conditions prepared
for the formation OF the hallucnatlon.
