vEARNINe FOR THE HOME TOWN

In the January American Magazine
Edna Ferber writes story entitled
THAT Home Town Feeling" One OF
the principal characters in 1t is Mer-
cedes Meron of the Morning Glory
Burlesquers company" Here is what
Mercedes says about the alleged gay
life that she leads:
I'm dead sick of this. Who cares
whether l live or die? Ii is just ono
darned round of grease paint and sky
blue tights, and new boarding houses,
and humping over to the theatre every
night, going on, and humping back to-
the room again. i want to wash up
some supper dishes with egg on 'em
and set some yeast for bread, and pop
a dishpan full of corn, and put shawl
over my head and run over to Millie
Krause's to get her kimono sleeve pat
tern. Pm sour on this dirt and noise.
l want to spend the rest of my life in
place so that when l die they'll put
column in the paper, with verse at
the top, and all the neighbors'll come
in and help bake Up. Here-why,
here I'd just be two lines on the want
ad page, with 80 cents extra for 'ke-
waskum paper please copy"

Located At Robinson Bridge
Near Brink Haven

A Big Flood In The Valley
Feared By The Residents

Brink Haven, o. Feb. 26--Driven
from their homes by the rapidly rising
water in the Mohican river, caused by
the ice-dam located at the Robinson
bridge north of this place, families are
seeking refuge In the higher country
and with friends and relatives who live
at greater distance from the scene
of the impending danger. AS yet no
serious loss has been experienced as
a result of the water but unless the ice
gives way the valley will be flooded.
For the past several days the ice
pack at the bridge has been the source
of great deal of apprehension by the
inhabitants OF that section and fruit
less efforts have been made to dis
lodge it. 1t was formed when the
frozen surface of the river was broken
up by the warmer weather and the
rains. Several days ago County Sur
veyor Arthur Wolfe examined the OBJ
struction with an aim to making an at
tempt to have 1T cleared away, but 1t
was decided that an attempt would be
useless as dynamite would be neces.
sary and, owing to the position of the
ice, the explosion would greatly weak
en- If not destroy the foundations of
the bridge.
When the water began to rise fol-
lowing the recent thaw not much at
tention was paid the dam, but on Mon
day morning the heavy rains had
swollen the river and had caused the
dam to become a menace
The water has backed for a distance
of over three miles up the river and
has covered a wide area of ground on
each side of the bank. Most of the resi-.
dents of the valley have moved out,
but few still remain hoping that the
gradual rise of the water will cease.

Settled The Difficulty

The authorities of Mt. Vernon took
a unique way of settling a family
quarrel on Saturday. The disturbance
in the family has existed for some
time. 1t appears that the head of the
house did not want one of his grown
daughters about the house, claiming
that she spent too much money in pro-
viding for the table. The wife is i'll
and needs someone to take care Of her
but as stated above the father thought
the daughter was too eXtravagant.
On Saturday the two jusices of the
peace in Mt. Vernon, Mayor Perrine,
Probate Judge Berry, Prosecuting At
torney Cromley, Chief of Police Glenn
ents and Juvenile officer Purcell sat
as sort of court of inquiry in COM
mon pleas court room and heard the
family difficulties related by different
members of the family.
After hearing both sides of the
story, "the court" decided that the
daughter should continue to cook and
assist in the care of the invalid moth
er, but that the father should furnish
her only Sc per week to provide for
the table. Heretofore the father
claimed that the daughter had been ex-

& Moore represent the plaintiff.
The allegation is made that in the
year 1903, the plaintiff and defendant
entered into a partnership business
for the purpose of leasing and buying
land for oil and gas purposes. The
plaintiff claims that each was to con.
tribute equally to the partnership bust
ness and that the profits and losses
were to be shared equally by the plain
tiff and the defendant. The plaintiff
states that the firm now has natural
gas plants at Belleville and Butler.
The plaintiff alleges that he has paid
as expenses in the said business, in
various transactions, sum greatly In
excess of the amount paid by the de-
fendant and at the present time they
are unable to agree as to the manage
ment of the Bellville and Butler
plants. The plaintiff states that he
has made the defendant an offer to
purchase the Butter and BellvilIe gas
plants and that he has further given
the defendant an opportunity to pur-
chase the said plants at the same price
offered by the plaintiff, but that the
defendant refuses to sell or buy.
The plaintiff therefore asks for dis
solution Of the partnership, the ap-
pointment of receiver and for an ac-
counting.

VIvIDNEss OF THE DREAM
Visions In Sleep That Are Common to
All Races of Men-some
Explanations.

There are one or two experiences
with regard to dreams which are we'll
known and are of some significance,
Sir Ray Lancaster writes in the Lon.
don Telegraph. The first is that when
doing one may have bad dream Of
fight or an earthquake leading up TO
terrible crash, whereupon one
awakes and finds that the slamming Of
door has been the cause Of ones
awakening, and at the same time has
started the seemingly long dream
which ended in the crash. The train
OF memory set going by the crash Is
retrospective, anu yet more rapid than
the effect OF the nervous shock which
causes one to awake, Another re.
markable dream which is common to
many persons has excited attention
and an attempt to account for 1t. One
dreams that by bending the arms and
stiffening the muscles one acquires
the power Of ascending in the air and
floating over long distances. This
dream recurs again and again. 1t has
been suggested that it is a reminis.
cence inherited from an ancestral con.
dition in which We either we're flying
or swimming animals. But there Is
no ground for supposing that such an.
cestral "reminiscences are possible.
Probably the memory evoked in the
dream is that Of our own early days,
when we were carried in the arms or
otherwise. The dream of falling from
great height is also common one
and difficult to account for. That Of
having to appear on the stage OF a
theater when we have not learned our
part is another. Among the most In
terestlng dreams are those in which
dead relatives appear. Usually 1t is
the most beloved. And he or she has
strange, fragile aspect; we have to
be careful not 10 hurt these shadowy
figures or they will really die! Their
supposed death (Which we remember
in the dreamJ was mistake; they are
not really dead; they are only re-
duced to a puzzllng, elusive state OF
existence, and on the condition that
we are very discreet and gentle in our
behavior to them they are still al.
lowed a precarious continuance on this
earth. That dream is common to all
men and all races Of men. No wonder
that humanity believes in ghosts and
the return OF the dead, for no dream
is so vivid as that Of the return of
ones dead father.

You rascal. You and will go upstairs

The clergyman and his visitor ac-
cordingly mounted the stairs side by
side and entered DR.. Dix's study.
where it was readily seen that there
was no resemblance between the rec
tors writing and that Of the letter
The stranger seemed taken aback at
Rrst, but quickly recovered himself,
lnd, muttering something about dis
guised hand, threatened TO put the
matter into the hands Of his lawyer,
saying which he departed down stairs
and left the house.
On the next morning the rector re-
ceived another Communication from
Gentleman Joe" in which he stated
that he was the visitor of the day he
fore, that he he'd greatly enjoyed his
call and hoped tho doctor had recoy.
cred from his fright.
1t now became evident that strin.
gent methods would have to be taken
TO protect the rector against any
further persecution Of this character.
In spite of all The annoyance that
Gentleman Joe" had caused, there
was only one thing which could af-
ford grounds for criminal proceed
ings, and that was the fact that the
prosecutor had written letter threat
ening to make certain scaHdalous
charges against therefor through the
medium of The press. Strange as 1t
may seem, he had not technically vic
lated any law in any of his other
actions. But this new act enabled the
police to invoke the aid Of the post
office for the discovery Of his identity.
Detectives we're accordingly posted to
watch every letter box and branch
post office in New York City, being
provided with keys and with samples
of GENTLEMAN Ices" handwriting.
Throughout several days these men
stood at short distance from the
letter boxes, and every time that n
letter was mailed the letter box was
at once opened and the handwriting
examined. This went on for week,
detectives being withdrawn from
practically every branch OF the police
service; but Gentleman Joe" did net
make use of the mails.
