I am taking lessons in psychology, 0
rather to be more commonplace, in dream
land. To show the success l am makins
I viii say that on Monday night dream
ed that one of our respectable busines
men left his home for the railroad sta
ton, enroute for Dover. He carried
bundle under his arm, which he supposed
TO be an extra shirt. Arriving at the sta
ton he concluded to look at it, when be
found he had one of the baby's napkins
He returned home to make change and
missed the train. On awakening l found
It all a dream. Now, reader, don't you
think I am making headway? I do.
/ And I think I shall soon be as proficient
IN dreaming as MY tutor, and my dream
! land Will be about as real.
February has left US, and it went out
beautifully The last day was a pretty
day; a clear sky, a healthy atmosphere,
tempered with a balmy breeze Did 1t
ever occur to the reader what a memor-
able month February is The many holi-
days there are in it? Let US summarize
Just little. We will begin with ground
hog day. Then follow four others: Ash
Wednesday, the beginning of Lent; an
nlversary of Lincoln birthday, St. Val
euune's S Day, anniversary of Washing
ton birthday. We may have forgotten
some others. However, in consideration
OF February being the shortest month of
the year, we think the last day, the 18th,
should be made a national holiday, and,
as we have no national holiday at all, will
some one have presented a bill at the
coming special session of Congress to
make the 2Sth of February one? Simply
because it's the last day Of the shortest
month of the year.
