inquired the meaning Of this cryp-
tic message. One young man, always
first to speak, replied: " The SAM
means that its ffty-four miles to
| Chatham | have been over the Cork
screw lately and counted the smoke
from the engine"
A young lady member OF the Public
Welfare Association said that the
second line meant that it cost $500
per lesson to get instruction in the
latest Castle two-step.
No one seemed to know what l. p.
| r. A. did stand for but I concluded
the blooming parade was under the
auspices Of the Internal Protective
Tariff Alliance and couldn't see
| sense to any Of it, as is the way with
| dreams.
The weird group passed on, much
gold flowing from the drums az the
Industrious angels pounded in the
heads.
Behind them walked the human be-
ing, his eyes glued to the gold at his
eet, but not daring 70 touch it. for
| some reason.
Visions Of Ford and eggs for
breakfast once a month danced be-
! ore me and as I made a dash for
! some of that gold, off went the
| blamed alarm clock.

OF experience figuring out dreams and
whether they are likely TO come true.
This dream Is different than most OF
he kinds l deal in. but after so in

In substance this is the result Of his
meditation. There is no special
significance in being asleep in church
or being disturbed By the choir in
one way or another. both are part
of the regular church service.
The two angels, being gentlemen
would not have been playing bass
drums drought the golden streets
without good reason for such bolster
GUS conduct The initials n. H. "
and II A. w. would seem TO indicate
that they We're two well known bank
men, and il connection with the
igures on the scroll there Is 10 qucs
tion but what the reference is to that
which has since happened, the re
leasing Of about $4,000 with consid
cradle noise by the two prosperous
National Banks OF our village.
Harry said the human being with
the scroll was Frank Howe but / did
not believe that part OF his iAterpre-
tation and told him SO I said ! was

Howe 70 know that he would have
