 HAS 4 DREAM

of dreams. In other words 1 don't understand all know about dreams. l do know however, that dreams are governed somewhat by what one eats for supper. 1 have heard men say that what they drank after supper had a lot to do with their dreams; of course l cannot say from my own experience. -
 have heard people talk about day dreams! 1 don't know anything about Now l sleep on the sleeping porch, winter and summer, that is if it don't get too cold in the winter. I'm about that good deal as l am about cold shower baths provided there is some lot water mixed in, it feels so much better.
 I don't intend to torture my hide with ice baths just to have some- thing to brag about.
 We'll this particular dream l start ed to tell you about found me in Pine Bluff on a tour of inspection and in- vestigation. l was representing a company of men worth hundred mil hon dollars who wanted to build a model town, and it was my job to find a good example to pattern after. l first looked at the streets, found them all paved without a bump in them. The street cars were always on time and the passengers lost no time in getting on and off. The streets were all clean no vacant lots were either we'll sodded or in culti. vation. There were no one-story shacks in the business part of town and the city was not disfigured by having little tumbled down shanties mixed in the up-to-date residence sec tion.
 There was a whole square covered with wagon sheds and watering troughs for the convience of the farmers and their teams that haul the products here that made Pine Bluff what it is. There were no poor ly paid preachers, or starved out congregations-churches were loca- ed the same as school houses are, to serve the community and use business sesnse and the plan of salvation was not run on competition basis.
 There was not single knocker in the town, and every body looked hap Cpy and prosperous. White and color Cu lOAh WClC llOG 11l lIlIACu uD III residence district stogether, but each had their own part of town and re- spected each others rights. Beggar and unfortunates were not allowed on the streets, but were we'll housed at an industrial institution where they had chance to help themselves. Capital and labor were on good terms an dthe wage earners shared in the profits of the business and got what was coming to them. If business was dull they stood their share of the loss and did not tear up the comfort of the community by striking.
 l saw thousand other good things and the men represented said "what IS the use of building a model city, we have found one already built and we will move to Pine Bluff, and invest cur money. "Blodgett show us some property for sale, you are in the real estate business" What tickeled me almost into fits, and l called up Fay Tor and company and J. P. Cady, and Hollis, and McGehee and Brewster, and all the other real estate men in town to help take care of them and they gave us each million dollars in cash for our commissions and-the alarm went off and I woke up. We'll if l had just eaten three pieces of mince pie, instead of two, I would have gotten that million dollars.
 Anyhow, I'm still in the real estate timber and land game and at your service. I'll do my part to make Pine Blue better than the dream. Phone me day time 2615, night 7O5. Come and see me day OF night.
