It is announced that a lady doctor is coming from foreign parts to tell us all about our dreams. There is one classic dream which lies at the basis of Eng fish common law about which budding lawyers and othere would like to know little more than has been told in the text books for some thousand years or so.
 An English peasant, sleeping by the side of his wife. had a vivid dream that wolf attacked him and that he saved himself by killing the wolf. He awoke to find that he had slain his wife. His dream was accepted as good defense to the charge of murder. and it has been used ever since to illustrate the principle that there cannot be felonious guilt without the felonious mind. l One has always doubted the historic truth of that dream, which stands i alone in it's species among all the | dreams recorded, and has the air of having been invenetd by the ingenious 1 founders of our common law. It would 1 be interesting if the expert would say 1 whether such a dream and such a se- 1 quel are probable. or even possible. Prince Albert of Thurn and Taxis, who is reported to have been one of | the hostages murdered by the Bavarian
 Spartacists was one of the richest men l in Germany. When the war tax i'm 1 posed by the reichstag in 1913 was be- | ing discussed in the German press Herr Rudolf Martin, statistician with a reputation for estimating other peo- 1 ple's wealth, pointed out that under 1 this tax four Germans would be called on to pay 40.000.000 marks. The four | Croesuses were the kaiser. whose
 wealth Herr Martin placed at 390 0000,-
 900 marks; the Grand Duke of Meek 1 lenburg- Strelitz, 10000, 900 marks;
 Frau Krupp. 320.0O0,000 marks, and
 the Prince of Thurn and Taxis. 270,- 000.000 marks.
 i And there is little doubt these mil 1 lionaires calculated on getting back their 10000 900 marks, with generous interest, after Germany had won the
 war.
