Last Night Screams
What They Mean
DID you DREAM OF CLOTHES?

CLOTHES play an important part
~ in Dreamland, SartOrial effects
having their value even in the world
of shadows. To dream of clean, new
clothes means good luck; that you
are wearing good clothes, long and
happy life. But to dream that your
clothing is old and dirty is not a ia
vorable sign, though to dream that
your clothing is old but yet neat and
clean is not so bad--which is crafty
ing in view of the present necessity
of wearing our old clothes because
of the high price of new ones.
But be modest with regard TO your
dress, even in the selection of dream
clothing. If you have in your dream
wardrobe great quantity of clothes,
more than you know what TO do with,
you will suffer through your own ex-
travagance-the same law in regard TO
this seeming to hold good both in the
land of dreams and the world of actu--
alities. Also, if your dream-clothes
are of gaudy colors there is disap-
pOintment In store for you; another
point in which the two worlds agree
that loudneSS of dress is bad form.
Where they most decidedly disagree
Is with regard 10 the stealing Of
clothes. To steal clothes in your
dreams foretells great success in love
and business, whereas to steal then
outside of dreamland is frowned upon
by the law. Dancing tights are en-
tirely out of fashion in Dreamland-
they indicate a temporary shortage of
money
AS headgear, silk cap seen in a
dream is n lucky omen. If you dream
of putting on any sort of CAP be very
watchful in your love affairs: if you

THE GIRL ON THE JOB
How to Succeed-How to Get
Ahead-How TO Make Good
By JESSIE ROBERTS
LIMITATIONS

TINE reason why many women fail
u TO make a success of their work
is because they are not careful In
studying their own limitations.
We all know that there are thou
sands of people who think they can
write or paint or act or become mo-
ton picture stars, and who waste
years of effort in thus attempting the
impossible, ending In disappointment
and poverty where half the amount
of effort given to something they
could do would have brought them at
least fair living.
But there are other limitations be-
sides those of lack of artistic talent.
There are bodily limitations that need
to be recognized. There is no more
use in attempting work for which you
are not physically capable than that
for which you are mentally or tenn
peramentally unfit.
Many people can do excellent work
If they are not obliged TO superintend
or arrange the work of others. For
a woman of this type TO try to run
q business of her own that necessi-
tates employing and managing a force
of assistants is mere fOOlishness. How
ever we'll she understands the job,
she will not make q success of Ii If
she cannot direct other persons. Be
cause a woman can trim hat smart
ly Is no sign that she can run sue
cessful hat shop, whether the money
to start is available or not.
The old adage that it pays to know
yourself Is nowhere more necessary
than in business life. Live and learn
Is all very well, but you want to do

THE WOODS

Touched hands with other roads that led

But now the way
Is hidden meath the chill
or diamonded drifts that glsten like the
star
We are shut in
From ev'ry distant thing.
That other life amid the world of men:
From dirt and din,
Until returning spring
Shah find the road and waken us again
The chore-boy now
His frost ed finger blows
And makes his path from islanded door

Like sturdy PROV
He parts the billowed SHOWS
And heaps his brands OF comfort on the
floor.
The fire he plies
With piles of pitchy pine
And We arise
To breathe the wintry wine.
To plunge abroad and icy tasks assail.
So breaks the day:
SO comes the arctic dawn
n this our world when snow Is here;
And SO away
The months shall follow on
Till softer skies shall mark another year.
The horses stamp
IN clouds OF steamy smoke.
The teamster's voice OF mastery await.
Their bits they champ
And shake their leather yoke
And life breaks forth where life is isolate.
Now from the wood.

Comes stroke OF ak and sawyer's steady

In powdered snow to earth comes thun-

Thus passes day
With shout and merry call,
With echoed blow and crosscut's swishy
sweep.
Until the gray
OF eve envelops all
And drives us back 10 shelter and TO sleep.
Though this our life.
A rugged life and plain,
OF sudden danger and of slow reward,
The wind a knife.
A scimitar OF pain.
With death to fight and frosty stream
to ford:
Though chill the way,
Laborious the toll
Though rough the fare. the habitation
rude;
Though skies be gray,
Though stubborn be the SOIL
And even day night of solitude
We fondly know.
We know, I'm other years
When we shall look again on sunny seas.
This land of snow
Shall rise from out our tears
And dearest seem of all our memories.

In a collision between an auto and
a load of hay, the driver of the latter
was projected into the village road on
his head and lay there semi-conscious
until two occupants Of the more speedy
vehicle lifted him out of the dust and
started to carry him toward the side
walk.
"Shall we take him into that under

of the burden bearers.

SUFFRAGE FOR WOMEN

DEFEATED.
The lower house Of the legislature
treated the Susan b. Anthony amend
ment for woman's suffrage with a de
cision which makes its fate, final and
conclusive for the present session
The Federal amendment came up last
Wednesday upon a motion to reject
the same upon the ground that il
was an unwarranted. unnecessary and
dangerous interference with the
rights reserved to the state and to
the people in both the State and Fed
eral constitutions. Scarce ten min
utes was given to the debate and the
resolution passed by vote Of 106 to
%.
If this vote is the reflection Of the
sentiment Of the state its defeat is
assured for this session. The scant
consideration given the measure in
the House, the speed with which the
resolution was put through, the reas-
ons assigned for opposition TO it are
evidences that the opponents realized
that they would profit in its speedy
disposal.
Womans suffrage is assured de-
spite Mississippis action. It will
come soon and the country will be
infinitely better off when it does
come.
