to cross the street. Only Bobby was
unaware Of the heavy atmosphere.
And when they finally did start across
the street. Mother lost confidence in
the policeman's semaphore. stopped
in the middle Of the car track because
an automobile looked impatient, started
back. changed her mind, and at last,
obeying yank from Daddy, picked
Bobby up in her arms and rushed across
just before the traffic was released.
And then relations were almost com
pletely broken of.
TT WAS an exhausted, hungry, dis
l. agreeable quartet that reached home
late chat afternoon carrying various
bundles and family -squeaking tin
horn.
Mother was firmly convinced that It
was all Daddy's fault: * she ever did
Christmas shopping again, he would not
be invited.
And he resolved that hereafter his
Christmas shopping would be one man
trip, with no women tagging along.
Aunt Jenny's resolve was not stated,
but she looked as IL she would never do
any Christmas shopping again, alone or
accompanied.
Only Bobby was able TO eat MS sup
per and stumble drowsily into bed, mur-
muring things about that little engine on
the track
And not one Of them remembered that
lust about this time last year they
went through the very same experience,
with the very same results and made
| the very same resolutions.
It nearly always happens that way
when the whole family goes shopping

Back In the early days Of the re-
public 1t was considered fine idea
to decorate paper with the portraits
Of presidential candidates. In this way
the letter writer showed not only his
preference. but tried to influence his
correspondents for his candidate, re-
marks the New York Sun. A fine ex-
ample Of this sort Of political propa-
ganda was unearthed recently In New
York. Il dates back Co 1870. when
William Henry Harrison was running
for president on the Whig ticket
against Martin Van Buren,. Democrat.
The letterhead shows the two sides
OF the gold medal awarded by con-
gress to General Harrison for his serv-
ices In the War of 1872 The picture
TO the left shows a medallion portrait
or General Harrison, while the one at
the right depicts the Goddess OF LIB
erty. armed with a spear. placing :
wreath OF laurel on an Indian tepee.
This ritter was intended as q com
pliment TO the general for his success
in lighting against the British and In

Under the pictures OF the two sides
OF the medal is a copy OF the resolu-
ton OF congress comforting the med
ais on General Harrison and Isaac

SURE THAT ANIMALS DREAM

nish calls attention to the fact that
horses neigh and rear In their sleep,
and affirms that cows and sheep. es-

young. dream.
Darwin, in the descent of Man"
says that "dogs, cats, horses and
probably all the higher animals. even
birds, as Is stated on good authority,
have vivid dreams. and this IS shown
BY their movements and VOICE"
George John Romanes, In his Men
tai Evolution In Animals" says that
the fact that dogs dream is proven
bal, and quotes Seneca and Lucretius,
and furnishes proof from Dr.. Lauder
Lindsay, an eminent authority, that
horses dream. Bechstein holds that
the bullfinch dreams, and gives case
where the dream took on the char
acter OF a nightmare, and the bird fell
from its perch. and four great author
tiles say that dreaming becomes 50
vivid as 20 lead to somnambulism.

produced Is observed with the micro
