London, Oct. 2lSt.-Ufficial confirma-
ton came from two sources this morn
ing Of the reports that Lord Mayor Mae
Sweeney has been fed during a peri
cd of Inconsistencies. The bulletin of
the Irish Self determination League deal
ing with the Lord Mayors condition on
the 10th day of his hunger strike in
BriXton prison announced that the pri-
son doctors had forced meat juice into
MacSWeeney's mouth during a fit of
delirium which the prisoner suffered last
night. From the Government side, it
was stated at the Home Office, that the
Lord Mayor had been fed last night.
1t was explained there hat the prison
doctors were under instructions to use
any possible means to keep him alive,
but that during consciousness he resist
ed attempts to administer nourishment.
Their attitude is, it was stated, that
when the Mayor is unconscious and I'M
able to resist they carry out their or
ders if the can they give him food.

The stock is to be co-ordinated to form an export cotton corporation to handle direct sales of the staple to foreign inter- ests, and this plan was enthusiastic ally indorsed by the American Cot ton Association.

THE DREAMS oF THE DEAD

By Samuel Minturn Peck One night as l lay sleeping
 I wandered far away Across !. land of Faery,
 Where neither night nor day, Nor sun nor star there Was; yet bright The path for me astray. Meseemed beneath a wisful spell.
 About me all was weird; 4. strange and mystic beauty
 On lured me though afeared: ' would go back-but could not turn \ And with awed eyes I peered. A flowers lovely paihos
 Just as it withereth Hung all around-as if sweet Hope
 Had tEere kept tryst with Death; The wild and fearsome fancy
 Almost il chilled my breath. But, oh, of all the queer things
 The strangest was--alone, I caught no glimpse of any soul
 Heard not single tone; And yet a myriad wanderers I knew that path had known. Fer saw I. as I strayed on.
 Down-thrown, but still undimmed Fair pictures far more beautiful
 Than artist ever limned With colors ground by mortal hands. Than poet ever hymned. "Ah, would there were mine one
 canvas"
 Sighed l, as man will do Quick came an icy whisper:
 Choose; all are free to you; Of dead men the dreams they loved
 And never saw come truer'

 Furthermore, in all his experience. the deponent sayeth that he never wore patched trousers, something that Senate. Glass. when Secretary of the Treasury. advised men to do. When suit of the deponent begins to wear out, it goes everywhere-sort of collapsse.
