Day DREAMS Instead.
The hot weather OF the past few
days has caused many interesting
things and resulted in freaks OF many
kinds. but the following Is a sample
Of what one man in the city expert
enced while sleeping peacefully and
tho story Is told as nearly as possible
as II occurred to him:
He said: LAS the weather was so
hot last night, and I felt all tagged
out and tired from the heat, l decided
to take q little walk down TO the city
park grounds and rest on ono Of tho
benches among the trees close by III"
big new swimming pool. When l got
there all Of the benches were taken by
others who had gone there before me
10 get a slight breath OF fresh air
many OF the occupants Of the benches
being women with their little ones In
their arms. and all showed the result
OF intense suffering from the
weather. I went up the terrace 10 III"
side OF the big new swimming pool
and sat down on the grass to watch
the boys and girls. as we'll as a large
number OF grown men and women. a.!
Of whom were having the time OF
their lives disporunG themselves in
the water. and It all looked SO attrac-
1.-Two and cool that I was drawn nlInos'
TO the point OF going 10 the dressing
rooms and changing to q bathing suit.
50 as TO get into the water. With the
shade OF the trees located on tho
grounds. tho place was the coolest and
most agreeable to be found In the
city. and I remarked what wonder
full thing II Is TO have 4 pace such "a
this. where all can go for rest and
recreation after the days toll" Tho
man then Weakened up, and he claims
the whole thing was so real that he
was hardly able 10 convince himself
that It vas only a result Of min
suffering from tho strain OF business
during the spell Of intense heat.
What a wonderful thing this would
be. and there are hundreds In town
who would be able TO enjoy plavr
such as was dreamed Of by this bust
moss man. II the town would only
awaken TO the need and get busy.
