In France and England women for

We are none of us likely to 90 into

this than the fact that a woman ought
not to attempt such feats. A girl who
is looking about for a job ought to

Last Night'sD Dreams
What They Mean
DID you DREAM ABOUT Sheep

NEOST dreams of rural life and
1Nl country scenes appear to be re-
garded by the authorities of Dream
land as favorable omens To dream
of seeing a flock of sheep, for instance,
is a very good indication for the flu
ture. To be surrounded by them in
creases the good luck and a flock Of
lambs foretells even more good luck
than a flock of sheep. But just to
gaze upon a flock of sheep feeding in
the pastures of your dreams means
that you will have success in life.
If you are unmarried and dream
that you are watching the little lamb
kins skip about, your sweetheart is
faithful and of a good disposition.
Also, if you are a man, the lady of
your choice is inclined to say Yes"
If you will but pop the question. IL
you are married and see sheep or
lambs in the visions of yOur slumbers
you will have children who will ac-
quire riches and be a great comfort
to you. If you pick up a lamb and
carry it in your dreams you will be a
lucky person indeed.
If a sailor dreams of sheep it means
great luck and a safe and prosperous
voyage to him. If you see yourself
s4learing sheep it is an indication that
you will shortly make money by a
business enterprise, though, accord
ing to some of the ~wiseacres, it means
that you will have to struggle hard
for this success. But ii isn't good to
see the sheep running away from you,
for that indicates that some of your
pretended friends are really trying to
injure you. 1t is a warning to be on
your guard. Also it is a bad sign to
hear the lambs baa or to see them
killed. If you see your flock Of dream
sheep lean and scraggy look out for
your investments carefully If you
would profit by them.

THE ROMANCE OF 0 R
"ciGAR."

a n LUMBER of prominent
Il etymOlogists, among them
Littre, have endeavOred to prove
the word edgar" is derived from
the Spanish cigarra, meaning
grasshopper, and that it was
applied to the rolled leaves of
tobacco by reason of their SINH
larity in shape to the body of
this insect. This explanation,
while ingenious, hardly fits the
facts in the case, for when to-
bacco was first introduced into
Spain from Cuba, it was grown
in gardens or cigarrales, as the
Spanish call them.
The weather. Spaniards had
a fad of raising tobacco in their
c~igarrales and making their own
cigars, which they would proffer
with the explanation "Es de mi
cigarral' cit is from my gar
den" as proof that the tobacco
was wholesome and home
grown. Before long the express
sion changed to Este cigarro es
di mi %cigarral," which might be
literally translated, This gar
den product from my garden"
and it was from this that the
word cigar. originated.
However, in the final analysis,
the grasshopper does have
something TO do with it-for the
Spanish "cigarral" or garden"
is so-called because it is the
place where the grasshopper
("cigarra") resides.

THE WOODS
BY DOUGLAS MALLOCH
H

Heard a rustic in the brush
Only %yesternight;
Heard a rustic in the hush,
Somethin' out of sight
Jest a football on the ground,
Shakin' of a tree;
But we argued all around
What the thing could be.
Jack, the stable-bOy, he said
Likely twas a colt
Farmers colt tibet got its head,
Broke its halter holt.
Bill, the c%ookhouse turnkey, swore
Twas a bear er cub
Huntin' round the cookhouse door
Fer a snack of grub.
Pete, who likes to hunt when fall
Comes around each year,
Said 1t wasn't that at all
Tibet it was a deer.
Frank, who drives the two-ox pair,
Said they made him laff,
Said their colt er deer er bear
Simply vas a caff.
So they set an arguhed
What the thing could be:
Ev'ry fellah took a side,
Had a theory.
Jack he chinned it with the chaps,
Bill with all the boys;
Mac, who's def, he said perhaps
There wasn't any noise.
What the rustic was about,
No n ever knew;
But one fact | fggered out
From that gabby crew.:
People look with diff rent eyes,
Hear with different ears;
That what closest TO them lies
Everything appears.
Ev'ry nation is the best
To the man from there,
Ev'ry state beats all the rest
When their sons compare.
Do you wonder at the lot
OF religious creeds?-
Each a special God has got
Eel his special needs.
Harps an music fer the gay.
Huntin' fer the red
Atheists expect to stay
Permanently dead;
Streets of sapphire fer the jew;
Eel the weary, rest
Each, a%ccordin' to his view,
Thinks his heaven best.
An I'm puzzled, | admit,
Puzzled at the maze
Heaven, you kin fgger 1t
Forty-seven ways:
Heaven with a stree of gold;
With a jasper gate;
Heaven where the very old
Still must sit an wait.
If there are so many there.
There beyond the blue,
Heavens round an heavens square

Since they cant agree.
