An 0ArtificiaJ Dream

Dream Editor, The Times:-
 A dream is a dream I suppose, but this one that I enter in your contest Is what might be called an artificial one"
 Some time ago I went to the den- list to have a tooth extracted. The nurse gave me vitalized air and after a. few violent gasps and prayers, I slept.
 I thought that I was at the gate of St. Peter, when I tried to pass thru he barred the way with one arm and shook his head sadly. ''You must go below" said he, you know that we keep a record of every good deed done on the earth, my bookkeeper says that you have 999s to your credit and the required number is 10, ,00O." Just then I glanced above me and saw someone leaning from a balcony, decked wfSh flowers, this person laughed, and laughed ana mockingly pointed downward. In a rage I sprang to my feet and reached for the mocking face. At last in de- light I felt my hands clutch the neck of--the nurse. Poor nurse, I think her neck will never be the same Then the doctor said, "spit please" So endeth the dream.
 Now scientists please analyse this dream and relieve my doubtful mind as to what my chances are in the next world
 Yours in doubt,
 MISS LORA M. FREER,
 Long Hill, Conn.

A Realistic Drean,-

Dream Editor, The Times:-
 Here goes for a realistic dream or over a week ago. My home in the country Is closed for the Winter
 I dreamed that I. saw someone break into the house, carry away sev- era1 articles and damage the place generally, entrance being gained through a broken window. The next day about an hour after recounting the dream to a member of my fam fly, I received the sad news that my house had been entered. On inves- tigation it was learned that the things taken and the damage done and the entrance made were almost exactly the same as in the dream. Working on the idea that 1t might be the same person that committed the deed as seen in the dream, we secured around and succeeded ill experimenting and placing the same party in custody.
 What's the chances for first prize?

This Dream Caused Trouble.

Dreams Editor, The T1meS:-
 I felt myself being drawn down slowly last night, passing various clouds which grew blacker as my Journey continued. until l arrived at my destination, where I was put to work with shovel feeding fuel to an enormous furnace. opened the door applying more fuel, a blazing ember bounced out on my shovel, as 1 saZed it took the form of a small girl. She spoke: 'fI am a regular girl, my sister Is making her debut in society, so I stole away for while"
 She looked good to me and I was telling her so when I got a terrible punch in the ribs, and I heard some one eXclaim: Roll over and stop your talking. have been listening to you for the last half hour. I'll attend to you me bucko, in the morn ing"
 Say. I can't convince my wife 1t was 2 dream.

Dream Came True.

Dream Editor, The Times:-
 Last Wednesday week I dreamed of meeting a blind man and escorting him to his destination. In parting I handed him some change. At the same moment, I heard a party be- hind me say: "Who giveth to the poor, lendeth unto the Lord and He will repay Turning around, found myself facing a we'll known local minister who had been taking the situation all in, me being un- aware.
 Last Saturday evening, in the rear of the Y. M c. A., I noticed 8 man feeling his way with a cane and ask ed him where he wanted to go. He replied to the corner of the D. M. Read store and I escorted him there. I gave him twenty-five cents in change and went on my way.
 It was only on Sunday, when re- viewing the events of the past week, that I thought of my dream and how it had come true.

A Snake Story.

Dream Editor. The Times:
 Seeing you are printing all kinds of dreams, I thought I would send one of mine which I think as very strange. I dreamed I was invited to a party Of some kind and while on the way came to a forest. I entered and start ed to walk along a path that seemed to lead through the center. heard a peculiar noise behind me and look ing around beheld a very large white snake coming along directly after me. l hastened my steps and finally start ed to run. But the snake kept right along. I was quite exhausted and a1- most dead from fright when I saw a small brook, and thought if jumped over the snake could not fol- low. jumped out of bed and woKe the whole family. Was certainly glad it was only a dream.
 Hoping this will find favor in you1 paper, I remain

Prosperity Dream.

Dream Editor, The Times:
 My dream After with essing Ed die Cantor in Make It Snappy'' at the Majestic Theatre I was very much pleased with it and I thought what a credit those Poli theatres were to Bridgeport. After I got to s1eep I saw Main street of Bridgeport second to Broadway. We had a, Chamber of Commerce that was for Bridgeport all the time. and they let Henry Ford build a factory here. Everybody was prosperous; all the shops were work ing full time, and the soldiers got their bonus. The city was so pros eprous that the President came here to see and meet our wonderful Chamber of Commerce. I was with the reception party and after show tng the President all our factories working at top speed, we went to an aviation field at Seaside Park, took 2 ride in an aeroplane and when got up i'll the air fell out of bed.

dreamed the other night that I was at a friends house and she had twin babies that were very sick and want cd me to take care of them for her so l said I would. Well, I was there only short time when the woman had to go out so she told me before shc went if the babies should die while she was away there was a slab down in the cellar and for me to lay the babies down there on the slab, so she went out then.
 I went to the babies and I thought they looked so pitiful, their poor lit tie legs were so thin that I almost shed hears. Then I thought that they died and I did as the woman told me and when I laid them on the slab one of them came back to life. so J picked 1t up and held it close to my breast, thinking I could make 1t com fortable, and as l held it the woman came home.
 I told her all that had happened and the woman said: "Oh. why did you pick it up? Now you will have lots of trouble with it.' She told me it happened the same way with her one time and when she picked it up it lived tw enty-four hours
 And then I woke up, but instead of holding the baby in my arms I was holding tight on my husbands s arm. I was told that this dream meant sickness and it is true as both my mother and my husbands mother are very i'll and have not much chance for recovery.

 NEW YORK, Sept. 7.--Stock prices moved upward in rapid fashion in to- days market, confirming the belief that yesterdays reaction was largely a readjustment of a weakened techni- cal position.
 While the advances were spread over most of the list, they were more pro- nounced in a list of carefully-selected stocks, several or which broke through to new high prices for the year.
 Current news developments, indica. ting higher car loadings, increased sof coal production and possibility of separate peace agreements in the rail. road strike situation, all were favor able, but they appeared to have little direct influence on the market. Mexi. can oil shares were re-actionary on announcement that the Standard Oil company of New Jersey and aban donned development work in the south Mexican field, but they recovered all or most of their losses before the close.
 Domestic oils were in fairly good demand, gains of point or more be recorded by Sinclair, Phillips Petro leum, Houston and Standard Oils oi California and New Jersey.
 Norfolk and western, which attained new high price on net gain oi more than four points, was the out standing railroad stock.
 Total sales were approximately 900. 900 shares.

scenes were made in and near Boston and off the rocky Main coast, where three sailing vessels and a tug, char tered by Paramount, were employed.
 One scene of "Cappy Kicks" reveals boat propelled toward the treacher- ous rocks by heavy seas and high wind. A great risk was taken by the actors of this scene, as it was neces- sary to brave rough water and the pos sible danger of being stranded on the rocks.
 MT. Meighan and his crew learned something of navigation in 'Cappy Kicks" for in the storm scenes the star was obliged to pilot the tug which went to the rescue of the distressed vessel. Agnes Ayres is leading wom- an and heads strong supporting cast,

Greatest War Hero
 Works During Leave

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Sept. IT. Ser geant Samuel Woodfill, of Indiana, chosen by General Pershing as the greatest single hero of the world war, was at work today on the Ohio river government dam at Silver Grove, Ky, a short distance from Cincinnati. He is on leave for three months.
 My husband went to work on the dam today because he finds it neces- sary to raise the money to meet the payment on our home that will fall due on January l." Mrs. Woodfill said. "He could never do it on his ser geant's pay and the work at the dam opened a way for him."
 Sergeant Woodfill was assigned to carpentering work at the dam. His pay will be $6 day, which is just twice as much as he receives as ser geant in the United States army.
