Texas Farmer Enjoins Winner
 From Collecting A Farm

| DALLAS, Tex, Dec. 1.--E. w Lassiter wagered $6.000 with Lester Logan on the football game Thanksgiving be- tween Baylor and the Southern Meth odist university. Both men, instead of placing cash with the stakeholder, put up deeds to their farms, which were represented as each being worth 5000.
 Lassiter's team won, but he was prevented from collecting today when the district court granted a restrain ing order forbidding the county clerks to register the deed which Lassiter claims he won.
 Logan in his petition asking for the order, charged Lassiter's farm was worth only $2.000, instead of the l $6,000 he represented.

THE REVERE OF POOR SUSAN.

At the corner of Wood street, when daylight ap-
pears,
Hangs Thrush that sings loud, it has sung for
three years:
Poor Susan has passed by the spot, and has heard
In the silence Of morning the song of the Bird.
It's note of enchantment; what ails her? She
mountain ascending vision of trees;
Bright volumes Of vapor through Lothbury glide,
And river flows on through the vale of Cheap
side.
Green pastures she views in the midst of the dale,
Down which she so often has tripped with her pail
And a single small cottage, a nest like doves,
The one only dwelling earth that she loves.
She looks and her heart is in heaven; but they
fade,
The mist and the river the hill and the shade;
The stream will not flow, and the hill will not
rise,
And the eolors have all passed away from her
eyes

OUR DIRTY STREETS

Cities that aim to be attractive must
keep themselves clean; at least, outward
lv clean. There is no more attraction
in dirty, ill-kept city than there is in
an individual OF the same description.
During the last few days San Antonio
has been visited by drilling rains that
have converted the downtown streets
into streaks of muddy slop. Never have
we had more disagreeable streets than
during the last week. If anything has
been done during that time to make the
streets more comfortable to the feet or
more attractive to the eve nobody knows
OF it. The city administration seems to
have fallen down on the job.
If nothing else could be done, the city
might have a hose turned loose on some
of the principal downtown streets during
the night. Some of Our fire apparatus has
been used during the last week for ad-
vertising. 1t might also be used for
hygienic purposes.

bath. over which bath red lamp was
distinctly shown"
The physicians response was that
while he had lately been called to see
Lord L, the latter was only slight
" indisposed, and would be quite well
in a few days. Actually Lord L
was dead within a fortnight from in
flammation of the lungs.
And the death scene was as had
been dreamed by the Duchess of Ham
ilton. To quote DR.. Cooper's testi-
mony:
"The dream OF the duchess was ex-
actly represented. A male nurse was
standing over the earl, and the nurses
beard was red. There was the bath
with the red lamp over it. 1t is rather
rare to find a bath with red lamp
over it. and that brought the story to
my mind"
Chance will hardly explain a coin
cidence like this. But, then, what the
ory will, short of the theory that hui
man beings possess some faculty, op-
cradle only on rare occasions, for per-
ceiving future events as present ones?
Which suggests, of course, that every
individual human mind may be in con-
tact with, perhaps part of, an infinite
ly larger mind, a cosmic mind, so con-
stituted as to have perpetual aware
ness for all events, past, present, or
future. To this hypothesis, it may be
added, not a few brilliant thinkers
have inclined from the time that soc
cult" phenomena became the subject of
organized inquiry.
AS one such thinker, the psychologist
William Jpmns has Dut If.
IL find the notion Of some sort of
ANNA mundi thinking in all of us to
be a more promising hypothesis. in
spite of all its difficulties, than that
of lot of absolutely individual selves. =
To accept this cosmic mind theory
will, indeed, seem to many quite out of
the question. Yet what alternative do
we really have, granting the authenti-
city of the reported facts?

Dreams of Warning
By III. Addington Bruce.

Through a widely printed news dis
patch public attention has been called
to one of the most interesting and puz-
cling of all problems in psychical re-
search, the problem Of premonitory
dreams, or dreams that warn of future
events. Varied interpretations nave
been put, and will be put, on the IN
cident mentioned in this dispatch, which
told of the wreck in Georgia OF an
express train, the Dixie Flyer.
At the time of the wreck, early
morning. all of the passengers except
one were in their berths. That one
Miss Cassidy of Shelbyyille, Ky, was
sitting up fully dressed-and waiting
for the wreck.
She had awakened from a dream
wherein she Saw the flyer wrecked.
Rousing two travelling companions she
had tried to persuade them to dress.
They had Iaughingly advised her to
forget her dream and return to her
berth. This she would not do. And,
sure enough, the train was wrecked.
There is, obviously, the possibility
that the dream was but a chance CO.
incidence. The vision of an impending
wreck might quite naturally have been
suggested to Miss Cassidy by the fact
that she was on train, and that trains
are always susceptible of being wrecked.
This is the explanation that will most
strongly appeal to the minds of many.
But others more familiar with the
records of dream life will be less dis
posed to dismiss Miss Cassidy's ex-
perience thus lightly.
They will recall numerous we'll
authenticated instances of premonitory
dreams, so detailed in their picturing
that the theory of chance coincidence
is incredible. As, for example, the
Duchess of HamiIton's dream, wherein
was fore-imaged the death of noble
man known to the duchess only by
sight.
"Oh. DIR. Cooper" she told her
physician. Il have had a most extraor-
binary dream. l saw scene as If from
a play. The actors in it were Lord

beard. He was by the side of the

Watching the Parade
BY John Pilgrim.

If there is one thing that gets me
m re fused than another it is the man
who thinks he is more competent than a
kid OF twenty just because he is fifty
years old. Most Of the time he is more
competent, mind you, except at such
purely muscular diversions as swim
ming and handball. He should be. But
he is not more competent just because
he is fifty. Some one told a story Of
James Simpson, who recently became
president Of Marshall Field & Co.
II think change in the methods of
this department would be advantage
ous,' said Simpson, who was then 81
years old. He had made the suggestion
to the head of the department Until he
had tired. So he took the idea to Mr.
Field.
Lets talk to the department head"
said Mr.. Field.
The department head, being 30 years
old, looked down upon youth. If the
ideas had been advanced by some fossil
with pendulous dewlaps and rheumy
eyes it might have been considered. He
undertook TO make Mr.. Field see his
point of view.
"Do you think that a kid like this
knows more about my department than
/ do" he asked.
Yes" said Mr.. Field. Beginning
right now he is in charge"
The rest Of the story, so far as James
Simpson is concerned, writes itself. The
point is that there were the two men
and an idea. The value of that idea
wa not affected by the age or social
condition of the man who produced it,
If the head of the department had been
really bright he would have accepted it,
made it his own, and then Dragged about
it.
BY that mean: he would have retard-
ed the progress of James Simpson to-
ward the presidency by some years. He
might even have helped himself up the
ladder. That he was not bright is shown
by the fact that he thought first of
Jimmy Simpsons youth.

SENATORIAL OUTBURST

Senator Helm, of Alabama, became
greatly worked up during a debate in the
United States Senate, the other day, and
not only swung his arms wildly at Great
Britain, which was offering to remit near
ly five billions Of dollars to the United
States for money borrowed, but he also
defied Wall Street, the Moneyed Power
and the Subsidized Press. If the senator
overlooked anything in his defiance, it
is not recorded, except a minor thrust or
two at the Republican senator from New
York, who he intimated was one of the
slaves of the Money Trust, and there was
also some intimation about the Chief JUS
tice of the Supreme Court of the United
States, but the exact nature of this re-
mark was not entirely clear. In any
event, the Alabama senator had his say
about six or seven impediments to the
progress of Our great republic. Just why
he should assault our English debtor when
the latter was offering us real money
may seem strange and inappropriate at
that particular time, but force of habit
may have been the impelling cause. From
Thomas Jefferson down to Andrew Jack
son, and then down to Tyler and Polk,
Britain has been fair game on the hust-
ings, but Just at this time when we would
like to see a little hard money coming
in from Europe, the thing seems unrea-
sonable

, ing falling banana peels, sardine cans,
pickle forks, eggshells, bread crusts, po-
tato salad, and other picnic debris.
Weather forecast: Overcast most of
the day, clearing by late afternoon if
the sun is powerful enough to break
through the Fords.
Pedestrians will take q greater risk
than ever. 1t won't be raining rain"
drops; it'll be raining miscellaneous
parts. A man can hold out his hat ten
seconds in any street and get it full of
falling nuts, bolts, tenders, etc.
If the first robin gets north without
being run over a half-dozen times it
will be a miracle.
The Fordoplane will, of course, be
fool-proof. Just put the wife and chill
dren in the rear seat, hop into the pit,
step on the gas, and trust to luck. They
will all look very pretty grouped in the
top of a tree or wrapped about tele-
graph pole.
What if your flivverplane falls? You
can get a new set of wings for $3.50 and
start all over again. No Ford can fall
far enough or hard enough to put it out
of business.
And those who stay at home should
be careful not to open any windows.
The air will be packed with Flying
Fords, all looking for a place to light,
and they'll fly through the first opening
they see.
Trapshooters are very enthusiastic
over the idea. They see a great chance
to get their targets for nothing.
There's only one more step for Ford
to take; that's. to go into the chain hos
pital business.
The government is behind the Ford
airplane to the limit. 1t knows that
when all the Ford owners take to the
air it will have the largest flying force
in the world. Such fleet flying over
any hostile nation would rattle it into
submission.
