DOPE" the first step on the
Journey, Porto Rico came near be-
ing abandoned. He says:
As the island comes rather dl-
rectiy under the jurisdiction OF
Mr.. Weeks, the local officials be-
ban making extensive prepara-
tions to entertain him. The Score
tary of War and Secretary or the
Navy are the two members OF the
Cabinet who, in addition to the
President, boast of private flags.
The emblem, under strict IN
depreciation of the rules, should
be flown whenever the Secre-
tary is on an official visit. The
dismay of the Porto Rican COM
mittee, therefore, may be I'M
agined when it was discovered
that the island did not possess
single specimen Of the required
piece of bunting. News of the
deficiency was cabled to Wash
ington, but it was received too
late to catch a steamship fer
Porto Rico that would arrive
there before Mr.. Weeks.
Exactly what to do hung in the
balance for few hours, but the
knotty problem was solved finally
by the suggestion that Mr.. Weeks
bring along his own flag. He has
one that is displayed ordinarily in
his outer office, and today 1t was
removed and sent to the Grant in
New York. Provided that an in
tervaI of five or ten minutes
elapses after the Grant reaches
Porto Rico before Mr.. Weeks
steps ashore, the flag will be fly

JOHN-A-DREAMS
Dreams of Forged Money


 Forged money in the dreams of a woman means that she will lis- ten to the words of someone whose designs are not only insincere, but who is ruthless enough, and cares so little for her, that were his temporary satisfaction to lead her into misfortune, he would merely shrug his shoulders. Do not con found a dream of this sort with dreams of stage money, as these have an entirely different mean ing. to-wit,. harmless flirtationS which are understood to be insin- cere at the very outset and never lead to anything that might be re- gretted father. The visions l have reference to are of the most se- sious nature imaginable. They usually come to unmarried women who are, for some reason or other, dissatisfied with their home life, or to a girl who Is filled with spite because some little fault on part of the man she really cares most for, has put her in frame of mind where she is really willing to listen to anyone who has hon. eyed words for her.
 These dreams are warnings of the most urgent character. You will invariably find, upon careful investigation, that even though the man involved was sincere, he would not be able to make good his promise. This in itself should caution you, but unfortunately these dreams always come at q time when a woman Is in recep- tive mood. During such periods in her life, the smallest merit of every stranger will seem great and so will the smallest fault of the man upon whom her thoughts should be centered.
 Great unhappiness can grow from a disregard of this warning. and I urgently appeal to your common sense not to be misled by the tempters voice when kind fate has taken the trouble of telling you in advance. in your night slumbers. that 1t is not the voice of an earnest admirer, but the lure of the tempter that Is being whispered in your willing ears.

pothesis are studied and the known facts are carefully analysed, The student Is merely required to know what the theory, among other theories, Is, and is taught the reasons dedueed against the hypothesis As well as those brought in It's favor, If the aeCumula- tion of additional knowledge should cause scientists to lose confidence in the evolutionary hypothesis, they would at once reject 1t in favor of Rn- other more in conformity with the new knowledge. It Is this sort of scientific sincerity that has caused our progress along all lines. We cannot reject biological truths, nor can we refuse to permit the intelligent and mentally alert youth of our land to study and understand the material facts of life, life processes, biological progressions and all the other pertinent phenomena. There may be little difference between the human body of today and those of pre-C -Chaldean times, but who can deny the differences between cro-magnon, pithecanthropos, or other prehistoric anthropological reconstructions, and modern man? And as we have said before, evolution as applied to man kind is only a small fraction of the entire evolutionary conception.
