DREAMS OF TOMBsTONEs

We now come 10 subject which presents just a few difficulties-that of aombstones. For you see it must not be confounded with dreams Of cemeteries, graves or funerals, though in each of these three classes tombstones may figure. But are they the central, the dominating theme? For it is quite different matter whether you walk through a cemetery filled with tombstones and are afraid, or see an apparition, or have some other funeral dream adventure, or whether you are in q cemetery and are attracted mainly by the tombstones. I am quite sure that I may rely upon your good judgment In discriminating between these various kinds of dream visions. Still, if you are in doubt, ] shall always be ready to explain If you will write. The subject is so important that I will have to use two chapters in it's discussion.
 The sight of tombstone, or of many tombstones. in a general way means "Reminiscences of the Past.' So diversified are the meanings of such dreams that I must resort to a list; thing I do not like to do. Yet you will easily understand from the following why it is necessary:
 Tombstone of father-You will dis cover that an amount of money, due your father, can be obtained by you
 Tombstone of mother-Something you have done, or are about to do is disturbing her rest.
 Tombstone of dead husband-A warning against your contemplated second marriage.
 Tombstone of dead child-You will

the ground softened and partly con- cealed by the judicious grouping of evergreens, barberry bushes, rhodo- dendrons. or other shrubs which keep their beauty through the win ter months. Many houses have a bleak appearance during the snowy season which would have both a homelike and an artistic aspect If they had their feet set in warm green winter overshoes!
 Now Is the time to give the cot tage the once-over and decide what it needs. Notice places that have an empty, neglected look, such as the corners of the building, the angles at either side of the veranda, the spaces beneath the windows. Find out whether, you have too much planting in one place and too little in another. Then make rough sketch of the house, showing the way it would look with more shrub bery, and decide what arrangements

MAGIC OMELET

Borrow a hat, then produce four eggs. Break these in. the hat. place the hat for a short stime over the flame of a candle. and immediately afterwards produce an omelet cooked and quite hot.
 Some persons will believe that by the aid of certain ingredients you have been enabled to cook the omelet without fire. but the real secret is this: The omelet has been previously cookd and placed in the hat, but was not visible to the audience, due to the fact that the performer held the ha too high fof the spectators to see the inside.
 The eggs were empty ones, the contents having been previously blown out. but to prevent suspicion, a real egg should, as if by accident, be let fall and break on the table. With care and professional batter this trick can be made most sur prising.

The Flatterer Often
 Eligible
By BETTY VINCENT

Every girl likes him-the Flat cause he always says such charming things about her. And while he may enlarge and even add certain graces to her personality. there is always a grain of truth behind his flattery
 But how shall she take this young man?
 That is the question which bothers the girl.
 Does he mean what he says or Is he just stringing her along because he thinks she wants him to say all these nice things about her?
 It all depends.
 Flatterers, like egotists. run in pairs. There are jolly, good flatter CTS and jolly, foolish ones. There is a certain type of young man who really means all he says. When he tells his girl she has the most beau tful eyes in the world and the sweetest smile of any girl he ever met he means it. And because he says this with certain amount of sincerity the keen girl knows he really cares for her.
 But the foolish flatterer who pops
 
 compliments which have been hand ed down from father to son always expects a kiss or an extra dance for his lip praises. Back of all this flat tery there is always a reason. And it is up to the girl to find out why this young man flatters her so and decide whether his remarks are real ly worth while listening to.
 As far as the matrimonial market is concerned, the flatterer Is eligible when he Is sincere. Many men use flattery as their winning bait. That is their idea of making love. They reason that before you propose to a girl you must let her know how much you think of her. Perfectly logical, isn't it? Therefore the young man tells this girl of his choice that he admires her soft voice. He tells her that he always liked girl with jet black hair and that he admires the tilt of her nose and so on and so on until the night of the pro- posal
 But remember. this mans flattery always rings true! He doesn't ask to be kissed or expect an invitation to Sunday night tea the moment he has made a flattering remark. He tells you these interesting and pleas ant things about yourself because he really seems to believe them himself.
 But there is another type of flat terer who is not in the m. m. (matri- monial marke) and has no intention of venturing in that direction. He is the well-known confirmed bache- lor." There isn't a sour on earth who knows as much about flattery as this natural born bachelor. He may be twenty-nine or fat, forty and bald But he always has the gift of saying pretty things" and running.
 But he usually makes a point of gaining a kiss or some special dance before he runs! And that is how the clever girl can always spot the fur tive flatterer. His flattery does not ring true. The more he flatters the further away they are from a pro- posal or even a platonic friendship. He tells her the same lovely things over and over until they cease to thrill her and she realizes they are floating about In a circle.
 Flattery is by no means a thing to avoid in young men. It is one of the old pillars of love making, leading directly to the little church around the corner from your home. But be sure it is sincere flattery coming di- rectly from the heart of the young man.

would look best. If you wait until summer, the house will look so diff ferent with the trees and flowers around it. that you will be unable to tell what you want for next winter. The best time to put in these new shrubs is next August or September, but by that time you may have en- tirely forgotten the effect you wish to achieve.
 Better consult nurseryman for the shrubs you will wish to plant, unless you have been noticing the planting around other homes and know just what to order. Blue spruce, some of the dwarf pines, lau- rel and the barberry bushes will be decorative both winter and summer. Beware of the feathery hemlock, which may so easily be transplanted from the woods, for it will grow too tall when planted near the house.

GRANT EDITOR TO HELP KEEP ~
MARRIAGE INTENTIONS SECRET

The decided slump in the marriage
business in Perkins county, Nebraska
has ceased to be a joke with the
editor of the Grant Tribune and he
publicly promises those of his county
who had martial ambitions that hence
forth he will not keep his eye peeled
for the ten-days notice which appli-
cants for license must post in the
county judges office, nor will he in
any other way give their secret any
publicity, il they will only stay at
home and be welded.
This might help some TO keep their
lovelorn couples at home, but We
suggest that they furnish greater
inducement by offering. them a farm
or some other inducement or pre-
mium to get 'hitched" in Grant. On
the other hand that might start an
epidemic of poligamy. We are prone
to believe that they will be forced
to take legislative action to again
have their marriages performed at
home.

COUNTING THE COSTS

In several Nebraska counties farm
ers who have been keeping enter
prise cost records on corn and oats
are planning for a meeting this win
ter at which, with the assistance OF
a farm accounting specialist from
the University of Nebraska agricul.
tural college, they will summarize
their records and compare costs. In
one of these counties. Saunders, four
teen oats labor records are known
to be complete and a number Of corn
records will soon be finished. When
We look about us in the business
world We find that all large business
enterprises make cost studies TO de-
wise means of lowering their cost OF
operation, even though the amount
saved may seem small II is not the
gross income that tells the whole
story but rather the constant accum-
ulation OF small savings carefully

years. Many farmers are now main
