The cllinnx of his story rends thus: "The glorious day wan peeping and creeping through tho silent trees when I gathered up my bunch of beauties and started hoincwnrd. I had not go.iu far when I laid them In a clump of grass while I filled my pipe. When I started to pick them up , again In and behold they were gone. A slight ftlr under a nearby bush brought visions of some prow ling .tliluf und I threw myself probe upon tho bush and clutched for die plnco where the fish might bo. That is when I awoke and gathered myself up from the bedroom floor where I lay clutching a Jangling alarm clock." s Mr. (lonolln thus (ends the story: "The tragic and unbelievable part of my story Is yet to be told. The day after the Incident related I went to the pool concerning which I had dreamed and there I llslied precisely Is I fished In my d renin and I caught five beautiful bass precisely as I had caught them-in my dream and, lastly. I returned home with them, but not once did I lay them down in a clump of grass," Indianapolis News. CALL FOR A NATIONAL CRY A.

American audiences arc charged with being unresponsive and apathet ic, particularly in patriotic outdoor demonstrations. Americans are not Incapable of making loud, loyal noises, nnd not averse thereto. But rarely Is a parade staged In this city that does not move throughout a large part of Its course between silent' lines of spec tators. The result Is sometimes so depressing as largely to neutralize tho. desired effect of the pnrade. Tho will to cheer doubtless arises nil along the line, but there Is no short nnd easily exploded yell known to ns. "Hurrah," Is the traditional American word for cheer, but no man will ven ture Its use In public, unless In tho wake of a cheer leader who prefaces it with a "hip, hip, hip 1" Even then the usual response testifies that this method of cheering Is getting rusty. There Is no Inck of cheering on an Americnn football field, nor at any kind of a demonstration on a college campus. The reason for this Is that good, expressive, explosive yells hnvo been devised for outdoor use. And because they do explode,' and because- they stnnd for sometliing, tJie Ameri can public likes to use them. They also like to follow a good yell leader, America needs a nntlonnl yell. The man who can coin one will do the country a groat service. Minneapolis Journal.
