Sweets Play Pleases
Geerge Sweets play A Messenger
By presented at the Elks theatre
last evening pleased a fair audience all
the performers being of a very clever
brand In fact the play deserved a
much better house than greeted them
Without a doubt the band and or
chestra carried by Sweet is the best
heard here this season barring none
and the orchestras rendition of Poet
and Peasant and the descriptive piece
A Day at the Circus won well merit
ed applause from the audience
Should Manager Sweet return next
season with as excellent a company and
musicians he can be assured of a better
house and a hearty welcome Sioux

A DREAM CAT
Repeated Appearance Premonitory of
Disease
Some years ago early in the sum
mer says H Addlngton Bruce in
Success Magazine 1 dreamed that
while out taking a walk 1 was sud
denly attacked by a huge cat which
clawed ferociously at my throat That
was all there was to the dream or at
any rate that was all I remembered
awakeuiug in the morning and natu
rally enough 1 dismissed it from my
mind as nothing but a dream
But when I found myself dreainiug
the same dream agaiu and again 1 be
gan to wonder what significance it
would possibly have Usually it varied
greatly in minor detail Always how
ever the climax was the same the
cat had me by the throat and was bit
ing and scratching viciously Alto
gether I dreamed this dream not less
than a score of times in six mouths
Shortly before Christmas 1 took a
cold which settled in my throat af
fecting it so badly as to require the
attention of a specialist Much to my
astonishment it was then discovered
that a growth had been developing for
some time and that an immediate oper
ation was necessary
Several weeks later the operation
having been performed successfully it
suddenly occurred to me that I was no
longer being troubled by the phantom
cat For the first time the meaning of
the singular dream dawned upon me
It had been a genuine premonitory
dream Consciously 1 had been in ut
ter ignorance of the dangerous growth
in my throat It had not progressed
far enough to give me any pain or even
to cause discomfort At the same time
the organic changes it involved had
produced sensations plainly felt by
what psychologists call the subcon
scious and manifesting through the
subcouscious to the couscious in the
form of a symbolic dream
No Port In a Storm
The most dangerous of all places
when a thunderstorm rages is proba
bly a powder house consequently it is
a rule in explosive works that all the
workers shall leave their house at
tne approach of a thunderstorm So
far all is well But very often when
the thunderstorm has passed and the
men return and open the cake presses
severe explosions have occurred The
reason of these accidents is that in the
process of manufacture black powder
is placed in the cake presses in alter
nate layers ot powder and ebonite
This acts as an electric pile just like
the pile iT coppers and disks of zinc
with which boys amuse themselves
When the pile is disturbed the elec
tricity sparks and up go building
workers and all London Answers
Kindness has converted more sin
ners than zeal eloquence or learning
