THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA. The Interpretation g g of a Dream, g By Kennctt F. Harris. g (CoprlititB1 br lialljr Rtury Tub. t o.) O 0000000000000000000000O0 IH the huhmh'o of Interpretation of droning it in a thing, pcnernlly nu eopted ns positive nnd incontroverti ble tlint the dreamer who reuelirs t he termination of a lienillonp; m-riiil flight from tlie nniniit of u dizzy preHplco or a remote planet die on that inHtnnt Jimt ns he wonld if the prreipleo or planet wns what the viil ptir call renl, meaning material. There ts no need of inquiring' too curiously how this mortuary conclusion wns ar rived at in the first place, because Hie ordinary mcthodH of reasoning fail when applied to certain investiga tions. The fact is sometimes discov tred ly methods psychical rather than loglcul anybody knows that. Anybody knows, too, that one in variably wakes up niidfliglit, alive and In a cold perspiration, nnd, tills be ing1 the case, it is not even illogical to suppose that, if lie bit the bot tom, perspiration nnd animation tvotittl alike cease and determine ever lastingly. Then there is 1 lie well authenticated ense of Mr. Kdward I.a Motto, which, ns an exception, ought to prove the general rule. Mr. La Motte hit the bottom. lie hit it linrd. according to the story Hint he told his friends some time fter. This may be accounted for by the fact tlint he woke up on the floor in a tnngle of bedclothes nt the foot of the bed. Hut it does not have to be nccounted for. He did not wake up until nfter he lit, nnd he did not flic on the instant. How many sto ries thnt Hnliel tower elevator took him up he does not attempt to re sail. He went up, up, up swift as the rocket's flight, until the half naked children of men toiling with their rotten bricks and slime on Shinar's plain below were shifting specks in his strnining eyes. From niches in the mnsslve circular masonry weird faces showed themselves glaring nt tiim tvith hopeless, terror-inspiring eyes. Fingers, upon which blood mixed horribly with caking yellow ooze, beckoned to him or were shaken at him furiously nnd threateningly. "You've passed my floor," said Mr. La Motte to the elevator mnn. But the elevator man, probably un derstanding nothing but nrchnie He brew, only turned his pale olive fnce towards him and moved the lever to accelerate the speed of the flying prison. He was n peculiarly taciturn aort of chap, this elevator num. al together lean ns famine, so tall that Mr. La Motte had to throw his head well bnck to see his face, nnd with awful, mysterious eyes. His uniform wns a wnistcloth embroidered with green snnkes that writhed about the fabric, and now and then escaped, from it, fnlling to the floor of the ele ato and then vanishing with a loud liiss. "I wish you would stop," implored Mr. Ln Motte. "I'm not feeling well. The soft-shell crnbs I nte for supper last night must hnve disngreed with me." Tlint wns an absurd thing to sny, because Mr. La Motte knew perfectly well thnt four centuries had elapsed since he walked into the rotunda of the tower. Hut the elevator contin ued to shoot upward, and the grisly, spectral faces and the waving arms and hands became thicker than ever, until at Inst they cleared the sum mit of the tower nnd soared through the cool night air toward the stars. And now the genii of the upper air, gigantic and in terrible shapes, rame rushing furiously nt them, bran dish In ir luminous swords that wa vered and quivered like the winter lights in the northern heavens, but as they struck the cage they became mere clouds of mist nnd drifted nwny on the wind, moaning with disap pointment or howling with baffled rage. It was particularly trying to the nerves, nnd the next time Mr. La Motte tried to speak he found that Ms tongue was cleaving tightly to the roof of his mouth. ilien suddenly something like a guitar string snapped in Mr. La Motte's head and the elevator man uttered a wild cry of alarm and tried to jam his lever over. Hut it was too late; the elevator was already falling with terrible velocity, and in another instant it crashed on the floor of the rotunda. The woodwork broke like eggshells, the mirrors shiv ered nnd the ironwork twisted ns if It had been so much putty. Tons of steel cable fell on the ruin, and the shrieks of the injured and the groans of the dying rang and echoed through the hnli. It was some time before Mr. La Motte extricated himself nnd found out where he wns. The next morning Mr. La Motte started for his office on the four teenth floor of the Pundomlc build ing, just as he had done with the ut most regularity for the past ten years. He wns pressed for time, hav ing quite a little business to trans act in time to get away and keep nn appointment, and his mind was busy with a method of work, so that he hurried down the hall almost uncon sciously and paused at the door of the elevator, waiting for the crowd before him to get in. Then In a flash hit dream recurred to him nnd he Btepped back. "Plenty of room, sir," said the ele vutor man. ' Mr. La Motte glanced at him bharply and then shook his head. It was a new man who spoke, and he had large dark eyes and a pule olive skin thut stretched tightly across prominent cheek boues. It hm Um fnce of the dream, or something very close to It. For an Instant Mr. Ln Motte struggled with a wild Impulse to en treat nil the passengers to come out Jf Hint elevator, but he wns naturally timid mnn, nnd while lie hes';tntcil the conductor clacked his slgn.il and the car shot upward. Mr. La Motte shuddered and walked out tf the building. In n few moments, how ever, the desire to return been me ir resistible. He returned, but the ghastly cntnstrophe that be nntlcl pntcd had not occurred. The ele vators were running up nnd down with their accustomed regularity, and the candy, gum nnd cigar vender wns perfectly cnlm nnd unruffled. IS evert helefis Mr. Ln Motte did not go up in the elevator, lie walked up. toiling flig-lit nfter flight of the weary steps until the fourteenth floor wns reached. Then he stretched himself out in his chair and staved there for the rest of the day, walking down the Htnircnscs ngnln nt night. And from thnt time forward Mr. La Motte walked. He dreaded to so much ns look over towards the elevators nnd the clang of their gates sent cold chills nursing up ond down his spine. The dreadful vision of shattered wood work, crumpled Iron, tnnglcd coils of steel nnd mangled humanity was nl wnys before. his eyes with n vividness tlint startled him nnd n persistence that made him feel hopeless. Natural ly people soon noticed his disinclina tion to enter nn elevator, and lie ex plnlned It by telling them of n strange vertigo to which lie was Milijret and on the first of May he moved Ills office to the third floor. He found that it was not nt all n hnrd matter to Induce nil il millions business connections to call and see him Instead of going to see them, and if there were nny excep tions he climbed nnd called it exer fise. Hut who enn resist or but vainly hope to avert his fate! That which has been, has been; thnt which is. Is; no less incvltnlily, Inexorably flint which shnll lie, shall be, flutter and struggle in the hand of Destiny ns we may. About a year after the dream it may have been the anniversary of the dream as Mr. La Motte alighted from "PLENTY OP ROOM, Slit." the street ear nmost at the door of he I'andomic, and his foot slipping on a greasy cobblestone, he twisted his ankles very badly. Steadying himself with his um brella, he hobbled into the building, and there t he pain began to catch him. and' he gritted his teeth and said things, nnd finally with the reckless ness of agony entered the elevator and said: "Third floor!" The olive-skinned, slant-eyed man was in charge, of course. He grinned as Mr. La Motte got in, and then ab rubtly slammed the door and moved over his lever. "You've passed my floor," groaned the doomed mnn, clinging to the hit tice of the cage with one hand ond wiping the perspiration from his white forehead with the other. The elevator man took no notice. "Excuse me," said n very sweet voice nt Mr. La Mott's elbow. "You seem to be in pain. Perhaps I enn help you." He turned nnd saw n face that was as sweet ns the voice not a strikingly beautiful face, but graciously nminble and most womanly compassionate, She was perhaps 25 years of age. "Top floor!" said the elevator man. "I'll go down again," said the young woman. You have taken tins gentle man past his floor. What is your floor, sir?" "Three three seventeen, groaned Mr. Ln Motte. "You nre most kind, nnd if vou could help me to my office I shall Oh-o-oh! No, please don't go down with me get out here and walk down." "Go down quickly, please," said the young woman to the elevator man, tak ing Mr. La Motte s arm. I think he s going to faint." Down went the cage and stopped gently and easily at the third floor ami Mr. Ln Motte got out and hobbled into his office, assisted by the young worn an, who seemed to have tnken complete charge of him. Presently, after she had deftly tnken off the Injured man's shoe and had put a cold water com press on his foot, she explained thnt she was a trained nurse, and the end of It all was that Mr. Ln Motte In course of time persuaded her to marry him. And they lived quite happily together, nnd Mr. La Motte Is altogether lndir ferent to the danges of elevator rid' Ing now. He Is still of the opinion, however, thnt the dream was something more than a cerebral disturbance In soft shelled erubs. It wns, he soys, a vision f rough t with destiny, as Indeed nil dreams that amount to anything are. The only thing I that we cannot al ways Interpret them rightly, which Is, perhaps, just ns well.

Many of the farmers of this section of the state are planting corn for the purpose of fodder. This step has been made necessary by the almost general failure of the timothy crop and of the poor crop of clover hay. Little, if any, of the timothy of this vicinity is worth cutting, being very short and filled with weeds. The first crop of clover is also poor, being about one fourth of the amount ordinarily se cured. The corn for fodder is being sowed thickly and will be cut before it goes into tassel. This makes a very desir able feed for the horses and cattle and many farmers will use it almost entire ly throughout tlie coming year. What hay they do raise will be put on the market and promises at present to bring good prices. Many farmers are having consider able trouble with pasture at present, although the rains of the last week have done much good. Sale of Dynamite Fire Crackers Prohibited A law passed at the last legislature prohibits the manufacture and sale of dynamite fire crackers. It reads as follows: That from and after the pass age of this act, any person or persons manufacturing or selling fire-crackers containing dynamite, chlorate of potash, or any explosive except that containing ordinary gunpowder com posed of saltpeter, sulphur and char coal, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be sentenced to pay a fine of not less than fifty dollars and not more than $ioo, or by imprisonment for a terra not less than six months and not more than one year, or both, at the discre tion of the court. No Booze This Tear, National Guard Men Will Also be Restricted In Drinking ''Soft" Beverages. For the purpose of preserving the health of the officers and men daring the division encampment of the Na tional Guard at Gettysburg, on July ia to 19, the indiscriminate use of distilled or fermented liquors is pro hibited. Officers are also directed to discountenance the use of non alcoholic or "soft" drinkf, and the bringing into camp of various articles of food and drink, on account of its tendency to produce digestive dis turbances, always the ailments to which encamped troops are most sub ject. Colonel Shoemaker directs that tents be thoroughly cleaned every day and that the surgeons should in spect the tents daily, and order the tents of all officers and men to be opened up in the early morning, and the flaps turned up tor free ventila tion. All bed clothing must be ex. posed to the air and sunlight for several hours. ? '. VV f BmilHHHllUIUtlilimi ' 0. W.GAIL 4 AX 1 K aiU.TIMOf.MV, jg MKlllllllllllllll BEET SUGAR GROWTH. Pennsylvania Ground is Capable ol Producing Some Excellent Results. Secretary of Agriculture Hamilton and other officials of the state depart ment of agriculture are pleased with the results of the experiments in Penn sylvania sugar beets made by Botan ist William Frear and W. T. Carter, of the Pennsylvania agricultural ex periment station. Th; results show the composition of thirty-one lots of beets grown in Elk county during the season of 1901. The weather was less favorable than usual in northern Pennsylvania to the yield of beets, but favored a high sugar percentage. In no case did the percentage tall below the manu facturing, limit, the average amount in the cleaned, decrowned beet being sixteen per cent. The purity of the juice is shown by chemical analysis to be exceptionally high, no sample being useless from too low purity. The average coeffi cient of purity is 83.8. Inequalities of stand and small size of the beets grown caused the yield to fall below the limit of profit in eleven out of twenty-nine cases. In seven cases a yield of nineteen tons or more is re ported. The average yield of topped beets obtained from the twenty-one crops weighed is 13. 52 tons. The results, together with those of earlier years, Dr. Frear says, clearly indicate that the climate and soil of Elk county, and probably of a large portion of northern Pennsylvania, are fitted for sugar beet culture.
