An Established Theory.

There is a theory advanced by scientists that if you whisper in the ear of a sleeping man the impression of your words wil lie conveyecHo Iris mind as by a dream. We recent y experimented with this theory and found it worked very satisfactorily. A noted Western scout who boasted of having slain 200 Indians was stopping at the where we reside. We entered his room and

whispered in his ear: “We are attacked by Indians! The red devils are upon us!” Did he spring up, grab for a knife and blindly rush forward for a fray ? He did rise from the bed. And he crawled under it. There can be no doubt that the theory is correct. — Boston Post.
