LAST NIGHT’S DREAMS

—WHAT THEY MEAN

(Copyright.)

DID YOU DREAM ABOUT DRINK? ING? NOW that booze has "gone glimmering through the dream of things that were’’ It la interesting to Investigate the alcoholic conditions in Dreamland, “Where there ain’t no Ten Commandments and a man can raise a thirst.” It is not too ranch to say that the situation there is .positively shocking, and the drys ought to get busy at once in the rfealm of shadows. Old booze-' fighters, now reduced to taking their tipple and consorting with their Inebriated associates in Dreamland only, may gather solace they can from the fact that oracles and soothsayers regard as of generally favorably omen dreams In which the late John Barleycorn conspicuously figures. And It may be laid down as a rule that If you take your “licker” in dreams alone it won't hurt you. In fact, it will have just the contrary effect to taking it over a real bar. To go into a Dreamland barroom —the only one now open —and there, seeing .old acquaintances, say “What’s your*s, boys?” Indicates, if everything is pleasant and convivial, that you will soon embark in some new speculation or busloess which will be

highly profitably? Should one of these dream-friends rtfuse to join you, declaring that he is on “the waterwagon” you will soon meet an old friend and have a long and pleasant chat with him. To dream that you are drunk and have accumulated your jag from Dreamland booze Indicates that riches and honors, now w’holly unforeseen, are to come to you; probably through making the acquaintance, of a man now unknown to you who will put you in the way of making your fortune. To the unmarried man it signifies that he is beloved by a woman of whom he has, as yet, scarcely thought, and that she will make an excellent wife. But to dream that you have tasted no liquor and yet are drunk is accounted a bad sign. You will soon cojnmlt some foolish action. , If you dream that you got drunk on water you are going to boast of your rich relations, and of wealth which you do not possess. Also, to see another man drunk means that you will do something foolish. It is but fair to the oracle and soothsayers to state that these dream interpretations were expounded years and years before the dry amendment to the Constitution was thought of.
