An Established Theory.
There is a theory advanced by scientists that if you wh sper i i the ear of a sleeping man the impres- on of /our words will be conveyed to his minu u<> oy a dream. We recently 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 hotel 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 ft knife, and blindly rush forward for a fray ? He did arise from the bed. And he crawled under it. There can be no doubt that the theory is correct. — Boston Post.
