ADVERTISEMENTS The Instant Summons “Instant, through copse and heath, arose Bonnets and spears and bended bows; As if the yawning hill to heaven A subterranean host had given.” The whistled summons of Roderick Dhu, the hero of Scott’s “Lady of the Lake,” caused his Highland warriors literally to spring from the earth. Ere the echo died away, from behind bush and rock emerged the loyal and ready clans- men. Inarmed silence they awaited their chieftain’s bidding and typified his might. Today the Commander-in-Chief of our nation’s armed forces and the resources behind them, can, by lifting the telephone receiver, One Policy One System instantaneously set in motion all the vast machinery of warfare, munitions, transportation and food conservation. Like the Scottish mountaineers, the American people must stand in loyal readiness to perform any service in furtherance of the nation’s high aim. Such a spint of co-operation . and sacrificing of individual interests can alone make certain the accomplishment of the great task to which our country is committed.

PAGE EIGHTEEN EER Mistur Editur:—In my last lettur I told you about the wild an’ reckless ride I had when Crafty took fright at a inocent lookin’ flivver an’ a inocenter lookin' couple o0’ farmers frum North Dakota. Well, after I got back to my roomin’ house, got the door shut an’ locked, the winders fastened down, the key-hole plugged an’ the transum closed I layed down on the bed an’ lafed an’ lafed an' lafed. Then I got up and opened the door gently to see ef I had atrackted enny attenshun an’ I haddent an’ so I went back an’ layed down on the bed an’ . lafed an’ lafed sum more. But one lafin’ spell wuzn't anuf so I took anuth- er spell the next day. An’ anuther one the next, and so on and so forth, az it wur, fur several daze, an’ I have lafed so much, Mr. Editur, that I am sore in the middle an’ hope you air the same. It wuz jist about a week after we fled from the ghost uv Happy ‘Holler that I wuz spendin’ the day one after- noon at Stratton park, out by the mouth-—in fack rite in the very teeth uv Cheyenne: canon. This is one uwv the most butifulist parks in this neck o’ the woods an’ I wuz enjoyin’ myself hugely, az it wur, walking’ along by the side uv tlie miniture lake watchin’ the gold fish'romp an’ play an’ kick up their aeels, as it wur, in the clear, sunkist water, so to speak. ABOUT THE NIGHTMARE THAT CRAFTY HAD Az I walked around the corner uv the lake, turned past a little clump uv bushes I kum sudden’ly an' onexpect- edly upon Mr. Crafty settin’ on a park seet, hiz hed hangin’ down, hiz ize shet an’ a ded seegar layin’ loosely between hiz fingers. He wuz dozen. I walked quietly up thru the soft grass, tutched him gently on the shoulder. No suner did I touch him than he wakened with a tremendous start an’ sot strait up with a jerk. Fear an’ horror sot huddled closely together on hiz face an’ hiz breth cum in nee pants, az it wur. ! “Hel-low thar; hel-low thar,” he ex- claimed, grabbin’ me by the han’. “My! I'm az glad to see you az ef I had got Crafty Tells About His Nightmares By L B. RIPP, ‘the RepOrter,, : chased me on foot thru thirteen staits, thru mudholes, - over. mountains an’ rocky ridges an’ across burnin’ deserts an’ finally hemmed me up in a narrow canon an’ cought me. I dreamed then that they blindfolded me, tied me be- hind a tin lizzie, hooked her up in high an’ led me to—to—to—I dunno where. Then thay showed me a hole in the ground that they sed wuz five thousand foot deep. They thay tied a peace uv bindin’ twine around my waste an’ started to let me down in that hole. I spoze I had got down about a thousand foot, an' the bindin’ twine wuz a-un- twistin' az fast az my body turned 'round an’ 'round an’ I wuz wunderin’ what wood happen to me when the dingfrzzeled thing broke—an’ jist then you slapped me on the shoulder, an’ thank Mohommet, I woke up before I fell.” CRAFTY USED TO BE VERY RELIGIOUS ‘While Crafty tole me this dream he wuz bizzy wipin’' the grate drops uv presperashun offen hiz face an’ hiz hands a-tremblen like aspen leaves in a breeze. I assured him of my sympa- thy an’ tole him I didn’t believe in dreams an’ that I didn’t think he shud worry about that. “Maybe not, maybe not,” he sed, slowly, seetin’ hizself an’ feelin’ fur a match to lite hiz ded seegar. I sot down beside him an’ filled my corn cob pipe an’ he helt the match over to lite it with. “Maybe not, maybe not,” he repeeted, still thinkin’ about the dreem. : “I don’t think ¥ believe in dreams, either, Mr. Hed,” he went on meditat- in’ly, “but I've bin’ havin’ a lot uv very disquiten’ dreems here uv late an’ sum times I think ‘thar must be sumthin’ to ’em.” : «“Maybe dreems iz the result uv wun’s thots,” I sed inocently. He gimme a quick glance outen the corner uv hiz I. I smoked on in ded silence. “You know I used to be very. re- ligious, when I wuz a boy,” he sed, reminicently. “My muther wuz a re- ligious womern—an’ the best womern that ever lived, Mr. Hed. I believe ef “—and then | lafed some more” a letter that my muther-in-law wuz ded,” -he koncluded, rizen to hiz feet and shakin’ my han' vigerously. I tole him I wuz sorry that I had desturbed hiz pleasant dreams an'— “Pleasant dreams Ll Pleasant dreams L!” he exclaimed. “I wuzzent havin’ no pleasant dreams. I wusz havin’. the most horribilist dream uv my hole life, Mr, Hed. I wuz dreamin’ that I had bin captured by a lot uv savage lookin’ creatures, in the shape uv men, but thay had each & bunch uvy whiskers on-hiz chin, thay wore overe halls, had hard an, notted hands, sun- burned faces, had hdyseed in their hair an’ wuz az mad az a flock uv settin’ hens after you had thorwed a pan uv dishwater on ‘em. ‘T dreemed that theze A creatures had thar ever wuz a real Christian womern she wuz wun. An’ she .used to tell me uv the butiful dreems that she used to have. She used to tell me that thar wuz a meanin’ to dreems an’ that ef peeple allus lived rite thay wood allus have pleasant dreems. That ef thay didn’'t do rite thay wood have bad dreems.” BAD DREAMS BOTHER . HIM AT NIGHT “Well, I think thar’s sumthin’ to that alrite,” I sed, sez I, keepin’ my I on him an’ watchin’ fur results. “Do you, really?™ he ast, konsurnedly. “‘I‘a.ssured him that I most shorely Then ¢t raned sHence fur about two minnits ax bard az I ever seed it rane
