He Went to Sleep, but----

RECENTLY a friend who had heard that I sometimes suffer from insomnia told me of | sure cure. “ Eat a pint of peanuts and drink two cr three glasses of milk before going to bed,” said he, “and 111 warrant you’ll be asleep within half an hour. I did as he Luggested, and *°r ffi o benefit of others who may be afflicted with insomnia I feel it my duty report what happened, so far as I am able to recall the details. (The report is from the Good Health Clinic.) t 11)6 Ba y m y friend was right. did go to sleep very soon after my retirement. Then a friend with his head ■under his arm came aloDg and asked me if I wanted to buy his feet. I was negotiating with him when the dragon on which I was riding slipped out of his me Anting in mid* air. "tile X was considering how I should get down, a bull with two heads peered over the edge of the wall and said he would haul me up if I would first climb up and rig a windlass for him. So as I was sliding down the mountain side the brakeman came in, and I asked him when the train would reach my station. P a ? se( f vour station 400 years j lO said, calmly folding the train up and slipping it into his vest pocket. At this juncture the clown bounded into the ring and pulled the centre pole i B' roun d, lifting the tent and all the people in it up, up, while I stood on the earth below watching myself go out of sight among the clouds above. , en f awoke and found X had been asleep about ten minutes.
