It has always been a mystery why the Mayflower landed at Plytnuuth, Instead of picking out some place where there was a good hotel with modern conveniences, It must have heen a cheerless sight which greeted the eye of the Pilgrim Father as he left the Mayflower and saw nothing ipresd out before him but a lurge, three-cornered rock totally lacking In vegetation of my kind except the sim ple, untutored red man and his feet It was in uninviting spot. Good table board wai scarce and the steam laun dry bad not shown up. Despite these drawbacks, which would dismay the stoutest heart In these days, the colonists who came over on the Mayflower did not fuller, After sitting around on Plymouth Earnest Efforts Wen Made to Con vert ths Red Man and Induce Him to Wtar Something Besides a Scalp lock. ' Rock for a few days, In order to re move tho seuslcliiiess from their legs, they went briskly to work and built a meeting house, where they could as Beiuble on Sunday and listen to 12,000 feet of sermon. Earnest efforts were made lo convert the red man and In duce him to wear something besides a sculp lock, but not much progress was made In this direction, owing to the tendency of tho red man Jo 1111 till visitor full of arrow heads before the subject was properly Introduced, The Mayflower was a small boat, es timated at about M per cent water tight, and when caught In the trough of the Ben refused to sit upright It took several weeks for the Puritans to reach Plymouth, and nt times they were out of sight ot luud.

For hi! part, he says, he lis never had any such experience but ad- mils that It has been borne wltnes to by many philosophers and other Inveatlgntors of drenra phenomena from Aristotle and Ryneslus down to the present day. In this connection It mny be remarked that the literature of dream science Is a large one and that the books written upon the sub ject by learned and distinguished men from Aristotle tbe famous Greek philosopher who died 322 yeurs before Christ end wai the first to attempt a selentlllc Investigation of the dream problem down to Frend and Hive lock, would fill a considerable library; Most of the scientists admit the fact of dreams within dreams and nearly everybody has hsd such an experi ence, even though Ilnvelock has not. llnvelock says that when In our dream we any to ourselves, ';i am dreaming,'' we are not asleep really but hove "emerged for t moment without real ising It, to the waking surface of .con sciousness." No one who has hnd such a dream will agree with him. Tho other scientists, admitting the dream within a dream, explain It In various learned psychological ways. ' As for our mystic he bothers him self not at all sbout psychology but declares that It la unlucky to dream that you are dreaming.

So If In some complicated or unpleasant dream your "dream thought" says: "It's all right anyway; I am only dreaming," look carefully after your alTalrs and keep watch of those who are In a position to deceive you.

DURING the period which Im mediately followed the Mexican war, a number ot words which were contractions or slight clmtiges of terms In com mon use south of the Rio Grande entered the United Slates vocabulary because of the Increased use of colloquial Span ish lu the southern part of this country. Among these words was "Jitney" a combination of two Mexican words meaning the low.est possible value, and first used by American gamblers In scornfully referring to the "small change" or "chicken feed" which the Mexicans Insist ed on Introducing Into the games of chance, The copper cent be ing rare In those days, the term, was gradually applied to the' United Slutos five-cent piece, and worked Its way North, where, among the street nrabs of New Tork a nickel has long been known as a "Jit," Just as a cent Is a "meg," a "dlmmo" Is' a dime and a "cutie" Is a quar ter. The advent of the private mo torbus which charged five cents for a ride helped materially to revive the term, the automobiles first being known as "Jitney blisses" and then the name was shortened to "Jitneys."
