THE MAYFLOWER
YKAR8 ago the good ship Mny

of Puritan fnthers and mother on
lymouth ItiH-k ind also discharged a
large qumtlty of Irnn-bound, rock-bal
lasted conscience which wai not l-
lowed to play outside tbe yard it
home.
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. We would
like to ask how ninny people today
think enough of tliulr conscience to
undertake a trip like that, If they
were able to locale It In the first
place?

-What They Mean
DID YOU DREAM THAT YOU WERE
DREAMING!
H
AVELOCK ELLIS doe not be.
dream that you are dreaming Is pos
sible. 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. For It mean
that somebody Is going to deceive you
ml rlteiit von out nf nionev or valu
ables. 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. Journeys, unless absolutely nec
essary, are not recommended after
such a dream, Hut Id special warn
ing Is to be on the alert tor cheats,

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"JITNEY."
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."
