TILLMVN IN FINE SPIRITS. 1!.- Expects to be Friendly with Taft. Thinks well of .Mr. Durant. Columbia, March 12.?Senator Tlll man Is In the very best of humor. He looks well and is In fine Bpirit. He thinks that the country will have a period of peace and quiet under the Taft Administration. Senator Tlllman is disposed to think what are called tho "vested Interests" will work along with President Taft very well, and that President Taft will work along with the other side very well, and that there will be no periods of spasms. Senator Till man says that he Is no 'White House Democrat," and never expects to be so regarded, but he ex pects to be at least friendly with President Tatt. if the other side is willing. He said that he expected to eall on Mr. Taft before leaving Washington, but that there was such a terrific crowd of office-seekers in Washington and about the White House that he did not care to impose his visit, but as soon as he gets back to Washington he will call at the White House. in the course of his rambling re marks about (Mum and conditions the suggestion was made that possibly Dr. Cl'UlU might be sent as a minister to Liberia, as this Government is apparently taking some interest in that country. Senator Tlllman said that if the occasion arose and he were asked he would suggest the Rev. Rich ard Carrol, of Columbia, for that place, because he remarked that he regarded "Carrol as having more common sense than any negro mau he had ever seen." He does not ex peet, however, to he asked about the matter. Senator Tlllman asked what the people of Charleston thought of the possible appointment of Mr. Durant ns collector of the port of Charleston, lie B0< iii? to think well of the suggest ion, and said that he had had a most pleasant call from Mr. and Mrs. I)u rant, and was particulary complim entary in what he had lo say about Mrs. Durant. At the time of their call on him he had no idea of "what was in the air." As to the tariff. Senator Tlllman expects the leaders to fix up what they want and for it to be rushed through. Of course, he does not yet know what will be In the bill or what Ihe Democrats will or can do. Senator Tlllman Is still very en thusiastic about his European trip, and loves to go over many Incidents and pleasant Illings that happened to him and those with him. Senator Tlllman thinks that the three things (hat impressed him most while on the trip were: first, Gibraltar; sec ond, the monument to Bonaparte, and third, tlx- monument in London to Ceti Cord m. Senator Tlllman expects to spend a month at his home In Trenton, and will then return to Washington to do what work may be necessary. He feels stronger than be has In years and is ablo to touch the floor with Ills hands, without bending his, legs putting them Closely together ami standing perfectly upright, from the knees down.

South Caro lina, March 6th, 1909. 32-41 THOUGHTS IN DREAMS. Startling Hnpidity Which (he Mind Works in Sleep. A characteristic of dreams which, as the rather materilaistie Dr. Clarke says, "hints at a life that has neither beginning nor end and is bounded by no limits which human thoughts can compass" is the rapidity with which events happen in the dream world. Thus, when asleep and dreaming, we live an entire lite time in a minute; in a space of time that is scarcely more than a second WO pass through experiences that could not be duplb eated in this objective sphere in hours perhaps in years. Count Lavalette relates that one night, when Imprisoned and under sentence of death, he dreamed that he stood for live hours at a Paris street corner, where he witnessed a continuous succession of harrowing scenes of blood every one of which wrought his soul to the highest pitch of excitement. When he woke he found that he had been asleep less than two minutes. In a more recent experiment, made expressly to test the it nth of these theories, the subject was aroused from sleep by a few drops of water being sprinkled upon his forehead. It took but an instant to accomplish this result, and yet in that Incalcul ably brief space of time the mail dreamed of going on an excursion; of an accident by which he was plung ed into a lake, and during the long struggle to escape death that follow ed the experiences of his life seemed to flash before him, just as they are said to appear to a person who is actually drowning. Dreams are tricksters. Professor Titchener of Cornell University told with gusto o' his experience. As a specialis* , chology he interest ed hlmt ms. Like a true SOlenlb ?t about gathering data. '?? .v. to know what caused dreams, where they came from and what they meant, and all thai. He determined to watch himself when he slept and to wake himself at once when he found himself dreaming something of value. So. with a note book on a writing tnblo near his bed, he forced himself to wake for several nights and to write down, while Ihe dream impressions were vivid, his remembrances of the details ami by ; a study of the room, the bed and his physical condition to attempt lo ar rive at the possible cause of his dreams. He was getting on famously. One night he had a particularly vivid dream. In accordance with bis prac tice, he forced himself to awake and immediately write down clearly ev erything about it. then went hack to sleep again. The next morning he arose and was astonished to see that ills note book was blank. lie re membered positively the note he had set down thereon in the middle of the preceeding night. The iiexl night again be wrote down his notes after bis dreams, only to have the same uncanny sensation the UOXl morning he Unding nothing recorded The strange circumstances set Inn, to pondering. That eight he Im pressed Upon bis mind before drop ping off into slumber that he must awake with his first dream, or. if not. with that, with his second dream Subsequently Ibis strong ante-sleep ing command delivered to himself was present all through his dream consciousness. When the fiist seem' of a vivid dream came before his fancy he felt himself writing down the facts upon the pad at bis table It was then that from some source of Inner consciousness he foil the command again to awake, although he seemed at the time to be in full possession of bis normal faculties. His eyes opened, and the secret was out. He found himself lying in bed where be had been all that high I His rising after each dream had he come so much a routine he had dreamed that he bad risen ami had made the note and his dream was so clear that It seemed reality.
