VISIONS WHILE I SLEEP. By Harry Rallston. 
In coming home from the club, my head was in a swim, It was almost bursting, for I had been filling in. My wife was sleeping soundly, so into bed I creptI'll tell you of the visions that came o'er me while I slept: 
Chorus. I thought I saw a policeman who would refuse a drink, I thought I saw a pretty girl who would not give a wink, I thought I saw a car conductor who would not knock a fare, I thought I saw a dude that was flying through the air, I thought that all the bank cashiers from Canada were back, I thought that sailors were fed something else besides hard-tack, I thought I saw Charley Mitchell learning how to light, I thought I saw Bob Ingersoll so gloriously tight, I thought I saw a ton of coal that weighed two thousand pounds, I thought I saw Sullivan and Kilrain fight two hundred rounds, I thought I Saw the North Pole found by General Washington, I thought I saw a laundry that on time would have your washing done . I thought I saw a minister practice what he preached, I thought I saw a workingman getting forty dollars a week, I thought I saw a married man who was not on the mash, I thought I saw a millionaire's son without a cent in cash. I would have kept on thinking, but I awoke in a swoon, My feet were out the window, and my head in a spittoon.
