No Special Poses "I have no poses for babies. I watch them. They are asleep most of the time and I can only observe them for short periods at a time. I usually take about three days to paint an infant. I am interested in i babies and I study them.

Wm. S. Middleton Attaches Little Importance to the Phenomenon; Recognizes Companions RECTORY IS NOW ON SITE An Interesting phenomenon to. those who concern themselves in an amateur or scientific way with the analysis of dreams was recounted to day by William S. Middleton, Harrisburg lawyer.

At regular intervals of approximately two weeks Middleton dreams about the heme where he lived fpr eight years xwhen he was a small boy, between 6 and 14. The house, which was at 114 State street, always brought plearant memories to him as it was ideally situated for a small child with a large expanse of lawn for a city there in one of the three houses peopled with persons whom Middle Charged with assaulting Elizabeth ton knew only years after he left Owens, 803 East street, January 25, and knocking out two of her teeth, Samuel Tucker, 627 Boas street, will plead guilty to morrow in the Dauphin county court, Oistrict Attorney Fox announced.

While the dreams are often that home this anachronism does net seem unusual and Middleton says that he always seems to be perfectly at home. At other times the persons who appear in the dreams are members of his family, some now no longer living. He himself appears at times to be his present age and at other times the boy who really lived there more than twenty years ago.

No Superstitions Middleton, who is 36 vears, old and a of attorney without superstitions, attaches no significance to the recurrence of these dreams, and only happened to mention the dreams off handedly when ar acquaintance brought to his mind his c'd home on State street during their conversation.
