From the jackson (Mlch.l Patriot.
Not long ago Thos. L. Daniels, the
stenogrspher In this Circuit, had dream
in which the practical events Of every
day life were portrayed with vlvldness,
and afterward came TO pass. In his
dream he was about to go to Ann Arbor,
snd, looking at the clock, he saw it mark
ing 9, and rs he had about an hour to
spare he sat down to some work. In a
short time he looked up again, and saw
the hands in the same position as when
he looked before, the clock having
stopped. His watch indicated that it
was but ten minutes before train time,
and it was only by running that he
succeeded in reaching the train. He
awoke, went to sleep again, and again
his brain began TO lift the vail from the
future. Last spring he lost an overcoat,
and in this second dream Sheriff Web
ster told him that the coat was at the
jail, and that Deputy Smith was con-
nected with its loss. When he awoke
the next morning, he said to himself it
was only dream, and dismissed the
subject from his mind. The dreams
were recalled suddenly day or two
since by his clock stopping and his near
ly missing the train. All the incidents
were exactly as portrayed in his dream.
Sheriff Webster told nlm that Deputy
Smith had a coat at the Jail which he
found in the court room last spring and
subsequent investigation showed it to be
Daniels coat.
The dream in regard to train calls
TO mind az incident which happened
about three years ago to one of the ed
itors of the Lansing Republican. He
YVES visiting friends at Pottervllle,
where he remained over night. He was
exceedingly anxious to reach Lansing by
the morning train, which passed at an
early hour. His friends told him that
they would call him In time, and so he
rested contented. In the latter part OF
the night he dreamed that he was seated
At the breakfast table, and when the
meal was partly finished the train
whisLled on It's approach to the station.
he seized his overcoat, not even
taking time to put 1t on, and
ran with all speed for the de-
pot, but when within ten rods of the
building the train pulled out, and he was
lett. Vine he greeted his friends IN the
morning ne related his dream, and when
Lhey sat down To breakfast ne was as
sured that it was fully three-quarterS OF
An hour before the train would be aloI g.
The meal was partly over when ''tooL'
went the whistle OF the engine, and some
very good time was made on the road to
the depot, but 1t WAS not fast enough to
catch the train. The dream came to pass
in every particular, much to the disgust
of the dreamer.
a lady who resides on Townsend street
in this city, firmly believes that dreams
do come TO pass. A few weeks ago she
mad different IDEA. She is one OF those
methodlcal housekeepers VINO has place
Tor everything and everything In its
place. 1t may be well to remark that
there are no small children i'll the fam
lily. This lady keeps molasses jug and
that jug has always been in Its proper
place, with the exception OF now and
then trip to the grocery Tor new sup
DIV of sweetness. Several days ago the
molasses jug came up missing, and 1t ever
there wac n sOrrowtul face on u woman,
1t belonged to that lady. The value OF
tho mols SIS jug was nothing, but
TO lose it IN her own house,
where she could 90 In the dark and lind
anything she wsntei For nearly two
weeks, her waking hoars were troubled
in meditating on that jug, and finally she
dreamed OF it. She thought she went
down in the cellar and removed a large
tin can which for some time had stood
bottom side up on shelf, and under it
ne found her molasses jug. She arose
in the morning, recoliected her dream,
went down in the cellar, raised the tin
can, and there found the lost molssses
jug! She Is still puzzled to know how II

ton Of removing it from ITS usual place,
and her husband and grown-up son deny
any agency in the mysterious transfer.
