Young man would not wait for the cars,
but insisted on starting at once on foot.
SnstrDng was GarrisOn's impulse to 60

not wait to get home. but & hiding COM
pany Tor his wife among the neighbors
returning from church, he left her on
the road aud started at 1890 O'Clock
tor Christian county, distance Of if-
teen miles. All the way from Fordland
to the old homestead young Garrison
says he felt the strange impulse hurry
ing him on. H. could not understand
the mysterious motive that guided his
footsteps back to the old homestead,
but the eagerness to see his mother
never abated. It continued the one
absorbing thought from 10 O'Clock till 8
thenext morning, whel the son reached
his mothers house. Knocking at the
door he received from wlthinn no response
and this increased young Garrison
alarm. as his mother had always been
very easily awakened. Unable to get
the door open from within, the excited
and trembling son cut the latch string
with his knife and entered the dark
room. He called his mother, and still
no response came Then lighting the
lamp the young man went to his mo
theirs bed and found her lifeless body
lying wrapped with the covering and
a peaceful expression of the features
indicating that she had died without a
struggle. Mrs. Garrison had apparently
been dead but a short time when her
son arrived.
These are the bare facts of the slngu-
lar occurrence, and thew certainly con-
stitute a very intricate problem for
psychological study. Young Garrison
is strong, healthy, robust man, hav;-
ing no nervous tendencies of character
that might account for his strange con-
duct on the theory of a rare coincidence.

A STRANGE PRESENTMENT.
A Singular Impulse Which Proved to be q
ForeWarIing of Death.

EOreWarIlng OF Death.
T.B. Garrison, of Fordland, Mo-, who
walked fifteen miles one night recently
to see his mother and found her dead IN
bed at 3 o'clock next morning, tells a
most remarkable story of presentment
which led the son to make the strange
trip to the old homestead alone and in
the darkness.
Young Garrison was born and raised
four miles east Of Ozark, where his
mother died. About three months ago,
SAYS st. Louis Globe correspondent,
he moved to Fordland, where hesecurrd
employment as miller. He had heard
nothing from his mother for some time,
and could have known nothing Of beI
illness, for at the time the young man
left Fordland Friday. Mrs. Garrison was
in her usual health at home lacking
carpetrrags. The woman had been we'll
all day Friday, aud returned home late
in the evening from a neighbor's house,
where she had assisted in dressing the
BODY Of an old friend for burial. On
Friday night Young Garrison went to
church sc. Portland. accompanied by
his vito. The services closed at 10
O'Clock, and Garrison started home
wish his wife. AS they left the church
the young man said . strange feeling
