 ''Some folks don't believe in dreams, but I do," said one of group of men-about- town who were discussing subjects which treated on the superstitious and spiritual istic, and to the spirituous and superfne. "I had had dreams and dreams, of course, and had awakened from many glad they were not true, and from many others sor- " they were dreams. But that any dream, whatsoever might be it's nature, could have any significance beyond the mere fact that it was a dream, l never considered serious ly, except in the way of scoffing, until 6 month ago. Then, one night, I had a dream. I thought I was walking up Broad way, and suddenly something said to me: Say, you'll pick up oue-fifth of the money you have in yonr pockets before you SO two biocks'
 That was all there was to the dream, and never thought another thing about it until the next forenoon, right on the corn CT of Twenty ninth street and Broadway, saw bank note tnmbling along the side walk. picked il up. It was twenty dollar note. Suddenly the dream flashed across my mind. Tie twenty dollar note was just one fifth "f the money I had al ready had with me-
 "Well, of courre l was a little startled, but passed tn. matter by as one of the queer coincid-nces a fellow runs up against once in a while. A week after that I had another dream, and it was exactly the counterpart of the first one. So little inn pression had the sequence of the first one made on me that this second one passed from my mind and was not recalled to 1t N All II | & one dollar bank note. Then it occurred to me that had only s with me. I had found the one fifth of the money I had on my person, as the dream said l would, and I kicked myself for not putting all the money in my pockets could get hold of before leaving home. Of course, this re- petition of the dream made quite an i'm precision on one, and when, a week or so later, l had the same dream over again, l | didn't forget it next day and put all the | money in my pocket that 1 had, and was madder than a setting hen because I had | paid out the day before all the money had available, except S55-a $50 note and a S5 note. Now, maybe you won't believe it, but just as sit herr, right on the corner of Broadway and Twenty fourth street headed of a vagraut bank note as 1t was tumbling down the street before the wind. picked it up. I. was little. messly one-d"llar note.
 "'WellP said I, my dream was & triae of in its figures last night, certain. One dollar isn't the firth of S55, not by long shoa'
 "But I kept the dollar, and in the course of the day had occasion to shove out my $50 note to get it changed, and it was promptly showed back to me.
 'CounteIfeitr said the cashier. ''So my dream was right after all- I | really had but s in money on my person | when found the one-dollar note, and, of course, the find was the one-fifth of that You may we'll believe that I began to be shaken in my skepticsl opinion of dreams, and began to make a study of the subject. The other night had another dream. This dream told me that the next day would lose instead of find money Something said to me: You will lose on Broadway the amount of money you have found, and $150 more.'
 'I smiled when I started away next morning, for took just s5 with me, leay- ing all the rest of my money home.
