LSt. Louis Spe. New York Journal.l
81 wonder if dreams come true?"
asked Thomas Wheeler, of Terre Haute
Ind, of his father one morning at the
breakfast table about year ago
Wheeler dreamed that he was predes-
tined TO marry a girl living in St Louis
He saw her face in his dream. and he
was unable to forget it. At that time
the youth was learning the barber trade
IN Terre Haute, and was planning to
open a tonsorial establishment there.
His dream changed all his plans how
ever, and he spent most of his time con-
sultinS mediums and fortune tellers
to find out how much faith they placed
in his predestination theory.
Their explanations of his dream did
not agree and he placed faith in none
of them, but decided to follow his own
irclinatiOnS. and set out to find the
divinity of his dream Whenever
young Wheeler got enough money to-
gether to pay his railroad fare he
journed to St. Louis to search for the
girl of his dream. He made six visits
before he found her, and then his re-
ward came quite unexpectedly in a.
way that strengthened his belief in pre-
destination.
Wheeler was walking out Olive street
one afternoon, and when he reached
Thirteenth street he noticed a young
girl IN front of him. He became inter

ance. His eyes dWelt for a long time
on her beautiful gold brown hair, and
/ he saw that a hairpin was loose and
about to fall. Stepping forward he
called the young lady's attention to it.
and she turned to thank him
Then he saw the face that he was in
search of, and boldly told the girl all
about his dreln. She became interest

/ asked if he might walk home with hel
| she allowed him to do so. She told
Wheeler that her name was Alpha NJ
Heberer. and when she reached home
she asked him to meet her parents:
At the supper table Wheeler told hi:
story over again, and asked permissio.
to pay his attentions to the girl. The
girls father. Jacob Heberer, asked tn,
young man if he did not think he wa.
too young to get married, and he adde,
that it was the Interchangeable purpos'
of heaven that he should be married a.

Wheeler was only 10 years old, AM

Heberer refused to allow the marriag
to take place at that time, but promis
ed the swain that he would not refus
his consent if his daughter desired to b
married a year later. Wheeler then de
cided to stay in St. Louis, where h
could see his sweetheart every day.
Last Wednesday the year was VI
Both parents gave their consent an

COFFEE VS.. PREACHER.
"People Poisoned by Coffee Should
Leave It or"

81 have been a great coffee drinker
for years and it has kept me in a bilious
condition, with more or less neuralgia,
as the result of general ill-health pro-
duced by coffee drinking. I have dis
covered that coffee is a rank poison to
my system. Since we have been using
Postum Cereal Food Coffee, we not
only find it a delightful beverage, with
all the good qualities of coffee, but it
has none of the injurious effects.
Any person. suffering from nervous
troubles, caused by the poison of cof-
fee, should be able to get rid of the
sickness in short order if such a. one will
leave off the cause and take up Postum
Food Coffee. There has been no coffee
used in our home for a considerable
time.
People who are poisoned by coffee
should leave it off, because when one
sins against his body, he dishonors God,
for our bodies are the temples of the
Holy Ghost It would seem that any
one conscious of the bodily distress that
coffee brings, would have no trouble
in leaving it off when Postum Food Cof-
fee can be secured" Rev. John NJ Linn
pastor NJ. E. church. South Corpus
Christi, Texas.
