FARMERS DREAM TIP is TRUE
Waterfowl Is. d. Man Finds His
Long Lost Watch and Chain
.s by Chance.

Lisle Spencer, a well-known young
man of Watertown, S. D., has fre-
quently ridiculed the belief of some
that dreams are true" but re-
cent experience of his own has some-
what changed his mind. A few nights
ago he dreamed that a gold watch
and chain, which he had lost last fall
while hunting. had been found by a
certain farmer living four miles from
Watertown. The dream made SO
great an impression on his mind that
he decided to drive out to the farm
ers house and investigate. Notwith-
standing his dream, he was sur
prised when the farmer produced the
watch and chain, which were covered
with rust, and which the farmer had
discovered In one of his fields only q
week or two ago.

POLLY CAUSES TROUBLE.
HoIds q Passenger Ticket on French
Line steamer Until After the
ship Had sailed.

Had il not been for mischievous
poll parrot-so tits said-Miss Mary
Strotter would now be on the French
liner La Bretagne bound for Paris.
Primarily Miss Strotter's forgetfulness
was the cause of her tarry in Manhat-
tan, but at the finish the parrot
clinched the matter-and Miss Strotter
grieves.
Miss Strotter was prompt in reach-
ing the French line pier. She was there
fully an hour before sailing time. So
also were two trunks. her valise and
her steamer chair. Miss Strotter had
come from the west on Wednesday.
She had stopped at the Greenwich
Street hotel.
Itewas not until just 30 minutes be-
fore sailing time that she discovered
the one article indispensa BILE to the trip
was missing--her ticket. \ messenger
was passing. Miss Strotter hailed him
and sent him post haste for the ticket.
She told him just where it could be
found-on the top of her dressing table.
The hotel was only three blocks away.
When the man did not return in
IS minutes Miss Strotter grew anxious
and almost ran back to her hotel. She
met the returning messenger at the
door. The ticket could not be found.
She dashed by him TO her room and
searched every corner in it.
II was ten minutes to sailing time.
She was in despair. She had begun a
fresh search of the room, when she
heard a voice say:
You're fool; you're fool"
II was the voice of parrot that had
the range of the house at certain hours.
lie was perched on shelf. and under
one claw was the missing ticket. He
| flew away us She rushed at him, but
she got the ticket and ran back 10 the
pier. ...
La Bretagne was just backing into
the stream and Miss Strotter will have
to take passage on the next ship sailing.
