DREAMS COME TRUE.
SOME POPULAR SUPERSTITIONS
BELIEVED AMONG SPORT
ING MEN.

The gambler, waiting on
the corner to get a car home,
yawned, for it was so early
that the morning was still
pink, and the gambler had
been sitting up all night.
There are many we'll
known superstitions con
nected with poker, " he said.
II am acquainted with hall
"a dozen cases where in this
game, dreams, have come
true. Jessie James, the out
law, dreamed one night that
he held on the deal a pair of
trays, discarded three and
won heavily on an ace full.
He was playing a few weeks
later, and on his first hand,
the pair of trays coming, he
recalled his dream and WhiS-
pered it to the man next him.
Then he began to whoop
things up, and on that hand
he came out 81, 800 to the
GOOD. for his dream. Won
see. came true in every de-
tail.
"E. Berry Wall. the New
Yorker, was told by a palm
mist that he ought to play
the races, betting OH horses
whose names were those Of
colors. He looked the pa
pers over that night, and
Scarlet was the only colored
nag entered for the next
day. Scarlet was a 60-to-1
shot, and Berry Wall laid
S150 on him. Wall drove
away from the track that
night with 50 600 tucked IN
his clothes.
POLICY goes by dreams
and superstitions altogether.
My servant girl dreamed
she had a gold tooth last
month, and the next morn
ing she put a weeks wages
OH the gold row fiat, and
won $500.
''Thes are al. authenticat-
ed cases" said the gambler,
"and | can vouch for them. "

REMEMBERS HIS HOSTESS
PHILADELPHIA North American

Philadelphia North American
King Edwards has given
graceful evidence of having
a retentive memory in social
matters and a delicate appre-
citation of pleasant acouain-
tance. BY his personal IN
vitation one of the guests of
honor at the coronation will
be Mrs. Harriet Lane John
son, niece of President
Buchanan, who was mistress
of the White House during
her uncle's term as Chief
Magistrate.
1t was II years ago that
King Edward met Mrs.
Johnson. As Prince of
Wales he was entertained
during his tour of the United
States, at the White House.
and always recalled with
hearty pleasure the unaffect-
ed hospitality with which he
was received. As mistress
of the establishment, Mrs.
Johnson was officially as
socially the Princes hostess,
and during his brief STAY
they formed a most pleasant
friendship.
Opportunity has now come
to the young Prince of that
day to return in a notable
manner the entertainment
he received, and the Presi-
dents niece, who was the
Princes hostess, Will be the
Kings guest.
Mrs. Johnson sailed for
Europe yesterday, accom-
panied by her niece, Miss
May Kennedy.

enough gas issuing from the well to
be used for heating anu illuminating
on the property.
The well is down 1900 feet and only

At the close of the session the mayoi

station and carefully inspected it in
detail. They found an up-to-date
plant, seemingly perfect in every par
ticular. The pump was running
about thirty strokes and at that rate
it throws about 1900 gallons an
hour The water is clear and cold
and there is good, strong flow. In
fact the well holds itg own even wheI

Now that the flow of the well ha,
been established, the entire plan

yesterday reached total of S66 pupils.
As is always the case many of the
children were not ready to start yes

considerably swelled. Some of the
rooms are already overflowing, there
not being seats enough to accommo-
date the pupils, hence it will probably
be necessary to engage another teacher
and open the old Front street school.
