Sixth warders themselves was put

Wash and dry your tablecloths and

run through a wringer tightly set and
iron quite dry. This will give a beau

Tablecloths for ordinary may be folded

Abertillery, Monmouthshire, Eng, who
on Feb. 10, 1901, had a vivid dream, in
which he declared he was standing
with a radiant presence" in a shining
cornfield. His companion gathered
four ripe ears of corn and handed
them to him with the words. "These
are all for thee" Mr.. Gay Immediate
ly. told Rev. D. Collier, Of Abertillery,
of his strange dream, and said he was
convinced that he had four more years
to live, a conviction which no argu-
ment could shake. Exactly four later,
on Feb. 10, 1905, Mr.. Gay died.
