and warnings, and stranger still When
these come true, as is often the case.
By what mystic power are dreams
enabled to project the visual sense
through space, to lift the curtain that
wells the future?
Quite often dreams foretell disaster,
or deal with some trouble that besets
the dreamer. Still, dreams have their
comedies as we'll as tragedies, n not
~infrequently essay the role OF assistant
to Master Cupid.
Missing persons and lost property are
sometimes found through the agency
of dreams. The death angel, lowering
naar, seems especially liable to cast its
dream shadow over a sleeper.
Not long 6 Connie Fletcher, a
young woman of Burton-on-Trent,
England, disappeared from home. Her
family greatly distressed were unable
to gain any traces of her through the
ordinary channels of information.
Missing Girl Found.
A few nights afterward Thomas
Trigg, a relative who had joined in
the unavailing search, dreamed that he
encountered the missing girl walking
along a certain street.
So greatly was he impressed by the
vision during the following day he left
his work and went to the spot where he
found the young woman wandering
helplessly along.
Just as vivid and twice repeated, but
failing as yet to result in the same sue
cess, was a mental vision that sent
william d. Huntsford. of Portland,
Ore, half way across the continent.
When Mr.. Huntsford was a boy In
Iowa he deeply loved n pretty girl
schoolmate. Fate and removal Of both
families from the state separated them
and Mr.. Huntsford lost track OF the
sweetheart of his youth.
Forgetfulness, however, did not blot
her picture from his mind. A few
months ago-he is now q successful
young business mamie dreamed of
meeting her in a strange city.
Mr.. Huntsford did not know the city
revealed in his vision, and no Clew was
given him as to it's identity, but he
recognized promptly the young woman
who was apparently in it and saw that,
like Rachel of Old, she was fair to look
upon,
Three times the dream illumined his
slumbers. and it was always the same
scene and the same happy meeting
with the sweetheart Of his youth.
There were high buildings about, troll
ley cars rolled past and a light fall of
snow covered the ground.
A few days following his last dream
the perplexed mar picked up a volume
containing views of Denver, ana in one
labeled Seventeenth Street reCog-
nized the t~horoughfare of his dream.
Not long after that Mr.. Huntsford
appeared in Denver. He was disap-
pointed, however, to learn that the
winter was so mild that there was lit
tie probability of snow falling, at least
not until very late in the season.
milne was a snow dream" he said,
and there must be a white carpet on
the ground. Still, / have faith enough
20 believe that l will meet my class
mate here some time. l will wait un-
til the last snowstorm of the winter
has swept over the city, confidently
expecting the girl with whom l used
to go to school back in Des Moines."
. Lost Jewels Recovered.
Real trouble assaulted Mrs. Joseph
H. Pineau, of Williamsport, Pa, a few
weeks ago when she missed her jew
els. Believing that she had been
robbed during a spell of sickness, she
had a servant arrested on suspicion.
That night Mrs. Pineau dreamed
that she saw her jewels at the bot
tom Of q basket containing ~chinaware.
In the morning she fastened to the
closet where the basket was, explored
beneath the china, and there found
her gems. just as she had seen them
in her sleep.
While hunting IN the woods last
winter William Ward, of Freeland,
Pa, lost a watch. 1t was two weeks
before the dream in this case revealed
the spot where the watch lay, but
when Mr.. Ward made a search there
he found 1t.
Warnings of disaster frequently come
to sleeping persons. While travelling
through Texas n short time ago a wo-
man living in Upper Sandusky, o.,
dreamed that her barn was burned and
two valuable horses lost with it. She
related the dream TO several persons.
That day she received information that
her barn had actually burned. and the
details tailed with her vision.
Startled from his sleep by a vivid
dream that his best Alderney cow was
choking to death in the stable, Robert
Richards, a prominent farmer Of
B~ridgeville, Del, hurried at dead of
night to his barryard a short time ago.
He found that the cow was really
choking n il died before he could eff

While Aaron Smith, railroad section
foreman of Medora, ILL.,, was working
near the station at Fidelity, Agent ID.
r.. Monahan came out upon the plat
form and waved a sheet containing a
telegraph message just received for

How did you know" gasped the
astonished agent.
Il dreamed it." replied the foreman,
taking the sheet that told of the tragic
death of his son.
Many miles away Irvine Smith, a
brakeman on the road, had been u
down by a train while frantically en-
~deavoring to release his foot from a
switch frog in which it had been
caught.

Death Is Foretold.
Falling from the fifteenth story of
the Gambler building, in course Of cree
ton at Atlanta, Ca, Peter McGeary,
an iron worker, was dashed to death a
few days ago.
The strange part of the story is that
only the morning Of the accident Fore
man Peck, who had charge of the iron
n steel workers. halted his men as
they were about to begin their labors
