Passing strange are their prophecies
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, and not
i~nfrequeEtly 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

dream shadow over a sleeper.
Not long ago Connie Fletcher, a
young woman of Burton-on-Trent,
England, disappeared from home. Her
family greatly distressed We're unable
to gain any traces of her through the
ordinary hannel of information.
Missing Girl Found.
A few nights afterward Thomas
Trigg. a relative who had Joined in
the %unavatling search. reamed 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

helplessly along.
Just as vivid and twice repeated, but
failing as yet to result in the same sue
cess. was Il mental vision that sent
William ID. Huntsford, of Portland,
Ore, half way across the continent.
When Mr.. Huntsford was Il boy in
Iowa he deeply owed a 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 a successful
young business mamie dreamed of
meeting her in Il strange city.
Mr.. Huntsford did not know the city
revealed in his vision. and no clew was
given him as to it's identity, out he
recognized promptly the young woman
who was apparently in it and saw that,
III Rachel OF old, she was fair to look
upon.
Three times the dream %illu1nined 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 fail OF
snow covered the ground.
A few lays following his last dream
the perpleSed man picked up a volume
containing views of Denver, and in one
labeled Seventeenth Street recog-
nized the thoroughfare of his dream.
Not long after that Mir. 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.
Mine was a snow dream" he said,
and there must be a white carpet on
the ground. Still, 1 nave faith enough

tom of a basket containing chinaware.
In the morning she fastened to the
closet where the basket was, explored
beneath the china, and there found

in her sleep.
While hunting IN the woods last

Warnings of disaster frequently come
to sleeping persons. While travelling
through Texas a short time ago a wo-
man living in Upper Sandusky. O.,

two valuable horses lost with it. She
related the dream to several persons.
