a good husband.
To dream of being caught in a
heavy shower, and that there is
no shelter to be had, betokens
that the dreamer is shortly to
change her residence, and that
her wedding day is at hand.
The girl who finds herself look
ing at pictures, either in books
or in q shop, may rest assured
that q lover is coming to her very.
shortly, and that he viii be 3
very stiectionate and true hus-
band,
A dream that surely denotes q
coming marriage is when the
dreamer sees an owl flying about.
She may feel positive that her
coming marriage will bring her
great prosperity and happiness
and that the course of true love
will run smoothly for her
When a girl dreams that she
sees fruit growing, or that she is
gathering apples, pears, etc., it
it fortelIs her speedy marriage,
but at the same time denotes that
the coming union will separate
her from her friends.
To find yourself walking
through wheat fields or to see
oats, wheat, etc, growing, de-
notes that you will shortly meet
a man who will propose mar
riage after a very short acquaint-
ance.
Very Lucky
For girl to find herself in her
dream securing present ofjew-
elry-necklace, ring or brooch-is
very lucky dream 1t not only
fortells the early approach OF her
wedding, but also that she will
travel a great deal and live a
mach brighter and more varied
existence than hitherto.
If a girl finds herself striking
matches or lighting fire, lamp,
candle, etc., it means that man
whom she has known for a long
while is about to propose to her,
aud that her marriage will take
place within a year.
To dream you are packing a
suit case and setting out for a
journey denotes that you will
shortly be welded, but that your
married life will be lived across
the seas.
Ifa girl finds herself combing
-or brushing her hair, she may
shortly expect one of her men
friends to propose marriage.
Her welded life will be partlcu-
larly fortunate.
To dream that you are using
gum or glue, and pasting down
something, shows that you will
quickly receive a present from
one who is now a stranger, and
that you will wed tall, fair man.
When a girl finds herself
frightened in her dream at some
object, she may console herself,
as this fortells that she will short
ly be introduced to a man who is
to be her husband, and that her
married life will be very happy.
This is a most fortunate dream
for dark girls.
To dream that you sit by your
own hearth talking to some un-
known man fortells your speedy
marriage, but that your bride
Igroom will be older than you and
in better position.
Soon To Wed.
j If girl finds herselfin crowd

that she will very soon be q bride
and that her future life will be
spent in large towns. It also de.
notes that her lover will be some
public official.

months

I observed a great commotion
among my fellow passengers,
many of whom jumped from
their seats and pressed eagerly
around a tall man who had just
entered the car. They addressed
him in the most familiar style:
..Hello, Abel How are your" and
so on. And he responded in the
same manner: "Good evening,
Ben, How are you, Joe? Glad
to see you. Dickl" and there was
much laughter at some things he
said, which in the confusion of
voices I could not understand.
why" exclaimed my compan-
ion, "There's Lincoln himself" !"
He pressed through the crowd
and introduced me to Abraham
Lincoln, whom ] then saw for the
first time.
I must confess that L was some
what startled by his appearance.
There he stood overtopping by
several inches all those surround
ing him. Although measuring
something over six feet myself, I
had when standing quite near to
him to throw my head backward
in order to look into his eyes.
That swarthy face, with its strong
features, its deep burrows and its
benignant, melancholy eyes, is
now familiar to every American.
1t may be said that the whole
civilized world knows and loves it.
At that time it was clear saver
and looked even more haggard
and care worn than later, when
it was framed in whiskers.
On his head he wore a some
what battered stove pipe hat.
His neck emerged, long and sinew
from white collar turned down
over thin black necktie. His
lank, ungainly body was clad in
a rusty black frock coat with
sleeves that should have been
longer; but his arms appeared SO
long that the sleeves of "store
coat" could hardly have been ex-
pected to cover them all the way
down to the wrists. His black
trousers, too, permitted a very
full view of his large feet. On
his left arm he carried a gray
wooden shawl which evidently
served him for an overcoat in
chilly weather. His LEFT hand
held a cotton umbrella of the
bulging kind, and also a black
satchel that bore the marks oi
long and hard usage. His right
he had kept free for handshaking
of which there was no end unit
everybody in the car seemed tc
be satisfied. I had seen in Wash.
Iington and in the West severaI

but none whose looks seemed
quite so uncouth, not to say gro.
tesque as Lincoln's.
