We will reach Ketchikan, our first

you a line to let you know how we
are enjoying our trip. So far, we
have enjoyed it very much.
The crowd on the boat is a very
congenial one, which helps to make
our trip more pleasant, and the serv-
ice we get is splendid.
AS yet there has been little ex-
element, with the exception of yeS-

had spotted a whale. Then there
was excitement, but much OF every

DREAM BRINGS
100000
VISIONS OF INSURANCE LEAD TO
DISCOVERY.-CAS JUST DE-
CIDED IN SUPREME COURT.

The closing of the case of Ranci-
pher VS.. the Women of Woodcraft by
fdecisiol of the supreme court ends
one of the most interesting cases tha
have come before the courts for some
time.
The story is told as follows in the
papers of the sound:
Tacoma, July 1S.-Dreams have
been worth $1,000 to Mrs Clara Ran
cipher, living at 445 St. Helens ave-,
to whom the supreme court at Olym-
pia yesterday awarded a judgment
for that amount on a certificate of in
surance issued by the Women of
| Woodcrawt. From psychological
standpoint the case is one of the most
curious that has ever come up in the
county.
In January, 1904, Mrs. Minnie
Sullivan,of Seattle, the mothe.' of Mrs
| Rancipher, died. A short time before
| her death she had increased her in
surance AMI changed beneficiaries,
leaving $1,000 to Mrs Rancipher.
After her death, Mrs. Rancipher, not
knowing she was beneficiary, paid
but little attention to the insurance
But later, being in Seattle, and
knowing that her mother affiliated
with the Woodcraft, she visited the
secretary and asked if there was any
insurance. She was assured there
was none for her. Two years passed
and she had forgotten all about it..
Then she dreamed that her mother
had left her a $1,000 insurance in
the Women of Woodcraft The dream
was so strongly impressed upon her
mind that she made another inquiry
of the Woodcraft, only to be told
there was no insurance in her name.
Same Dream Again.
A short time later the same dream
cameagain And a week after the
second dream she dreamed it third
time. This decided her and she
place the matter in the hands of her
attorney, Ralph Woods He heard
her story with doubt, but began an
investigation, and was surprised to
find that she was the beneficiary to
the amount she had dreamed There
were technicalities in The way of pay
ment, the application for the change
OF beneficiaries AMI the increase of

ten days before the death of Mrs.
Sullivan. However. the bylaws OF
the Woodcraft hold that an applica-
tion for raise OF insurance was as
good as the delivered policy. Never
| theless, the Woodcraft refused to pay,
and lawsuit, lasting two years and
having its inception in dreams COM
menced. Judgments were gotten ii
the lower courts, but were successive
ly set aside. until the supreme court
yesterday put quietus upon the liti-
CATION by its decision.
Peculiar Feature in Case.
A peculiar feature of the litigation
was that in May of last year Mrs.
Rancipher dreamed that the Superior
Court here would give her judg-
ment for $1,000, The case was then
heard in court with little prospect of
settlement. Two months later the
superior court gave her the decision
just as she had dreamed.
And to cap the climax" said Mr..

greater share Of this to the manufac.
turers OF prepared cocoanut for do
mestic and other cooking uses. Form
erly the house wife who wanted to
use cocoanut for pies or cakes or pud-
oings used to CRATE it herself. Now
tne vast majority Of all users of CO.
coanut buy the manufactured product
all ready prepared for use, and the
manufacture of this is trade in
which people find employment.
"Cocoanuts to be used IN making
prepared cocoanut are put, a lot Of
them together. into iron crates in
which they are subjected to a steam
bath. This swells the outside shell a
little ana at the same time contracts
the meat within and tends to separate
1t or to make it easier to separte from
the shell.
From the steam bath the nuts 90
to the man, who opens the nuts
sometimes in the steam bath the
shells of the nuts, or some of them,
may crack. which facilitates by so
much the work Of the opener.
Father used to crack the cocoanut
with hatchet. The professional CO.
coanut opener uses an implement
that Is much like solid steel oyster
knife. having at one end the heavy
iron handle and at the other end the
blade. With the heavy end Of this the
opener taps the cocoanut- and cracks
the shell and cracks it off, or If any
Or all Of it still adheres to the meat
he prizes 1t off with the knife end Of
the implement. leaving the round
globe of cocoanut meat unbroken, but
still covered with it's familiar brown
outer skin.
I'm these days there are men who
work regularly at cocoanut opening
just as they might at any other en-
ployment. though one somewhat un-
usual feature Of the cocoanut OPEN
er's work is that they begin it at 2
a. M, this so that sufficient stock may
be prepared daily in advance for the
other workers to begin on. An ex-
pert cocoanut opener can open 2,00O
mats day.
"The shells removed, other workers
take the whole nut meats and spoke
shave of that brown outer skin, and
then the white round globe Of cocoa
nut meat is put into a machine and
quartered. In these quarter sections
the meat Is inspected for the rejection
Of nuts not sound and sweet. and then
It is sterilized. after which it Is ready
for the various further processes in.
volved in shredding and drying and
otherwise preparing 1t for the mar.
ket."
