What is in Dreams?

When the Jeanette had been gone
on her perilous cruise in the Attic
seas. in search of the North Pole, and
had not been heard from for nearly
two years. the action of dream
brought the first news of her destruc-
ton.
George Melville was one of the
engineers on the boat. Three months
before the government had any news
of her. MelviIle's wife dreamed her
husband came to her bedside when
asleep ana said to her, Jennie, count

"Oh it just happened So"

When Corbett and Fitzsimmons were
going to fight their fistic battle for
the championship of the world, q
dream told the result of the contest
three weeks prior. Naturally enough
the young folks, both MAZE and
female, native sons and daughters,
were DESTROYS to see the Californian
WIN. Ny children we're not an ex-

battle came off at Carson, my oldest
daughter alive, thought an old man
came to her in a dream. he had a
long white beard and streaming grey
hair, and was altogether patriarchal
in appearance. He said to her, "my
child, you are interested in the
fight, Yes, she said, eff you were a
betting being, and had money, he
continued, you would bet on Cor
bett.'' Yes, she replied. lie then
said in slow modulated tone, Don't
you bet cent on Cornett, for l know
as a certainty that Fitzsimmons Will
win, and will nearly kill Cordett be-

morning she related the dream. The
dream proved itself true three weeks
before the contest. After Cleveland
was elected president once and had
the nomination for the second time L
dreamed be was going to be president
twice. When the election was over
he was defeated by Harrison, l said
to myself, the dream is lie. -Four
years afterwards Cleveland received
the nomination and again was elected
making the dream true after all.

that these scions of business didn't
hold bonanza of their own IN the
field of business. The fact Is the
company is running right along send

key engines within one mile OF my

every little while daily. The fact is
that the great timber holding of the
