The Mystery of Dreams

Other neighbors helped carry the body and the still unconscious father into the house. When they told the mother that her vision had been true she collapsed.
 Even had the father obeyed his wife's admonition when she first ap- pealed to him 1t would have been too late, as 1t is presumed that the lad fell into the. pit while playing and that the sand fell upon him and smothered him hours before the search began.
 If you had the experience of a certain elderly woman who Is a mem ber of the Madison Avenue Baptist Church. you might, today be . devout believer in dreams. This woman. Mrs. J. D. Waring, knows nothing and cares less about the occult sciences. She is matter of-fact. and her veracity cannot be questioned.
 Mrs. waring dreamed that she stood in her own doorway. looking up and down the street. Not soul was in sight. Every shutter was closed. every blind was drawn. The street was dead. Then far up the street she saw speck, which grew larger. un- til she saw 1t was funeral. process sion And she knew 1t was her own funeral. No drivers were on the cabs

Alfred Lamphear, ' years old, of No 53 Clark Avenue, Jersey City, had been missing for two days last September and although his frantic parents were joined in their search for him by nearly all the neighbors they had found no trace of him.
 While Newton Lamphear, the father sought to woo his wife to sleep with the promise that the boy would surely return with daylight, Mrs. Lamphear suddenly leaped from her bed and clutched his arm.
 "AlfreGs buried under the sand hillr she cried. q can see him buried there-with the sand over his head. Hurry and get shovels and dig him out"
 You've been asleep and dreaming, Margaret" said the husband Its just dream. Be quiet"
 'rIes not a dreami" screamed the mother. T can see him standing up in the sand hole, with the sand. piled up over his head"
 Tn spite of Lamphear's protests his wife's insistence became so hysterical that. to calm her, he found spade and lantern and dug unavailingly for his boys body in the vacant lot next their home. After three hours he re- tdihCQ bC tHO DOubCs 1Nti8iiDOFb Aibo tried to comfort Mrs. Lamphear.

 A second time Lamphear took the shovel, and with a neighbor to helu him went to the part of the big sand hill that his wife described. The father spaded through the top layers then turned back a shovelful of the looser sand beneath and came upon the cap of his son.
 Lamphear fell across the mound in faint. But the neighbors went on digging, and in a few minutes un- earthed the body of the lad. which was standing In the hole. bolt up- right, with the right hand across his face-almost exactly in the position his mother had seen.

She went to Topeka. hired detectives and within two weeks captured the murderer and obtained complete con- fession from him. He had put rough on rats in her sisters coffee so that a few hundred dollars she had possessed would come to him.

 Olaf Alexander Edward Frederick Christian. Grown Prince of Norway. has been great favorite in England since his first visit here with his moth CT, Queen Maud, when he was still in dresses and had the golden curls of babyhood. When he arrived a few days ago to make his fourth visit to his royal grandfather and grandmoth- sr the crowd which had assembled at ths station to watch his coming nos ticed the last trace of babyhood had disappeared.
 It was sturdy youngster with close cropped yellow hair and reefer coat. who acknowledged the cheers with dignity, and then. forgetting the weight of his years, rushed to throw himself into King Edwards arms, much as any small boy would when he caught sight of dearly loved grand father. After this momentary lapse into forgetfulness the little prince gathered himself together and greet ed his grandmother, aunts, and small cousins of Wales with the nonchalance any seIf-respecting boy of ' considers 1t expedient to assume on these oeca- sions.
 Prince Olaf. the most popular per- son in Norway" as his father, King Haakon, has called him. has the most interesting personality of any of the royal children of his generation.

 London is asking itself that ques- ton.
 A married pair were inspecting q house in Surrey which was for rent. While the husband inspected the sta bles the woman remained in the par Tor.
 A man and woman entered the house. The woman was in tears. The man was angry After gesticuiating and talking an1rfly. he rushed at her and drove a dagger into her heart.
 The woman who witnessed this trag4 edy screamed and closed her eyes an instant to shut out the scene. Then she staggered to the door. The strange pair had vanished. The woman's hus- band heard her cry and returned, run ming. They did not rent the house.
 Some time later this woman at re- ception was introduced to a young wo- man and her fiance. She recognized them instantly as the characters seen in her vision.
 A few weeks later the young couple were married and the woman learned they had leased the home in Surrey in which she had the narrowing dream.

ed soldier digging industriously was the future ruler of Russia.
 One memorable visit to the shore was when Princess Victoria and the Wales children gave a garden party to entertain their Russian guests. The .Czarovitch was preparing : to enjoy himself playing games with the other children when he suddenly caught sight of motor belonging to some of the guests. That was enough for him.
 He was immediately seized with desire to run that motor himself. and bounded into It. The old soldier fol- lowed at ofce and prevented a catas- trophe, but 1t was very angry czar- oyitch that he saved. When the boy found that running the motor himself was quite out of the question he de- cided to sit in 1t anyhow. and so he did all afternoon. turning the wheel from right to left and apparently playing he was going at full speed. while the soldier sat with him and looked on.
 The Czarovitch is an intelligent boy and very fond of music, like his moth CT. He has to study daily, but rather resents this. Ills present ambition seems to be to become a soldier, and his greatest joy Is to watch a review of the troops.
 Nicholas Thomas Jean Marie. Crown Prince of Italy, Is just 6 years old. He Is a typical Italian child with silky black hair olive skin. and great. lus- trous. black eyes. He, too. is adored by his three sisters, but he Is not so autocratic in the nursery as the Czar- ovitch, because Queen Marguerite is, of all royal mothers, the most sensi- ble and pains taking. She Is constant ly with her children. and brings them up in the way that she herself was reared. to be simple, unassuming and unselhsh.

 Last summer Alexis Nickolalvitch Czarovitch of RusSia, paid his first visit to Great Britain with his father, mother. and sisters. He did not see London; in Iced, the royal yacht an- chored only off Cowss. and all of Eng land the Russian royal family saw was the Isle of Wight and a distant view of Portsmouth.
 Alexis Nickolaivitch. upon whose un- conscious young shoulders a heavy burden will one day fall. Is very handsome boy of 6. with black hair and dark eyes. He Is very strong, healthy, and self-assertive, and in the Russian royal nursery is an autocrat, his four older sisters always yielding to him in everything.
 Undoubtedly self-willed and domi- neering in disposition. the only won der Is that he Is not more so. He seems to have all the courage, vigor, and energy that his mother had when she went to Russia and none of the weakness of his father.

Shopping expeditions bored the young CzarovItch as much as they delighted the grand duchesses, and he speedily left his sisters to get what they wanted and made his way to the beach with his soldier attend ant, and there they built forts in the sand together.
