GIRLS DREAM
COMES true
Kansas City Woman Has Re-
markable Experience.
Some Tragedy Followed Each Re-
turn, Including Her
Fathers Death.

| iudThdDle uTedH lHdI came 10 n
Kansas City woman on several occa-
sions, always foretelling some tragic
event within her family. This dream
and the events IL recalls coincide with
former well-known Atchison wo-
man who is now the wife of prom
inent physician i'm Kansas City. II
is believed the article refers to her.
though no names were mentioned.
The members of her family now
living in Atchison say the history
of the events within the family, all
foretold by dream, is a true nara
tive. This makes it quite certain
the story refers to a former Atchi-
son girl. The story reads:
A charming and widely known
Kansas City woman, daughter of a
Kansas statesman, had this dream,
of which she is seldom induced to
talk. 1t came to her first when she
was a young girl For many years
she could not be induced to tell her
dream. She woke weeping and un-
nerved. but her lips were sealed,
even to those most intimately asso-
ciated with her. 1t was as If some
will other than her own restrained
her.
The first night it came was on
which fire destroyed the beautiful
old home of the family, with all it
contained. 1t was winter and the
family was in town. Miss c., the
young daughter of the Kansas states
man, was just beautiful, whole
some, normal girl. In her usual
high spirits, she retired, and almost
as soon as she fell asleep she dream
ed that her father, her own idol, as
well as the admired and beloved
political leader of his state, was ly-
ing dead in the small, old-fashioned
drawing room of their city home
the house they occupied at the mo-
ment. With sorrow and horror, Miss
c. gazed upon the still form and
marble face of him, who never had
appeared to her except in. glowing
heath and OVERLOOKING vitality.
Near the still form of her father
Miss C. saw her brother in a gray
suit. He looked older and a little
stouter than she knew him, but
easily recognizable. The young man
walked around the bier and stepped
over to the mantel, where he pro-
ceeded to light. one after another,
the candles in the large candelabrum
that stood there. The young girl
never before had seen those candles
lighted. and was surprised to see her
for the family, as Protestant one,
did not associate candles with death.
When she woke she was in a cold |
and not until she made |
sure her father was all right could |
she be comforted. But no confess |
sion of her dream ever passed her |
lips.
The following morning the family |
received word that their old home |
in the country had burned to the
ground during the preceding night.
After that. Miss C. dreamed the
same dream of her fathers death |
at intervals of few months or few
years. and always it was followed
by the loss of some friend or rela-
tive or the destruction of some prop
erty in which she felt more than a
property interest. In each recur-
renee of the dream. precisely the
same incident was enacted beside her
bier, her brothes passing
around it and proceeding to light
the long unused candles in the
branched candlesticks on the old
The night her brothers fiancee |
died the dream came true. and again
it came on the night before a mes
sage that told of the death of be-
loved uncle. II required so newt
ably, and unfailingly fOretold some |
that Miss c came to fear |
it like a specter. She would wake
and weeping, but never
could be induced to tell her dream.
Years passed and Miss C. married.
For a long time she was free of the
vision. Then came the |
crown of motherhood, and afterward
a menacing illness to the little baby. |
One night-it was before they lost |
dream came again, and |
the following day the baby died.
The next death foretold by the
dream was that of the woman's faith
err. The warning vision came the
night before the message telling of
his sudden illness in a distant city,
and three nights before his death.
When the body was brought home
