Certainly ft seems in-
for one to declare faith l^i

•very thing
the profound belief in dreams which per
vades the Old and the Xew Testament.
Again and again it is shown that the
mission of dreams !s often to guide, di
rect. warn and foretell. Three memorable
dreams mark the first chapter In the life
of Christ, and a dream figures in the
tragic closing scene. Xu a dream Joseph
was warned against wronging Ills he-1
frothed wife and told of the divine na-|
turc of tho unborn child. A dream caused I
the life-saving flight to Egypt, and aj
.dream Induced the return to Judea, andj
still another dream turned the steps of i
the Holy •Child’s guardians from perilous
Jerusalem to safe, sequestered Nazareth.I
In the second scene of the divine tragc-|
dy a woman’s dream was thought iA
enough moment to be sent to a learned
by her
husband and other persons.
In all the instances the apparition seen
was either tliat of a person dead or of
one alive, but in deep distress of mind or
body. •Several Incidents were given where
persons had seen the apparition of liv
ing friends who were at the time in great
trouble or peril, or in very ill health.
Professor Percy Kearne relates that he
once, saw the phantom (or astral body) of
a friend—a guest who had left him that
evening to attend a- concert. 1 ho figure
stood before him for a minute. very
pale and with blood on the face an neck.
An hour later his friend came in. pale and
bl’od-stained, having been accidentally
wounded and narrowly escaped being
killed.
Such phenomena tend to prove that
the soul or mind exists independent of
the body. Instead of being regarded with
terror and awe these appearances should

! belief in a future existence. M. E. B.

There are not as many Halloe’en stories
as we might wish. My message to you in
the Chat that went astray last week was
to send me some short letters ami
sketches on occult matters for this Issue,
as it would lie the Hallowe'en number.
However, we have several good suitable
yarns from our ever kind coworkers
and some contained in my “Talk”
about “Dreams and Apparitions,”
which may make you think I
am “superstitious.” .Perhaps I am.
Al any rate I am often intensely
consicous that a -great ocean of mysteiy
pulses around me as I lie, oyster-like, on
the shoal of time shut in by the shell of
a material body. Yv’c have all heard
faintly the murmur of this ocean of mys
tery. We do not listen to it closely
enough. It is drowned by tho rush and
roar of life—the pursuits ot gain, of pleas
ure or passion.
As to dreams, most often they are
merely fantastic dramas conjured up by
that sleepless enchantress the imagina
tion with a little aid from memory. Rea
son whose throne is in the front brain, i3
dormant in sleep, and so are the five
senses—so imagination slips <he leash
that holds her in check and has the stage
of the mind all to herself. Such comedies
and tragedies as she puts era for her diver
sion! How grotesque, and often how pa
thetic! Who has not laughed and wept
over these dramas, seeing nothing in
congruous in them any more than in the
fantastic scenes of the carnival.
But there arc other dreams! The an
cient Greeks held that dreams were of
two kinds—those that came through the
ivory gate of sleep had no serious mean
ing. Those that came through sleep's
sombre gate of iron were charged with
messages of warning or of guidance,
itsj Three times has the iron gate swung open
for me and each time an awful sorrow
was shadowed forth in a symbolic dream.

GRANDMOTHER’S GHOST.
The first Hallowe’en night that came
after grandmother was married, grand
father had to be away. To while away
the time she concluded to roast some
chestnuts, and with her little maid, Pol
ly. she went to the store room to get
them. Now this she knew was witches’
night, and Polly was very much afraid
they would meet some sort of “hant" on
the way, hut grandmother only laughed as
she said: "Afraid of ghosts? Not X.”
But in her heart she knew she was in
wardly trembling. She was only 17—an
age that Is usually vulnerable when
ghosts and mice are concerneu.
■So it was with quickened heartbeats
that she opened the door and peered in.
The tallow candle threw a spectral ray
among the dark shadows of the room.
She steppe^ timidly in and approached the
barrel where the chestnuts were kept.
Suddenly a great white object flew up
and dashed tiie candle from her hand
They were in utter darkness in the big
lum be red-up room.
Grandmother's faint shriek was drowned
by a shrill scream from Polly. The cry
brought the house boy Jack with a can
dle. The frightened pair quickly got out
of the room, but where was the white
thing—the ghost? 1^ must be made to go.
One could not sleep with a ghost in the
house. Jack was told to go in and in
vestigate. Reluctantly he stepped for
ward; he had nearly reached the barrel
when the ghost Hew at him and struck
the candle from his hand. ILc managed to
get out and to relight the candle; but he
would not venture in again.

ANNOUNCEMENT
TO READERS OF
THE SUNNY SOUTH
We have made an arrangement, with the best and most popular de- j
signer of women's and children’s modes, Martha Dean, to supply a pattern
service to the readers of this paper. To insure perfect accuracy the gar
ments are first made up in muslin by the most skilled fitters and afterwards
scientifically graded to the different sizes. The most inexperienced seam-
tress will have no difficulty in making up the garment by their aid. No
allowance should be made for seams as these patterns are all seam allow
ing, and they are unequalled for style, accuracy of fit, simplicity and
economy. Full description and directions as to the number of yards of
material required, the number and names of the different pieces in the Fat-
tern, how to cut and fit and put the garment together, are sent with each pat
tern. In ordering waist and jacket patterns give the bust measure in
inches. For skirts give the waist measure and length, and for children’s
garments give the age. Be sure to follow the directions carefully, giving
your full name and address, so there may be no mistakes or delays.
To those who are interested in dressmaking, this will be of great
value, as we give illustrations of the newest and best things. We offer
any one of these patterns to our readers for 10 cents.
HOW WE TRIED OUR FORTUNE.
We were three mischievous girls, and
were chums, which seems incongruous,
since with chums as sweethearts, “two
are company, where three are none.”
We had been out taking a stroll on
the afternoon of Halloween, and whe.11
we passed a married *friend’s home she
had called to us: “John has gone to
market, come and stay with me tonight,
we will have some fun.”
“Yery well.” we replied. ‘‘You may
expect us,” and we went according, to
promise.
After supper, we “tried our fortunes,”
in various ways; with nuts, mistletoe,
apples, corn, etc. until we tired of it;
then Emma, our young hostess, proposed
that we “set a dumb supper,” that is, we
should go to the dining room and pre
pare tile table, as for a meal; placing
the cold edibles on the table, each one
taking hold o fevery dish, plate, etc..
Uncle Peter was roused up and brought j preserving a strict silence In tiie mean-
to the scene. He ran a tremendous wi'in
kled hand into his pocket and drew out
his charms. Fortified with these, he went
forward, while Jack stood at the door
holding a candle, and behind him ap-
while, and wishing ardently for our fa
vorite admirer(?) to come and partake
of the supper, to all of which we agreed.
Emma soon had a fire blazing in the
dining room and we repaired hither.

Slowly Uncle Peter shuffled across the
room and approached the baleful corner.
The big white thing llew up, and the
group at tiie door hacked away In terror.
In the confusion the candle was blown
out and there was a chorus of screams.
Through them penetrated shrill squawks
that unmistakably suggests a fowl ori-
g.n.
“Stop yer foolishness, chillun,” en-
lairned Uncle Peter. "Taint nothin’ but
Emma assured us if we spoke it would
“break the spell,” and beyond a
smothered laugh or a titter, we did
pretty well.
After the table was prepared we sat
around the fire waiting for our charm-
invoked guests to come in a gust of
wind, but not really expecting any one.
Suddenly the wind which had lain quiet
all day, began to blow. It would have
blown of course, anyhow, but to
drinking of light, native wines of pure
quality would help wonderfully to miti
gate the evil of drunkenness. «
But I was describing a paper, was I
not? There is in Lists same issue an ad
vertisement of some length by George
Washington, dated Slount Vernon, in Vir
ginia, July 15, 1773, setting forth the ad
vantage to settlers on the Ohio and
Greek Kanawha rivers and suggesting a

The Dark Side
of a woman's life is seldom seen by anyone but herself. What
