About8 o’clock Monday after¬
noon an alarm of lire was given
which was found to be in W.
J. Johnson’s residence, The
prompt aid of the citizens, who
are always ready to help to the
utmost in such emergencies, was
the only thing that prevented the
house’s beingentirely consumed.
From some unknown cause the
bedding was ignited in the east
room, burning entirely up. A
window on the north side of the
room being open the llames ig¬
nited a lot of clothing on the
banisters and setting tire to the
weatherboarding and banisters.
The tire was soon put under
control by the large crowd.
Something strange is that the
inside of the room did not burn
or even blacken.

Daughters of (he Confederacy.
The Daughters of the Confed¬
eracy were royally entertained
at the home of Mrs. Florence
Lowry on last Saturday afternoon.
After dispensing with other
important business, a program
for an entertainment in the near
future was interestingly dis¬
cussed and decided upon.
The date of the entertainment
was not definitely fixed, but will
be the last part of this month.
We were then invited into the
dining room where delicious re¬
freshments were served by Mrs.
Florence in her own charming
way.
After the sun had sunk below
the horizon, the Daughters very
reluctantly took their departure
to meet again at the home of
Miss Alina Hill, Dec. 9th, it be¬
ing the second Saturday.
All of the Chapter are earnest¬
ly requested to be present.

Strange Stories of Dreams
From Tit-Bits.
Some of the strangest stories
in the annals of crime are
which tell of the part dreams
have played in the discovery
criminals. One spring day in 1880,
a farm laborer, when passing a
lonely mountain lake in Suther
landshire, saw in the waters a
dead body, which when rescued
proved to be that of a well known
peddler who had mysteriously
vanished about a month earlier.
The body Lore marks of violence,
the pockets were empty, and it j
was clear that the poor fellow j
had been brutally murdered and!
robbed—but by whom? That wasj
a mystery which for many a week
completely defied elucidation.
One night, however, Kenneth
Fraser, a tailor’s assistant,saw in
a dream the cottage of a man
named Hugh Mcleod,and heard a
voice say in Gaelic, “The ped
dler’s pack is lying in a cairn of
neks near this bouse.” He told
the story of his singula.- dream to
the authorities, who accompanied
him to Macleod’s house; and
there, sure enough, beneath a
heap of stones, the murdered
man’s property was found. Mac
leod was arrested, confessed and
was executed.
Another very remarkable story
is told of a tragedy in Ireland,
One evening two strangers pre-;
s uited themselves at a wayside
inn near Portland, and aftertak
jng refreshments continued their
tramp in the direction of Carrick
on-Suir. The incident was com
momplace enough; but it led
startling developments, for in ! !
the wayfarers the landlady of the
inn recognized two men of whom
she had dreamed a very strange In her j
dream the night before.
dream she had seen one of them
kill the other with a coward’s!
blow from behind, riile the pock
ets of the dead man, and stealth
ily bury him beneath a hedge.
So impressed was her husband
when this dream was told him
that he made his way to the spot
indicated and there discovered
the body of the dead man. The
assassin was pursued and arrest

ness of the man. On the strength
this dream clue the man indi
was arrested, and not only
his guilt, but betrayed
his accomplices—three criminals
being brought to the scaffold as
the result of these visions of the
: ght.
Some years ago a Mrs. Ruther
ford dreamed that her aged rela
tive, Lady Leslie, was about to
be murdered by a man whom
she clearly saw. She immediately
set out on a visit to Lady Leslie
asked permission to sleep in
the lady’s room. ' In the middle
of the night Mrs. Rutherford
heard someone trying to open the
NO. 5 i
bedroom door. She raised an
alarm and (lung open the door,
when Lady Leslie’s two sons
rushed out and in in a moment
had seized the man of the dream.
The following story is,perhaps,
the strangest of all. One night
the Rev.Herbert Powys,a Church
of England clergyman, dreamed
that the daughter of one of his
parishioners had gone out into
the darkness to meet her lover,
who, at the time, was waiting
for her in a secluded spot and
spending the time in digging a
grave for her. Jumping out of
bed, Mr. Powys rushed to the
place indicated in his dream and
arrived there just as the man had
hurled the girl to the ground by
the side of the open grave and
was about to kill her with his
spade.
