SEES HER LOVER
SHOT IN DREAM OF
TRENCH BATTLE
LONDON.—(Special.)—Many well-1
authenticated stories are told of how
sweethearts and wives have been
warned by dreams and telepathy ol
impending danger to loved ones at the
front. One of the most vivid stones,
on record is related by a young lady
whose finance was recently wounded.)
Almost as soon as she fell asleep1
one night she dreamed that she saw j
her fiance in the trenches preparing I
for a raid. In her dreams she saw
him, with many others, climb out of
the British trenches, cross out of the
the British trenches, cross No Man’s
Land and enter the enemy’s lines. Her
dream became confused for a mo
ment, and then quite plainly she saw
him climb on to the parapet of the
German trench and fall forward
wounded.
A big man came up, took the
wounded man on his shoulder, anil
carried him back to the British lines,
j The young lady awoke feeling very
j alarmed, and the next day wrote to |
her fiance for news.
A few days afterward she received;
a letter from him in a hospital, stat
ing that on the night of her dream,
about midnight, he was one of a ra*d
ing party, composed of English ami j
New Zealanders, and was wounded
whilst standing on the top of the Or
man trench. A big Maori carried him
back to the British lines, exactly as
the young lady had pictured in her
dream.

GRADED NASH
WHEN LIVING
WAS REALLY UP
The high cost of living? Bless you,
vou don’t know the first thing about
high prices in these days. Compared
with what Mark Twain, Horace Gree
ley and others used to pay for a
square meal in California’s early days
your eight course dinner at Astrobilt
or Cherry's is really a cheap affair.
Hut all who frequented the famous
old El Dorado hotel at Hangtow*
(now Placerville, Cal.; paid these
prices, and gladly. Those were the
palmy days of pioneer life, when the
hash was graded in two classes—
“low grade and “18 carat.” Here,
is the way the menu ran.
