John Boyce was a village carpenter, and It. cuuuOt be said of him that he was a hardworking man. As a matter of fact, he was Inclined to be lazy. He had a wife who was regarded os easy going, and the couple did not cut fnucb of a figure in the estimation of the villagers. • The only child of the Boyces when they had been married more than seven years was a son named Bofc,- slx years old. He wasn't dull, and he was not considered unusually smart- just an average boy. If any one bad predicted that he was going to turn that county inside out before he reach ed the age o.f seven he would have been looked upon as light in the head. The boy started his career at the breakfast table one > morning when he said: “Father, did the lightning ever strike anything in Hillsdale?’’ “Not that I remember,’’ was the reply. “But k’s going to.” “How do you know?” “Dreamed it last night” “What’ll it strike?” “The Methodist meeting house. It’s going to strike the spire and bust It all to pieces aud then bum the church down.” “Bob, the cat must have been lying on your stomach.” said the mother, who was somewhat Impressed by his earnestness. “No. she wasn't” “It ain’t worth minding.” said the father as he left the table to fill his pipe. An hour later he met the pastor of the church on the street and told him what young Bob had dreamed. “Indigestion.” replied the good man. On the afternoon of the third day thereafter a thunderstorm 9a me. While the clouds were banking up the boy came In from play and said to his mother: / “Now you watch out and you’ll see the church struck!” And so ft hap^ pened. When It came to be generally knowt that the boy had dreamed it. It was commented on ps a curious thing, but It was the start of his career ns a dream er. It was about two weeks later that be said to his father: x “Father, they are going to steal Mr Enright’s black horse" "How do yon know?” “I dreamed it last night. The horse was in a lot. and a strange man put a bridle on him and rode him off." During the day the carpenter sas Mr. Enright and told him of the dream and advised that the horse be locked in the barn o’ nights. The owner laughed heartily aud replied: “Don't let Bob dream that my moth er-in-law Is coming on to live with me." Two nights later the horse disap peered and was never heard of again. Young Bob didn’t rush the dreamins business. It was four weeks later tbn' he said: “Father, yr. Jones, the constable, is going to be hurt." "How?" was asked. “I dreamed that u man hurt 1dm.” “What sort of a looking man?” ”Hls nose was reddish, mid he had busby whiskers aud was in his shirt .sleeves.” The constable was told, and be smiled and replied: "Boyce, do you believe In your boy’s dreams?” “Yes, I think so.” "Well, to show you that I don’t here's a five dollar bill I'll bet against a fifty, cent piece that this dream of bis turnn out to be nonsense." Mr. Boyce fished up the coin, aud the wager was made. That was in the forenoon In the afternoon he drove out into the country to serve some pu pers on a farmer, and while talking with the man's wife at the dobr ho was bit on the bend with a club by the husband, who sneaked up behind The assaulter had a reddish nose anc bushy whiskers. The coustable was in bed for two months, and the farmer ran away tc avoid arrest The next dream was that Deacon Goodhue would lose his two cows if' he didn't shut them up. When told of it he replied: 'They must take me for an old fool to think i would heed dream.” "But that Boyce boy’s dreams have come true." v - — ' , Two days later the deacon’s cows were run over by a train on the raik road. This dreaming was uncanny. It was dangerous. It got on the nerves of a whole county. In old Salem days they would have denounced that boy as a wizard and roasted him at the stake. As it was, they could do nothing but ask each other what should be done. It was a lightning rod man that solv ed the problem that puzzled all others. _ “I’m not a superstitious man," he said, as all other men say, “bat I don’t want that boy dreaming that 1 fell from the roof of a barn and broke my back. Let’s buy the family to move a thousand miles away and dream for some other community.” A committee had a'talk with Mr. Boyce, and be agreed for the sum, of 1915 inclusive.
