, Sapplement to EVENING ROSEBLRG REVIEW DKC'EMIIKK 7, 1008. FORTUNE IN A DREAM There lived at Swaffham, In Norfolk, a hardworking. Industrious man wbo followed the trude of a tinker. This man dreamed one night that If he took a Journey to London and placed himself on a certuln -part of London bridge he should there meet with a person who would communicate something to him of great importance to his future prospects in life. Tho next night he dreamed the same again, and likewise the third night, when tho impression was so powerful on his mind that he determined. In tiplte of the remonstrances of his wife and the ridicule of his neighbors, to "go to London and see the upshot of it." Accordingly, having made arrange mcnts as to the management of bis business during his absence, he fur nished himself with a sum of money nnd set oft" on foot for the metropolis, distant about ninety miles. He reached the end of his Journey late on the third day. nnd, having refreshed himself with a night's rest, he took his stntlon tho next morning on a part of the bridge which corresponded with the description in his dream. There he stood all that day without uny communication to the purpose of Ills Journey. The next day It was the tame, and the third, so that toward night his confidence In his dream as well as his patience began to be con Hidernbly shaken, and he Inwardly cursed himself for bis folly In not yield ing to his wife's advice and resolved that next day he would leave London 'and make the best of his way home again. However, he kept bis station until lute In the evening, when Just as he w-as about to leave it a Btranger, who had noticed him stnnding doggedly and with anxious looks on the same spot for Borne days, accosted him and asked what he was waiting there for. After some hesitation the tinker told him his errand, without, however, ac quainting him with tho place he came from. ' The stranger smiled at bis simplicity and advised him to go home and In fu turo pay no attention to dreams. "1 myself," said he, "If I wore dis posed to put faith In such things might now go lot) miles Into the country upon a similar errand. I dreamed three nights this week that if I went to a place called HwniThain, in Norfolk, nnd dug under an apple tree in a certain garden on tho north side of tho town I should llud a box of money, but I have something else to do than to run after such Idle fancies. No, no, my friend; go homo and work well at your calling, and you will tlud there tho riches you are sucking here." The tinker was astonished. This, ho doubted not, was the Information he was seeking, but ho said nothing fur ther to the stranger than to thnnk him for his nilvlce and, to declare his de termination to follow it. He Immedi ately went to his room and next day set oT for home, which lie reached safely. Ho said but little to his wife on the subject of his journey, but rose ouriy the next morning nnd commenced die- Oregon Restaurant Open Day and Night EASTERN OYSTERS on the Shell Fresh Olympia Oysters Fish and Clams all the time Chicken Dinner on Sunday 12 to 2 P.

After proceeding In his work a few feet downward bis spade struck ucAiat a bard subatance. which, upon c leu ring the mold from the top of It. proved to be an Iron chest He qulckiy removed It to his house and, ha vl tiff with some difficulty broken off the lid, to bis g-ut joy found It ful! cf money. After securing this treasure be dis covered upon the outside of the .chest an inscription, which, being no Bcholar, he was unable to decipher. lie there fore hit u;uii the following expedient to ascertain Us meaning: There v.ns In the town a grammar school, several of the pupils from which were constantly in the habit of parsing his smithy on their way to nnd from school. .The tinker Judged that by placing the chest nt the door It would excite the attention of the boys, and thus be should bo able to obtain the object in view without exciting uuy suspicion among his neighbors. Ho soon had the opportunity he sought A number of the boyB baring gathered round, as was. their custom, to witness tho operations of the forge, ho took occasion to challenge. -their scholastic skill in the translation of the Inscription. Some shook their beads. Others after conning it awhile said it was not sutticlently legible. At length oue older than the rest, anxious to display his superior learn ing, after scraping and brushing off the rust gave the following solution of lt:- Vhero this stood Is another twice aa good. Overjoyed nt this information, the tinker next morning resumed his la bor, nnd n little below the ground al ready cleured be found a-second chest double the size of the LI rat and, like It filled with gold and silver coin. Tho account goes on to state that be coming thus suddenly a wealthy man, the tinker showed his gratitude to Providence by building a new chancel to the church, the old one being out .of repair. And, whatever fiction the marvelous taste of those ages may have mixed up with the tale, corUin It 1b that there is Bhowu at this 6a y a monument In Swaffham church having an effigy in marble, Bald to be that of the ttuker, with his dog at his side nnd bis tools and implements of trado lying around blin.
