OTHING grows in the land of say the readers of destiny, more favorable to those who see it In their nightly visions than a field of wheat. To look upon a field of the growing grain, or preferably to walk in such a field, foretells a great financial prosperity. To those unm ar ried this dream indicates success in love beyond their most sanguine ex pectations. Not only will they m arry the person of their choice but the mar riage will be a most happy one and their children will be handsome and well-behaved. All this in addition to the wealth the dream foretells. If you are engaged in a law suit a dream- stroll through a wheatfield Is a prog nostication th at the suit will be de cided in your favor. In fact you will be successful In nil your undertakings if you dream of wheat. There seem s to be some occult con nection between the w heat seen in dream s and financial m atters which Is wholly unconnected with those rela tions as they exist in the wheat-pit of the produce exchange—and fully as much to be relied on as many grain speculators have found to their cost. In fact sim u latio n in dream wheat has a decided advantage over speculation in the ordinary kind in th a t you don’t have to put up any margin. To dream that you are eating wheat in the ear Imlientes that your profits In business are doubly secured. And if you are a farm er and dream th at you are giv ing away wheat you are g-olng to have a most plentiful h a rv e st There are only two things to be avoided by those dealing In dream w h e a t You must not dream th at you nre buying it; that is as unlucky as it Is lucky to dream th at you are giving It away. Nor must you carry on your bnck any quantity, however small, of the phan tom grain or you will suffer financial losses. Bt'arlng these two exceptions in mind go to bed resolved to dream of wheat.
