Socrates Daimon, Dr. Holmes’ Idea, I had a very remarkable tatk the other day with a busineys man 60 years of age. The remarkable thing about it ts what he told me of a striking fact f hin life. He uid that from his youth he had heard in his sleep voices which gave him advice, directed his life, and dic. tated to him many words, Whén young he got a ‘menage from these voices telling him of cer tain improvements that could be made in writing Ife insurance. He had acted upon this information ‘These principles have been adopted by many companies, Ho bimnecif se cured an enviable ponition in the in surance world and earned a large sal: ary. One night the voices told him to quit life insurance, go to a distant city In the West, organize a trust company, and bulla a railroad. He resigned his position, much to the disgust of his associates, went to the city indicated, and established | the trust company, It prospered. The voices continually told him where to get money, and he always wot it. Never once did they mis. guide him. Soon the opportunity came to build | the railway. Following the voices he obtained the needed capital, and | without outside help constructed the road. - The voices also led him to build more rakroads, and he has laid down an | America.
