that War Department opinions generally

A Ghost Story.

There has been great excitement in
Glasgow, Scotland, about house sup
posed to haunted. The place was
school,; so one Thursday night detect
ives were deputed to proceed to the
house, and endcavor to unravel the mys-
terry. They met the janitor by appoint
mcnt and were admitted into the school,
where they placed themselves in a posi-
ton from which they could not be seen,
with the intention Of waiting for what
might occur. They had not maintained
'h=ir watch very long when the cause of the
whole delusion disclosed itself. It ap-
pears that the house on the opposite size
OF Stirling Street are occupied by a work
ing class population, who seldom think
OF drawing down the window blinds after
the gas is lighted. On the wall of the
old school opposite the windows there are
number of .highly-glazed maps, upon
which there is cast reflection of the gas
light in the house opposite. The detec-
t:ves found that if any movement was
made in one Of the houses on the other
side OF the street reflection was made
against the highly-glazed II ,,s, During
the past few nights the WI: LOWS of the
school had been left open, and the wind
disturbed the maps, which gave the ap-
pearance from the outside as if some OBJ
ject was moving through the school.
The idea of calling in detectives is very
prosaic. It is treatment similar to that
given to ghost by very matter-of fact
man, who, at the old manor-house, at
dead of night, saw the curtains slowly
open, and a ghost approach him, who
commenced II am the ghost OF Squire
So-and-so, who was fouliy murdered
on" Here the occupant of the bed
stopped the ghost by the remark, "My
good fellow, it is no business of mine;
you had better go to the policies station"
The feelings of snubbed ghost may be
readily IMAGINED.

DAY OF THRILLING ] EXCITEMENT
Forty Men Clinging to the Masts of a
Sunken VESSEL

Tho four-masted barge Rutter went down
unexpectedly on Thursday night about a
half mile from the lake shore, having forty
men on board. In the storm at daylight the
men were seen clinging to the masts. They
were evidently fast growing benumbed, and
every minute the waves broke over them.
Not tug in the Ludington harbor would
venture ont. The STORM was terrific. Final
~ Captain Kendrick offered to make an at
tempt. He went out in a government tug,
towing a lfe-boat. Occasionally neither
craft could be seen. The crew from the
life saving station at Pointau Sable arrived
at this time and tried to shoot line over
the; vessel from mortar. The whole morn
ing passed. at two o'clock in the afternoon
the lfe-boat succeeded in shooting along
side the masts and seven men dropped safe
ly in. The life-boat then came ashore like
rocket, and hundreds upon hundreds of
men bore her through the surf. Captain
Morgan's life saving crew then started out
after the other thirty-three men on the
wreck, but it seemed of no avail. Every
time the life-boat missed its mark and was
driven ashore. Just at shutdown another
start was made, the line fell safely in frozen
hands, and one after one the worn-out men
crawled over the boats side, to the joy of
the great throng of men, women and chill
dren who blackened thebeach for miles.

How To Get On In The World.

A bit of advice to young men who are
trying to get ahead: Never complain that
your employers are selfish. Not that
they are otherwise, but it will help mat
tiers to g1owl about it. They are selfish.
Their employers, when they were young,
were no doubt selfish and from them they
learned the lesson. You, too, learn it,
and when you become employers you'll
be selfish too. It is from selfish motives
that men engaged in trade, and selfish
ness rules their actions. Of course it
would be better, and wiser, and all that,
if we're not selfish, but they are. Now.
what are you going to do about it? Why,
make it for their selfish interest to do
better by you, and they will. Respect
yourselves and you'll make them respect
you. Reminder that you are at dis
advantage, that there are a hundred
ready to climb into your place if. you
do not fill it,, and that those who en-
paoy you are: fully aware Of the fact
and ready to make the most they can out
Of it. Remember that if you arc
getting 81 900 this year and want ST.
500 next year, you've got to earn $1,000
this year. :. You've got to pay orpromo-
tion, often an exorbitant price, and as
you have no other means to pay with,
you've got to pay in work. OF course its
unjust, Of course its seems hard that your
employer should keep and spend money
that you bavejustlv earned, but, Causeur's
word for it, it won't pay to fret or growl
about it. Never be satisfied with having
learned .yeur money" Earn more than
your money, and then, in a manly,
straight forward, bnsiness-like way, ask
for more pay. Ten chances to one you'll
get it. If you don't, look about, and as
soon as you've found better place, dis
charge your. employer. The hard work
that ye u have done, the record of it, and
the reputation you will have established
for hard work will make the task of find
ing new employment comparatively easy.
Your capacity for work is your only CAPT
tai. Invest heavily and, you are sure to
