From tho Hartford lMd.) Democrat.

Last week the children at Public
; @hool No. 3, near Carson's Run, pro-
posed to play ghost, and selected Annie
Sicable, little girl about II years of
age as their victim. They accordingly

of Annie, posted one of their number
in the pines enveloped in Il sheet To
this place they led the unsuspecting
little girl, and at given signal the
sheeted figure made its appearance.
The children who were in the plot ran
and halloed ghost" and with them
ran little Annie, believing she had seen
a real ghost. She reached the school
room door and fell insensible, literally
frightened to death. She was taken to
her fathers house near by, and died
the same day.

How the Price of a Gown Spoiled
Match

4 few weeks ago New Hampshire
man. who had been a widOwer four or
i've years, concluded he would take
another helpmate, and, instead of max
ing his selection from the manageable
girls Of his own neighborhood, he gave
out that was going down to Boston to
get him wife. He left home for that
purpose, amid the cheers Of his neigh
bors, who predicted all sorts of misfor-
tunes would beiall him. Arriving in
this city he made his way to a we'll
know intelligence office, and impaired
the object of his mission to the mat
ron in attendance After considerable
questioning to satisfy herself of the
honesty of the farmers Intentions, she
went into the room where were a dozen
or more young women waiting for sit
uatjons. She stated to them that a
man was in the office who had come to
Boston to get him a wife. Were there
any present who were willing TO marry
an honest New Hampshire man with
out any courtship? He said he was
willing to give her a good tit-out of we'd
ding clothes at once. One young.
plump-looking Irish girl said she'd like
to see the party. After few minutes
conversation with the widower she con
sented to marry him, and they left the
office to buy the wedding outfit. The
farmer took into his confidence one of
the saleswomen who ioyfullv entered
into the matter. After assisting them
in their selection Of the various neces-
sary articles Of minor nature they
went up to the dress department to buy
the wedding gown. The variety shown
The young girl quite bewildered her

that exactly suited her. Unfortunately,
The price was fifteen dollars more than
the man was willing to pay. The girl

make the sale, but the widower was
