A Ghost Story with a Moral.

Charles L.Barrett, a youngcolored
thief, tells a ghost story with a
moral. He had come to New York,
ne said, with eleven tickets for stolen
articles which he had pawned in his
pocket, and at the railway station
had stolen a gold watch. He had
been In bed but q few minutes, the
same evening, when his dead mother
appeared to him in her grave-clOthes
and begged him to reform AS soon
as the ghost left him free egTess from
the room he fed, half dressed, to the
pOIicestatiOn, and got himself arrested
with all possible expedition. The
next morning in court Barrett reiter-
ated, with chattering teeth, his deter
minatiOn to reform.

ImprOvidence Of Western Pioneers.


ImprOYidence Of Western Pioneers.
But the worst vice of the average
pioneer is his improvidence. Tt is
true that there are many things
against him, such as poverty, to be
gin with, exOrbitant railway charges,
high rates of interest, and finally,
and fatally in most cases; q total
lack of thrift and management His
first step is to make his committed
entry at a cost of 5000. This means
a mortgage on his farm. Then it is
not a question of how little money
he can get along with, but how much
money he can borrow on his quar-
ter" They talk the matter over with
great interest among themselves, and
will travel fifty miles half a dozen
times if they hear of an opportunity
to make a deal with a loan agent
whose company viii lend 500 more
on quarter section than the 9th
ers.
With few exceptions the only peO-
pie among the first cOmers who re-
tain their farms are the foreigners,
principally Germans and Scandina-
most rigid habits of economy by the
experience Of hundreds of years Ia u
hard struggle for existence, viii start
with the Americans under precisely
similar circumstances, and while the
latter give way under the severe con
ditiOns imposed upon them, the for
eigners viii surmOunt the same OBJ
stacles, and make a success of life; if,
indeed, they do not go to the other
extreme, and work and starve them
selves to death-instances not sCrare
as one might imagine,
The farms of nearly all of the un-
fortunate representatives of old time
Yankee industry and economy are
provided with the most expensive
kind of modern agricultural machin-
cry, for all of which they are indebt,
and which is left exposed to the ele-
ments when not In use. Yet these
people are the pioneers of true civil

bailif to see that he Gid not leave
court until the fne was paid and he
had given his testimony.
The colonel subsidized into q seat
with q desparing grOan, and for hall
an hour listening In a dazed sort of
q way to the drearY crOss-eXamining
of the first witness by AIr. Blake.
When he had finished and the sec
Ond witness for the prosecution had
appeared, Col. Monk again beckOned
AIr. Blake over to him and engaged
him IN earnest conversation. At the
end OF five minutes the young lawyer
stopped down and whispered In his
ear: Col. Monk, nothing save your
unconditional consent to my mar
riage with your daughter can get you
out of this courtroom before
/ O'Clock %
The colonel gave a great gasp. He
was due on the platform at / pre-
cisely. The hands of the clock now
pointed to 1920, and it was a five
mile drive to the fair grounds.
Again grooming in anguish of
spirit the unhappy man broke the
seal Of another envelope q, messenger
boy brought him. 1t read: Il have
about given up hope. The people
say you are afraid BIS admir-
ers have taken the horses from his
carriage and are dragging him
about the grounds"
Perhaps at that instant a vision
of q tear-stained little face that
bid him gOOd-by that morning rose
before the colonel, because he dashed
his hand across his face as he NUT
tered: Course your ingenuity, yes;
III consent; there's my hand upon
it" He walked rapidly over TO the
clerk of the court, handed him $50,
and apOlOgized to the judge for ms
display of temper. At the same in
slant Mr.. Blake informed the court
Of n sudden discovery on his part
that the cOlOnels testimony would
not be needed. WhereupOn the
judge magnanimOusly fOrgave Gel
Monk, remitted his fine, and permit
ted him to depart, which he did
with a rapidity that took the balifis
breath away. No one seemed a bit
surprised when Mr. Black suddenly
concluded to switch about and plead
guilty, submitting with great grace
to six months imprisonment, which,
III view of the Nervousness Of his Of
tense, was exceedingly moderate.
Col. Monk was elected the follow
ing day by 1,463 majority Adele
and Albert was sitting side by side
on a sofa in the library as he came
in from the balcony, where he had
just been addressing a few Thousand
triumphant democratic voters. 1T
is to be feared the colonel had for
this once departed somewhat from
his wOnted abstemiOusness, because
he sWayed almost imperceptibly
from side to side as he regarded the
guilty pair, murmuring: You're 81

The Gift Of WhiStlinS.

Whistling has become to be quite as great
if not a greater nuisance than cigarette
smoking Indeed, notice than number of
brokers' offices on Wall street have signs con-
spicuously displayed above the cashiers win
dow, politely requesting the young men who
deliver stock not to whistle while they are
waiting for their checks. Exactly why the
sibilant gift has been endowed in the human
race is not altogether apparent. If it were
limited alone to ne1i who own dogs we might
still, with the exception of mosquitoes and
few other annoyances, justly contend that
Nature had made nothing that was utterly
useless. But when the whistle-I allude to

Gilbert and Sullivan operettas. popular
marches or sentimental ballads, 1t is, if not
used with the greatest judgment and control,
positively fatal. If there was such q thing,
for instance, as getting out an injunction
against this counterfeit on music, or even if
it were possible to corner the market. the
benefit that would accrue from such state
OF affairs is quite incalculable. John Preston
