Always Called Her Honey.

Amusing incidents are of fire.
quent occurrence in Recorder Tor
reyson's Office, but nothing funnier
ever happened there than one day
last week, when a young man could
not tell the name of his intended,
when securing his license. The
young couple came into the Office
accompanied by the girls brother,
who was to certify to his sisters
age. Recorder Torreyson dated
the license and then asked the
young man his name. 1t was writ
ten on the paper and then the Re-
corder asked the first name Of the
young lady. The young fellow
colored to his hair, stammered
something and after a moments
hesitation blurted out:
"Why-why, l don't know !"
Don't know" repeated the
Recorder, "then you must find out.
What do you call her?"
Again the young man red dened
but he braced up and said:
81 always called her honey"
During the brief dialogue the
poor girls confusion was great. Her
brother was convulsed with laughte,
and the absence of other strangers
only prevented a fearful break.

"Well," continued Mr.. Torrey.

but it won't go on the record"
The girls brother was appealed

The Chicago, Hannibal and Spring
field Can be Counted On.

~ am as sure that the proposed
Chicago, Hannibal Il Springfield
will be built" said a gentleman
who ought to know what he is talk
ing about, this afternoon, s'as l am
sure of anything l know Of sew
eral reasons why the line will be
commenced in a few weeks and l
am almost as sure that it will pass
through Mexico.
"Now, l suppose you know that
the principal inducement for the
company to adopt the C~entralia
route is the cheap purchase of the
Branch railroad, running from Cen
tralia to Columbia. But if Eastern
and foreign capital is interested in
this enterprise, as it will be, this
very purchase would be a stumb-
ling block in the way of the enter
prise. The Columbia "spur'' can
only be bought subject to a lease,
which does not expire for fifteen
years. So you see a contingency
arises which will do nothing short
of directing the course Of the road
through Mexico. These Eastern
and foreign capitalists want to
make a straight deal of it, subject
to nothing.
tAnd there are other reasons
| why Mexico will ultimately be
| selected: This is a better town
than Centralia the country both
north and southwest of this place is
| better than that about Centralia,
and your money inducements are
larger than those of the little place
to the west of us All talk of the
road having been located through
that place is, I think, utter bosh."

rs HAUNTED HILL pEsERrEpp
Three Months Will Teli-History
of the Famous Hill and
It's Mystery.

Readers Of the LEDGER three
years ago remember the stories of
a haunted hill. several miles west
of Mexico. The hill was one of
the most extensively advertised
affairs in the country. From the
Atlantic to the Pacific the fame of
the Haunted Hill of Mexico"
went in a twinkling. Eastern
papers printed long accounts of the
wonderful manifestations of the
ghostly inhabitants of the Hill.
The New York Ecening Telegram
even went SO far as to illustrate mn
article of two columns, giving PIC
lures of the hill and the king of its
hobgoblins.
For years the Hill was known
to be haunted. With the coming
of the first frost IN September,
great meanings and wailings would
emanate from the mysterious Hill,
and belated travellers would at
night hear terrible noises and
witness blood curdling sights in
the strip of woods that covers the
wonderful place. Strong men of
courage frequently equipped them
selves with weapons and armor.
and sallying forth, would endeavor
to drive from their haunts the
mysterious beings that made the
Haunted Hill their nightly rem
devious. But it was always in
vain. The parties always returned
empty handed. Often the men
came home in the morning with
their clothing all tattered, faces
blanched and. nerves completely
shattered-how they had been re.
dneed to such condition no one
knew. 80 year after year the
ghosts held high carnival, with the
coming of frost, and until late the
next year the Hill was a place Of
terror.
John Greasy, who then lived in
the "Ghost District" finally de-
termined to organize a body Of mer
for the purpose of effectually rid.

desirable residents. 1t was about
