Six miles from Henderson, Mo-, is
the site of an old mill which burned
down many years ago. At the same
time the miller's house was DESTROYED
and himself and family burned to
death. Now it is claimed that ghosts
are seen around the spot, and yells and
cries as of people in distress can be
heard any night by those courageous
enough to venture to the lonely place.
The Rev. John R. Paxton, the emil

killed, the fever can be quarantined,
butwho can quarantine fanatic who
is possessed with the idea that all the
world is wrong and he was born to set
it right"

MY SHIPS.


All, years Hgo, no matter where.
Beneath what roof or sky,
dreamed of days, perhaps remote,
When ships OF mine that were afloat
Should in the harbor lie;
and all the costly freights they bore
Enrich me both in mind and store.
What dreams they were Of argosies,
Laden in many . cline;
30 stoutly built, so bravely manned,
NO fear that they wenld come to land
At their appointed tune;
And should SEQ them one by one,
Close furl their sails in summers sun.
And then, while men in wonder stood,
My ships l would unlade;
My treasures vast they should behold,
And TO my learning or my gold
What honors would be paid
4 nd, though the yeans might come and go,
could but wiser, richer grow.
ii.
IN later years, no matter where,
Beneath what roof or sky,
i saw the dreams Of days remote
Fade out, and ships that were atloat,
AS drifting wrecks go by;
And all tie many freights they bore
Lay fathoms deep, or strewed the shore
While ships Of which l never thought
We're sailing DER the sea;
And, one by one, with costlier load,
In safety all the voyage rode,
And brought their freights to me;
Then what lost a trifie seemed,
And | was richer than l dreamed.
No wonderOus crowd, with envious eye,
Looked on my treasures rare;
Vet they were weightier far than gold;
They still increase though grow old,
And are beyond compare;
Would all the restless hearts / see
Had ships like these that came to me!

made. No. so yarn made No. so thread
