A ghost has caused n divorce suit and
broken up q once happy family in Blount
county, Alabama. About five years ago
James Martin married n Miss Noel, one
of the bellies of the county. The young
couple went to live at the old Martin
home and all went well until about q
year ago. Mrs. Martin, naturally very
timid, heard n ghost rambling through
the old house one night and was badly
frightened. She told her husband about
it, but he could hear nothing, he said.
From that time it became n nightly
visitor Mt the Martin home. Mrs. Martin
wanted to leave the old house at once,
but her husband objected, declaring the
strange noises heard were made by rats.
Several times Mrs. Martin, so she says,
saw a white robed figure wandering
through the old house, and soon her
nerves and health began to give way
under the strain. She was finally pros
trated by her fear of her ghost, and went
to tho home of her parents to recover
her health and strength. Fear of the
ghost overcame love of husband, and
Mrs. Martin refused to live with him
again. Martin tried in vain to induce
his wife to return to the haunted house
to live, but she refused, and he filed a suit
for divorce on the ground of abandon
ment.-Chicago Times.

Hamlet says. Since, however, the peo-

enabled to pit against that unseen foe.

easy possibility. Whenever malaria
evolves its misty venom to poison the air,
and decaying unwholesome vegetation i'm
originates the water, there, in the very
stronghold of mIasma, is the auxiliary po-
tent to disarm the foe and assure efficient
protection. Fever and arue, bilious re-

forced to relax their grasp and eventually
to abandon it altogether. But it is its

splendid. don't suppose it's any use to

"Oh, nice people. Everybody ought

too, If the papers took it up in the right

anything right, the reporters-oh, Ican't
tell you how they twist things"
"How many instructors do you en-

"Oh, we have the loveliest teachers.
I'll go and ask Miss B to come and
tell you about them. She knows them
personally-all the little family history,
you know. But of course we don't want
you to publish that. Papers are just
filed with every ones private affairs
now. 1t is just horrid, but l suppose the
reporters don't care what they say if
they just get their pay. Excuse me, I'll

rustled away. The reporter waited while
they counseled together, and approach

that dress. You know l advised her to
put o revers on-so much more be

Lost In Detroit. Found In Boston.

There should be n moral with n sharp
point to the following episode, and, I'M
Rsop like, it will not be appended, but
left to the reader to affix. A Fall River
gentleman was last spring in Detroit.
Hc went on Sunday evening to attend q
fashionable church, taking with him his
religious views and n handsome silk UNI
brella- The latter he left in the inside
vestibulo In an umbrella stand with
numerous others, while tho former he
kept with him. The service being long,
he went out n few seconds in advance of
the benediction, and, on looking for his
umbrella, found it moi. So, being an
honest man, he took the next best one
and went to his hotel. Last Friday
while in Boston he stepped into the
Parker house. There with others on n
large settle hat rack stood his umbrella.
He knew it, for besides the peculiar
handle there on the gold plate were his
and address. He claimed his prop
erty, explaining to the clerk ut the desk.
So the two watched for the man who
should walk in and take the umbrella
Soon he came, lighted n cigar, buttoned
his top coat, took the umbrella, and was
stopped. Whose umbrella is that, you
want to know" he said when asked.
Last spring 1 was in church one even
ing in Detroit, and some sneak stole my
umbrella out of the vestibule, where 1
left it, and l took tho next best one.
Next morning 1 found a fellows name
on it, but that didn't make it leak, SO 1
kept it." There was an explanation, and
while the Fall River man got his UNI
brella back, the other one got q new n
at the expense of the man from the city
of spindles.-Providence Journal.

IN A TIGHT CORNER.


There was no getting away this time.
He had his fore paws around my left arm
and waist almost before 1 knew it. For
tunately my right hand was free, and 1
shortened the club and battered him
over the head while he clawed and bit me
on the shoulder and across the back. We
had 1t forward and back, the bear trying
his best to get a hold on my neck or face,
while 1 kept beating him over the head
and body with the club. At last down
we went on the ground; but just as 1
was going over l fortunately struck the
bear on one of his eyes and knocked it
out. The pain made him loosen his hold,
and he never got another, for 1 got on
my feet as quickly as 1 could, and
brought that big club down square
across his throat and killed him. 1 was
pretty badly hurt and rather short of
wind, but 1 knew 1 had better finish the
other one mighty quick, for If he got up
and fairly ut me again l would be wiped
out, SO l jumped for him, and got close
to him just as he was getting on his feet.
Lordl how / did batter that fellowl I
knocked him over and pounded him I'M
til was out of wind and the bear beaten
almost into q jelly.
Then l sat down and did what / never
did before-keeled right over and tainted.
/ must have lain there an hour or more
before / came to. 1t took two full hours
to walk about two miles to my cabin,
where. luckily for me, l found old Tom
Blakelock, another hunter, laying out q
supper for himself. Old Tom soon had
me spread out on the shakedown in the
corner, and hen he went to work to wash
my wounds and tie me together again.
After he had fixed me up in some sort of
shape old Tom went to the place where
l had the fight and skinned the bears and
hung them up. When he came back the
old fellow was dragging along three cubs
about 0 months old. kHe found the bears
den and captured the cubs, which he
pulled out with q piece of rope he always
carried. That fight laid me up for about
two months, but I came out as sound as
ever.-Cincinnati Enquirer Letter from
