it's funny story.
1T was about fift en- years aso. The

hlnning the stovepipe up To the steepIe

Z The first time they lighted up the de-
'pRrtment turned out promptly to ipvesti-
gate the.eanse OF the smoke which rolled
out of the steepe. We discovered what
the snap was and went home and
rubbed up our engines.
About a week after, about three
o'clock in the morning, a belated citizen
discovered smoke pouring out OF the
steeple and turned In another alarm.
We went down again and looked at the
steaple. Then we drove bacx and cleaned
our engines.
Three or four mornings later a new
policeman got on 10 the smoke and
turned in an alarm. We hustled TO the
spot, saw the policeman and asked,
Where's the'flreT
e. There. don't you seer" He shouted
pointing to the sn noklng steeple. We
exchanged courtesies all around, and
tho new policeman felt pretty small
Thon we went back and polished up the
engines.
About week later the came police

Spokane Falls has sprung up so re-
Gently that soma Of the evidences OF alb
origin n glory stu liuger in its vicinity.
The canyon OF the Spokane river below
the city is a favorite haunt o. tae wan
dering red skins, who are stragglers
from some OF the reservations. and dur
ing the salmon season. which lasts near
ly all tho Summer there. the cluster OF
tapees are familiar sight along the
hanks Of the stream.
The Coeur d Alen- reservation Is only
twenty miles mp tine river from spokane.
The Colvllie and Noses reserves are a
considerably greater distance TO the
northwest These Indians, OF course,
are entirely subdued and are se harm
less as cattle, as they move quietly from
place to place and pursue their fishing
and hunting in modest way between
the dates Of receiving their supplies
from the kind-h arted Government.
Harmless as t1ese struggling Indians
are, they often indulge in the luxury OF
painting and decorating their person 10
true savage style. Gaily deoked young
bucks often ride through the streets OF
Spokane Falls on their cayuses, two or
three together, and are objects Of much
curiosity on the part 0l new comers, but
are noticed by residents II the city.
The old saehems strutting through the
streets srrayed in holiday attire. are OBJ
iects OF no less interest, and are great

replied Paul. know little Of acous-
tics, but l believe I can solve this mys-
terry. Last Sunday l was on the other
side Of the mountain, twenty miles from
here, and attended small church which
s partly hewn from tho rocks OF the
mountain. and In a niche cut in the
cocks above the church their bell is sus-
pended. Sec Mrs. Onderdonk, that
your cellar Is blasted out OF the solid
cock. am led to think that the rock Is
solid entirely through the mountain, and
conveys the sound OF that bell to your
manslon--a sort OF natural telephone, as
It were. / believe we shall ascertain It
Is that bell and no other which causes
5his musical phenomenon.
But how can we find out forcertaing'
lueried Mollle, anxiously
I'm get carriage tomorrow, and
will ride around to the church and got
the sexton to ring the bell forus Mrs.
0nderdonk can keep record OF the
sounds here, and we Will too, and IL
they agree, we shall know that ! am
right. See?"
Mollle did see. and her mother was
so relieved that she even listened 70 the
sounds that evening, with equanimity,
ssylng,-
Molly, II Paul is right, it win be far
from a detriment to the place
The next morning the young people
started on their long ride The church
was found and the bell rung several
times, and then they returned.
Mrs. Onderdonk met them at he door.
"Oh, my dears, the bell rang again
and again, and kept record OF every
stroke. .
SO did l, mamma, cried happy
Mollie.
It was then and there established be-
yond any doubt that the little church
beli twenty miles away was the only
ghost that haunted the On erdonk man
sion.
The strange story spread evorywhere.
and all the Yassar girls and Ctmbridge
boys at Bar Harbor, all the snipe shoot-
ers and flshermen IN the mountains. and
many city people, came trooping to the
little church, whore It was found that
raps on the rocks in the Ondsrlonli cell
ar could be heard as plainly a5 the bell
resounding in the once deserted man-
sion.
Every company, too, divided at the
church, and parb- II e greater part, too
would drive aronnd to Mrs. onder-
donk's, aud that lady was Obliged in
lf-defence TO chWrge an mission fee.
which soon became steady forcs OF
revenue to her.
And at Mo lies wedding, which oo-
cured soon after Pulls vsit, the merry
ringing Of the bell twenty miles away
was one OF the features OF the occasion.

A peculiar incident occurred on board
the schooner Howard Smith, OF Newport,
just previous TO her going ashore at
Doboy Bar, Ga. Just after leaving Hat
teras, up TO which time the weather had
been pleasant, it grew threatening, and
an owl came upon deck. whose presence
the sailors regarded as an evil omen.
They tried again and again TO drive the
bird away, but In vain. soon tho storm
arose, but the owl would moi depart.
The rest Of the experience In the gale Is
known. The men forgot the presence of
the owl aud fought the storm. The ves-
sci struck and the next wave carried
away the buiwarks. Captain Clifford and
the men sought the cross-treos OF She
loremast, where they remained all
night. In the morning the owl again
boarded the wreck as II it had been his
work. The bird was caught, and will be
orwarded to Newport. where it will ua-
doubtedly be a great curoslty,-New
