Ia one of the standard British bio
graphical works may be found the story
Of Lord Castlereagh and the ghost. Ia
seems that when quite a young man
Castlereagh commanded u militia regi-
ment in Ireland One night he was sta-
toned in large, desolate country house.
The bed upon which my lord reposed
was at the end of long. dilapidated
room, while at the other extremity
great fire of wood and turf had been
prepared within a huge, gaping, old
fashioned fireplace. Waking III the mid
die of the night, Castlereagh lay watch
ing from hispillow the gradual darkening
of the embers on the hearth, when sud
denly they blazed UP and naked child
stepped from among them upon the
floor.
The figure advanced slowly toward
the drowsy but thoroughly puzzled gen
eral, seeming to grow with surprising
rapidity at every step, until, coming
within two or three PAGES Of his bed, it
had assumed the proportions and apr
pearance Of a ghastly giant, pale asdeath,
with bleeding wounds across the brow,
eyes seeming to glow with rage and de-
spair. Lord Castlereagh said that he
leaped from the bed and confronted the
figure in an attitude Of defiance, where

manner that it had previously shot up

FUNSTON on PENSIONS.


From the KlnCaid KEonlcle.
Congressman Funston, in the course
of his remarks In the grove, said:
"An old soldier who win leave the Repub-
lican party and 90 off with the calamity
hOwlerS, those per cent. fat money cranks,
ought TO be paid in deprecated money, and
he doesn't deserve pension. ."-PleasantOn
Herald.
The old soldiers are not pensioned be-
cause of service rendered their country,
but because they vote the Republican
ticket. Is that itH
II soldier dares to have an opinion OF
his own he Is not deserving pension, no
matter though he may have served four
years in defending his country. Though
he may have left a leg or an arm on the
battle field; though hemay have been con-
fined in Andersonvllle or other prison pens
Of the south and is now q mere wreck Of
his former self, he ls not deserving a pen
sion unless he votes the Republican ticket.
When soldier writes to Congressman
Funston asking hisald In securing PEN
son, does Funston first inquire whether
the soldier is q Republican before he
renders him any assistance? And If the
applicant happens to be Peoples party
man, what then?
According to his own words ne would
conclude that the soldier was not deserv-
ing pension and would pay no attention
TO his claims. Funston must have been
unusually mad at the Alliance when he
made use of the above language.
