Photographs of a Spook.

A strange case of spirit photogra-
ply occurred few days ago in Los
Angeles. The lady who was the
chief actor will not consent to the
use of her name, but there is no ques-
ton OF the reality of the event, and
it is made all the stronger by the
fact that both she and the photogra-
pher are skeptics OF rpiritualis m
She took her position in the gallery,
and the photographer threw his
cloth over his head TO arrange the
locus, when, with an exclamation OF
fright, his head bobbed suddenly out
from beneath it's covering and he
stared at the lady.

complied, and again when he pro-
ceeded to adjust the lenses he could
not restrain his terror. His face be-
came beaded with cold perspira-
ton, his hands trembled so that he
could hardly proceed with the work.
Five times did he take the lady's
picture. refusing 70 give her any ex-
PLANTATION of his strange behavior.
At last he told her she would have
to go TO some other plnce-he could
not take her picture satisfactorily.
Then she insisted on an explanation.
He refused for long time, but at
last he brought her five plates from
the dark room. In each of them by
her side, dressed in grave clothes.

ing finger, stood the figure of u per-
son who had been dear to her, but
who had recently died. The lady

grapher did not know it. The pho

An Eaten Out Town.

On the occasion of the visit ofPres-
ident Harrison to Topeka, Kan, the
hotels, restaurants and boarding
houses were overrun by the great
Crowd. People camored for food as
the crowd clamors to getinto a circus
and guards were placed at the dinin q
room doors to keep back those who
could not be at once accommodated.
A gentleman who had tried every
public place found at late hour in
the afternoon a restaurant in an out
of the way place. lie went in and
asked if he could be fed. The propri-
etor said he had been eaten out.
"Pll give you a dollar for Il glass
of milk and a piece of pie" said the
stranger.
"Ain't got no milk and amt cot
no pie" replied the hungry proprie-
tor.

pointing out n pumpkin pie. The
proprietor looked at it in a languid
manner and answered.: That's all

III give you o dollar for the pie"
said the hungry stranger, growing
desperate.
The proprietor took out the pie
and was in the act of handing it over
when his jaw opened and about half
the pie disappeared, the other hall
being handed over to tie stranger,
who refused it.
"Sell it for quarter" said the pie

Why Banks Don't Want to
Take Gold,

'Do you know that cold is the
most unwieldly Of all the different
kinds of money now in circulation?'
said a prominent banker to your
correspondent.
"Why?" was asked.
Because it isnot bankable without
careful scrutiny"
Chow is that"
simply this: take a grcenback, II
silver certificate, gold certificate
or national bank note to your
bank, and it is received and placed
to yonr credit without Il moments
delay. Not so with gold. A few
days ago n gentleman brought to
our bank upward of $4,000 in gold
of different denominations, and was
much provoked because we would
not receive it forthwith, and give
him credit with the amount the face
OF the coin represented. This we
could not do, because the law re-
quires that gold shall be redeemed
only at its actual value. Coins car
RED in the pocket for any length OF
time naturally lose something in
weight by abrasion, probably but
fractional part of g cent on 1O.dol-
lar piece, but it is loss, neverthe-
less, and therefore bankers cannot
give credit for gold deposits until
the coin shall have been weighed.
In the case in point my friend took
his gold to the Treasury Depart
ment and was compelled to wait
there nearly an hour before he could
get notes for it. Every coin had to
be passed through the scaes, and
alter the weighing process had been
completed, three coins, two five-dol-
lar pieces and one 1O-dollar piece
were returned to him short in weight.
Before returning short-weight coins
the department stamps on the face
OF each a cross. The owner is left to
either send the coins to the United
States mint for redemption or to
again put them in circulation.
Eventually the coins with crosses on
their faces will go to the Mint and
be redeemed at their actual value.
In many instances there may not be
more than several cents shortage on
$50 worth of coin. Business men.

Her Woman's VIII Defeated


A theatrical man tells the followins
ST DRY. He did not attempt to vouch
for its truth, so the writer does not,
merely giving it here for what it il
worth as an illustrat zion ola woman s
will. The man who told the story al.
so disclosed then ames ofthose about
whom it is related, but owing to the
doubt about the absolute veracity OF
the tail itwould not be fair to mention
the names. Suffice it to say that
one was an actor and the other an
actress, and both very well known
to the public. So call the actor y,
because that is about as far as one
can get from his name, and the ac-
tress Miss A., because her name
is nothing like that either.
Miss A besides being perhaps
the most pro minent chararter in the
play was also tie stage manager. and
it was she who regulated Mr.. l-'s
salary.
Now y had long commended that
his salary was not one-half what it
should be, and Miss A. declared
as firmly that this was neither here
nor there, for the salary would re-
main unchanged. This condition of
affairs did not make the two love
each other as good christians are ex-
pected to do. Such scenes as these
(behind the flies, of course), became
frequent:
''When are you going to raise my
salary?'
Never"
"All right, then. l leave you to-
morrow"
every well, why don't your"
Or the war might be varied to this
form:
Are you going to raise my salary
this week."
"No"
"NeXt week."
"No."
"When?"
'Never."
That determined "never" was a
disagreeable check to the argument.
Finally y worked out sub-plot
in the play. In one act he, the noble
hero, carried Miss A. from a top
story to the ground down a ladder.
One night when this scene came on
he stepped upon the round OF the lad
der as usual, holding in his arms his
fair burden. But instead of coming
down quickly us usual, as a vigor-
Gus, invincible hero should, lie
stopped.
"Now," he whispered in her ear,
raise my salary"
"Never."
1Raise my salary or l drop you."
Here was a crisis. Two things were
in danger-the success of the scene
and the actress bones.
Raise my salary or | drop you"
The. ''house" was waiting. Miss A
closed her eyes.
"Neverl" she said, and he carried
her safely down the ladder.-New

Sight in Creeping Plants.

From Mrs. Kings Book on India.
My husband has preached a the
DRY that | cannot remember to have
met with before-namely, that creep
ing plants can see, or at any rate
have some faculty equaling sight.
lie was sitting in the veranda with
one foot up against largo pillar,
near to which grows a kind of con
volvulus. Its tendrils were leaning
over into the veranda, and to Rob
ert's surprise he presently noticed
that they were visibly turning toward
his leg. He remained in the same
position, and in less than an hour
the tendrils had laid themselves over
his leg.
This was in the early morning. and
when at breakfast he told me of fine
discovery, we determined to make
further experiments. When we went
outinto the veranda the tendrils had
turued their heads back to the rail
ing in disgust. We got a pole and
leaned it up against the pillar. quite
twelve inches from the nearest SPRAYS
of convolvulus.
In ten minutes they had begun to
curve themselves in that direction.
and acted exactly as you might fan,
cy n very slow snake would do if he
wished to reach anything. The up
per tendrils bent down and tho al,
ones curved themselves until they
touched the pole, and in n few hours
were twisted quite around it.
IT was on the side away from the
light, and excepting the faculty of
sight, we can think of no other
means by which the tendrils could
be aware that the pole had been
placed there. They had to turn away
rom the light to reach it, and they
set themselves in motion visibly
within few minutes of the poles be
ne there.

was impeded somewhat by the fact
that there was law in China against
