ANOTHER GHOST STORY.
Strange Ta.e About Haunted Ian in CID
yrJiii;,.

II Copakc about two miles below
was, thirty or forty years ago, an cd
hou.e where Il tavern hal been kept.
One John Shafer kept q tavern there
before this tire. and finally the place
began TO have an uncanny reputation.
An cd man named Nandeusel was
passing one night, whel he saw a
RACK, roadescript, heailoss animal
so from the house about lo) feet to an
old well, where it disappeared. His
horse was terribly frightened AMI came
near throwing his rider.
a young lady who had taught school
in the district ard bearded around
stayed there a coupe o. days, but could
not control her nerves any longer.
There was heavy door that led to her
bedroom. which she locked and bolted.
but after she had retired she heard
footsteps and the door would fly open.
She heard clanking chains and noises
like the falling Of clods upon a coffin.
She told the hos ess, but the latter in
sisted it must be her imagination. But
the cd we'll was filled up one summer
and another was dug.
The old house has been torn away
for many years and a new, smart farm
house occupies the site.
Since the war there have been no
well -authcnticated ghost stories. But
in the old times many an old man
and Young one too, for that matter
who had occasion TO go from Hilisdale
10 Copake after dark, took the west
road and gave that spot the go-by.
At one time that place stood higher
than any one Of a half dozen in that
vicinity in folk lore. 1t had its story
of disappearing peddler, which used
to be ascribed as reasons in many
cases. But who he was and when he
disappeared there is probably no one
living that can to-day tell. except from
unreliable he.rsay.-N. Y. Herald.

PARROTS ARE SHY.
The Most Garru;ous Birds on Earth
Shy Before Purchasers.

People expect to come into bird
store and open up a conversation with
a parrot OIL HAND. They fail, and then
make up their minds that the parrot
is worthless. This will apply to III ;
majority Of people. They do not give
the bird credit for the intelligence it
actually possesses. There are parrot ;
in st. Louis valued at from $50 to $50
that will not be coaxcd into conveTsa-
ton with a stranger. and yet they are
among the best takers eXtant.
The birds often refuse to perform"
when there arc purchasers looking on,
but once the store is cleared of people
they will chatter away as though their
very life depended on their being
heard, The majority Of parrots will
take TO a girl OF woman much quicker
than to one Of the Steiner sex.

PAYS to Raise sheen


The Dell Rapid Times of last week
contained the following interesting
item
Last week Mr.. Cotton started
from Baltic with two car loads OF his
sheep for Chicago. but stopped over
at Sioux City to feed them and there
found purchaser with whom he
made satisfactory terms. AMI the re.
suit was he returned last Thursday
with 81, IT'S dollars in his pocket as
the proceeds of his sale. The Sioux
City Tribune makes the following
mention OF the matter: Last even
ing J. E. Cotton, OF Taopi, s. D., came
in with lS4 head of sheep, the finest
lot ever placed upon the Sioux City
market. They we're sold this morn
on the market at S5 to $3.50 and
averaged 12e pounds. The sheep
were raised and fed by Mr.. Cotton on
his farm in Minnehaha county and
plainly showed the adaptability of
South Dakota for the sheep industry
when in the hands.of intelligent per-
sons. Mr.. Cotton has handled sheep
more or less for the past ten years,
and always found them profitable
when handled properly"

Tomorrow the voters of Brookings
will be called upon to vote either for
or against voting school and city
bonds. Some voters seem to think
by voting bonds it will increase the in
debtedness OF the city and cause an
increase in the taxes. Such is not the
case. At present the city and school
district have outstanding warrants
to the amount OF $40, 900 which bear
II per cent interest. The purpose OF
voting bonds is to secure money
enough to take up the warrants. The
bonds will draw but six per cent, thus
causing q saving of 81 200 per year to
the city. The voters will readily see
that this will tend to cut down the
taxes and place the finances OF the
city and school district on more
substantial basis. BY all means vote
in favor of the bonds.

was ready to let the liquor dealers
off easy If they would 'whack up ,"

lutte forgery and was produced for
buncom at the time the resubmission
bill was being discussed. Those who
saw the letter and who know Haber's
handwriting state that it does not re.
semble his penmanship."
REPORTER" What is Haber doing
ut present ?"
Mr.. k" He is assisting in con-
victing the unlawful dealers in liquor
at Pierre and the prosecuting attor

alone should convince people that

"rhat the sheep raising industry is

fit for breeding and wool raising pur-
poses. Inquiries are becoming more
