tb,a nersons last seen with him was
man named Mercer or Messer. who is
known have owed Gamble consid

convict. he was released. This was in
the spring of the year, in March or April.

short cut across the meadows for home.
As Hindman walked along he became
conscious of the presence of another
walking by his side.
Presently the stranger said, II am
John Gamble, whom Ed Nesser killed. "
The apparition then gave a detailed
account of the time, place and manner
of the murder; told the place of burial
and gave other directions which were
afterward followed out, resulting in
the discovery of CANDLES remains.
Next Messer was confronted by Hind
man. who accused him of being the
murderer. Messer would not answer
to the charge the ghost had made, but
Hindman had him Indicted went into
court and swore to the ghostly inter

adduced, fixed the guilt Indelibly on
the public mind even though he conld
not be held on such ethereal evidence
Soon after, however, Messer left for
parts unknown, and is believed to have
assumed a new name. There was great
excitement in Wetzel county at the
time, and every one was asking the
question. If it was not the spirit OF

CarlyIe,. Sense of Humor.

With Carlyle, as with all persons of
his temperament, the disposition to lay
the words on strong is half sportful,
and under the gravest overstatement
lies a humorous intent. He has no
thought of being taken literally. He
means much always, but he often means
much less than he says, and he trusts
to the readers sense of humor to make
the due deduction. If the reader
chances not TO have sense of humor,
sad misunderstanding arise; but if he
have it, he comes to greatly relish the
tasks that Carlyle demands of .it.-E

Soma Oriental Stories.

The oriental Joe Miller is parent to
many tests that are still current among
us. For instance, a preacher in a
mosque began the history of Noah with
this citation from the Koran: II have
called Noah" Unluckily he forgot the
rest of the verse and repeated the same
words over again. At last an Arab ok
claimed, If Noah will not come call
somebody else" More careful was an
other preacher, who was sheik as well.
One Friday, when the muezzin rang
out the call for prayer, he mounted the
pulpit in the mosque and asked the
people if they knew about what he in
tended to preach to them. mo" they
replied. well, then, shall not tell
you, and he stepped down. The next
Friday he asked the same question,
and now, taught by experience, they
answered, Yes, we know" ''Well, if
you know, you do not need me to tell
you" and again he stepped down.
The third Friday, when the same in
quiry was made, the people said:
Some of us know and some don't
know" In that case" the preacher
rejoined, "let those of you who know
tell those who don't know" And
again there was no sermon. San Fran

How Elephants Express Their Feelings.
Pleasure is often expressed by ele-
phants in an excruciating squeak far
from pleasurable to the auditor Sat
isfied and contented the animal purrs
gently. Fear finds expression often in
a remarkable reverberating roar and
sometimes in a shrill squeak. A thor
oughly enraged elephant utters a deep
warning sound in the throat, often a
hollow, reverberating, rumbling sound.
When suspicious or desirous of giving
slight warning the tip of the trunk is
tapped upon the ground, while from
the trunk is issued a volume of air,
which at times sounds like sheet of
tin being rolled. Young or baby ele-
phants express their wants by singular
sounds uttered from the throat. An
other sound made by wild elephants is
produced by striking the trunk sharply
against the sides.
That elephants use these and other
sounds as methods of communication
or as language there can be no doubt.
