Points About watermelons.

The finest watermelons in the world
are to be found in Galveston, and are
served in first-class restaurants and
special cafes in place of ice cream. There
it is the regular thing for young men to
take their girls out for watermelon. The
fruit is never sliced, but served in halves,
no matter how large tho melon or how
small the eaters. Each of the halves are
served on platter, and the only eating
utensil is u silver dessert spoon.
Salt, sugar and nutmeg are provided
for tho convenience OF those who use
seasoning. The same usage prevails in
frst-class restaurants in Georgia and
other melon centers. Outside of these,
the go-as-you-please style predominates.
The leaders Of fashion, or the quality,
usually fix the local styles. --Pittsburg
Dispatch.

summoned, who made out a death
certificate, and poor Mitchell was
quietly buried, only few knowing
the particulars. The company was
somewhat to blame for the unfor-
tunate occurrence, and the few per-
sons present were admonished to
say nothing about the affair. It
happened that Mitchell's badge was
also No. II. It was removed from
his body and is now worn by
one of the gripmen. Dummy No.
IL was never rebuilt.
''Now for the strangest part of this
tale. A few times since Mitchell met
his horrible death, on that dark, wet
night, the last car going in has seen
a strange apparition. It is the form
of dummy, and on it is always
seen the outlines of a headless en-
gineer! The illusion or whatever you
may call it, is perfect. The spectre
looks natural, but the bsholder at
once recognizes that it is not of
earth. The form of the dummy is
correct in all parts, even to the head
light. This glows with a most I'M
earthly radiance, and presents a
lucid, uncanny appearance. Some
times the spectre passes the
last car; sometimes as the car
passes over a hill, the phantom
is seen just ahead. One grip
man was scared off the road by
one night seeing the ghostly dummy
coming down towards him on the
same track, the spectral headlight
being clearly seen through the fog.
The gripman watched the approach
ing phantom in terror, until he saw
the headless occupant, when he fed
from his post, and the conductor was
obliged to finish the run. The ap-
partition is never seen when passen-
gers are carried, and the old hands
on the road believe that it's appear

dent"
"Did you ever see this spectral
gripman?" I ventured to ask, as
nervorlsly glanced down the track.
No, but the gripman on the dunn
my in front of US had an experience
with it. He will not talk to you,
however"
AS I lit a cigar, I noticed by the
flare of the match that the car was
riding on was No. 43. I swung off
at my lodgings, and made haste to
my room, as I had feeling that If
such thing as the phantom existed,
it would choose just such night to
manifest itself.
The next time I happened to ride
on car 43, the conductor whispered
as he stopped to take my fare.
"You remember that last ride we
had? Well, I saw the thing, sure,
after you left-at the end of the
track. The gripman resigned the
next morning. I will leave at the
end of this month"
He looked worn out and dis
spirited, and I determined to pat
ronize line that was not infected
with shades.

The next morning the papers con-
tanned an account of disastrous
cable car accident. Two trains at
crossing had dashed together, owing
to drunken signalman.
Then read:
'The conductor of car 43 was
taken from the debris, but the poor
fellow never spoke. He had made
his last trip"

trail to give her tears full vent. How
could she go back to True and report the
loss of Bonny? She knew the intelli.
gence would nearly kill him, so much

Down the trail came a half dozen
horsemen. Their reckless manner of
riding, as well as their general costumes,
proclaimed them cowboys. They be-
longed to Murray's "outft," in charge
of large cattle ranch over in Deer

celebrate Christmas eve in roaring
style at Finders saloon, next door to
Buffles' store.
Suddenly Jack Isley and Ben Spiker,

toward an object by the trail.
When their companions rode up they
