In few moments Maggie returned,
flushed and confused, yetdeclaring she had
nothing to tell All evening, however,
Franks face wore triumphant look that
told of some secret understanding.
Some one suggested sowing hempseed.
Now. as had taken part in every trial and
hal such mass of contradictory predic-
tions dealt out to me, 1 felt like making
one final and daring experiment, and vol
unteered to 20. Taking my little pail of
hempseed, went ont alone into the dark

snow made every object appear weird and
unnatural. went to clump Of pines,
which seemed q fitting place for the in

the words, "Hempseed, SOW thee; hemp

solved the mystery Of my ghostly visitant.
But the clock struck 12, and we knew
that it summoned the spirits back to their
places, so the guests prepared to depart.
Then we realized that other representatives
of impish power had been at work--in
other words, the boys of the neighborhood.
Harness had disappeared, carriage wheels
were carried off. Hideous faces grinned

The two Saltus boys, Edgar and Francis,
distinguished as they are by literary gifts,
though of different kind, were only half
brothers. Mr.. Saltus, ST., is the father of
both boys, but the mother of Edgar was
not the mother of Francis, Mr.. Saltus hav-
ing married twice. Where they get their
literary gift is something that is topic of
interest among the family friends. The
mother of neither of them had any such
tastes, and the father was busy merchant
in New York for many years, caring but
little for literature until he discovered that
his two sons had the literary talent. Fran

"They're a right, JEAN" was the glad
answer. Growing here and there in crew
ices Of the room were thick punches of
the common liveforever. Grandma had
planted them in the room on midsummer
night, one for each child in the home, then
locked the door, not to be opened until
Halloween, when, as the plant, so should
the life OF each be for the coming year.
Each of the seven punches was, as Pete de-
clared, "Good for hundred years, grand
ma"
When the guests were assembled they
were led to the dining room, where well
filled table awaited them. The principal
dish was boiled wheat All day long Mag
gle had watched that kettle of wheat, not
deigning to give her reasons for preparing
the really palatable but uncommon fare,

Meanwhile the huge, soft, good natured
school teacher, whose friendship has been
my bane and amusement, tried to give us
some Halloween lore. SIT comes from the
time of the Druids," he said to me in a
loud confidential whisper, intended to
draw all to his words. "On that night
they used to gather in the forests and ON
the plains, building great fires, around
which they performed terrible rites, sacri-
fees were offered, and the aid of the true
God invoked against the spirits OF evil"

The late deceased had been clerk of the
supreme court of the District of Columbia
nearly twenty-nine years. He was born
April IA, 1901, in Clarke county, KY, and
on reaching manhood moved to Tennessee
and became lawyer in Nashville There
he was often consulted by Andrew John
son, who was governor of the state in 18' A.
1857. When the civil war began, Mr.. M, gs
removed to New York, and on the 90, of
March, 1868, was appointed clerk of the
district supreme court by President Lin
coin. He resided thereafter in Washing
ton, and was able to fill the Office accept
ably till within a few days of his death.
His digest of the laws of Tennessee was
once leading work in the west, and was
much used in the newer states, especially
Missouri. He left five sons, of whom
Joseph V. is well known inventor.

France is the latest nation to take up
the antiforeign cry and complain that
strangers are seizing the birthright of
citizens. There are now 10000 aliens of
divers nationalities scattered about the
country, so the Chauvinists assert that
these foreigners absorb the work which
should belong to the natives, or undersell
them. Further, the French say that the
foreigners. make fortunes in France and
then go home to spend the money. Bel
gians are the most numerous, Swiss and
Italians holding the second and third
places, while Germans stand fourth. Great
Britain contributes 5,224 men and 1868
women to the French population. Besides
her hospitality toward aliens, France is re-

He met Miss Townsend some time ago
and acquaintance speedily ripened into
mutual affection. Official duties inter-
fered with the original plan for the we'd
ding, and that the groom might not be de-
layed in his journey to Toxic, the ceremony
took place in New York instead of at New
Orleans The lovers met in the former
city the other evening, and accompanied
by the parents of the bride, Mr.. and Mrs.
Gideon Townsend, and a few intimate
friends, proceeded. to st. Patrick's cathe-
dral, where they were united by Rev.
Father Murphy.
After the ceremony they drove to the
train and began the long trip by rail to
Vancouver, and thence by steamer to the
Land of the Rising Sun. Sonora Rascon's
trousseau came from Paris, and is of the
most costly aud tasteful description. The
presentation robe to be worn when she is
introduced at the court of the mikado has
train of white brocade lined with rose
rep silk The dress itself is of white satin,
the point lace covering is looped with
clusters of red ostrich tips, and the square
corsage is trimmed with pearls. Many
gifts came from friends in South Carolina
and Louisiana, and the groom's offerings
included a superb collection of diamonds
| and title deeds to one of his Mexican
estates.
The announcement THAT Nine. Barrios
has decided to doff her weeds was received
with considerable surprise by fashionable
New York. The widow of the Guatemalan
president was supposed to object to second
marriages on principle, and since her hus-
bands tragic death she has been an "icily
beautiful" figure in New York society,
watching over her children, assisting at
various exclusive functions and doing her
duty in many ways as the owner of vast
wealth, but resolutely frowning on all ad
vances that had about them hint of mat
rimonial intention. Her grace, loneliness,
musical attachments and romantic history
gave her vogue such rs is secured by few
women, and although she never sought
publicity, she has received mention time
and again by almost every paper in Amer
lea and England.
A while ago she went abroad, and during
a sojourn in Spain met Martinez Roda,
member of the Spanish parliament from
Granada. Senior Roda is about thirty-five
| years old, man of repute in public life
and an orator whose diction CLOVIS with
all the fervid eloquence peculiar to the
sons of the Latin races His handsome
