A SKELETON PLAYER.

The Weird Tale of Ghostly Visitor Who
"Took Hand"
Scott Bonham tells the following re-
markable story, and as he is an attorney
and member of the board of legislation
there can be no doubt as to it's veracity:
"Some time subsequent to 1885," said
Scott myself and several young fell
lows caught the gold fever and con-
cluded to go to California and become
millionaires We reached the Eldorado
in good condition, and upon the advice
OF an Indian purchased three hundred
acres of land supposed to contain a
vein of the coveted metal. After
fruitless search for three weeks in the
bowels of the earth we returned one
Saturday afternoon to our shanty, and
after supper sat down to a social game
of poker.
"We played all Saturday night, all
day Sunday and well into Sunday
night, when terrible storm arose.
The thunder crashed around us until
our cabin seemed tottering on its frail
foundation, but still we continued to
play until the war of the elements
grew so terrific that one of our COM
panions rose from his seat, saying he
would play no longer. He had hardly
left his place when flash of lightning
more intense in its brilliancy than any
before caused us to pause in our play,
when, glancing at the face of Jim, who
sat opposite the vacant chair, my blood
almost stopped circulating at the look
OF horror on his countenance. His
eyes seemed fixed with a CLASSY stare,
and, following the direction in which he
looked, I saw sight. Seated in the
chair just vacated was a skeleton,
holding in its fleshless fingers five
cards, while before it on the table
were three or four stacks of checks
Look! 1 exclaimed, in hoarse whis-
per- The others did so, and with one
impulse we all jumped from our seats
and dashed through the door into the
storm that was still raging. Huddled
together under. large tree we passed
the night, and from that day to this
I've never played game of cards." >

ment While Visiting.
First of all you want to learn not to
stay too long There is such thing,
you know, as wearing ones welcome
out, and you certainly do not wish to
do that Then, having discovered ex.
actly the hours at which the meals are
served, you should be on time, and if
breakfast is at half-past seven and YOU
have always had it at nine, you must
still get up when the call-bell rings and
be downstairs half-past seven, looking
bright and hungry; and. above all other
things, you must not mention that YOU
have been in the habit of breakfasting
at later hour. If you have friends in
the same place and they should come to
see you and-we will put it that way
have forgotten to ask for your hostess,
suggest to them that you will go and
ask her if she would not like to meet
them. Insist upon this courtesy to her,
or else do not return the call made, and
ignore any further visits. Then if it's
house where only one maid is kept,
take care Of your own bedroom so that
you will give as little trouble as pos
sible. II some little festivity should
be gotten up in your honor turnin and,
putting your hand to the wheel, give
all the help you possibly can both be-
fore and after the party
Try and not talk about any subject
that is very personal and which will
make anyone uncomfortable; and, if
your hosts should be rude enough to
get into any controversy before YOU,
keep quite quiet, or, what is still bet
ter, If you possibly can, leave the room,
and later on refuse to discuss the mat
ter with anybody. When you go away
carry nothing but pleasant recollec.
tions with you, and forget every family
jar and every family secret that you
may have heard Then, indeed, will
you always be a welcome visitor, and
you will hear some day that your host
ess says of you: Il like Dorothy to
visit me for she is such comfortable
girl; and my husband and the children
are as glad to have her as am. Never

tion.
A young lady, who had love for
flowers, planted in one part of her gar
den selection of choice ANIMALS.
Slips of paper, with the name of each
plant written upon them, were fixed to
sticks placed in the earth. Now. it
might be supposed that those ticket
slips were of no use TO anyone; yet,
much to the surprise of the lady, two
or three disappeared every day, and
they appeared to be taken at random.
The young lady soon became vexed at
this piece of mischief, being convinced
that some one was playing trick on
her, and questioned every person in
the house and immediate neighbor-
hood, but all denied any guilty know
ledge. One morning the lady had risen
earlier than usual, and, looking out of
her window into the garden, saw a
blackbird hopping about her bed of
ANIMALS There was nothing surpris-
ing in this, but her astonishment was
great when she saw the bird seize one
of the tickets with it's bill and tug with
all it's might to get it away from the
stick; but this it could not manage to
do. Not to be beaten. the bird tried
another, and succeeded, and, flying
away, disappeared with the prize
among the branches of pear tree.
The mystery was cleared up; for the
lacy, going to the tree, saw that the
blackbird had made use of the stolen
tickets in building nest. Golden

BRAVE MOUNTAlNEERS,
Butterflies That Mount On Airy Wing to
High Attitudes,

h'Su <AltlOuucSs
Bees, the common go betweens of the
loves of the plain, cease to range about
thousand or fifteen hundred feet be-
low snow-level. And why? Because
it's too cold for them? Oh, dear, no:
on sunny days in early English spring,
when the thermometer doesn't rise
above freezing in the shade, you will
see both the honey bees and the great
black humble as busy as their convex
tional character demands of thera
among the golden cups of the first TIM
id crocuses. Give the bee sunshine,
indeed, with tenn perature just above
freezing point, and he'll fit about joy
ously on his communistic errand. But
bees, one must remember, have heavy
bodies and relatively small wings; in
the rarefied air of mountain heights
they can't manage to support them
selves in the most literal sense. Hence
their place in these high stations of the
world is taken by the gay and airy but
terf1ies, which have lighter bodies and
a much bigger expanse of wing-ar to
buoy them up. In the valleys and
plains the bee competes at an advan-
tage with the butterflies for all the
sweets of life, but in this broad subgla-
ciaL belt on the mountain-sides, the
butterflies in turn have things all their
own way. They fit about like mon
archs of all they survey without a
rival in the world to dispute their SUI
premacy. y.-Popular Science Monthly.
