Haunted BY : Ra..

A singular story, which the genius oi
. Hoffman or Poe might make ex
tremely effective, is that Of man in In
diana who seems to have been haunted
by an evil spirit ir the form Of q rat on
at least that is the form the idea would
probably take in the story.
Some twenty years since he was feed
ing grain in threshing machine, when
q rat ran across the floor Of the barn
where he was at work He turned tc
watch it, and allowed his hand to be
drawn into the machine in his absent
mindedness. His hand was torn Of, and
he has since been forced to make shift
with the remaining hand, which fortu
nately was the right.
A few days since, SO the story goes, he
was feeding threshing machine in the
same place, when again a rat ran across
the floor. Remembering the old acci.
dent he vented his indignation in vio.
lent kick at the animal, when his foot
slipped. he lost his balance, and in re-
covering himself he let his right hand be
drawn into the machine, and it was in
turn pulled off as the other had been.
The story is curious one, and full Of
possibilities in the way of development
of its marvellous side. It could be car.
ried a little farther, and the crowning in.
cident be made the death Of the victim
OF the malevolent haunting rat.-Bostor

A Ghost as a Witness.

There was once ''ghost in court" con-
nected with the memorable Belt case.
Since then the phantoms have not trou-
bled the high court very much. But
there is an action pending, all about q
will, in which specter forms leading
feature, and will possibly be called as a
witness. A ghost in the witness boz
would cause forensic sensation of the
first order. and would "clear the court
more speedily than the efforts of dozen
ushers. The way in which the phantom
'comes in to this particular case seems
to be that the testator. being dissatisfied
with his testamentary dispositions. revis-
tied earth by the glimpses of the moon

Lord Justice Bowen pertinently in
quired, can what ghost says to sex

bell began the difficult feat of lifting the
first potato on tiny coffee spoon.
This accomplished it is to be borne in

A New Tail for His Cow.

Several weeks ago COW owned by q
well known gentleman employed in the
lower shops of Altoona, Pa, met with a
mishap. The animal was turned out of
the stable for exercise, but in short
time she was attacked by several dogs.
They succeeded in getting hold Of her
tail, and almost tore it out Of the socket,
only short stub remaining. The ami
NAL was seriously disfgured, and the
owner conceived novel idea of fixing
her up. He visited slaughter house
near by and secured new tail and
started for his home, happy over his
scheme to save his pet animal from un-
favorable comment.
He secured the necessary tools and set
to work. The stub and new piece were
carefully worked out into good job of
doyetailing. He placed the ends to-
gether and they fitted like charm. The
Joint was wrapped and tied with heavy
string.
All worked well for a few days, but
the other morning he took the animal
out for stroll, met crowd Of friends
and stopped to explain his patent. His
achievement was simply wonderful to
his hearers. But a moment later his
labor and idea were thing of the past.
A large horseiy made its appearance
and perched upon the animals back.
The stub commenced to work and the
new end was thrown in the direction OF
the nest. Then it became detached and
landed around the neck of the inventor.
He pleaded with his friends to keep the
matter quiet, but it leaked out, and now
he is the subject of considerable fun at
the hands of his fellow workmen.-Ex-
change.
