'My medicine has been too powerful

A SPECTRAL VISITOR.
Remarkable Experience Of a Missouri
Mau,

Maa.
MoBFRLY, No., Jan. 5.-The following
incident, which is incomprehensible to me,
may be of interest to your numerous read
ers, and may elicit from some of them an
account of experiences of a similar nature,
and by this means some light may be
thrown upon a mysterious affair.
Before narratlng, l would say I am a
young man of steady habits and steady
nerves have worked hard and Travelled

night of Dec. 80, 1891, was stopping
with a relative on - street and roomed mp.
own age.
Being wearied with the trade of the day /
rested well until about a. m, when l was
awakened by a loud noise at the window
near tue head otthe bed, The sash seemed
to raise aud lower as though something
entered, snd distinctly heard footsteps on
the floor. My first thought was that a
burglar was present and 1 had best re-
main quiet and feign sleep, as l had no
means of defense, and being destitute OF
gold watch or shining dollars, had little to
fear from depredations.
[ concluded to observe, as best l could,
his maneuvers
The intruder walked boldly and rapidly
around the room, moving chairs, opening
closet doors and peering into them; also
pulling OUT bureau drawers and closing
them with such an undisguised racket that
| was amazed at his composure.
He seemed determined to arouse the &C.
cupants of the room, yet not once did he
advance toward our bed.
This l was momentarily expecting, and
as could see from the light coming in at
the windows that he was examining the con-
tents of the bureau drawers near the foot of
the bed, with his back toward US, pulled
down the cover little and determined TO
take particular notice Of his performance,
his size and costume, expecting to see man
in flannel shirt and rubber shoes, armed
cap-a.pie, and ready at any moment to lay
his hands on my throat and demand, Your
money or your life"
TO my surprise | saw no such outfit, but,
in7tead, figure that seemed phantom more
than human, large enough for grown lad,
vet under size for man, draped from the
neck to the floor in cream-colored robe or
mantle just then unearthly noises sounded
clearly from TIE direction of the door at
the head of the stairs. The specter glided
swiftly TO the door and opened it, with its
face bent outside in seeming communication
with something, yet / heard no voice or
conversation.
L seemed to me this lasted some time, and
began to wonder IL the two elder occu-
pauts Of the room below had been treated 10
such panorama as / had witnessed.
Finally the door closed with the mysterious
visitor alone in possession. 1t darted to
and fro with a swift motion; it
moved ia circles and seemed to sail

Columbus was a great man, and is known
even now for miles around, although it ID
400 years since he emmigrated and discov-
cred the U nited States. He was very fond
OF finding out things, and the roundness of
the earth like an orange or a ball is due to
him. He also made an egg sit up, which is
harder, my mother says. than making boys
do the same in church, like me. l wish my
father was more like Columbus must have

Columbus didn't have much easier time
than do though. Everybody thought he
was crazy, and several times he was incar-

things, and oace he came before large
number Of people in chains.
He fell in with King Ferdinand and Isa-
bella, who gave him enough to pay his fare
to the United States, which he went to,
though it was slow work, and some Of the
sailors said let's 60 back. but he wouldn't,

by the aristocrat of all the Russians, which
would be terrible.
Columbus was nearly three months cross
ing the ocean in three boats. He set sail
Aug. 3, 1892, at o'clock in the morning,
and the cycloD@dia says the first thing he
did was to weigh his anchor, though it never
says why. Then he sailed right ahead for
three days, when he broke his rudder and
had to 60 to Africa to have 1t fixed, which
delayed him some and the crew got mutin-
