THEY SEE A GHOST.
Prisoners in GuIlfcrd Jail Declare
They are "Haunted.''

Some of the prisoners in the Gull
ford county Jail are getting a bit
nervous.
They claim to possess an average
amount of courage and are not in
clined to be superstitious, yet they
are getting just a little shaky says the
Record.
Somewhere about the year 1870 one
"Bill" Parker, a white man, was hung
in jail there, not, however, in the pres
ent building. Some of the men nOw
incarcerated say that "Bill" has been
to see them in the dead of night, when
everything was still, save the snoring
of Long Tom" the horse in the en-
CINE house near by. 1t is declared
that when "Bill" appears it is always
with a rope dangling about his neck,
his arms pinioned behind him, but
with his feet untrammeled, and that
deadly frown on his eye brows SO well
remembered by all who know him
They even go farther and say that
just after he passes among them and
departs there can be heard the fall OF
the death trap in the Jail corridor as
if he had just been executed.
For a few days ''Bill'' has not been
around but they are dreading him.

A ostmaster who Can't Resign.

Deputy Sheriff E. L. Reed has been
a res dent of Winston about one year.
However, he is still postmaster at
Reeds, this county. He has sent in
his resignation several times but the
department at Washington has thus
far failed to recognize it. Mr.. Reed
says de doesn't know what more to
do. Postmaster Wilson has promised
to get him out of the trouble by ad-
vising Congressman Bower to have
the Republican bounced" This does
set we'll with Mr.. Reed who has
always claimed to be "Simon-pure"
Democrat. In order to get out, how
ever, he will PROBABLY enter no serious
protest against Mr.. Wilson's plan.

WHEN AMoMAN LOVES.
What a Maze Writer Says About Her
In the Home Journal.

In the Home Journal.
lives for him. writes Edward w.
Box in "At Home with the Editor"
in the February Ladies Home
Journal. From the moment she
awakens in the morning until she
closes her eyes at night q loving
wite's thoughts are of her husband.
All day she performs her duties with
the thought of his pleasure upper
most in her mind. and his image in
her heart. Nearly everything she
does is with the thought of him. If
she puts a dainty touch to a room
she instinctively wonders what he
will think of it when he comes home.
If she buys an article in the shops
that he will see, close beside her own
preference for it is the thought
whether he will like it. When she
plaas the dinner his tastes are re-
garded first. What would he like
best is her constant thought. She
dresses her children, having in mind
a little suggestion or thought which
he may have dropped days, yes, even
months ago. His color becomes her
color; his taste her taste. And even
if she does not always personally
approve of a certain thing she buys
it or she does it because she feels or
thinks it will please him. Scores and
scores of times have L seen wives lay
aside their own preferences willingly
and cheeriully because their husbands
liked something else better. His
coming home is to her the event of
the day, and it is her pleasure to
prepare for it N some way, No
matter how tired the head, how Ill
the body during the day, she tries to
look cheerful when her husband
comes home. She feels that she has
something to dress for as his home
coming hour approaches. She likes
to lay aside the house-gown she has
worn all day, and don fresh dress
for his coming 1t is pleasure to
her to wear the gown for which, at
some time or other, he may have
expressed preference; or it may be
in the dressing of her hair in the way
which she knows he likes best; in the
simple rib bon OF his favorite color;
in the wearing of a flower he likes to
see on her, or with which there may
be some tender associations; in o
touch which she deftly gives the table;
in some fayorite dish of his prepared
by her own hands; in the inviting
manner in which his house coat and
slippers are placed ready for his dom
ming; in the convenient spot in which
he finds his evening paper, his cigar
ready for his enjoyment; in short, in
the thousand touches which only
occur to woman who finds her de-
light in the pleasure she can give the
man she loves.

Colonel ThrockmortOn, with all the

viewed the scene with composure.
The storm increased in fury. The
sailors were running about, the
officers were shouting, and every
thing was in confusion. About this
stage of the proceedings the Colonel
edged over to the side OF the captain
and said:
Tell me, is there really any
danger?'
You see what the rest of the pas
sengers are doing replied the Cap
tain, they are making peace with
God. If you ever do any praying,
Colonel you might do SO with per-
feet propriety at this juncture The
vessel can't live five minutes The
next pitch or two will send her to the
bottom with all on board
"The Colonel Strengthened himself,
lifted his hat, looked up to the scowl-

claimed:
Almighty God, if you ever in
tend to do Colonel Throckmorton,
of Kentucky, a favor now il your
time to do itI'

WON THE RACE.
A Trick that Was Played Successfully
by Painter.

Mark Twain's account of the jump
ing frog which could out jump any
other frog is one of his funniest
sketches. One day a man came along
with frog and bet on him. The
owner of the new frog slyly filled the
prize frog with shot so he couldn't
jump at all, and by this trick the
stranger won the bet.
Friday afternoon there was oct
between Painter Lancaster and an
other as to which could run the faster,
the money to be spent at the Fire
mems dinner. Lancaster stuffed
rocks in his overcoat pocket and just
after he and his rival started he jump
ed upon him and weighed him down
Picking himself up he started off anew
and won the race without further ef
fort.
