up the other and catch him. You bet
l wasn't going up, but Captain Taylor
he goes up one side and the skipper
the other, while l stood and looked on,
and / was very glad l did, too, for
their chase was vain. AS they
seemed to get near him he would dis
appear like phantom amid the white
ness of the sails, then appear again
above or below them, but never near
enough for them to catch him.
The skipper comes down, swearing
like Il trooper. Call all hands. Mr..
Taylor he says, lets See what rascal
is up there. If l catch him he shall
smart for it We mustered; all hands
were Oh deck, and yet there was the
ghost still up there and grinning and
pointing at us.
1t was a mystery. Everyone was
scared. The crew would not go aft to
take their wheel, and so the officers
had to steer, Pretty state OF things,
wasn't it? But there it had TO stay
for the time. However, the next night
the steward was entering the pantry
when he caught sight OF the ghostlike
form disappearing through the port,
and further search revealed the fact
that the Christmas ham had diSap-
peared also. OF course the first thing
they did was TO look up the mizzen,
but there il was again, the same as
last night. Here was another rum 90.
The ghost was hungry and had carried
away the ham-at least, so said the
steward. But / don't think lie was
quite believed. AS the Malay cook
said:
~ bet dat steward eat de ham, an
say it's de ghost. Steward, him one
big liar!'
The captain, however, had had
enough of it, and tried to shoot the
disturber of the peace. But no, not
a bit of it. The ghost had brains as
well, for every time he raised the six
shooter would show he possessed
activity also, dancing about like a
ballet girl.
At last Mr.. Taylor hit upon plan.
The skipper engaged the ghosts at
tention with the revolver while he
went up the main and down the
stays till he got just above the ghost,
and dropping bag over his head, col
Jared him and brought him to the
deck in safety amid the cheers of the
crew.
THE bag was opened, and what do
you think it was, boys? Our monkey,
Jenny, covered with white paint. She
had evidently fallen into the paint
tub, and being ashamed to be seen,
had stayed up aloft. But the ghost
hac got hungry, too, for up there N
the top was the ham bone gnawed
clean, and the steward was not 'one
big liar after all. However, the cap
tain was so angry at being fooled and
the men too, that Jenny, our former
pet and amusement found a watery
grave.
And jim? All, his was a sad case.
We had to put into Cape Town and
leave him in the madhouSe there,
where, / believe, he died. But, as we
afterWard learned, he was an escaped
convict, sentenced for marSlaughter,
and that's why he was so scared."-

AFTER MANY YEARS.
A Colored Farmer Finally Throws Of
the Yoke of Indebtedness.

A Colored Farmer Finally Throws Of
the Yoke of Indebtedness.
We happened to be in Lewis Office last
Fri day when Len Harrin, colored farmer,
brought in some cotton and was settling
his account. The book-keeper, after seeing
what the cotton came 10. announced that
Ha,vin had paid up his account IN full
and had balance due him, and then went
on and said that Harvin was now out Of
debt with Mr.. Levi for the first time in
sixteen years. He not only paid up the
balances from year to year, but his this
years account also. AS 1t tnrned out with
this colored farmer, so it is with great
many other farmers, celored and white.
For years they have been burdened with
the woke of debt, and the low prices of pro-
6uce kept them in a barely existing cond!-
ton, and had it not been for the in
du!eences of the merchants starvation
would have been the result with many.
The honest farmer realized his condition
and this year stinted himself in order to
get relief. Tue old saying that ''he who
helps himself God will help" became tru-
ism. Every man who has made su honest
effort to pay his debts had the backing oS
the merchants during the depression and
the present increase Of price Of cotton eane
along as God-send.
