THREE ENGLISH GHOSTS.
The Lady In Cream" and Man with

The Lady In Cream" and IL Man with
n Beard.
There is hardly a castle OF ancient
manor house in an England that has
not some ghostly tradition connected
with it, says the New York World. In
some mansions the spectres are said to
stalk and gibber and shrek night after
night, while in others they appear only
at long intervals. The latter seems to
be the case at Clandon house, near
Guildford, which belongs to the earl Of
Onslow, but which Is at present let by
him to q tenant. Here tho ghosts, for
there are three Of them, have but re-
Gently made their appearance, and,
though they seem quite familiar with
the centuries-old structure which they
inhabit, no one Of this generation has
been able TO recall anything about
them. Tho first Is that Of beautiful
lady, richly attired In cream-colored
silk robe and wearing profusion Of
great jewels. Sometimes she covers the
cream-colored silk with black cloak,
and occasionally she carries q dagger
or q tumbler in her hand. All the do
mestics say they have seen her many
times, and the under footman stoutly
maintains that he once saw "the lady
in cream" take book from the library
shelves, o1d, after glancing through It's
pages, carefully replace il. The second
spectre is more terrifying, for II APP
pears in the form Of very ugly female
black dwarf, with glittering ring in
her nose. and whose dress indicates
a condition Of servitude. She always
bears in her hand lighted lantern. A
rough-looking man makes UP this
phantom trio, and he has o great beard
that Is evidently the pride and Joy Of
his ghostly existence. He Is not SO often
seen as the lady In cream and Der hide
GUS companion, and has the bearing OF
one oppressed by y great sorrow. A lady
apiritualist has had the hardihood to
visit the house and converse with the
cream-colored apparition who, 1t is re-
ported, related to her as sad a story as
ghost ever told In her time she had
sinned. she said, and her husband found
her out. Fle accordingly bribed the
black dwarf, his wife's attendant, to
kill her mistress, which she did, and
she has ever since been going about
with lighted lantern looking for for
givenesa. The appearance of these
ghosts has caused great excitement in
The quiet country nelghborhood, and
many people besides the domestios
claim to have seen all three.

Japanese and Opium.

A Japanese native paper states that
Judgment was recently given by the
Yokohama local court in the case OF
Tel Keihe, Chinese residing at its $50
settlement and Misawa Hatsugord, a
naturalizcd Japanese OF Chinese birth,
who were arrested while INDUCING in
the use Of opium at the residence of an
other Chinaman named Ryo-zei. Ryo-
zei was sentenced to hard labor for six
years for having sold the opium and
two others to major confinement for
two years. Remembering much of the
medical evidence given before the COM
mission in India, what perverted no.

Coffee Crazy.

At Fort Dodge, Iowa, Mrs. Sarah Muir
dock has bad case OF jim-iarns, al
though she never took a drink of in
toxicating liquor. For a number Of
years she has been addicted to the use
or very strong coffee, taking as many
as dozen cups at q meal and never
fewer than six. Her nervous system
has suffered terribly. She has made
numerous attempts to break herself OF
the habit, but without success. A few
days ago she resolved TO make desper-
ate effort to give up the beverage and
for two days she fought the Unsuitable
craving. Al the end Of the second day
came tho collapse and she suffered
every symptom experienced by heavy
drinker Of alcoholic liquors when de-
priyed OK it after long debauch. The
physician called stated that she. had.
delirium tremens and could hardly be
convinced that the patient had never
touched alcoholic stimulants in her life.
Whom the case was explained he pro-
nonneed it the most remarkable one he
had eyer heard Of. This case doubtless
will become famous one to the medical
world.

A Turnip Story.

John F. Cooper of Winamac, Indiana,
has huge turnip. Tho actual meas
spement around the turnip is four feet,
IN diameter thirty-six inches, and in
height it stands three feet and weighs
over 120 pounds. Mr. Cooper states
when he was boy, back in 1899 he re-
members full we'll Of hearing his Uncle
Charlie Wait tell OF where he had hid
den some turnip seed In the hollow of
an old white oak tree just back Of the
creek behind the sand hill. During the
last hot spell he noticed the old tree
was topping over and he went to see
what caused the trouble. There he
found that turnip growing inside OF the
tree and lifting it almost out OF its
roots After waiting several weeks the
tree fell down and left the turnlp grow

Of him as you would of puma"
The youthful speakers, neither being
over IS, were cantefing leisurely across
that remarkable pampa region lying be-
tween the Parana and Paraguay rivers,
the Gran Chaco. They were on the ex-
IRENE southern border belonging to the
vast estate of Manuel Strain, who lay
claim to the ownership of more than a
thousand horses, forty thousand head
of cattle and nearly a hundred thousand
sheep, feeding at will on his domain
Of pampas.
Arlo Strain was this wealthy estan-
clero's only son, and his companion,
Leon Lyons, was an American boy,
whom Arlo had met and formed q
strong attachment for while he was in
this country getting his education. The
grandfather of Arlo had gone from the
United States to settle in the country
north of Buenos Ayres.
Leon had been glad to accept an In
vitation to visit his South American
friend, and never had he enjoyed him
|. self better than on his wild rides over
the pampas. How he slept at night!
And he often declared that he had
never known what It as to have an
appetite before!
It was then the season for rounding
up" the cattle. At first he had to con-
tent himself with'seeing the gauchos, or
herdsmen, as they rode down and las
seed the animals. but finally he had
ventured to join his companion in the
eXhilarating work.
1t was wonderful how these sons OF
the pampas performed their feats of
lance and lasso, but when Arlo eX-
planned that they had been trained to
1t from infancy; that long lines were
given them to practice throwing, and
that by the time they were years old
they were put on the back Of a spirited
horse, with genuine lasso to use, he
did not marvel SO much at their skill.
Arlo had acquired good deal Of that
skill and Leon was fain to believe that
few of the gauchos could Guido him,
but when he said as much the other
laughed, saying:
wait till you see what Tippo can
do. He can throw a lance farther and
lasso surer than anyone on the es-
tancias."

HIS Conscience.

Talk about conscience gnawing at
ones vitals! A Watertown, N. Y,
youngster was thrashed by his teacher
the other day for Some misdemeanor,
and when school was dismissed he
FASTENED home and skunk into the hen
house to mediate. The lads parents
waited dinner for him, and within a
few minutes OF the afternoon session he
crawled out of his hiding place and pre-
sented himself for his noon meal.
"Why, where on earth have you
been?" asked the mother in astonish-
ment.
ITO school," was the reply.
But where did you get all those
feathers and that dirt on your cloth
ing?"

his fists into his eyes, 81 was naughty

Treah Winter to Drink.

On calm days the crew Of the light
ship anchored three miles off the mouth
OF the Columbia river, Oregon, are able
at ebbtido to lower a bucket over the
side and bring UP water fresh enough
for drinking purposes. This fresh wa
ter spreads out over the surface Of the
ocean in the shape Of fan, the apex
being the mouth Of the Columbia. Ii
Ia only about two feet in depth and IL
the bucket is allowed to sink below
that depth the water with which it
is filled Is strong ocean brine. There
are not many rivers in the world with
strength sufficient to send their waters
so far out to sea, the principal exception
being the Amazon, which freshens the
ocean for twenty miles off its mouth,
ships having filed their casks with
fresh water from the Amazon when out
Of sight of land.

Fears m GI,Oat.

Mrs. Ida Hamilton has left her hus-
band, and all on account of the ghost Of
her first husband. Mrs. Hamilton
states that her first husband, Mr.. Cant,
told her before his death that If she
ever married again he would haunt her
until doomsday. She says she had q
terrible feeling come over her on the
way out to Colorado, where her second
husband lived, and could not shake 1t
off. At the wedding everybody noticed
her pallor, and she nearly tainted dur
ing the ceremony. Every time her
husband came near her, she says, she
felt nameless horror steal over her.
She could stand 1t only few days, she
says, and then, kissing his seven chill
dren, while he was out on the ranch,
left the place for Denver, and says she
Is now happy again.

A Provident Woman.

An aged spinster living in Milford,
Conn. has carefully slowed away N her
attic the timber for coffin, which she
has instructed her relatives to use when
she dies. The woman Is nearly 70
years old, but gives evidence of living
10 a ripe old age. A peculiar fact is
that she planted black walnut tree
many years ago, when she was a girl,
with the sole purpose of using its tim
Der for her coffin. When 1t was full
grown tree she hired farmer to cut
1t down, and, taking the body to a saw
mill, she had the boards sawed out,
giving full instructions as to the thick
ness, width, etc. After the work was
completed, she told her nearest neigh
Dor all about the matter. A local I'M
drtaker has been engaged to make the
coffin at her decease.

had been corrupted into Tippo, was n
tall, swarthy, fierce-loolIing native,
whom few liked, but many feared. lie
was known to be desperate fellow
when aroused, and his passionate ma
ture would brook little or no opposition.
1t was he that Arlo meant in his warn
ing to Leon, for it had been the latter's
misfortune to incur the cnmity OF Tip
po at game OF bolas the day before,
when, quite accidentally, the American
lad had won the laurels from the boast
full gaucho.
Little dreaming Of what was likely
to follow the simple affair, however,
Leon joined enthusiastically in The
wild work of cattle-hunting on the
pampas. He had never known such
sport before, and feeling his blood
races, he dashed hither and thither,
with more pluck than prudence.
1t was the agreement thas he and
Arlo should keep together, but it Is not
always easy to carry out the plans on
such occasions. Thus, toward midday,
as the latter dashed through clump of
date palms to head off bunch of cat
tie, he suddenly missed his companion.
Knowing the Importance Of quick
action then, he wheeled his horse and
glanced hurriedly over the scene. He
did not look in vain, for away to his
right he saw Leon standing over the
dead body Of his horse.
What had happened to bring about
this calamity he did not have time to
consider, for at that very mo-
ment moro startling aspect
was lent to the scene. From
Icons left, concealed from him
no doubt by the tall grass, was one Of
the Old bulls that were the terror of
the herds sweeping furiously toward
the dismounted boy. 1t was doubtful
II the enraged animal had seen the help
less victim in his pathway yet, but that
fact could not change the inevitable
result. for he was sure to catch sight
Of him soon.
Arlo was about to shout to Leon OF
his peril and dash to his rescue, when
the cry froze on his lips at the sight he
beheld on the other hand. The second
peril was nothing less than Tippo, rid
ing like the wind down upon the boy,

with his lance poised to be hurled at
his head the moment he should get near
enough to be sure of his aim. A dcnse
clump OF mimosa concealed the ap-
preaching bull from the sight Of the
gaucho.
IT Arlo failed to give his warning cry
to his friend, lie did net remain iEac-
tive, but urged his horse ahead at the
top of it's speed, and so evenly were
these onsets made that it seemed GER
tain that triple meeting would take
place at the cOnverging point.
But Arlo realized that this must
prove fatal to his friend II not to him
self, and he suddenly raised his lasso,
and with that quick, dexterous move
ment peculiar to the master OF this
plant weapon, he sent the long line
whirring through the air, the moose at
its end settling over Leon's shoulders.
Just as loud below from the bull an
nounced that 1t had seen him. At the
same moment Tippo threw his lance.
Arlo turned his horse sharply to the
right, and as the taut lasso jerked Leon
forward upon the ground, Tippo's lance
whizzed harmlessly over MIN.
And then. before the would-be muir
dcrer was aware OF his peril, the mad
dened bull was upon him, goring and
trampling him to death.
Having 'wreaked his vengeance upon
the enemy that he had found In his
path, the brute dashed on across the
pampas, leaving the two boys unhurt.
You may be sure that they were thank
full for their deliverance, in spite OF
Tippo'8 awful fate.
