The Corpse Spoke Up.

One of the most useful functionarIeS
OF the Long Island college hospital in
Brooklyn is Billy" the ianitor. At
tendance at clinics and operations for
many years has given the ancient serv-
itor some acquaintance with practical
surgery
In an emergency he has been known
to perform operations himself. But
with all his acquired science Billy" is
still superstitious.
In the operating room the other day
he was engaged in removing from pine
collins some new material that had
Just been received from the morgue. AS
he was opening the lid sepulchral
voice seemed to come from the interior
of the coffin and say: Let me out.
Let me out"
The janitor dropped his hammer and
ran in terror from the room. He said
he had seen an eye move Us the words
were uttered.
1t was only after BILLY" had DELHI
erately considered the number of stu
dents in the apartment and the slim
chance any ordinary ghost would have
in the presence Of so many living men
that he would consent to return.
'Sure,I never thought that Il corpse
so cold as that would be talking so
manlike. / should suppose he would
be dead" said the janitor
