GHOSTS


TFrom Myron Reeds Sermon.1
Samuel Johnson said he did not be
lieve in ghosts; he had seen too many
of them. But if a man viii not believe
in anything beyond the graveyard 1
would be glad to see him believe in a
ghost. It is a starter. 1t is 4 Wakener.
The child's fear of a graveyard at night
has something good in it. He has the
impression that the people out there
are not dead. and so far he is right. 1t
is the primitive, rude, crude feeling
that there is no death. Perhaps that is
the only useful thing a ghost has ever
done.
There is a ghost in the play of Ham
let but I cannot discover that he gives
any useful informa ton. And Hamlet
does not do anything on the ghosts
word.
The plays the thing to catch the
conscience of the king"
The fact is that the ghosts word is
an old suspicion of Hamlet's. What he
thinks inside he does outside. The
ghost simply states what Hamlet al
ready believes. And he states it very
much in the style of Hamlet. He is a
gentlemanly, princely, grammatical
ghost. It may be said of all ghosts that
they talk like the people to whom they
appear. They have a similar walk and
conversation. The witches who appear
to Macbeth on the blasted hearth speak
the echo of his ambition. 1t is his am
bitiOn projected out of himself and
talking back to him. Thou shalt be
king of Scotland When you have
made up your heart and mind to do q
doubtful thing you will have no rtouble
in getting the assistance of dreams and
visions to assist you.
The legend says that Constantine
marching on Rome saw a blazing cross
in the sky and these words in flame:
In hoe signO vinces." He saw his pur-
pose in the sky.The children, when they
were children, used to come down stairs
in the morning and tell me their dreams.
They were generally shreds and patch
es of their day thoughts, conversation
and play. As a rule there is nothing in
a ch1d'S dream above the level of a
child's mind. The youngest day and
night was much occupied with bears
and Indians.

SWELL RESTAURANTS.

TE.V .Smalley in Chicago Times-H Herald
The restaurants at these upper class
hotels have prices which appal an eco
nomical man from the west. A dish of
trawberries costs so cents; three boiled
potatoes are 80 cents; for a few stalks
sort of steak will cost you from 81. 80
to $3.50, and the only merit you see in
the whole scheme is that two can eat
for exactly the same price as one. 1 am
glad to note, however, that the custom
of half portions is coming in, but this is
of no use to ladies, for it is applied only
in the cafes where the bachelors resort.
restaurants to figure out any kind of a
full meal for less than 81, and then it
will consist of very plain dishes. Still,
if you have the money to spare there is
a certain sense of satisfaction in feel
ing that you are getting absolutely the
very best food cooked in the very best
way which this great metropolis of con-
bly, afford, and then it may add to your
sense of importance to realize that the
great Vanderbilt lives just across the
way, and that the other Vanderbilts
are only just a square or two down
Fifth avenue, to get a glimpse of the
house of the great Mr.. Huntington, and
to realize that the great Mr.. ROckefel-
inha bits the great white marble struc-
ture just across the avenue. For all
these satiSfactiOnS you must of course,
pay; and to some people they are well
worth paying for Yet prOba bly, the

down on the BOwery is about as happy
as the millionaire who has disbursed SO
for small dinner at one of these great
Fifth avenue hotels.

SAYS GOD GAVE 1T.
John D. Rockefeller Makes No Pre-
tensions to Having Earned
His Millions

New York, June 21.-"God gave me
my money" said John D. Rockefeller to
the trustees of the Chicago university.
Most persons had been under the i'm
preston he had made it in oil. How
ever, that might seem erroneous since
he admitted under oath that he didn't
know enough about oil to earn a work
mans wages.
I am not an expert on the different
qualities of oil" said he when asked if
good oil mixed with an inferior quality
WOuId not deterlOrate. 4 really could
not answer. I am not an expert on
those things at all"
The man said to be worth $500 900, =
900 SAT for two hours in the chair that
had held his brother William a week
before He was called as witness by
whom II might be proved that the
Standard Oil trust was enabled to ship
It's crude oil over the Pennsylvania rail-
road at lower rates than the trusts
competitors were forced to pay.
With this eSta bHshed a big point will
be gained by Ladenburg, Thalman &
Co, bankers of this city, who were in
the oil business dozen years ago, and
are suing the Pennsylvania Railroad
company for $178.45 alleged overcharges
the hrm was compelled to pay by rea-
son of what is alleged to have been IN
just discrimination.
MI Rockefeller not only did not en-
Hghten the lawyers much about oil, but
left them in like ignorance of what he
knew ABOUT many other things. To
every material question he would say:
Il decline to answer upon advice of my
counsel or I do not recOllect'' His
lawyer explained that no insult was in
tended, but that he held that the ques-
lions were irrelevant and inpudent It
was attempted to show that such tao
ties had been characteristic of the
Rockefellers for many years. His ac-
tons will be passed upon later

are six acres of Already two miles from
Emporia and the much blessed man who
own these acres is Fritz Richter. He
has lived there half generation. He
and his wife have brought up a family of
fOur-two stout, handsome girls, and two
smart, industrious boys; they have made
a good living and have little nest egg
laid by and owe no man a dollar, and
every penny of their income has grown
out of these six acres. But they don't do
business as the average farmer does it.
To begin with Fritz puts up all his own
meat. He Kills and cures his hogs; when
his family feels like a little fresh meat
would go pretty well, he kills fine black
Iangshang chicken or one of the boys
bags a rabbit or a squirrel. Mrs. Richter
puts up peaches, plums, apricots, cur
rants, gooseberries, cherries and apple
butter. She puts down dried vegetables
of all sorts. A chicory bed furnishes
good, fair substitute for coffee, and Fritz
raises his own tobacco. The grape arbors
furnish "a little wine for the stOmach's
sake and four outdoor cellars. or dug
outs, are filled with years supply of
potatoes, onions turnips beans, pump

gives a hint of what Fritz's horse will
have this winter, and the corn down by
the timber, will fill out the bill of fare.
A litter of pigs fenced up in the barn
yard are the evidences of ham and eggs
not seen and the substance of next years
pork and greens hoped for. Fritz says
he pays for his extra blowing with pigs.
He rarely uses cash for anything.
He has no account at any store in
town. He never asks for credit. He has
never had any canned goods in his house.
He has never bought a pound of cured
meat. He buys less than dozen things
at the grocery-sugar, tea, little coffee
for Sunday-hour, meat, salt and other
staples.
Richter pays $2.99 taxes. He is road
overseer and has been for years and
makes $3.50 a year out of that. This is
the biggest lot of cash he has coming in.
He does not live stingily. His boys and
girls are as well dressed as those of his
neighbors. They don't go gallivanting
around the country in a top buggy with
a mortgage on it. They have lots of good
things to eat and they have as good an
education as anyone-and more than that
they know that their parents are absO-
lutely Independent.

BRYAN's HOLD ON HIS PARTY

Indications that William Jennings
Bryan has the complete mastery of the
Democratic party are multiplying
daily with the assembling of the party
conventions in various parts of the
country Early in the current year
Mr. Bryan took occasion to declare that
the party could not afford to abate one
jot from the Chicago platform Of
1886
This declaration was in the nature
Of q challenge to the Palmer Buckner
wing of the party with the evil
dent purpose in view OF determin-
ing who constitute the Democracy.
Not only this, but it was moreover an
earnest of sincerity and good faith to
the Populists.
Following Mr.. Bryan's lead the Dem
ocrats OF Ohio have published call
for their state convention, and in that
call they give an exact and unmistak-
able description of what a Democrat in
good and regular standing under the
present management is. The Ohio Dem
ocrats say that those men are Demo-
Gratis and entitled to be represented in
a Democratic state convention who
voted for Bryan in 1896 and are still
loyal to the Chicago platform. or who,
voted in 1896, do now believe in and
support the Chicago platform. Any
body who fuIflls either of these con-
ditions is a Democrat; and nobody else
is a Democrat or can be until he de-
clares himself ready to stand on the
Chicago platform.
When the county convention met at
Cleveland last week an attempt was
made to limit the resolutions to an in
dOrsement of the money plank of the
Chicago platform, but it was voted
down overwhelmingly and that docu-
ment was adopted in its entirety. The
same course has been followed in New
Jersey and the gold Democrats have
been cast into outer darkness.
The upshot of all this is that any
Democratic organization which refuses
or omits TO reaffirm the Chicago plat
form thereby loses its indispensab BILE ere
dentials of Democratic orthodoxy.
Even Tammany Hall is Democratic
only if it sticks to the Chicago plat
form.
The ability of Mr.. Bryan to mold the
organization to his viii stamps him as
its leader, not only now but in 1900 and
renders any doubt of fusion with the
other elements which supported him in
. 1895 remote contingency.
This action of the Democrats through
out the country can hardly fail to have
its effect on the meeting of the Popu-
lists which is about to be held at Nash
vile. That meeting seems destined to
be barren of important results
If the recent allies of the Peoples
party had shown any disposition to
waver the Nashville conference might
be fraught with important conse-
Quences, but under the existing circum-
stances those who assemble there seem
fated to occupy about the same relation
TO the POpulist party machine that the
Indianapolis convention of last year
bore to the Democratic machine

Kentucky Court Deals a Hard Blow
to Building and Loan Associations

Louisville, June 81. By decision of
the appellate court, all the building and

knocked out or hopelessly crippled. The

have been paying from u to II per cent
in dues and interest are entitled to re-

thing to stop the discharge and ease
the pain, but his treatment did not
cure her and we were sorry to see
She Grew Worse
instead Of better. The top of her
head broke out with scrofula. A
crust would form on her head and fall
off, taking the hair along with it,
and this continued for two or three
months, when something seemed to tell
me to try Hoods Sarsaparilla, and L
did so, together with Hoods Pills
and Hoods Olive Ointment. Soon
