AT A GHOST PICNIC.


A fine moonlight evening with the
barometer at a satisfactory altitude
is one Of the essentials for this form of
entertainment. On the invitation
cards guests should be notified that a
white costume Of some description is
necessary. It may be silk, satin or cot
ton, according to the fancy or means
Of the wearer, but pure white, without
spot or blemish, it must be.
Since it Is not every one, especially
among the matrons, and Of course all
the men, who is in possession Of =
white costume. some OF the shifts to
which the guests will resort will be
sure to add UNNECESSARILY to the mer-
riment of the occasion. So much the
better; = ghost" picnic should be
wildly hilarious. The scene of the
gathering should not be fixed too far
from home, and should be chosen, to
some extent, on account Of its easy
access. Instead Of arranging . pre-
liminary meet, as at the ordinary pic
mic. the guests should find their way to
the place in family groups or singly,
as the case may be. It will, of course.
depend upon the individual humor of
each guest to make his or her appear
ance on the scene as "ghostly" as may

DIAGRAM OF ROAD.

"a, Plank Wheel Track Riveted to Plank
Ties: B. c. Gravel or Earth Road Bed.l
should be used in its construction. In
the first place, see that the ground il
sufficiently raised to prevent water
from accommodating on the roadbed
Then grade to level surface of suffi-
cient width for = roadway; place
crcss-ties six and one-half feet in
length. eight inches wide and two and
cne-half inches thick. at proper dis
tances to receive the planks for the
wagon tracks; drop the cross-ties so
that the top of them will be on a level
with the surface of the ground; then
place the track planks in their proper
position and secure them to the ties
with heavy iron spikes; leave four feet
space between tracks for team; grade
up between and at the sides to level
with the surface Of the track with fine
gravel or good quality of earth, and
roll down with heavy roller, and you
will have a good road in wet or dry
weather, and free from dust in sum-
mer; also . good bicycle path. With
occasional light repairs, it will last
TO- many years.
No special length Of plank il re-
quired for track. as 1t may vary from
to IL to 16 feet, as most convenient
Estimating the material at market
value, the cost will be trifle over one
dollar per rod. Many districts could
furnish oak timber for the nIauk that
are destitute of proper quality OF
stone for crushing, or even good

LETTER PERFECT.
An AAbltieus YounE Solder Wa
Thought He Was Born
t. Command.


Elmer Campbell was the greenest and most
!ment of Tigers. The young man was the
best type Of the "hay-foot, straw-foot" sol
der in the ranks, and yet he was more anx-
ious than anyone tQbecome an officer.
He pleaded with the colonel 90 long that
the latter finally told him if he would secure
Z book on tactics and master it he should
have the first chance to show what he could
do when there was vacancy among the off.
GERS. Campbell bought book on tactics
and stayed up late at night to learn its con.
tents.
Forward. column right Tor left, - the
case may bel, march"
That was the form Of the orders in the
book. Campbell learned these by heart,
parentheses and al. He even committed the
explanatory notes to memory. He was mas
ter of that book of tactics and military life
began to take on roseate hue in his eyes:
One day the colonel called the men out for
drill and told Campbell he could try his hand
at giving orders if he wished. Campbell
wished" and Immediately took the posi-
tion opposite the head Of his column, which
the book had told him was the proper thing
to do. Then he swelled his chest trifle, and
with blush Of pride called out:
Forward. column, right or left, a. the
The column prepared to turn right as that
word was uttered. but when "left as the
case may be" reached the ears Of the men
they stood stock still. Then, as the situation
explained itself, hearty laugh went all
along the line. The colonel QUOTED the
commotion, walked over to the recruit. and
made few earnest remarks in Campbell
ears.

be. Some will ride cannily by hedge
and bridge and take the assemblage
unawares. Some will work wonders on
old machines with white paint, and
Japanese lanterns 1T the handlebar
will proclaim their advent to al and
sundry.
The chief item of the programme
should be the supper and this should
be as dainty as possible, and as vir-
ginal in hue as the culinary art can be.
Aerated waters, white meat sand
witches, cakes, sweets and fruits, the
latter in any hue obtainable, should
be served by white-robed landmarks,
on white ware. The glamour Of a moon
light night in . sylvan glade will be
likely to suggest its own method Of
killing time, therefore active forms of
entertainment need not be suggested.
Dumb charades would probably sug-
gest themselves to the more histrion-
ically disposed, and If enacted in su-
perstitious neighborhood would prob
ably tend to enrich the local folklore
and dissipate the popular belief that
the ''little people" have ceased TO re-
veal themselves to mortal eyes.-Chi-
