SPOOKS GUIDED HIS BRUSH.
Stranger Artist Painted "A Perfect Picture
Of His Hosts Dead Father.

Il was spending the summer on that
quaint old isle before the rush of summer
tourists had put an end to its old time
charm. | skctchcd good deal out Of
doors, but when the weather was bad
made the best Of it by working on pic
turc of the interior of one of the old houses
THE people who owned the house were
so nice to Iuc that when | finished my pic
turc | thought to repay them in part for
their courtesy by making for them a
sketch of my more ambitious canvas. For
the sake of variety however, | drew in the
figure of an old man sitting in big chair
and gazing abstractcdly into the fireplace
1t was fancy figure, pure and simple,
and drawn without model, but the face be-
longed to the type that one so often secs
along the New England coast.
But imagine my surprise, however
when | came to present the sketch to my
friends, for they drew back from it as if |
had given them something uncanny, and
the man said:
Why, that's a picture of my father,
precisely as | have seen him sitting in front
of that fireplace hundreds of times, gazing
into the Goals and thinking of the days
when he sailed out of the harbor of Nan
tuckct
And his wife bore out this statement
when she said that it was an admirable
likeness of the old man, who had died
many years before / ever visited the is
land.
Tho ncighbors were summoned in, and
every one of the people who had known
the old man recognized the likeness with
out moments hesitation. They said that
in every detail of face and figure it was as
accurate as a photograph could possibly
have been.
Now, of course it was only coinci-
dcncc, but you could never have made
any of those people think that there was
not something supernatural about it all,
and, do you know, l am more than half
inclined to think they were right. Wash

There was no cause for visitors to
steal their dinner, for there was
enough left, when everybody was
through eating to feed a regiment of
Spaniards, but as it takes all kind of

pect that even real smart people will

On Friday last, there were three
worst one being caused by landslide
of about an acre of ground, near Mary
Ann Jordan's place on East Fork
The heavy rains had started it and it
caught passenger engine No. 135, and
swept it over the bank almost cover
ing it up. Had it went few feet far
ther it would have landed in the creek,
which at that time was at flood stage.
Strange to say none of the passengers
or crew were much hurt, except the
fireman, Fred Leutner who was bruis-
ed about the head and an arm hurt
but not broken.

Bows Who Steal Rides. u.

A decision has been rendered by
Judge Pennypacker in the Philadel-
phia courts that will be of interest to
all parents who permit their children
10 run upon the streets. The decision
was rendered in the cases of Louis
Feingold, boy of years, and his
father, who both sued the Philadelphia
Traction company to recover damages
for the loss of the boys foot. The
facts were that Louis FeingOld was
stealing a ride upon car of the defen.
dant company in September, 1895. He
had seated himself upon the side step
of a summer car, and the conductor
observing him from the middle Of the
car, motioned with his finger and told
him to get off, The boy became
frightened and fell off while car was in
motion and was run over, wheel
cutting off his foot. These suits We're
then begun to recover damages, and at
the trial the court instructed the jury
to find a vardict for the railroad COM
pany. Motions for new trials were
made and it was upon these motions
that the decision was rendered. The
plaintiffs counsel contended that ii
was the duty of the conductor to stop
the car and see to it that the plaintiff
was put down gently and in such a
way that he could not hurt himself
Judge Pennypacker says that to hold
that such duty exists is in effect to
say that the cars are run for the benefit
of trespassers.
