A Strange Apparition.

A visitor from the old Bay
State, who is boarding al
Southern Pines, recently had
a singular experience. One
day as he entered his room,
which he supposed was occu>
pied only by himself, he was
surprised to find lying on his
bed what appeared to be the
form of a human being. It
did not stir as he entered or
show any signs of life. It
was clothed and motionless,
as if it had been a person
asleep, but there was no
movement as of respiration.
and if it had ever been a real
live person it was soon evil
dent that it had lost all pow>
ers of speech or motion.
How long the Bay State
visitor looked at this appari>
ton we were not informed,
but we did learn that before
very long there was such a
commotion in that house as
had not been seen for many a
day; and far distant will be
the day when they will look
upon it's like again. The vis>
itor cried out Justify for the
landlord and landlady of the
house to come and restore or
bring to life, if possible. the
image or person that surely
now breathed no longer. For
reasons that q witness of the
scene could readily have un>
derstood, the visitor hesitated
to touch the apparition; but
being reasured, as members
of the household made their
appearance, our Bay State
friend quieted down after a
time, and became satisfied
that no harm would come to
his room or to himself by the
presence of the singular occu>
pant of his bed. He soon
became master Of the situation
and took possession of the
strange intruder locked it up
for safe keeping and declares
it is to be his intention, if he
can get a trunk large enough,
to take his prize home with
him to Massachusetts,.
The affair described in the
foregoing paragraphs happens
ed on the first day of April,
1899.

fornia, 1861. Here he found
mine which he sold for $4,000, which
was MS first capital for dealing IN min
ing properties. From Calico he went
over to Arizona, and in two years he
located a base ore mine--a chloride
proposition, as miners say-of silver,
gold and lead in combination. When
silver was more valuable than 1T is at
present his income was over $4,000 a
month. He invested his profits in the
Clifton and Haruua Hala mines, and
doubled his wealth in a few years.
From that time he has been prospecting
rapidly. But he has never changed his
manner of living.
He is over 60 wears of age and is in
fine health. He wears the cheapest of
trousers, heavy cowhide boots and very
often overalls, held up by a leather belt.
He lives alone lin a abin. cooks his
own meals of f1aptacks, pork. bacon
and oatmeal over a 50 stove. and sleeps
in a bunk of redwood filled with straw,
with a covering of blankets. His
amusement lie corfined IN playing nedro
or scent cigars. and If he can win a
pocket full in the course of an after
noon he is ioyfuI for several days.

cannot read or write indeed he cannot

knows cattle raneinp in Arizona better
than he. He has a wonderful memory,
an iron constitution and a quick sagac-

of cattle raising and profitable ranges,
1t is said he knows at sight over 4. 600
cattle brands, some of which he does
not see once in five or six years.
He was reared on the border of civili-

has a wife and five children. The fam

How a Women Kept Herself supple ed
With the Drug at a Sanitarium

A Chicag physician gives this ac-
count of a colleagues recent medical
experience to the Tribune of that city:
Il could give you the name Of the pa =
tient," he said, but that would be a
breach of professional confidence, and,
anyway it is not essential. She was di-
vorced, but, l hear, has married again.
She is good looking, clever, rich, and
quite well known in society, but for a
long time was addicted to the use of
opium. The habit became so strong
that her relatives advised her to go,
under an assumed name, to a santtar-
ium for treatment. She refused until
they threatened to have her committed
to some asylum for the insane, when
she sullenly yielded, taking a nurse
with her.
THE sanitarium doctors were sur
prised to note that she did not seem de-
pressed, as are most patients during
the first few weeks of abstinence from
the drug. One day the doctor said TO
her: You don't seem to miss your
opium
No she said, with a smile, 1T did
not have such a hold on me as |
thought.
Later however the doctor discover
ed by mere accident the cause of her
cheerfulness. One of the regular at
PENDANTS caught her in the act of TAX
ing opium. When he asked her where
she had obtained the drug she refused
to tell. But after little urging she
confessed that she had brought a sup
ply with her.
The matron searched the room, and
when she came to the office TO report
she had strange story. The woman
had hidden little packages of opium in
| every conceivable part of her dresses
| There was opium in the sleeves, in the
! rufties in the lace, in the lining and
in he
stwed inside her garters and in her
undergarments. She even had opium

this opium to her in such a way that

AMUSING eLuNoeRs.
Some Good Specimens of What Is Called
an Irish Bull.

From the Youths Companion.
In Sir M. Grant-Duff's diary there are
some amusing stories of mistakes in the
house of commons. A loyal Irish men,
Der once exclaimed with fervor, Sir,
/ acknowledge the venerable widow at
Windsor to be the foremost man among
her subjects"
The London Spectator not long since
published a collection of modern Irish
bulls, some of them perplexing enough
from their singular topsyturviness of
meaning: but the English pea sant is as
apt to give a hazy answer as'hts Amer
lean cousin.
An American, strolling through the
Green park in London one day last
summer, asked one of the gray old
guardians of that bit Of historic wood
land who lived in a stately palace near
Stafford house.
It's Lady Blank lives there. She re-
moved to Scotland yesterday to be bur-
led" was the reply.
You have a miraculous rose-tree in
Wells that blooms at EASTER" the same
American asked an old farmer
Aye, we have. Only it's not a rose,
but a thorn, and it blooms on Christ
mas, and not Easter, and it's growing
not at Wells, but at Glastonbury" was
the answer
Frederic Harrison defines a good style
In writing to be first clearneSS OF idea,
and next clearness of expression.
Bulls and mistakes such as these are
the result of hazy ideas or excitement in
speaking. The American, with his nim-
BILE brain and habit Of ready speech,
seldom makes such mistakes. His err
rors are usually born of ignorance or
hasty generalzing, such as was the re-
ported question of a man in Washing
ton soon after Dewey's victory. How
