come before it whether they have
any merit or not.

illegal to sell the 81, 100000 claim.

passed the senate TO employ Judge
Springer at two per cent of the
amount collected to look after this
large claim. w. o. Cox has his
bill before the lower house.
The bill granting unconditional

several individuals in the territory

JUMPED HIS JOB.
Ghost was Too Much for the,
Watchman.

learn that they were residents of a
town haunted by the spirits of the
departed. Stories of tall, white
spectre were on every lip. Some
said it was the spirit Of woman
supposed to have been poisoned,
and who suffered unknown agonies
in her dying hours, come back to
point out and if possible to assist
in the punishment OF her murder
er. Others said it was one Louis
Brown who had returned to collect
some two months rent from Mr..
Groupe, who was tenant of the
deceased Brown at the time of his
death-at any rate it was in the
building owned by Brown and still
occupied by Groupe as restau-
rant, that the ghost first made its
appearance.
When the solution of the affair
was reached the night watchman,
Moss, was found wholly response
bic for what, to him at least, were
decidedly supernatural happen
ings. Moss is a very nervous man
and can stand nothing calculated
to rack the nerves. He had of his
own accord and authority assumed
the dignity and authority of night
watchman, trusting to the generos-
ity of the merchants for his pay,
and his high handed manner of
running the town had become very
tiresome for the young men with
sporty inclinations. Accord
ingly they assembled in the
Groupe restaurant and began tell
ing stories for the benefit Of their
arch enemy, most of which were
of nature calculated to make
teach individual hair on thine
head to stand on end like the
quills of a fretful porcupine. "
Moss grew very nervous and when
the crowd began to disappear he
longsd for the dawn of the NOR
row. When the last one had gone
and the restaurant was closed the
valiant watchman took a seat on
the edge of the sidewalk, fearing
to take step lest the sound of his
feet might rouse all the dead in
the neighboring graveyard. Hardly
had he become well settled when
a low groan, broadening into a
piercing scream, and then subsid-
ing into a dismal wall, caused him
to start from his post. Truly the
cry was sufficient to startle the
bravest of men; but Moss was not
brave, neither did be stop with
being startled; he was simply par
alyzed with fright. Again the cry
reached his ear-this time more
dismal and supernatural than be-
fore, and again the watchman
shook with fright. The sound was
several times, and each
time Moss became more frightened.
Finally, as he was about TO col
lapse, some of the boys came up:
Moss told his story, and was as
sured that similar circumstance
had occurred a few years previous,
and the only cure for it was bull
let's. Though badly frightened,
the watchman consented to try TO
drive the ghost away, and at each |
sound he would empty chamber |
Of his pistol at the part of the
house affected. Ammunition fin
ally failed him, and still the ghost |
persisted in staying. Moss could |
not stand the pressure longer, and |
took up the road for home. Next
day he resigned without pay. The
boys put away the string and rosin
for future reference, and quiet

A New American Noveli.t

A new figure in American Litera-
ture is Cyrus Townsend Brady. He
was born in Allegheny City, Pennsyl-
vania, in 1861. His ancestors fought in
the army and the navy during the
Revolution and the succeeding wars,
two of them being officers of the Con-
tinental line. One commanded regl-
ment under General Scott in the War
of 1912, and died Major General.
One was killed at Antietam. Young
Brady thus inherited from his Scotch
Irish stock the sturdiest courage and
patriotism. 1t seventeen he entered
the United States Naval Academy and
graduated in the class of 1888. Ten
years ago he entered the ministry of
Protestant Episcopal Church. For
three and One-half years he was
Archdeacon of Kansas, and for four
years he has been Archdeacon of
Pennsylvania. In the recent war he
went to the front as Chaplain of the
First Pennsylvania Regiment.
Doctor Brady has written a new
romance of the War Of 1912, following
the fortunes of "Ol6 IrOnsldes," and
in it bis brilliant genius has produced
the most thrilling novel of sea life in
American literature. 1t is called For
the Freedom of the Sea, and its serial
publication will begin in THE SATUR-
DAY EVENING POsT, of Philadelphia, in
September.

Baltimore Sun.
Mr.. Pierre Lorillard, Jr. hes writ
ten a letter defending manufacture
ing trust, in which he says: n.sk
1.-The consolidation of rival manu-
featuring firms in large companies,
wrongly called trusts, has been
caused by the severe competition of

fected reduction in wages and led
to the employment of an army of

and the payment of enormous sums
to country newspapers by advertis-
inc rival factories. Of course, the
army of drummers, advertising
agents and country papers will at
lack The so-called trusts, but they
can never reinstate by legislation or
otherwise the old state of affairs.
"The revolution in methods of
conducting business has arrived from
natural causes. There is no retreat.
The enormous savings have enabled
corporations to increase the wages

No real labor is dispensed with.
1.-THE now useless army of drum
mers and advertising agents must
look to other means of support.
They cannot live longer by their
wits, but must join the active labor
of the country or become politicians
and try to excite the honest laborers
to oppose the only thing that could
ever make them independent. The
saving and industrious will invest
their savings in the stocks of the
companies for which they labor and
in time become their on masters"

BILE who made the arrest found him
hidden in a two foot high paste

Green was first arrested an hour

ing six feet one and half inches
high in her stocking feet, while
Green, in his cripple condit on, is
only twenty-three inches high.
Kathleen's mother objected to the
match and swOre out a warrant fol
her new son-in-law, charging him
with perjury in representing the
girl to be 81 years of age when he
took out the marriage license. The
constable who then arrested him
went along on a bail-seeking expe
dition, and while the officer was
not looking, Green secreted him
self in bureau drawer. Since ther
he has kept out of sight, but office

Among all the evidences of improve

more encouraging than the constant

irmities are deprived of many OF the

Of philanthropic progress is ire estab-

The road-builders' Congress and

Much Of the success OF the Congress
isattributable to the energeticwork
Of Prof. J. \. Holmes, State Geolo.
gi>t Of North Carolina, who has
been and is still doing great work
for the material development of
North and South Carolina, as well
a. the whole South, in directing the
intelligent consideration at this
time Of a problem which lies very
near the whole question Of the in
duStrial developments of the South.
The Congress just ended was
called for the purpose Of training
road-builders in the practical prob
lens of road construction, always
having in view the wiSeSt and best
expenditure Of every dollar of road
