A BOisterOus Ghost.

What was known as the Shepard
house on the old Bay road near Easton,
Massachusetts, was for many years re-
puted to be haunted by the ghost of a
former occupant of the house who had
hanged himself" writes Samuel s. King
don in The Ladies' Home Journal
Strange stories are told of the annoyances
experienced by various tenants at all
hours of the night, but they were never
favored with sight of the intruder. In
one of the chambers was an old fashioned
corded bedstead, and on several occa-
sions its occupant was awakened sudden
ly by finding himself on the floor, the
cords which sustained the bed having
been removed by unseen hands without
breaking or cutting. Many times the
whole family were alarmed by what
sounded like wagon load of stones fall
ing from a great height on to the roof,
threatening to crush it. These disturb
nnces became so frequent that it was
with difficulty that tenants could be
found for the house, so much dread did
people have of ghostly intruders."

Imprisoned by an Ostrich.

A guardsman in the reserve of Off
GERS who is better known for his swag-
ger than his brains had an unfortunate
experience In South Africa.
He was stationed about 100 miles
from Cape Town at a remount depot
One morning farmer stopped him as
he was taking a constitutional and
warned Him against crossing an inclos-
ure containing cock ostrich which
had become bad tempered. The guards
man said that no ostrich ever hatched
would turn him out of his way and
went on unmoved.
AS he had not returned home four
hours afterward his brother officers
were alarmed and sent out search par
ties. What was their surprise to dis
cover him lying on his back unhurt,
with cock ostrich sitting on his chest.
The bird had knocked him down each
time he had tried to rise, but could not
hurt him while he lay fiat on his back
Yet leave his enemy he declined to do
and therefore sat quietly upon him un-
til driven off by the rescue party.-Lon-

NOTHING LOST,


Not every glistening pearl OF dew 9ts
Like rich set jewel finds a rest II
Upon a rose or, nesting down,
Shrinks, modest, on its velvet breast.
Not every songster's swelling throat
Pours forth its wealth Of song to bless
Our ears, but countless carols float
Unheard in the deep wilderness.
Not every arrow finds its mark,
But sped all eager from the bow,
Too deftly feathered, floats too high,
Too lightly driven falls below.
Not every effort finds success,
But fails, as fails the archer's dart
Not every sunbeam gilds the gloom,
Nor every song may reach the heart.
Yet, though fail, mine effort lives,
And somewhere on a scroll engrossed
The glory Of my striving is,
For nothing fruitless, nothing lost
That like a seed sown Of the soul
May fall and die in desert hot,
But would have blossomed and borne fruit
Ii fallen in some fertile spot.

AN AUTOMOBILE LINE.
syndicate Being Formed in Trem-
pealeau to Operate Novel
Transportation System.

Trempealeau, Wis, April 20.--[Spe-
clal There are a number of important
places in Trempealeau county that have
no railroad facilities and have to reach
towns with railroads by the old-fashioned
method Of wagon and team; but there is
chance now that this ancient mode Of
locomotiOn will soon be superseded by a
much better one. Already Trempea-
leau syndicate is considering plans for
putting in line of automobiles to run
between towns having no railroads and
connecting with stations on the railway
line and even to compete with the rail-
roads ia the carrying of freight and pas
sengers. The plan has not yet been
fully determined upon, but it is expected
that when formulated will require
bonuses from nonrailroad towns, when a
number of automobiles will be pur-
chased, the roads be placed in good re-
pair, and daily line of from one to two
automobiles be established. The capt
tai required will probably not exceed
$4,000. The route of the line would
be from Trempealeau through GalesvilIe,
to Ettrick, thence to Arcadia. Independ-
ence, Whitehall and Blair, which will be
the temporary terminus. Connections
for WinOna would be made at Trempea-
eau later on.

To Corner Cotton.

Not content with controlling trade in
their own country, the latest effort of a
free trade trust is to corner the cotton
supply of the world. This is the task
undertaken by an English combine, head
ed by Coats Uimited) of Paisley, and
the British Fine Spinners' Co.
This trust made its first deal by secur-
ing control Of Oneseventh of the entire
Egyptian cotton crop. There is one Eng
lsh firm in Egypt that can handle the en-
tire output Of that country, and the rea-
son for wishing to do this is because Liv-
erpool has for some years been losing its
hold on the cotton market of the world.
They can always exert a greater bear"
influence upon the Liverpool market than
any other, and they fear that Liverpools
loss Of prestige means permanently high
er prices for the American cotton grower
which will, of course, affect the English
manufacturers. A Glasgow paper says:
IF the Egyptian crop can be controlled
to the extent of the requirements of the
powerful combination named, we see no
reason why the English users of Ameri-
can cotton, who are already combined in
the several associations Of employers,
should not unite, and, by agencies in the
cotton States, secure all their require
ments at the beginning Of the season,
when prices are lowest and qualities are
best. Why should a vast buying agency,
backed by the combination of the spin
ners, and controlling the market with
large financial resources, not be iastitut-
ed!'

Democratic Changes.

If consistency is any sort of a jewel,
after all, it is little puzzling to account
for the antics of some of the Democratic
newspapers at this time. Many Of these
papers four years ago were the organs
of the gold Democrats, who frankly adj
mitted that the great majorety of their
cid associates in the Democratic ranks
had wandered away after the false gods
of cheap money and there was no health
in them.
Some of these papers went so far as to
accuse the free silver wing of their party
of dishonest intentions. Others went so
far as to declare that their former COM
patriots had been seized with a wild hal
luclnation and were then roaming about
making free silver speeches from kind
of madness against which they advised
the country to protect itself by voting for
MIR. Mckinley and the gold standard.
What is so puzzling now is that these
same papers are beginning to appeal to
the public to put their trust in precisely
the same men who, according to their
own declarations, were sheer daft on the
money question four years ago. The only
difference in their mental attitude then
and now consists in their having put
by for the moment their cry against the
gold standard and taken up that against
imperialism" and the trusts"

Foreign Trade Gains.

Total exports of American products
and manufactures i'll March, as shown by
the figures of the treasury bureau of sta
tistcs, were $134,313.34S, against $104,-
559,6S9 in March of last year, S7o,514, >
1SJ in March, 1896, and S66,516,0G1 in
March, 1898. Thus last months exports
were more than double those Of March,
1898 and % per cent greater than those
Of March of last year, and larger than
those of any preceding March in our his
tory.
The total exports in the nine months
ending with March, 1900, were 81 ,053,-
49,, 675, against $947, 919, 4O5 in the cor
responding months of last year, $923,-
905,326 in March, 1897, and $515, 49,
$50 in the same month Of 1886, having
thus doubled in fifteen years and increas-
ed 53 per cent since 1898.
Exports of agricultural products are
about the same as last year, the notable
increase of more than 100 million dollars
in the nine months in question being large
ly in manufactures. 1t is apparent that
the total exports of the fiscal year 1900
will exceed those of any preceding year
in our history. Imports also show a mark
ed increase over last year, the principal
gain being in manufacturers materials,
while manufactured articles for use in the
mechanic arts also show an increase.
Thus the return to protective system
is followed by enormous gains in our ex-
ports and by increased activity in our
manufacturing interests at home, and a
consequent increase of employment and
wages.
