1t was about 4 o'clock. They had both

their studies. AS soon as Wynward saw
the mysterious stranger he became very
agitated. 81 never Sir John Sherbroke
used to say in telling the story afterward,

seemed Q go into the bedroom. They
followed him and found that there was

from mutual friend asking him to break
to Wynward the news that his favorite
brother was dead. BE had died on the
day and at the very hour on which Wyn.
ward and his friend had seen his spirit
pass through the apartment.
There is one point that occurs to one on
reading this story. Did the young man
die in England Mt o'clock in the after
noon on the day in question or did he die
at the hour that the clock would hive
pointed to in England when it was p.
m. in Canada? Ina good many of these
stories the difference of time at different
parts of the world seems to be ignored.
The story. however. seems to have plenty
of evidence to rest ON. 1t was published
in 1928 by. Mr.. Jarvis in his Accredited
Ghost Stories" and there is note to the
effect that relation Of Wynward's had
read it and stated that in oil important
circumstances it was strictly true. Then
the author says that Sir John Sherbroke
often told the story, and Sir John lived
for some five years after the book was
published. In discussion in Notes
and Queries writer who seems to have
known the family bears witness to the
correctness of the story. One important
point is that after the apparition had been
seen and before the news had come out
Wynward and Sherbroke spoke freely to
their brother officers of what they had
seen. Household Words.

That many nauseous weed OF wrong

Fer evil is good that has gone astray.
And sorrow is only blindness,
And the world is always under the sway

And sin is only the souls mistake
In misdirccting Its force,
And love, the faircst Of all fair things
That ever to man descended,
Grows rank with nettles and poisnous stings
Unless it is watched and tended.

issued yesterday at the Ashland House
Samuel Gompers, president OF the
American Federation of Labor and vice
president of the Cigarmakers' Interna-

dent of the United Mine Workers, chal-
lenged Theodore j. Shaffer. president of
the Amalgamated Association of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers, to prove his
statements recently made against them.
The letter to Mr.. Shaffer says in part:
There was sent out by the Associated
Press and published in the New York
papers statement purporting to ema-
nate from you. in which grave charges
and insinuations are made by you
against the undersigned.
There is no doubt III our minds that
the statements referred to We're made
by you, and assuming this to be so we
believe that you should be afforded the
amplest opportunity of demonstrating
the truth of your charges and insinua-
tions.
I'VE believe that you should be af-
forded the fullest latitude in justifyiitg
your course and your charges and at the
same time pillory us if we deserve 1t. On
the other hand you will realize the inn
possibility of our allowing your charges
and insinuations to go broadcast and
stand unanswerable and unchallenged.
Believing that your charges and IN
situations should be substantiated or
refuted, to that end we submit the fol-
lowing proposition to you:
"Frst-That a committee of three
shall meet either in Pittsburg, Wash
|ington, d. c., or the city of New York
for the purpose of hearing and determ-
lining the charges and insinuations you
have made against u.s.
"Second-That II the committee finds
us guilty of your charges and insinua-
tons we Will resign from the preei-
dency of the American Federation of
Labor, and the vice presidency of the
Cigar Makers international Union;
from the presidency of the United Mine
Workers of America, and from the sec
5ond vice presidency of the American
Federation Of Labor.
"Third-That the committee shall
consist of three members of organized
labor. to be selected by you from lists
herein submitted"
A long list Of names of labor leaders
Is here given and Mr.. Shaffer's atten-
ton 10 called to the fact that care has
been taken to omit from the list the
name of any member OF. the executive
council OF the American Federation of
Labor or of any representatives of any
organization of which any member OF
the executive council is member.
The letter concludes:
We can not imagine that YOU would
make grave accusations against US
without generalization as to their con-
sequences; we. therefore, insist that in

gard to the interests which both you
and we represent, you viii advise US at
