THE GHOSTS REVENGE.

It Furnished the Engineer and Fire
 man with . Novel Defense. Wichita Correspondent of The Chica-
 go Inter Ocean.
 The engineer and fireman said 1t was Bill Dalton's ghost that held up an Iron Mountain train and delayed 1t forty-five minutes few months ago. The Superintendent of the road said he knew better. and that the only spirit either of the men had seen was in a liquid form. and he at once suspended both men while he made an investiga- tion. The men have been reinstated. over their story.
 Dad Remington Is the engineer re- ferred to. and he tells the following story of his adventure:
 "The Iron Mountain runs through some terribly lonesome places be- tween Claremore and Nowata in the Cherokee Nation, and there have been hundreds of trains held up along the Verdigris- bottoms. We were cutting along at fierce rate this night being fifteen minutes behind, and had to catch a Kansas City train at Coffee vile. The engine was running so smooth I could hear her pass over ev- cry rail joint. Just as we were enter
 
 shoulder, and, turning around, there stood Bill Dalton. .
 "He said in his old time way, Throw up your hands, and be quick about 1t, too! No monkey business Course I threw up my hands. for he had the drop on me clearly. Then his partner, old Cherokee Bill, long dead. too. drew bead on Bill, and we were told to stop. We had no more than come to standstill than Bill Dalton dropped from the cab and left Cherokee Bill holding two big guns on us. After Dalton had uncoupled us I was to drive on. We pulled up to the water ing tank and stayed there about forty minutes. Then the ghost of the fla nous outlaw again swung into the cab and told me how he had got even for a trick I played on him once. You but the manager was on the train, and he gave us a terrible raking. When we got into Coffeeville Bill and I were laid off under charge of being drunk. Detectives hunted for clews on the ghost robbery for a month. and never found a trace of anything real.
 What did the ghost do it for? Why, to get even with me. Once. when Bill was living, he laid for my train, on which there was Q big money ship ment. He signalled me to stop all right, but I was suspicious. and ran right past him, getting bullet through the cab when lie found wouldn't stop. So when his ghost told me to go backandcouple on, it added:
 "'You old fool. I am just getting even with you for the time you ran past me. Hope you lose your job for fhtsp

Church Runs q Woodward.

A man out of work. without money and without food for his family applied not long since to Rev. pr. George $. Ander- son, paster of the Highland Avenue Con gregationap Church of Somervilie,- Mass. His case touched the clergymans heart. Investigation proved the mans tale of woe to be true. Then he conceived the idea of establishing a woodward on a small scale. Several cords of wood were purchased and piled up in the big base ment of the church. Men out of work and seeking employment were invited to come to the chopping block.
 The plan proved a success. For every foot of scantling sawed the man with the saw received 20 cents. Two feet, or a quarter of a cord, sawed and split. mak- ing five sugar barrels full, netted the worker 90 cents. This was considered d rair days work.
 Four of these barrels of kindling are sold for $1. Members Of the church buy them. This pays the first cost of the scantllngs and the labor besides. No profit is made The beneflt of the deal goes to the man who works.
 It is estimated that 277.0Oo00o pounds worth oha gold has disappeared from use in the past 300 years.

Uniform of English Officers.

Contemporary Review.
 As to extravaganza in the English Army, that is due to the fact that commanding officers do not do their duty, and general officers turn their blind eyes to what goes on. It only wants a little honesty of purpose to put an end to it. But that is just the most difficult thing to obtain. The dress of officers is undoubtedly expen- sive. in some cases ridiculously SO. There seems to be little doubt that, oven for peace purposes, it would be possible to devise a less costly form of costume, while for work and war the future uniform will be khaki. Re- cent alterations are not to be com mended from an economical or an ath- letic point of view. The red serge of the infantry officers is a constant source of expense; 1t is easily spoiled end must be replaced: the blue serge which Is his working dress, is con- structed after the fashion of the gar ment worn by the shceblacking bri- gade. Tn it the British officer is the worst-dressed man of his classs in Flu rope. The old frock-coat was comfort able and looked well, and was, in the long run. far more economicai.

When total eclipse covers the sun. flames to the height of thousands of miles are seen out of the photoscope. The sun is one hundred times larger than the earth, an easy thing to say, and yet our sun is believed to be a rather small one. For instance. Sirius is at least nine times as big.
