Locust street. was placed under quar-
antine. the disease having developed

Marjorie as the patient. The little
girl was attending school No. up tn
last Friday. but as the disease has
appeared since then. il * not thought
that the contagion could have been
taken there. Her older sister was
summoned home from school yeSter-
day as soon as the case was discover
ed. Another case at 1928 East Fifth
street is that of 2-year-old Tracy
Noock. a niece of the man Schroeder

The explanation given by the watch
man at the big elevator on Rocking
ham road regarding how the ghost
story started has been generally ac-
cepted as true by the people of the
west end of the city. and as Il result
there are fewer chillS running up and
down the backs of persons living in
the First ward. incidentally the sa-
looms in the neighborhood of the Gle
vator are not showing so many brac-
ers over the bar for the stimulation
of those warting to witness the re-
ported midnight flight of the watch
man from the big building shortly
after the stroke of u. The exploding
of this story reminds one of the case
in the same part of the city NUM-
Der of years ago when ii became ru-
mored and believed that some per
turbed spirit was TO be seen walking
ON the Rock Island railroad dump, as
many different forms. So
great became the excitement that the
streets i'm the neighborhOod were
black with people from both sides of
the river at the hour when the pho
nomenon was to he witnessed. Sure
enough the flashes of light were to
be seen as had been reported. Not
for some weeks did il leak out that
some of the boys in the neighborhood
were responsible for the appearance.
They produced them with the aid OF
a dark lantern they would open and
shut and then run with rapiditN from
one point to another.

Another Happy Pastor.

The other day it was the Aveleigh Pres
byteriau pastor, this time it is the West
End Baptist pastor. When he returned
late Tuesday afternoon from round OF
pastoral calls he was escorted to the pan
try to look upon wagon load of choice
groceries kindly and generously contrib
uted by his people None but preacher
can understand the full meaning OF a
thing of this sort. While his estimate OF
the material benefit is at its full value,
his highest appreciation is for the spirit
which prompts the bestowment There
is blessing to him who gives and to him
who receives. The ties which bind pastor
and people become stronger and more ten
der BY such deeds of thoughtful kindness
And Just in proportion as pastors heart
is warmed toward his people does he de-
sire and determine to be more faithful IN
his service to and for them. This IS the
second exper1, nee of this kind the West
End pastor had since Dec. 1st, but the
kinduess of his people has not been con-
fined to these alone, their generous spirit
has made itself known on numerous oc'
casions and in variety of ways, for al
of which he desires to express his mos'
hearty appreciation.
The two pastors named are very happy
in theiI recent experience, but they ar'
by no means ambitious to enjoy monop
oly along that line.
