rhe stick seemed to go through the misty form without result. Burger lighted a lamp, but the ghost had gone. He returned to bed and the ghost re- appeared. This was enough, and he went home, to acknowledge that he did not understand the matter.
 Night after night new candidate came forward to prove the foolishness of his neigh bors, but none will consent to spend second night intthe place.
 Parties have been made up to ex- plode the fallacy, but they have in> variably ended in making larger number of mystified people, all of whom would gladly welcome proof that they were victims of hallucinaa tion rather than the observers of a real ghost in it's weary journey from the grave to the scene of its departure from life. John Milford, George Bur ger, John Strohm, Philip Cramer, R. D. Whistler and Tony Herzer are all re- ferred to as being able to corroborate the stories of the reality of the ghost.
 So notorious had the affairs of the Burger neighborhood become that they attracted attention in the neighboring village of New Washington. Dr. Mill Ter, who, with Editor Lantz, of the will lage paper; J. B. Ledman, superin- tendent of the Sycamore schools, and Undertaken John Geiger, had been present when the body of Klinghardt had been cut down, went to investigate
 Speaking of the matter, Dr. Miller says that when he determined to in- vestigate he kept the matter quiet, so as not to apprise anyone who might be the cause of the joke. He took along his camera, determined to get the only photograph of a real ghost ever taken. He waited until few minutes before midnight and then went down to the. grove where the dead man had been found hanging. The doctor knew the way to the sapling and intended to go to it in the moonlight, and from there to the grave. He had gone but short distance when he perceived a form ahead of him leading the way. He was surprised, but not frightened. For the moment he forgot his camera, but just before reaching the woods he remem- bered it and quickly made an exposure. : The photo shows plainly the appari- tion in the woods. The trip to the tree was continued under the supernatural guidance, and also the visit to the grave. Being convinced that what he saw was the ghost, and not desiring any further acquaintance, the doctor went home.
 He has expressed himself as fully convinced that the Burgers and their friends are sincere in their belief, and he cannot explain the matter,

Miss Mary l.. Rogers, of Pawtucket, R.

 It all came about because Miss Rogers was "new" teacher. It was her first day with the high school class and the evidence at hand tends to show that the brawny youths of
