ALABAMA GHOST STORY
-<>%~>~>>-~%%%<+%<%%%>%>%

An interesting ghost story comes from Moulton Heights. a suburb two miles west of New Decatur.
 For some time the ghost has made nightly visits to a large two-story resi- dence there which is owned by George A. Nelson and is rented to tenants. The ghost was said to make a most hideous noise and scratched out two window screens. When looked for the ghost would vanish and nothing whatever could be seen. The last family who lived in the house moved out some time ago, saying they could no longer stand the visitations
 Since that time no one would live in the house and Mir Nelson. the owner, tried for weeks to unravel the mystery. and at last he has succeeded In doing so. After spending much time and going to a great deal of trouble he found the ghost" to be a large bird which is unknown to this country. Upon investigation 1t was found that the bird was a species of par rot and belonged to a man who had oc- cupied the house early in the spring. This man had been a United States soldier in the Philippines and had captured the bird there and had brought 1t home with him. He kept it in a cage, but one day it got out and never returned until the family had moved away. It is supposed that the bird was trying to get back into the house and when anyone went to look for it flew away and hid As the occupants of the house could see nothing to cause the strange noise they supposed it to be a ghost.

The Linen kinu.
rom the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
 Brace up! Be king of something or a Napoleon. There is in New York a big. blonde, broad-shouldered open hearted Englishman who drifted here eight years ago and worked for s3 a week. His sal- ary today is about $12.000 a year. and he is known throughout the length and breadth of the land as the linen king" He simply got into the linen department of a great house and made himself an authority on linens. The house soon found him indispensable. John Cooper is his name. It is true that he knows a few things besides linen. as countless ae- quaintances will attest, because Cooper has eyes that see. ears that hear. a nose that can smell and tongue that can be still. As for the other sense-that of touch-he feels his way guardedly and his hands are always in his pockets to re- lieve brothers distress. There must be thread king. a needle king. hook and-eye king. a button king, etc. The idea is-be the king and the kingpin in some line.
