GHOSTS HOLD CARNIVAL HERE.
House at Dunklrk. NJ. ", Which Is

Residents In the Fourth ward are
greatly excited over an alleged haunt

In whichsthe ghosts are said to hold

almost hidden from view by deep
shrubbery. II was the home of an
aged woman who was found lying
upon the floor one morning dead. For
years she had led the life of recluse
and her every action had been shroud-
ed in mystery. After her death con-
siderable money was found secreted
about the place. Within the past two
years over q dozen families have lived
In the house. None remained longer
than two weeks. A family who had
moved into the house Monday last
moved out to-day They stated that
continually about midnight the sound
of footsteps, groans, blood-curdling
chuckles of laughter, and the clank-
ing of chains could be heard through
out the house.
The lighted lamp on number of oc-
casions was blown cut without any ap-
parent cause, and several times the
bedclothes were forcibly pulled from
the occupants OF the bed. The old
woman during her life never allowed a
person to enter the house. The opin-

Tale OF an Unfortunate courtshl2
Told in Rhyme.
With delicate persuasion that betray-
cd no base evasion, he contrived
the conversation so 1t turned On
true love rare.
And In accents far from jolly he de-
clared 'gainst friendships folly. and
In tones quite melancholy said he'd
take love for his share.
Il was, he said, admitted, that when
friendships ghost had fitted, those
1t left were to be pitied; for their
fate was sad indeed
6ut when true love once had dartei
through ones soul, and then de-
parted. though it left one broken
hearted, it had filled long felt
need.
And there was 70 doubt about it,
though the skeptical might fiout it;
We could not get on without 1t,
though it left Us in disgrace;
For its memory always haunted, and
1t was the thing we wanted. Other
things, though highly vaunted,
couldn't take its special place.
Then he asked if he might love her,
for there vas 70 girl above her in
his eyes. lie thought only Of her,
and she said: ''Why, certainly;

once have my permission, but of
course on this condition; you can

KNEW HE COULD REACH 1T.
Wonderful Nerve of a Player In a
University Baseball Team.

u
Some five years ago a group of col
lege men, in which were many mem.
bers of the Yale and Princeton base
ball teams, was discussing the game
OF the next day, which was to decide
the championship. Singer" Kelly,
the hardest hitter on the Jersey nine,
predicted In the course Of the con-
versaticn, that he would get home
run in the coming game. The Yale
pitcher turned toward him and asked
how certain he was of that home run.
Kelly replied that he was sure to the
extent of $1,000 and the Yale pitcher
remarked that he was convinced Of
the opposite to like degree the two
players shook hands on the wager and
went home to bed. During the first
eight innings Kelly came to the bat
five times and five times he got his
base on balls, the Yale man taking
care to send in no ball that Kelly
could touch.
When the 'slugger" came to the
bat in the last half of the ninth there
were two men out and an eager tiger
was lowering off first base Kelly
knew that 1t was his last chance to
hit the ball and as the first ball pitch
ed came flying down far to one side
of the plate the "slugger" stepped
away across the rubber and his bat
met the ball with sharp crack. The
next second the broken bat was lying
on the ground and Kelly was flying
around the diamond. He reached home
with the winning run about second
before the ball landed in the eatcher's
hands, and as he brushed the dust
from his shirt he calmly remarked:
Il knew l could do it."
Without entering into the question
Of the morality of betting. that sort OF
spirit is what is needed to-day by the
man who wants to accomplish some
thing. Not the conceit Of the man
who deludes himself with a magnified
picture of his own abilities, but the
calm certainty of the one who
knows what he can do and intends to
do it. The world trusts the man who
trusts himself
