INDIA GHOST STORY.

from the LONDON GlOO6:
The latest ghost story is recorded In
the Friend Of Burmah. and it is attest
ed by several eye Witnesses, who saw
the ghost, not during the night, as is
the case, but in broad daylight.
1t happened in the Moony1nzu quarter
Of Pakokku few days ago. In that
quarter Of the town live a married
couple. The husbands name is
Manning Yum ard his wife May Neain.
They had little son two years old.
who, after a serious illness, died. The
baby was buried in the cemetery out
side the town, his cradle serving as
a coffin.
The father was very much detected
at the loss of his little one, and unable
to reDress his grief, went to the GEM
etery tws days after the burial. 1t
was about S O'Clock In the morning.
AT the entrance Of every Burmese bu-
rial place there is a zayat, or rest
house, wherein people gather and chat
and smoke and take shelter from sun
or. rain whenever they accompany
funeral. On entering the grave yard
Maun8 Yum was not little surprised
to see his son, or at least some one
looking exactly like his son, playing
In the 'zayat near the cradle. He was
at first horror struck; but, paternal af-
fect1on getting the upper hand of him,
he approached him, and to entice him
gave him l pice.
The boy took the coin readily and
offered not the least resistance when
the father took him In his arms and
carried him away. Maung Yum could
make nothing out Of It. but that the
child had beer buried alive and that
somebody, attracted soon after by
sounds coming from the grave, had
Dug him out and placed him in the
zayat. Full of Joy he carried his trea-
sure home.
At the entrance Of the town and
about calls distance from his house,
he met neighbor, Nah Sem Pwin,
who, wondering at what he saw, cried
out: rs that you. Ko Yum, carrying
home your little SOM" AS soon as
moving about in his fathers arms.
Nah Setn Pwin and another woman
came to take it, and a short struggle
ensued between them and the boy, and
Maung Yum suddenly lost his senses
and fell heavily to the ground. The
two women made a dash for the little
one, but 10! nowhere was he to be
found: he had disappeared completely
leaving no trace behind.
home by some kindly neixhbors, but
he was a long time recovering his
senses. The child was a ghost and
the man had been carrying nothing
but an apparition from the other world
That 1t appeared real enough the two
women are ready to swear, since they
not only saw, but touched it. 1t was

All that organized labor has gained
through the trade union movement has
been gained through the use Of the Gle

FOR Improvement that presented itself.
Future success can only be gained by
exercising the same vigilance and
grasping every new opportunity. Or
ganized labor has done much, but much
more remains to be DONE
Its Many Social Responsibilities.
The trade unions have assumed
many social responsibilities. Some of
these responsibilities were: formerly
wholly unattended to, lilly attended to,
or left almost entirely to public or pri-
vate charity. The needy are now
helped by the unions. the sick cared
for. and the last moments Of the indig-
ent worker are no longer disturbed by
fears that the harsh couplet-

fear that the stigma of being buried

| education and care Of the orphans be-
come union responsibility These
cares and many others Of like ma
ture are leading features In modern
trade unions. but there is one other
great responsibility that must be as
suned-that is, the making OF the laws
and the selection Of the Judges.
Unions, Laws and Judges.
When labor resumes these response
bilities the law shall be worded so
simply that no two men will differ as
to their meaning. The judges will be
| selected for their honesty and not be-
cause they are biased in favor Of any
one class or because a dishonest par
TALLY is expected toward the class
which makes the selection. They shall
be men to whom the color Of gold OF
the glamour of social preferments
shall offer no. temptation. Their
ermines shall be unsullied, and they
shall be. honored for their feafty to trs-
tice. ~. -; =
When labor assumes thas RESPONSE

age Wnlcn stand IN the way OF labor's
advancement, shall be wiped from the

from our own ranks to represent us

will bring about that long dreamed OF
Golden Age of Labor. You have a

Pure Socialist Town.
What more socialistic town? Be-
ginning life in a municipal artisans
dwelling, the young man rides to his
work on a municipal tram. He gets
his gas or electricity from the city.
His Wife rents a gas stove from the
city, purchases her produce from a
municipal market, and buys meat that
has been prepared in a municipal alb
attoir. Both use the public baths, en-
JOY the city's parks, and send their
children to the city's Fairgrounds.
Their house refuse is removed by the
CITY,. When sick they go to the city
hospital, or if unfortunate, to the
municipal lodging house. Their mail
is collected by city tram, and in a
thousand other ways their daily life
comes in contact with the city gov
eminent. At last they are buried in
city cemetery. This may be social
ism, or it may not be. One thing is
certain, viz: that the citizens are sat
isfied and approve of every municipal
enterprise.

Proverbs
{" When the butter won't

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.
