EFFECT or AN APPARiTloN.
Belief In Its Genulneness Caused
Mind TO Give Way,


A college story that is often told
at Harvard is cited sometimes as
showing the effect Of an apparition
upon the one who beholds it.
The story is of youth who took
1t into his wise head to endeavor to.
convert an infdel companion of his
by appearing as a ghost before him.
He accordingly dressed himself UP in
the usual ghost attire, having previ-
ously extracted the ball from q pistol
which always lay near the head of
his friends bed.
Upon first awakening and seeing
the apparition, Brown, the youth who
was to be frightened, very coolly
looked his companion, the ghost, in
the face and said:
Il know you; this Is good joke;
you see am not alarmed. Now you
may vanish"
The ghost stood still.
go on, now" said Brown. THAT
is enough. shall become angry. Get
out of here"
Still the ghost did not move,
by -" burst forth Brown, 1T
you don't get out Of here in three
minutes III show you"
He waited the time stated, DELHI
erately leveled his pistol and fired.
When he saw that the immovable
figure stood stock still Brown uttered
a shrek of fright, became convulsed,
and soon afterward died.
The very moment he believed it to
be a ghost his human nature gave
way.

LAWRENCE SCAFFoLD FALLS.
One Man Killed and Two Seriously
Injured Monday.

LAWRENCE Especially The col
lapsing Of a scaffold- at the new Fra
ternal Aid building here resulted in
the death Of one workman and the Sc
rlous injury Of two others. The man
who was killed Is John Steinhour, Of
this city, and those seriously injured
are James Mclaughlin, of Leaven'
worth, a brother Of the contractor and
G. d. Clawson of Lawrence. Several
other workmen are hurt, but none seri
ously. The condition Of Clawson and
Mclaughlin Is critical.
The scaffold which gave way was
erected at the third story Of the build
ing An unusually large number Of
workmen were on the scaffold engaged
in putting up a roof truss. Steinhour
struck the floor below with such force
as to crush a hole through 1t. The
hosting derrick and scaffold timbers
fell on top of the workmen, and 1t Is
almost miraculous that several deaths
did not result.
