A GHOST ABOARD.
By NJ. Quad.


We were bound from Liverpool to a
South American port in the new clipper
ship Danube" and one night, when
seven or eight days out, we lost the
breeze and lay idly heaving on a CLASSY
sea.
A sailor named Charles Jones was on
watch as lookout at ten o'clock. He
was a sober. dignified man and the
best seaman of the crew. AS second
mate of the ship, 1 had charge of that
watch at the time, while the captain
and chief mate were off duty, and seven
or eight men were lounging about on
the fore and main decks.
OF a sudden Jones yelled out and
came running aft in a state of great
excitement. He was in such a perturb-
ed state that it was five minutes before
he could relate his story. He was pac-
ing to and fro, he said, keeping bright
lookout, and not thinking of anything
in particular, when he suddenly found
something walking beside him. He
heard no step or sound, but a some
thing stood shoulder to shoulder with
him. 1t wasn't a man, nor wasn't yet
a shadow. The sailor felt its breath on
his cheek and turned to seize it, but
the something laughed at him and
glided away.

than the others, and all his arguments
had been torn to shreds. Something
had gripped him, though no marks
were left to prove it. Some one or
something had laughed, though the
captain was all alone in his cabin and
was sure that the sound could not
have come from his own lips
We saw nothing more of the ghost
business and reached port safely with
all we'll. but the yarn got into the pa
pers and was circulated among the
taverns, and when ready to sail again
we found ourselves without crew.
BY paying double wages we secured
one after a long delay, and the craft
was seventeen days out when the
ghost appeared again and laid its cold
hands on one of the men. d.
The entire crew before the mast
seized the boats and abandoned the
ship, and though her officers stuck by
her and eventually got her into a port
she had received such a bad name that
she never made another voyage. She
could not be sold at any price, but had
to be broken up and her timbers scat

HOMETOWN HAPPENINGS.

We find that we were mistaken last
week in saying that Mrs. George Thomp-
son was. down with the mumps. She says
she would like to see anything that could
keep her jaws still for half a day at a
time 1t was a huckeberry rash that
allied her.
Mr.. John Swan denounced us on the
public square the other day as a coward
because we would not fight him, but the
public will do US justice. AS superinten-
dent of a Sunday school, leader of the
choir, deacon of the church and the bell
ringer for prayer meeting we can neither
fight, swear nor chew tobacco.
We understand that Mr.; Henry Game
feels hurt because we failed to mention
last week that he had reprinted his barn
a vivid red, and that with green trees for
a background and two yellow strawstacks
for side issues, he was showing a picture
of beauty worth going miles to see. Never
mind, Henry. Editors can't be every
where at once, but give them time and
they'll get around to all the barns in the
county.
While we take wood on subscription, we
wish it understood that we have no time
for 70 ct the u Stove. Even if We had. we have
neither saw nor axe, and our wife has a
lame back.
We could have exchanged the Banner
one day last week for a team of mules
and so acres of land and become a farmer,
but we withstood the temptation AS a
matter of fact we feel it our duty to edit
and suffer, and we don't think We should
be happy in any other vocation
The gossip to the effect that the Widow
Spooner mortgaged her house and lot in
July to make a trip to the ashore turns
out to be all nonsense We have 1t on the
best of authority that she borrowed the
money of her brother, and that he DIDN'T
even charge interest
The Banner wants an apprentice boy
to learn the printers trade. He must be
clean, bright, respectful, fond of his moth
habits, willing, cheerful and an early
week, payable as we can afford it. Here
is the opportunity of lifetime.
The huckleberry picnic which took
place last week was grand success. Over
90 people rode to the swamp in wagons,
and over 100 quarts of berries were picked.
At luncheon times we were called upon
for some remarks, and we had feeling
that we acquitted oursef gracefully. We
have always felt at home among buckle
berries.
During our wife's absence last week we
lived on bread and green's for seven days
and did not suffer the least, but we do
not recommend it as steady diet the
year round. They satisfy the appetite to
an extent. but do not arouse new aims
and ambitions.-(Copyright 1904, by T. G.

RAoIRe news cur OFF.

N THE DISPATCHES published
/ Yesterday the announcement was
made that the Western Union Ieie-
zrsph company had cut of it's wire
racing service from the pool rooms Of
New York. This action is the result
of a long. hard fight that has been
made bv the New York police force and
the prosecuting officials 20 break up
tho pool rooms that flourish there In
defiance Of the law. For the benefit OF
the uniniuated &c should be stated that
"a pool room is a place where race re-
ports are received by wire during and
at the close of each race, and fire.
ouenters OF such places may bet
money on the races with almost as
much freedom as If they were actually
ON the race course
The revenue OF the Western Union
from these gambling Johnston they
are nothing eIse-has been enormous.
One authority puts the eompany's net
profits from pool rooms throughout the
country al an aggregate of $4,000, 900.
There is no law that prevents the
Western Union from supplying the ser
vice iu spite Of the fact that the COM
uauy-s officials know right well that the
reports are used for gambling pur-
poses. TO that extent they aid and
sbet in violations Of the law More,
Elm cities where the police discourage
pool rooms by frequent raids. the COM
many has been iu the habit of furnish
ing agile telegraph operators who know
enough to jump out OF windows and
esrry their instruments away with
them.
The moral phase of the companys
dealings with the New York gamblers
has been commented on quite extern
sfveIy and the corporation has come
i'm for unsparing criticism. The stop
maze Of the race reports in New York
has not. however, resulted In the clos
ING of the pool rooms. Their manas-
ers simply changed from the telegraph
fo the telephone service, The latleF is
very much more unsatistactory, be-
sides being more expensive. and II is
doubtful If any except the larger
houses can afford 10 operate with IT,
The delay Of five or zen minutes be-
tween the finish of race and the zee
ceinr of ihe news bog the pool room
win open wide possibilities Tor fraud
against tha proprietors.
ID rs TO be hoped that the Western
Union win not rescind the order cut
ting off the service sooner or later
I'd nm have the eject Of closing Che
pool rooms.
