1t was inspection day in a certain

going the rounds inspecting the lock-

each before his own. None of the

pi.yed the Ghost Part.

L. c. Whitney, the popular secre-
tary OF the Merchants and Manufactur-
ers' association, was for long time
the agent here of the Pere Marquette
line, says a Milwaukee dispatch. Mr..
Whitney is exceedingly diminutive in
stature, fact which in itself has
been the moving cause Of many good
stories. He is not only very short,
but slender as well, and his mustache
is Hinged with the gray which comes
to fathers Of large families.
A new clerk In the railroad once
was asked anxiously by one OF his
fellow employees on the afternoon Of
pay day II the ghost had walked yet. :"
"why. yes. he's Just gone upstairs"
replied the new clerk. He referred to
Mr.. Whitney, for he had not been in
the city long enough to become used
to the slang Of the theater and news
paper ONCE or to be familiar with the
fact that the phrase ghost walked"
Is synonymous with the receipt by
employees of their pay envelopes. He
thought ''the ghost" must of necessity
refer to Mr.. Whitney and it struck
him as so appropriate that he applied
It without question.
Mr.. Whitney has = keen sense Of
humor and he tells the story on him
self.

An Intelligent Dog.

John Chase, stage driver between
Saratoga and Dillon, Wyoming. is the
owner of a shepherd dog of more than
ordinary canine intelligence. Recently
Chase was snowbound In the noun
tains. His horses were down and night
was coming on. Not thinking the dog
would understand, but being desperate.
Chase told the brute to go back on the
trail to a miners cabin and summon
assistance. The dog trotted on,
reached the cabin, scratched on the
door and barked and attracted the in
mates. The dog then ran out on the
trail in the direction of his snowbound
master, and the miners were made to
understand that something was wrong.
They at once followed the dog and as
sisted Chase in getting out Of the snow.
Chase would not sell the dog at any
price.

Twsnty-Thrso Years.
A man who walked into the Bank Of
England the other day and laid a E10
note ON the counter was surprised to
hear the clerk say; I'VE can't cash
this. The note was stopped twenty
three years ago"
Over twenty years back the note
was stopped by a clerk then III the
employ of one of the provincial
branches of the London and County
bank. 1t had been brought in by an
employe OF one of the banks clients
in order to be paid into the clients
account. with some loose change.
By q strange oversight the clerk,
after jotting down the number OF the
note and after counting the chal ge,
omitted to take the bank note. Wuen
he discovered his error note and mes
senger had disappeared. Neither was
seen again.
THE clerk took counsel with a col
league at the counter. and for the sake
OF their own prospects the two young
men determined to say nothing about
the affair. but to bear the loss them
selves. Each paid 95 to make good
the loss and stopped the number.
The man who presented the note for
payment the other day had found it
among the papers Of his father. who
recently died.
The two clerks instrumental in stop
ping the note were traced, and though
both had left the employ of the lon-
don and County bank long ago each
received back his f5 after the lapse of
twenty-three years.
