MAKES FRIENDS OF GHOSTS.
Woman Solves the Mystery That Had
Driven Away Many Servants.

lady and gentleman moved into q
house in the suburbs last fall They
were more than pleased with the
place. with one exception. There
were. beyond a doubt. lot Of queer
noises which neither the lady nor her
husband could explain. In conse-
quence of this their servants were
constantly giving notice, for they re-
fused to live in the house with
"spooks." no matter how harmless.
One day during the winter the lady
noticed a great number OF squirrels
stringing along like a caravan, run
ming about after the leader, up and
down trees. across the lawn, and, in
short. every place that a squirrel
could go She watched them for a
long while and to her surprise when
they were tired OF play they scamper-
ed up the shed roof and on up till
they disappeared under the caves Of
the house.
When the last tail vanished from
sight the lady ran upstairs and listen
ed. Sure enough, the "spook" noises
were Ill Iull OpeTdllOn. ne colony OF
squirrels had taken up their winter
quarters in an unused loft In the
house. Going into spare bedroom.
the lady stood on ladder against the
loft door and set 1t ajar. Then she
placed bowl Of crackers at the foot
of the ladder II was fully a week
before the timid creatures dared touch
the food which had been handled by
human fingers.
But at last they ventured down for
the crackers. and when they emptied
the Jar the lady filled II again. She
spent many minutes (which might
otherwise have proved very lonely
during the long winter) in retting
better acquainted with the frisky
little spooks which had frightened SO
many cooks away. And now they are
so tame that when the dining-room
windows are open in the morning they
run in from the lawn and sit on the
window sill. looking "big-eyed." while
the l.dy and her husband eat their

where we stopped the soldiers were
drawn up on the parade ground before

ruler advanced to the front of the
balcony on the second floor and ma

"One OF his subjects explained to
me that II was the royal sanction for
the sun to set. When asked as to
whether the ruler gave his permission
for the sun to rise in the morning the
man replied that the sun must always
rise before the ruler but that IL never
could go down unless the royal hand
waved approval. The king who did
this was the sultan of Zanzibar.

visit Of two days at Forest River. One
day of his visit there was devoted to
raising funds for Wesley College, and
he secured $3.50 for that purpose. AT
Park River a few days earlier the sum
of $3,25o was secured, making total
of $4,Ioo in the past two weeks. This
brings the fund up to about $4,000, in
Guiding the Grand Forks subscriptions,
