Expensive Information.

w. D. Balcom, of the Union Tea
and Coffee company gained some ex-
ceedingly expensive knowledge of
electricity last Saturday. He has
recently installed small motor to
run his coffee grinder. Saturday
afternoon he was sweeping the floor
when a customer came in, and Mr.
Balcom leaned his broom against the
counter while he went back to wait
on the customer, giving the electric
switch a little twist as he went by
to start the mill. Meantime the
broom had fallen against one Of the
fly wheels of the mill, and about the
first turn sent the broom handle
through the big plate glass window
In the front of the store.
The glass Is so large that it can
not be put In box car, and Mr.
Balcom was obliged to pay the cost
of an entire fiat car from Denver to
Greeley besides the cost Of the glass.

ghost stories told,
S1ut many a cold shiver over the
listeners.
Autumn leaves and pumpkin

decorations and the invitations to
the parties were various, from elabor-
ately embossed and engraved affairs
to scraps of brown paper on which
were written summons by the order
of the Gray Witch and Black Wizard.

conducted by ghost through devious
WAYS to the home OF Mr.. and Mrs.

greeted in darkened room by an
other ghost, who insisted on each
shaking his cold clammy hand. The
girls were sent down cellar where IN
a darkened corner sorrounded by i

were rewarded for their bravery how
ever, by kiss flom an unknown ad-
