school who are anxious to take part
in the debate that q contest for the
honor will be held at the assembly
room before committee whose duty
it will be to select three to be put
against like number from Marceline.
The question to be debated is
Resolved, That the early colonists
deserve more credit for settling and
holding this country than the revolu-
tionists for freeing it.
Laclede takes the negative and al
ready something like a dozen boys
are searching for "p'ints' to include

A Rural Route Abandoned.

Rural route No. II out of Kansas
City was abandoned last Monday un-
til the farmers improve the condition
of the roads. A route Inspector went
over the route last Saturday and
found many mudholes and several
bridges broken down. This is fore
ible reminder that it is up to the far
mers to keep the roads in passable
condition in order to haye free deliv-
cry. If they refuse or neglect to do
this, service may be cut out on a part
or all of the route at any time. Linn
county now has complete service and
how long it remains depends on
whether the farmers appreciate it
enough to keep the roads in good con-
dition.

CURRY FELT SEES A GHOST.
The Nez Perce, Idaho, Merchant Discovers a
Real Live Spook Near His Home.

Curry w. Felt, a former Lacled'
boy, now the leading merchant at Me-
Perce, Idaho, is the central figure in {
sensational ghost story printed in the
Chicago Blade of last Saturday. The
story is in the form of a dispatch from
Nez Perce, and is as follows:
"At intervals of two months citizens
report seeing ghost during all hours
of the night-a woman ghost, dressed
in long, black, flowing gowns, with
either white or black scarf tied close
ly over her head till the face was al
most invisible.
When G. w. Felt, a merchant,
brought in the report two months ago
that mysterious woman had been
hanging around his house during the
small hours of the night he was ridi-
culed. But now sentiment is changed.
Dozens of people have seen the appar-
ition, but no one has had courage to
ask her business. Children keep close
in doors at night. Adults shake their
heads and no one investigates. In fact
the ghost has the whole town "buffa-
loed."
Two months ago Mr.. Felt told the
first ghost story. The mysterious
woman was seen silently walking
through the residence district near his
home. For an hour it stood by the
gate in the darkness gazing at the
house, but never entering the yard.
Then other citizens saw the stranger.
Then it disappeared as suddenly as
it came, to reappear two weeks ago.
This time instead of confning its
nightly vigil to Mr.. Felt's house the
phantom promenaded all over the city
and made head quarters near the house
where John Muir hanged himself on
Jan. /, 1905. Muir's body was not
found for five months.
AS the story travelled imagination
helped the mysterious one out and
many were the remarkable stories
told. Some have imagined they saw
it in the yards or peering in windows
at night and daily a report is expected
that the ghost has invaded some home.
The ghost seems to keep its vigil on
the street. People have passed it on
the sidewalk, but no one can give a
description and the woman has never
been seen in daylight.
People believe some man is playing
practical joke or that the ghost is a
woman slightly demented. AS long
as it keeps off private property people
are willing to let it roam at will, but
several have sworn dire vengeance
should the wanderer be found in their
yards or homes"

The BLADE believes the world need
never shed a tear for its sainted dead.
They are safe as the harvest is when
the farmer has bound it into sheaves
and stored it away, or as the roses are
when the gardener has wrapped their
roots in straw and housed them from
the storm. They are safe as the lark
that flies singing from the green earth
out of reach of the huntsman's snare
and the aim of the cruel sportsman.
They are safe as warriors who march
beneath worn battle-fags no more, but
sit down with conquerors to festivals
of song and wine. They are safe as
young lambs are when shepherds fold
them from the blast and carry them
over rough places in tender arms.
Weep for the living all you choose;
let your tears be unstayed above the
dying bed when your darlings lie like
wreaths of fading snow beneath the
glare of death; but if you believe in
God, and hold any faith in heaven,
shed not your tears for the blessed and
happy dead. Christianity gives the
lie to its belief when it garbs itself in
sables and mourns without comfort
for those who have exchanged the inn
for the palace, the wilderness for the
land of peace and plenty.

pletely misapprehend what are really
the important questions. The question
