HAS BECOME TIRED OF GHOSTS.
DweIIer in Malay Peninsula Arises
with Protest

Writes a resident of Penang, in the
Malay peninsula II dare contend
that | know a certain tree in Penang
which has more devils in 1t for its
size than any other tree you can find
either in or our of Malaga. This tree
was in my compound and the native
servants were so frightened of it that
they wouldn't sleep in the house. My
boy Pakiri one night pointed out TWEEN
ty-six district devils to me and said
that they were bad devils, for they
had given Pakiri the stomach ache
and made his legs wabbly and it was
better master give whisky I quite
believed that spirits, and very evil
ones, too, had got into Pakiri's head,
but | fancy they were made in Ger
many and only cost couple of dol
lars a dozen quarts.
Still that tree was fruitful source
of annoyance, for 1t used to drown
folk on the beach and the servants
wouldn't pass under it at night. Any
thing dead that happened to be float
ing by appeared to want to come ashore
just there and roost in that particular
tree and the result was that | was
not particularly sorry to move.
Neither was Pakiri but he is still af.
fected by spirits at times. I'm a bit
sick oI ghosts myself.
81 once wrote an account of some
nice. respectable Malayan ghosts and
showed it to friend. He sent it to
the Asiatic society; they. published it;
Andrew Lang read it; Andrew Lang
wrote a book on it and referred to me
in footnote; people read the book
and now l am deluged with letters
asking il those ghosts are real ghosts.
Moral: Beware of ghosts-they are
not healthy"

heavens that the bushes In the clear

Then suddenly as they peered In front
OF them between the trunks the green
OF the swsrd turned 10 the blue OF the
water, and they saw a broad river
running swiftly before them. Amos
and De Catinat had both been upon
the bosom OF the Richeiieu before. and
their hearts bounded as they looked
upon IT, for they knew that this was
the straight path which led them, the
one TO home and the other TO peace and
freedom.
Across the river was the terrible Iro-
quois country, and at two points they
could see the smoke OF fires curling up
into the evening air. They followed
the track which led down the eastern
bank. As they pushed onward a stern
military challenge suddenly brought
them TO a stand. and they saw the
CLEAN of two musket barrels which
covered them from a thicket overlook
