noiselessly up the stairs. The burglar
had scarcely entered the chamber
when there was loud report, and a
voice said authoritatively as he fell to
the floor with shrek of dismay:

you make any resistance I shall use

A savage oath broke from the mans

raised himself and dashed for the
door. There was a fash, a quick re-
port and the man fell down the stairs
where he lay senseless.

laughter was heard when they saw the

When the excitement was at its

"Well, you have done bravely," he
said, on hearing the story. II guess

Tom took the paper. A thousand dol

After breakfast Tom wandered down
by the river; climbing a tree he was
soon lost in thought Presently hear
ing cracking of twigs he looked from
his leafy screen and saw man rapidly
approaching. After looking cautiously
around, he placed a package in a tree,
took a line and hook from his pocket
and strolled down to the river.
Toms curiosity was aroused, and as
the man disappeared he slid down from
his seat and went to the tree. What
was his disappointment in not finding
any aperture. Being determined not
to give up, he looked more closely, ran

HOW TOM CAUGHT A GHOST.

80 ELLvILLE was haunted. It hat
lOO ghost of Its own. Almost ey
cry one in the town, from SQUIRE
Thompson to Billy White, had seen it
so that 1t was useless to dispute It
The excitement regarding the ghost
was at Its height when something more
startling than ghosts was at first whis
pered, and then boldly talked over, and
that was robbery.
Those who were not burdened with
an abundance Of this worlds goods
were frightened, and those who had
pleaty were In panic, and between
Its ghost and its losses, quiet Bellville
was in state Of alarming excitement
Joe Benton had bid Annie Watson
goodnight, and gone whistling toward
home, when suddenly a tall, white fig.
ure "rose out Of the ground" he said
and Joe's valor went into his heels, and
the way he ran must have astonished
the ghost.
Joe was rallied mercilessly, but not
long, for the ghost appeared to his tor
mentors, and their laughter turned to
seeing which could run the fastest,
they or the ghost.
The boys took to staying at home
nights, greatly to the delight of anx-
ious mothers. They were not afraid of
a million ghosts, not they, but they
didn't feel very we'll, with a groan, and
were going to bed.
Tom Wadleigh was passing his vaca-
ton at Bellvllle and, as he was 10
years old, he laughed scornfully when
his 10-year-old consin told him of the
ghost. "Why, Harry" said he, there
isn't any such thing as ghost. Moth
er says so, and she knows"
mo, she don't" retorted Harry, "for

and smashed his buggy all to pieces"

boldly, "has 1t ever been seen here?"

to the window. "How beautifully the

His heart almost ceased to beat as
he leaned from the window, for right
below him walked the ghost Sparks of
fire issued from Its mouth, and 1t
doomed up ten feet at least. Some said
fifteen or twenty and some that 1t was
taller than the tallest trees, but l sus-
pect that they measured 1t by their
fears. The ghost moved slowly away,
and Tom saw pair of legs. He was a
shrewd boy, and he lay awake until
morning thinking.

helped to introduce ideas in this in other matters
and the farm to-day shows some architec
tural taste in IT'S design.
Barn building has also undergone a change. When
timber was plentiful, the framework Of barn stable
contained an unnecessary number of posts beams
braces. Rising prices demanded economy in the use
of wood and lighter structures the rule, the
plank frame being the extreme development of this Idea

that these agencies will play part in the agriculture Of

WAGES SMALL FOR BIG FAMILIES
Child-Labor Secretary Discusses
President's Theory.

President Roosevelt's declaration in
favor of big families was discussed be-
fore the New Rochelle Peoples forum
in New York Sunday. The Rev. Owen
II. Lovejoy, secretary of the National
Child Labor committee, declared that eX-
cept in special cases the President was
mistaken in promulgating such ideas
among the American people. Many men,
he said, were working to-day at the
bench and in the factory for less wages
thar their fathers received for the same
amount of work and it was costing them
more to live. .-... s.-
Such men, he said, if they were of con-
scientious type, would hesitate at the re-
sponsibility of bringing children into the
world to struggle and toll for a bare liv-
ing without prospects of advancement.
Mr.. Lovejoy estimated the number of
children employed at manufacture and
mining in the United States at 100000.
which, he said, is far too many, as they
are crowding men n women out Of
work and lowering wages.
He said that the National Child Labor
committee, in conjunction with the Ma
tional Consumers League, would go to
Washington this winter to try to have
Congress pass n bill to establish an ad-
ditional child-labor bureau, which would
raise the condition of working children to
that Of France and Germany.

DISASTROUS Blaze in West Hotel

Disastrous Blaze fn West Hotel,
rr Minneapolis
Fire in the West Hotel at Minneapo-
lis early Wednesday morning cost the
lives of ten persons, damaged the great
hostelry to the extent of $4,000 and
gave throngs of spectators views Of
thrilling rescues by the firemen that
called forth cheers from the crowds.
Feats of heroism by the firetishters
kept down the death list, although
Captain John Berwin of hook"and lad
der company No. I persisted while
working to lower a woman from the
fifth story.
The fire was discovered at T:15
o'clock and the guests and employees
were given prompt alarms bE the ho-
tells system of electric bells. Fire cS-
capes cut off by roaring flames, famed
by n cOld and strong wind, and halls
filled by impenetrable smoke caused
three people to jump from windows to
their deaths. The firemen had the
flames under control within An hour
and at $50 it was reported that it was
~eXtinguished.
The West Hotel has for many years
been regarded as the leading hosiery
of Minneapolis. 1t was built nearly
twenty years ago by the late Colonel
John 7. West and was made as nearly
fireproof as possible. Located at 9TH
street and IIennepin avenu it occu-
pied q commanding position in the city
and was regarded as a show place and
one of the leading attractions of the
city. The facilities afforded by the
hotel brought scores of conventions and
other gatherings to the city and rarely
We're its accommodations overtaXed.
The Republican national convention
Of 1892 was secured to Minneapolis
chiefly because of the West Hotel. The
vast lobby, declared to be the largest
in the United States, was easily able
to accommodate the crowds which filled
the place. Many other notable gather
ings were held within its walls and in
the afternoon and evening it was the
center for business and professional
, men to gather. With the death Of Col.
West the property passed into other
hands.
