Denison. This year he had been at
Norfolk, Neb. working with rail-
way construction crew. He was
taken sick in March and was taken to

A True Ghost story.

A lady l met in Ireland related the
following facts to me just as they oc-
Cured. She was staying at a house
near Bardon, County Cork One even
ing she was walking up the long car
riage drive to the house-it was bright
moonlight and nearly as light as day
when she saw a tall figure coming
down the narrow footpath beside the
drive" toward her. On coming closer
she saw it was a man dressed all in
black, wearing tall silk hat, and she
wondered who it could be. His head
was bent forward so that the face was
In shadow, but as they came close to
each other he raised his head and look
ed at her and showed the most horrible
face imaginable. With gasp of ter
ror, she stepped off the path, and at
the same moment he did the same and,
putting out a clawlike hand, touched
her arm, and as she shrieked out in
fear he completely vanished. She did
not see him 60 but he dissolved like
mist. His face was not like that of
human being, and the horror of it was
quite indescribable. Her arm that the
specter touched was paralyZed and re-
manned SO for two weeks after. This
apparition had been seen by other peo-
pie, but only at distance, and but
few believed the stories current about
the place being "haunted."-Occult Re

The Speed Of the Camel.

The speed of the camel when on
journey of considerable length rarely
exceeds three miles an hour, and the
swiftest dromedaries are rarely known
to go faster than a ten mile gait, but
this can be kept up for twenty hours
in the day and for six or seven days at
time.
