Weird Stories of Spectral Manifesto tions Told by Employes-Spirit In Bibulous Vein on His

Los Angeles.-A more uncanny visitor than death, whose silent en- trance of its portals there is not day that fails to record, has appeared at the county hospital, according to in mates.
 This weird apparition Is not the rider of the pale horse, who is well come, but ghost, which is terrible the ghost of a man who died there months ago-Lawrence Hanley, the actor; Lawrence Hanley In the wraith- garb of the spirit world enacting the role of Hamlet at midnight in the darkness of the corridor upon which opened the room where he died August 28 last; Lawrence Hanley smoking a cigarette and leaning with one arm raised upon thin air and with his feet crossed. saying, Yes. I'll have an- other, thanks!"
 The doctors and the nurses laugh or pooh-pooh when they hear these re- ports. but doctors and nurses are of un- superstitious fiber; they believe in ,sca1pels and saws and such obviously material things, and if ghost should appear to one he might call 1t a wreath of smoke, a shaft of moonlight or some other easily applicable thing. The nurse who was with Lawrence Hanley when he died, H. s. Req Don. when interviewed refused to discuss the alleged spectral manifestation. MT.

FRIENDS"

The older generation of playgoers Is very familiar with the story of Friends" which the summer stock company will present at Polls next week. Milton Royle who wrote and played the piece made great finan- cial and popular success. with it quite few years ago and there are those who can easily remember the land office business it did at the Jacques when that playhouse was the home of the legitimate drama. MT Royle has not the becund mind of Clyde Fitch. George Ade. Angus "turn-'em-out-while-you-wait" school of American play builders, but he is not without fame in his own land. His pen works slowly, but effectively and only last season he turned out one of the greatest money makers of the year, "The SQuaw Man" Friends" is a play filled with gen. uine heart interest, the one absolute essential for romantic success, plenty of spontaneous comedy and beauti- full and interesting story. The stock company will make thoroughly en- joyable presentation of the play. Polls popular prices. Souvenirs Fri day.

S DELAYS TWENTY. FIFTH BIRTHDAY By Gertie De $. Wentw0rth-James
S V 2
Copyright. by Joseph B. Bowles.)

June 1, II a. mt is five years to- day since l even opened my Birthday Diary.
 At first-after 1t was all over-I couldn't bear to see or to touch the little book: then when that feeling had dulled. forgot all about it.
 But this morning, came across the volume which holds the fiamboyant fancies from 17 to 20; and . mood has seized me that after five years I will again turn to my paper confidant.
 Poor little book! you are faded and yellow on the margins: like your wri- ter-the worse for wear! From 17 to 25 is long, long while!
 Who could help growing the worse for wear?
 don't suppose that many tilted wo- men of 25 can smile with perpetual success!
 tilted!
 It is a marvelously ugly word to write; but as a Birthday Diary de- mands the truth, may not scratch 1t out.
 Yes. at 20 I loved madly. riotously, and wonderfully-oh. God! how full of real romance was!-and at 21 1 had to teach myself to leave on loving. didn't think should ever learn the lesson: but suppose haye-now.
 almost wish now that I had entered in the Birthday Diary how my lover gave me up. There was nothing par ticulariy original about the proceeding or the way 1t was done. but for all that it was worth remembering.
 It was after dinner. l was sitting in my boudoir waiting for him instead of going to the theater with the others. because he had wired that he wanted to see me alone.
 That wire had made me 90 happy
 Tt is because he just wants to sit with his arms around me: he and quite by ourselves" I thought with glad conceit as got into his favorite gown.
 With curious punctuality Che was usually late on every occasionl George arrived. His mouth looked straight and set as he entered the room, but when 1t was pressed against my own in the most passionate g-seting he had ever given me. forgot its almost cruel lines.
 When 1 had drawn back after that swift. spontaneous kiss. George did not make any effort to come near me again.
 T have come to tell you" he began. looking more Napoleonic than I had ever seen him-"I have come to say. Della. that my people vant-me-to- marry-a voman-vith-a grest-deal -more-money - than = you - will ever-hsve. had better confess it all. and"
 Oh it's TO good writing down the ugly history of debt and difsculty. the mercenarv edicts of a snobbish family full of generals. admirals. unpaid bills and seIf-importance. and the pitfful. cowardly weakness of a man with q firm iav and Nspoleonic profile,
 Details are nothing: its only results that matter. and the results are in my heart and on my face.
 This morning when I woke I looked in the eIsss. just ss looked on the day I began my Birthday Diary eight years seoi
 At frst there didn't seem to be much difference. but then gradually I under stood vhy ny only friends gre clever. staid spinsters or sensible married vonea- and ny only sdnirez livery eD,oaels e praseat people vho vozlz
