The Ghost Quit.

With the aid of the two candles

and on examining it closely l perceived
that there was a fire in it. The CRATE
would have held quite double hand
full of coal If carefully put on; the fire,
which seemed to be Pickering SO feebly,
had yet had the energy to draw all the
warmth Of the chamber up the Chin
ney, and stood shivering in the tenn
perature of subterranean dungeon.
The place instantly gave evidence. of
being haunted, and the testimony of my
nerves on this point was corroborated
by the spectral play Of the freight on
the ceiling when blew out my candles.

in the west. The king of Ava, in Bur-

seasons, the absolute master Of the ebb

and lord of the four and twenty UNI
brelIas." The king Of Arracan, lower
Burma, was ''possessor of the white
elephant and the two earrings" as well
as lord of the twelve kings who
placed their heads under his feet" In
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS region Of At
RIGA the king Of Monomtopa was not
only lord Of the sun and raoon," but
great magician and great thief"
Another eastern potentate was the

is as luminous as the sun, created to be
as accomplished as the moon In her
plenitude; king as spiritual as the ball

WoMAN's RIGHTS.
First Move In This Direction Made In
Medford In 1901.

The first recorded public meeting in
the interest of "woman's rights" was
held in the town of Medford in 1901.
The gallery Of the church was occupied
by the young unmarried people of the
congregation, one side and one-half the
front gallery being given to the young
men, the other side and the other half
being given to the young women. But
in the seating in the eventful year the
young men were given the entire front
Of the gallery as well, and the young
women were allowed only one side of
the gallery.
Then it was that things began to hap
pen. Treatment like this wasn't to be
tolerated, even for moment. The
blood Of the future mothers of the
Revolution was fully aroused, and the
young women made such an uproar
and commotion that it speedily became
a town matter, and a town meeting
was called to restore to them their
rights in half of the front gallery.
The young men of the day were bit
teriy opposed to extending any new
privileges to women, and the fight ex-
tended beyond Medford. Shortly after
the Introduction of pews into the
churches, by which families were sep
arated from the remainder of the con-
gregation, the selectmen Of the town of
Newbury gave permission to a group
of young women to build pew in the
gallery of the church upon their own
side of the house. This extension Of
privilege was resented by the young
bachelors to such degree that they
broke window of the church, forced
an entrance and hacked the pew in
pieces. For this act of sacrilege the
young men of Newbury were fined $40
each and sentenced to be whipped or
pilloried. But they We're manly enough
to confess their folly and ask pardon,
SO this part Of their punishment was
omitted. So you see the "woman's
rights movement isn't modern one.
