OLD TIME LEGAL METHODS.
Z, hen tic Evidence of Ghosts sufhced
to Hang Men.

The testimony of a ghost would not
now count for much in a court OF law
but the day has been when 1t mas
sunicca to hang a man, There was d
p1ostly accuscr IN case with which
the readers of Scott are familiar. Soon
after the 10" an English soldier wan
dorirg near Braemar met a violent
Death. Years passed and then came a
story of a communication from another
world.
4 farm servant declared that In the
night a spirit had appeared to him de-
claring itself to be the ghost of the
soldier. whose bones, it is said, lay
still unburied. The highlander must
see to their decent interment and
have the murdereys, two men named,
brought to justice. The highlander
promised. but did not keep his word,
ana q second and third time the spirit
appeared and uEbraided him for his
breach of faith. Alarmed at last and
no longer daring to delay, the man
called a companion and went to the
SPOT which the spirit had Indicated
and there found the bones Of the muir
dered warrior concealed in moorland
tract called the hill of Christie.
The story of the highlander came to
the ears Of an anti-JacObite, who caus-
ed the matter to be brought to trial
before the court of judiciary, Edin-
burgh. There the tale was corroborat-
ed 10y Il woman who had seen naked
figure enter the place on the night
spoken of by the man. 1t was an age
of superstition in district more than
commonly given to superstition, and
the jury seemed disposed to find the
TWO men charged guilty of the murder
but 1t happened that the principal wit
ness spoke only Gaelic. "NOw," said
the counsel for the defense, "in what
language did the ghost speak" I'm
as good Gaelic rs ever heard In Loeb
aber." was the reply. pretty good for
the ghost of an English soldier" said
counsel. and that question and com
ment saved the necks Of the men at the
bar. The jury could believe in a ghost
but not in an English ghost speaking

FIeshmaking Food.

Cream Cruel, according to an emf
nent English authority, is the ideal
nourishment for thin folk. A teacupful
taken at night Immediately before re-
firing is said to give marvellous results.
To be at its best it must be perfectly
made, then thinned with sweet cream.
Taken In that condition and warm, it
is agreeable as we'll as fattening and
produces just that sense Of satisfied
hunger essential to ideal rest. 1t Is
claimed that perseverance in the treat
ment yields such apparent results that
the cheeks can be seen to expand from
day to day.

The pepper vine grows best in a
wooded valley where there is plenty Of
moisture and abundant foliage to pro
tect it from the heat Of the sun. 1t Is
given a rude sort of cultivation. The
growers plant it, keeping the grass
from its roots, and when the tree near
which it is planted has no lower
branches strings or poles are placed In
proper position to enable the vine to
climb the tree 1t needs no further at

Pensions In New Zealand.

New Zealand looks after its old folks.
Every person Of siXty-fve years and
upward who has lived for twenty-five
years in the colony, has enjoyed a toll
erably good character during that peri
cd and led a sober, respectable life for
at least five years past is entitled to an
old age pension Ogt Of the state funds.
1t is provided, however, that no pension
can be awarded where the income from
other sources exceeds $500 4 year or
where the applicant has more than
1880 worth of property. Asiatics and
other aliens are ineligible. Wives draw
a pension as well as their husbands,
provided the total income Of the house
hold does not exceed $500 a year. The
full state pension is 800 year, but 50
is deducted for every s. Of income over
$40 derived from other sources. Thus
a pensioner with 5000 a year income
would draw $50 as his old age pension.

About Rheumatism.

There are few diseases that inflict
more torture than rheumatism and
there probably no disease for which
such varied and useless lot of rem
edies have been suggested. To say
that it can be cured is, therefore, a
bold statement to make, but Chamber
la1n's Pain Balm, which enjoys an ex-
tensive sale, has met with great sue
cess in the treatment of this disease
One application Of Pain Balm will re.

cures by its use. Why suffer when
Pain Balm affords such quick relief

HAvRE, MoNT.-The death of sheep herder

rounding an italian, giving the name of Mike
in custody in this city on suspicion that he
was member of the Black Hand Of San
Francisco. who early in April of last year as
Italian in Montana has all along been mex
plicable. The Identification of the body of the
dead sheep herder as that of the mysterious
credit carried by Rosa found in the pock-
cts Of the dead man and the marks on the
throat made at the time he attempted to kill
himself served to positively connect the dead
man with the mysterious italian. 1t is the
supposition that Rosa returned to Montana and
hired out as a slleep-herder.

- Madison, Wis, June 6-Manager Angel of
the university athlete department returned from.
Chicago last night and announced that Mime.
sofa and Michigan had both agreed to. cancel
the contracts for football games with Wisconsin
next fall. This makes 1t possible for hun to
schedule games for next year, as all OF the regu-
lations laid down by the faculty have been com
piled with, the most; important one having been
that no. football should be played with Mime
sofa, Michigan or Chicago. Manager Angel saw
Dr.. Williams of Minnesota and Baird of Mich
igan in Chicago, and. they informed him that
the contracts had been cancelled
Madison games that possible are with
Iowa and Indiana. Neither one has been de-
cided upon as yet, but it is believed that one
or both will be arranged and the effort of the
Wisconsin authorities is to have the teams come
here to play. So far the negotiations with east
ern schools have not resulted in any games
being arranged.
Angel at once proceeded to GET busy with
Illinois, and he and Huff arranged for Wiscon
sin-rllinois game to be played at Urbana either

later? This will be the first game with Illinois
