GHOSTS THAT WALK
IN THE DAYLIGHT

There is little village in Cornwall,
near to the spot where the infamous
Tregeagle once worked his wicked will.
which has a ghost only seen in sum-
mer time. This takes the form Of a
white rabbit. a pretty creature with
soft coat and pink eyes. which gambols
in the long, sweet grass outside the
churchyard wall. Many have seen il
as they pass, but none o fthe villagers
ever stop to watch it. for it has a
strange and unrabbit-like habit OF fol-
lowing the Dasserby.
Once, on a brilliant moonlit August
night a postman found the rabbit at
his heels. He walked faster and faster,
but still the rabbit followed.
At last, in blind fright, ne turned
and struck at the creature with all his
might with his heavy walking stick
He felt the stick strike the little crea-
ture, but instead Of harming it the
Icudgel was splintered. while the rabbit
loped on as il nothing had happened.
There is another story connected
with this rabbit. one evening a stran-
ger to the village passed and saw the
rabbit apd thought nothing of it until
the villagers at the inn told him of its
curious attributes. He jeered and
vowed that if any one would lend him
"a gun he would go and shoot it. Some
told him he was foolish, others said he
would not dare, but one gave him a
gun.
He loaded it and walked whistling
away through the white moonlight
\ long time passed, he did not re-
turn, the men grew anxious and went
to look for him. Beside the church.
yard wall they found him dead. One
barrel of che gun was discharged.
Next evening the rabbit was there. as
usual. gamboling in the long grass.
a little further north, on the high

like elves, who show themselves prin-
cipally upon summer evenings. A
farmer who had been cutting turf on
the moor not far from Mary Tavy was
coming home about o'clock on a July
evening when suddenly. in a Glitter"

Though badly frightened he was so

But before he got very near one must

cries and suddenly he was enveloped

see nothing more and was forced to
stumble blindly back toward his path.

ter little the fog cleared, but all signs
of the pixies were cones.

ROMANTIC WEDDING

friend gave them to understand that
the father of the bride was in the city
and in no especially good humor.
When this was learned they took
council among themselves and it was
decided that the happy couple go into
seclusion which they did in order to
give the father a chance to cool off
bit.
1t seems that the father did not
learn of the marriage until he arrived
in the city, but as soon as he heard
the news he went to the circuit clerks
office. where he learned that the IL
cense had been issued, after which
he became very angry, declaring that
the girl was but IA years of age,
though to this reporter she has the
appearance of being about IS.
The father immediately instituted
search for the couple, but you know
'.the world loves lover" and no one
seemed to know anything about the
couple, and the fathers search was
4 utterly in vain though he continued
it the greater part of last night.
/, The couple will remain in theii
room at the Royal Hotel until this
morning when they will depart fol

The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1907-01-04

AT the beginning of the eighteenth
century the British army had a bad
reputation at home and IL was very
difficult TO get recruits for IT, For this
reason ii was officially proposed TO
find the men by an impressment fall
ing on amy sturdy beggar, fortune
teller or the like idle, unknown, sus-
pected fellow in the parish; or If there
be none such, then anyone that has al
ready been in gaol or before a JUS
tice of the peace for his idle, disorder
ly life" The advice was acted upon.
Debtors were released from prison on
promising TO join the army or the
navy, criminals were pordoned on the
same terms, and persons with no Wis
ible means of subsistence were
marched off to death and glory The
system worked out better than might
have been expected. In the peninslilar
war, for instance, three new regi-
ments were composed entirely of con-
victs, and one made for itself an IL.
lustrious name.

there is custom in French jurispru-

colleagues on the bench, called AS

passed upon certain classes of male
factors. What ought we to give this
rascal, brother?" a Judge in the de-
partment of the Loire asked the asses
sor on his right. Il should say three
years" What is your opinion, broth
err" This to the assessor on the left.
Il should give him four years. "
Whereupon the Judge, assuming an
air of great beEevolence, said: "Pris-
oner, not desiring to impose upon you

ment. as | should have done If left

learned brethren and shall take their

money under false pretences. He had
sold two cords of wood to Mrs. Isaac
Burhans at 1928 per cord The wood
was drawn and thrown off in pile and
the lady paid for two cords. For some
reason she was suspicious and had the
wood piled and measured by reliable
men, and it was found to be over one
half cord short of the two cords which
she had bought and paid for. A war
rant was issued. and Mr.. Harger taken
