f4fl Florence Carney, and wish also, to give you power of attorney so that from this time on, you can conduct the estate in my stead and supply her with such funds as she may need. l do not expect to spend much time at Carney-Croft and I want these mat ters attended to now, before go there at all
 His ideas were so thoroughly in ac- cord with his duty to his sister that was now anxious to carry them out at once as he requested, lest another op- portunity might never occur. It took but short time to arrange the details of the will, and then it and the power of attorney were signed by him in trembling hand and witnessed by members of my office staff.
 When these formalities were over and we were alone again, MT. Carney said abruptly:
 T am going to Carney-Croft tonight and have wired Florence to have a carriage for me at the midnight train and not to sit up. 1 don't expect to stay there long, and I should think it would be better to close the place and have her take a house here in town where she would be more comfort able"
 T made the same suggestion my self,' I replied, but she wrote that she felt perfectly safe at home, and

tails of your fathers death?" asked in most matter of fact tone.
 "No, thank you" he said, with some effort q found long letter from Florence at my hotel this morning and she has told me everything. I wish merely to arrange some money affairs with you and make my will, and I wish to do so at once."
 How much money do you need for the present." I asked, sarcastically.
 "How much money do I need' he repeated, in bewildered tone. Why, I don't need any. 1 have all the ready cash that I want. l only want to ar range for the future, you know"
 Very glad to hear it." l observed dryly Now, as to your. will. Do you think, MT. Carney, that your state of mind today is such that you are quite ready to make will? Would 1t not be better for you to wait day or so until-er-until you have had an op- portunity to rest from your journey and your-ahem-your health has i'm proved somewhat"
 I regretted my words on the instant. In spite of the mans condition, they seemed to have cut him to the quick. An expression of anguish, pitiful to see, passed over his face and his whole body trembled. After a moment he said slowly with the same wonderful self-control:
 My health, as you choose to call it. MT. Ware, will not improve to any ap- preciable degree, and my mind is, at this moment, as clear as it will ever be. I wish you to draw up will leav- ing everything 1 possess to my sister,

 q suppose they all came back to Hoskins' after seeing this wonderful sight" I remarked.
 You bet they did, an they come a. runnin', too," said the man. "I never seen a scarder lot O men in my life" Made pretty good business for Hos- kins that night, eh?' 1 ventured.
 Wal, 1 guess it did!" he rejoined, with a grin. An it'll keep right on maxim good business fur him, too! Them fellers won't git over talkin' O that fur a month O Sundays!"
 How did they get home that night?" I continued persuasively.
 His grin broadened as he chuckled t"Them as couldn't walk had to ride home in this ere rig. Haow l ever piled so many in is more'n I kin tell" and he laughed immoderately at the thought.
 50 when business is good with Hoskins it's likely to be good with you, too, eh?" I went on.
 Most ginerally," he replied. Most ginerally; less Hoskins gifts all their money fore they're ready fur me an their credit ain't no good"
 And when the men aren't working at Carneys they spend good deal of time at Hoskins', don't they?" I asked.
 "Yes, an good deal O money, too, :" he rejoined. "Ole Carney allus paid 'em well; nobody can't deny that"
 "So it's good thing for Hoskins and good thing for you, to get them away from the place every little while" l suggested warly
 T s'pose it is, an I s'pose we can't neither of us help it if they want to leave" he returned sullenly and with sudden suspicion as lie pulled his horse up sharply at the station plat form.
 My train arrived in few moments, and as l was about to step aboard l drew the fellow toward me and said to li,in in low tone, that others might not hear:
 "The men were quite right about the ghosts. l saw them myself, from my window, perfectly distinctly and exactly as you have described them
 The car was already moving and swung up on the step and left him standing bewildered.

 Ye see" he continued, in explana- tion, "old Carney wouldn't never give a cent to anybody that was able to earn it, an when the parson come to him an ast him to help the widder, all he sez was, Send that big hulk of boy up here an I'll give him a job an good pay so'z he kin support his mother like a man. he sez, but l won't give her damn penny so long as he's able to work an earn it, he sez"
 But you haven't explained yet why the men left, 1 persisted, for we were nearing our destination and my time was growing short.
 Pm a-gittin to that" he replied. "Ye see, Carney was such a mean, stingy cuss that, what with his drink in an gamblin' an other vices, the widder allus claimed he'd never rest easy in his grave. When the boy was killed she carried on like crazy wom- an, an swore the place would allus be ha'nted less the estate did the honest thing by her an give her enough to pay her fur the loss of her son. That night, more fur fun than anything else, a lot of the fellers that was a. settin' daown to Hoskins' went up by the haouse 'raound midnight, but they didn't see nuthin'. The nex' night that's after you come-they all went up again, an I tell you they all come back a-fyin'."
 What did they seer" I asked, with renewed interest, as a sudden idea en- tered my head
 That's more'n I know" said the man, turning and looking me squarely in the face, but they said they seen two ghosts, one fur the old man, an one fur the boy, aout under the trees in front of the haOuse right where ole Carney fell off his hoss! Every one of 'em seen the same thing, an when nine men agrees to dot on thing O this kind it's pretty hard, even fur church member, not to believe it.
 They'll all tell ye the same story. The boy was a-swayin' back an forth, jest as he did after the hoss kicked him, an the ole ma. kind O hoverin' an bendin over him like he was in

Worse Inside Than Out.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
 Prince Haseba. the distinguished Jap- anese, referred at dinner in Spokane to the cleanliness of his nation.
 If you should visit Japanese house. v he said, you would be obliged to re- move your shoes at the doorway. Japan ese floors are beautifully kept I know of some houses where thirty or forty servants have no other duty than the polishing of the floors.
 "A young Japanese student, studying in London, had the misfortune to live in an apartment house where the jani- tor did not keep the hall in good con- dition. It was a great change to him and he felt 1t keenly.
 "On the approach of winter the janitor put up in the entrance the notice: Please wipe your feeet.'
 ''The young Japanese, the first night he observed this notice, took out a pen- cil and added to 1t, On going out ."

ENSLEY IS IN NEED
 OF BOARD OF TRADE
Politics Over and Now is the
 Best Time
SERVICES AT CHURCHES
Surprise Party Given to Young Ladies at Wylam-Mayor-ele Sugg Goes to North Alabama for
 Rest.

Ensley, February 16.-(special)-" Ger tainly Ensley should have a Board of Trade" said a citizen today, one who has always been a prominent and active worker in anything that has ever been promoted that was thought to be for the best interest of the town.
 And now that We are done with poli- tics for awhile, I believe some step will be taken In this direction. The trouble has been that no move could be made by any one on any question of importance to the city but that 1t had to be charged that politics was back of it, and now is the best time for a board to be organized it being just after the election, and the peo- pie can take a little time to go into mat tefs that need their attention, and that have been sorely neglected.
 Tt is not reasonable to believe that a town that has a pay roll of about $4O0, 900 per month, and the largest tonnage of any town in the south, can afford to be with out some kind of an organization to see that proper inducements and courtesies are extended to the manufacturing world and investors, whose eyes have been on Ensley for the past few years watching her marvellous growth. And yet they have to depend on information that perhaps springs from an unreliable source just because there was no bureau of informa- tion, nor a Board of Trade to give them the necessary data"

Melba Vs. Caruso.

Tt is said that when Oscar Hammer stein was preparing to launch himself upon the stormy waters of opera he in- Vited a council of his friends to offer him advce," writes W.J. Henderson in ",rhe Opera," in the February Everybody's. With one accord they said, Either shoot Caruso or get him away from Conrieol. MT. Hammerstein, thus suspended be- tween crime and impossibility, laid his finger beside his nose and said, 'Melba.' Pershance it would cost him less to get Caruso out of the Conriedian fold, for Melba is officially declared to be the highest-priced singer on the lyric stage just now. She asserts that only Patti was ever paid more than she is. Important as tins fact may be, it is still more interest ing to lovers of singing to know that her voice, one of the most beautiful that the world has ever heard. has come back to It's best estate. She sang last summer in London fin such a way that the critics were captiyated by the ravishing beauty of her tones. It is good to have her back, but pity that she is not here for long or stay"
