A GHOST STORY.
Tho Crowd of Phanton,s That Daxed
Three Young Women.


An experience wherein phantoms
presented themselves TO view In pro-
dglous numbers simultaneously Is re-
lated by young lady 4hose name, at
her request, is withheld, the narrative
being Endorsed by her sister. who was
with her ut the time. She writes:
zone autumn night my sister and
myself, with our maid. were returning
from evening service in the village
church. There was Il thick fog. The
moon was fun, but it made sort of
steam in the fog instead of shining
brightly. Suddenly saw man at
my sisters side, who had come there
without making Il sound. pulled her
sleeve. whispering. Let the man pass.
AS spoke the man Disappeared.
"ln another moment we wcro oil be-
wildcrcd al the sight around us. 1t
was az If we were In IL crowded street,
iunumcrablc figures surrounding us.
Men. women and children were NOV
ing brsl,ly about, some singiy, others
in groups. but all without sound.
Some seemed TO rise out of the grass
the other side. The women were
dressed IN bygonc fashion, with high
hornets and shawls and large flounces
OH their dresses.
"Therc was one very tall man who
took great strides. though perfectly
motlonlcss. We approached our own
gate. where we should turn In, and
then we had long driveway to walk
up before we could reach the house. |
think that by the time we had reached
the gate all the figures had disappear
cd except this one tail man. He hHd
quite different look from any OF the
othcrs-morc horrible altogether. AS
We entered our gate, TO our intense re-
lief. he passed by along the road and
vanished. OF course we were all very
frightened. The maid and my sister
were crying aloud"
In Il case like this, where the same
spectral phenomena are witnessed by
several persons, the value Of the testi-
mony obviously Is multiplied hun
dredfold, for, while ono individual may
be a victim of Il Authorization. such an
illusion can hardly be shared by many
What, then. Is TO be said In answer to
such evidence, furnished by Opponents
of unlmpcachablc character and rcpu-
tation for trutlfnlncss? To suppose
that they are combining In the manu-
facture of Il lie is scarcely reasonable.

A Way to Tell Time or to Find tho
Height OF Mountain.
Two strangers in New York from the
rural regions were strolling along the
Battery wall one day a policeman
ioycd gayly with his tasseed billy.
One Of the farmers rcmarled: "Cobc,

Cobc approached the policeman. Say,

the officer replied when do 1t sct?"
'Whut? Jcr,hink I'm or ainnnacY
Nav, but jcr-ort ter know sumpn'."
See that gun over there on the Is
land? When she fires the sun have
set"
The farmers were much annoyed.
They did not intend to wait for the dis
charge of the cannon. y gentleman In
specs came along. He looked like n
professor of something. Mister, kin
YOU tell us when the sun do set today?"
'Ah. The going down OF the same?
Certainly. Today-today-le me cal
culntc. Yes, yes, Tho sun sets today
at exactly four minutes after q"

zon heavcnward. In sighting. the out
side of the little finger was at the hori-

was just one hour above. Each "hand"

The city of Corunna, where Sir John
Moore was killed, is seaport at the
entrance to the estuary of the Nero
river. 315 miles northwest of Madrid.
The famous poem by Charles Wolfe

the burial, for Moore was not buried
Mt night with "our lanterns dimly
burning" but in the early morning of n
rainy day. and the assemblage OF Eng
fish officers round the grave was dis
persed by heavy artillery fire from the
French batteries, the gunners mistak-
ing the purpose of the gathering.
