RHODES BELIEVED IN GHOSTS
"Empire Builder Superstltlous as
Well as untidy Man.

In his recently published book Of
travel, Mr.. A. X. Colquhoun has set
down some "reminiscences OF Cecil
Rhodes, whom he knew to have been
afraid Of ghosts.
"At one time he shared a house In
Adderley street, Cape Town, with two
other men, and that house was haunt
ed. The ghostly visitant tramped
about at night, and so powerfully did
he affect the nerves Of his fellow
dodgers that neither Rhodes nor the
other two would ever sleep alone in
the house! My informant has himself
occupied the house, and, without know
ing Its reputation, was disturbed by
footsteps in the night. He complained
to Rhodes next morning, and learned
the fact that the empire builder was
not proof against superstition. The
mystery was never solved"
The traveller describes Rhodes as
the worst dressed man he had ever
seen. "His old felt hat was battered
and dirty, his trousers bagged at the
knees, and his coats at the pockets" +"
He was "a firm believer in the power
Of the dollar, and had no false shame
about his methods. l remember once
he said, speaking Of man who was
notoriously upright, OF course, you
can't 60 and plank down a bag OF dol
lars in front Of him; he would kick
you out; but there are ways!"

Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Kneeland Of

anniversary of their wedding. The
husband is 81 years of age and his
good wife 92 They have had dozen
children, and after a long life of tire
less industry they decided to give up
their little home and deed 1t to the
town, in return for which they we're
to be cared for for the remainder Of
their days. This involved going to the
town farm, where they have been
given two comfortable rooms where
they do light housekeeping.

Johnny on Baths.

Mrs. Phelps-Stokes, the young and
brilliant Socialist worker, recounted,
at Socialist meeting in New York,
her amusing experiences amongst
slum children
On the subject of baths In winter
she said:
II expostulated the other week with
one of those mothers, who at the be-
ginning of cold weather sew their lit
tie ones up in flannels, freeing them
with the return Of spring. persuaded
this mother to bathe her children reg
ularly. Then, recently, / visited her
again.
"'well,' said, how do the winter
baths go?'
"'The children don't like 1t, ma'am,
said the mother. Johnny refused his
bath positively yesterday. He said you
could do as you liked, and he would
do as he liked. You like to be cold
and clean-he likes to be warm and
dirty"

SHERIFF NABS A THIEF
Valpo Man Steals Horses
From His Own Brother
Last Night.

Sheriff F. S. Carter has another horse
thief to his credit, although he was not
directly responsible for his capture
Deputy Sheriff Wood of Valparaiso no
titled Sheriff Carter late last night that
some one had taken a team of horses
hitched to a wagon from in front OF
the public square in Valparaiso and
had disappeared in the direction OF
Chicago.
Sheriff Carter at once started out
after the horse thief and this morning
received word that man with a team
answering to the description of the
missing outfit was at the roadhouse of
John Jackson, who lives at the inter
section of the Hobart road and Broad
way.
Sheriff Carter telephoned back to
the roadhouse to detain the man until
he could arrive. When the driver of
the outfit, who proved TO be George
Biner, the brother of the man from
whom the rig was stolen, attempted
to leave Jackson's, Mr. Jackson told
him that the sheriff was after him
and that he might as we'll not try to
get away.
George Biner saw that the jig was
up and so he calmly waited for the
arrival of the officer who was to ar
rest him. 1t was peculiar situation,
that of waiting for the sheriff to put
him under arrest and perhaps send him
TO the penitentiary.
