Do you believe in ghosts!
You don't?
Well, for belief one way or the
other much has been said, but this is
the true story Of doubling Thomas"
who stopped scoffing and started to
think, following singular incident
which he will probably remember to
the end of his life. That the "singu-
lar incident" eventually tailed off to
commonplace conclusion has nothing
to do with the main story.
Some two years or more ago S. B..
Caldwell of Paducah died. we'll loved
by the entire community. His tall,
spare form and long white beard had
been familiar sights in the Kentucky
city and were missed accordingly.
Quite recently S. B. Caldwell, Jr..
a son of the Kentuckian. purchased a
kodak and new roll of films to graf
ify long-cherished ambition to take
photographs "all by himself"
A vine-twined summer house is a
feature Of Caldwell's back lawn, and
therein he gathered his children, fol-
lowing his purchase, to take their pic
lures. The photograph was taken on
the first of a roll of IL films, Just
purchased as new from a neighboring
druggist. Furthermore. Caldwell is a
good photographer for an amateur and
made no mistakes in developing his
films later, but when, in the CHASTITY
glare of a shaded lamp in the dark
room. he scrutinized the result of his
mornings work he saw something in
the picture which made him start
back In horror.
Grouped about the little house on
the lawn were his children and beside
them their old colored nanny" but
staring at him from beneath the white
skirt Of one Of his little girls was an
unmistakable likeness Of his dead and
long-buried father.

DEMOCRATS Will

At Least That 10 Belief Of Norman

Article.

Chicago, Nov. 24.-Chairman Nor
man e. Mack of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, makes it clear in a
signed article In the December num-
Der of the National Monthly, the or
gan of the Democratic National Com
mittees, that he believes democracy
will triumph in the congressional cleo
tions next year.
Chairman Mack says:
with the President and leading
members Of Congress on the hastings
explaining and excusing, and with the
sugar trust scandals confronting them,
and with local elections going stead.
lily against the dominant party the
coming congressional campaign pre-
sents the opportunity for a splendid
fight. The issues of next year will
differ In form, though not materially
in fundamental principle, from the is.
sues on which many city victories
have been won. Democracy's fight in
the municipalities as it will be in the
congressional districts next year is
for more representative government.
We want the members of congress in,
stead of Speaker Cannon to deter
mine what legislation is good for the
, country and what is bad. In the cit
les the Democratic candidates op-
posed the domination of local govern
ment by either fanatical reform
agencies on the one hand or public
service and contracting corporations
pm the other. The fight this year, was
for government which more quickly
and surely reflects the will of the
majority"

they are SO very sly that they do

The business men, that is the men
who sell groceries and dry goods and

the shops and about turpentine plants,
the factories and lumber mills, will
make just as strong and a little
stronger fight for prohibition than the

up.
The merchants with one accord,
it is stated, will say that they sell
very large per cent more dry goods
and groceries now than when the
saloons were wide open. The facto-
ries can now get their men to work
six days in the week when under the
