The Lady Was No. .h. Ghost.

An Irish family once had ghost so troublesome that they sent for detec- lives. One of these men late at night fell asleep in his chair. The lady of the horse ctanced to come into the room aud could not resist the tempta- tion to groau ard rattle her keys. She had never played ghost before. It was momentary indiscretion. But the po- liceman did not and could hardly be expected to believe this. He said 1t was hardly worth while to bring him from Dublin, and he withdrew in dudg- con. Yet the lady was not really the ghost. He was sulking in retirement; hence doubt has been cast on the ghosts of haunted houses even among refecting minds.-London News.

CANNON'S AUTHORITY TIA T

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The

Maybe everybody doesn't realize
the fact, but nevertheless it's so.

count on the aforesaid god helping
him out of every hole.

Ought To Be"-that is, as they
ought to be, according to Speaker
Cannon-has it's habitat in the
eight ponderous tones which con-
stltute the "Precedents of the
House of Representatives" There
isn't any power above that con-

There may be places in the pre-

to substantiate the statement that
black is black-but, then, there's

that white is black. It's all accord
