GIVE GHOST BLACK EYES.
Fearless Youths Spoil Fun of Mean
Spook Who Frightened Timid
Young Lasses.

Philadelphia.--It was very much
ehagrined and sore ghost" that
limped home from the vicinity of st.
Marys cemetery, Gloucester, late one
night recently. For weeks the ghost"
had had fun of its own, frightening
many timid lasses whose waists were
concealed my manly coat sleeves, for
that particular vicinity is a favorite
spot for twos of kind in the spring
evenings. Many Of the more timid
ones Stunned the place, declining in
Vitations to go for walk, and the
enshrouded spook was about having
the field all to itself when some hardy
young men of the neighborhood de-
cided that the time had arrived to
bring about change.
They gathered in numbers amid the
shadows OF the trees, silent and de-
termined. They had not been posted
long when the white-robed figure ap.
peared along the walk. Some of them
felt a tri1e creepy, even then, but
the Drawer among them led the at
tack, and In about four minutes that
ghost was loudly crying for mercy.
What the crowd of youths did to it
was enough. They slammed it and
pounded it and thumped it, tore its
white shroud to shreds and gave it
black eyes and such kicks as will COM

will have their walks again.

The Unfortunate Would Leap In a.
Bullfrog Fashion.

some description, for everybody had
a smile.
When Hunt joined the rapidly swell
Ing ranks to investigate he saw
man on his hands and knees eating
grass with seeming relish. The unfor
tunate would leap in bullfrog fash
ion from one bunch Of clover grass to
another, chew a cud and swallow it..
He tackled couple Of shrubs rather
ravenously and seemed oblivious to
the surrounding and laughing crowd.
Hunt climbed over the wall and
grabbed the grass eater, who became
offended and sought to escape. He
fought for few minutes, when he
suddenly became pacifed. Then he
dropped to his knees again and insist
ed on eating more grass.
When the prisoner saw water he
became unmanageable and frantic.
His peculiar behavior led to the be-
lief that he had hydrophobia, al
though he made no attempt at biting
the policeman. The only other evil
dence Of ngdrophobia was his propen-
sity to growl like a dog.
After being attended by an ambu-
lance surgeon the man was taken to
Bellevue. He became very wild and
excited there. He was placed in the
alcoholic ward, but he is not sup
posed to be affected by intoxicants.
His violense increased to such an ex-
tent that he had to be put in re.
straining apparatus.
After he had been quieted some he
was questioned as to his identity. He
muttered William Brennan" That
is supposed to be his name. He
stared in blank amazement when
asked for his address.

CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY.
New Discovery Has Revolutionized
the Treatment of Skin Diseases.

Nothing in the history of medicine
has ever approached the success Of the
marvellous skin remedy known as pos
lam, which, it is safe to say, has cured
more cases of eczema and skin diseases
than any remedy ever offered for these
ills.
Inc success of poslam is not at all
SURPRISING when it is considered that
even a very small quantity applied to
the skin stops itching Immediately and
cures chronic cases in two weeks. The
very worst cases of eczema, as we'll as
acne, herpes, letter, piles, salt rheum,
rash, crusted humors, scaly scalp and
everv form of itch, yield to it readily.
Blemishes such as pimples, red noses,
muddy and inflamed skin disappear al
most Immediately when poslam is ap-
Piled the complexion being cleared over
