LAND OF STORIES
HAUNTERS HAUNTED.
BY FRANK II. WILLIAMS.

The ghost of John Reed, the new
member of the Society of implaca
BILE Haunters, rose to it's feet and
in a ghostly voice piped forth.
"Gentlemanly ghosts spoke the
ghost of John Reed, Il greatly de-
sire to have this honorable organ

De Forest, an old enemy of mine
He is shrewd guy and foreclosed
a mortgage on my ancestral home,

The matter being put to a vote,
the society unanimously voted in
favor of the haunting. and under
the guidance of Spook Reed, i'm

home. Arrived at that spot, the

They had not proceeded far, how

ensued.

members of the society forward,
and at last he led them into the
De Forest bedroom. The spooks
draped themselves appropriately
around the bed, and the president
of the society began his regular in
cantation. Much to the astonish-
ment of Ghost Reed, of the presi-
dent, and all the other members of
the society. the haunting was not
productive of the expected screams
of fear from De Forest.
An astonished inspection was
made of the bed, and it was found
to be empty! Just at this point a
sepulchral laugh resounded through
the room. Despite themselves all
the ghosts jumped. Instead of ter
rorizing a victim, they themselves
were becoming frightened. Then
their hair fairly went on end when
particularly horrifying denizen
of ghostdom crawled from beneath
the bed, glided through the open
door and closed and locked 1t.

i in founding the University OF Chicago.
Today. public announcement was made
of a single and inal'' gift of $40, o0O, 900.
which includes all the contributions Mr.
Rockefeller had planned.
This sum to be paid in 10 annual in
staImcnts beginning Jan. !, will make
approximately $35,000.000 he has do
mated to the university.
Mr.. Rockefeller says he now believes
the school should be supported and en-
larged by tho gifts of many rather than
those Of u single donor. This. he be-
lieves Will be better accomplished II
the public understands the limit Of his
contemplated assistance.
The founding of new departments he
leaves to the trustees MS lie says funds
may be furnished by other friends.
Nearly .sI,0Oo.00O has been donated
to the university In addition to Mr..
Rockefeller's gifts.
With the announcement Of MI Rock
cfellcrs final donation came the resig-
nation of John d. Rockefeller, Ir., and
Fred T, Gates, Mr.. Rockcfcller's per-
sonal representative, from the univer-
sity board of trustees. In enclosing
these designations, MIR. Rockefeller ex-
planned he WAS carrying out a convic-
ton that% the institution should be
controlled, conducted and supported
by the people, with whom, up to now,
he had simply been cooperating.
Mr.. Rockcfeller's idea. as it is I'M
dorstood. Is that he is turning over
the institution and its endowment to
Chicago and tho west. and in so doing
withdraws from any further represent
tation in its control.

of the gift, said:
II would be difficult to describe adj

iidcncc and receive further impetus
through the aid OF other bencfactors.
IN withdrawing from an ac-
tive participation in tho affairs
of the university, the founder
has left no cause for disappointment
IN the material side, but there arc sen
tincntal considerations which cannot be
overlooked and in measuring the ben
eiits which the university has derived
from his interest in it's welfare. there
must be taken into account not only the
great sum of his bcnefactions and, the
wisdom with which they are bestowed.
but also the constant encouragement
derived from his personal interest ana
sympathy.
Mingled. however, with the regret
that Mr., Rockefeller should deem it
wise to sever the ties that have united
the founder to tho university. there is
recognition Of the force of the reasons
given for this action. and there Is the
conviction that in thus anticipating all
he had in mind to do for the univer-
sity and in withdrawing his rcpresen-
tatives from the board of trustees, Mr..
Rockefeller Is moved solely by a desire
TO promote the welfare of the institu-
ton he founded"
