SOME SHORT STORIES BY YOUNG JUNIOR WRITERS

pie had a dread Of the place. A re-
ward was offered to anybody who
would remain in the house a night to
investigate. But nobody seemed to
have the courage.
Not far from the main building was
a large dance hall and every year a
grand ball was given to the people of
the village. On this particular even
ing the dance was given and everybody
had enjoyed a merry time, dancing.
laughing and talking. About 1 o'clock
the village folk began to don their
wraps, when suddenly all were startled
and eyes were drawn in the same direc-
ton. A white form was seen float
ing from the chimney. 1t did not take
the people long to empty the hall.
Night after night this thing occurred.
Finally in the village papers it was
published that some man had agreed
to investigate. He said that he was
not afraid and made fun OF the peo-
pie for their simple notions as he
called it. So one night he started out
and stood against the chimney waiting
for the ghost By and by, when il
came, he threw his arms around 1t and
to his great surprise 1t was nothing
but smoke. Further Investigations led
to the discovery that a number Of
tramps from the outskirts Of the VIII
lage had taken lodging there and the
smoke came from their fires

The Haunted House
by MARGARET LINDSAY

The house stood on the hill in the
little village of Yorkshire. But be-
fore going on with the story we will
have to learn something of it's first
occupants.
Lord and Lady harrington, with their
only daughter, Ellen, lived very happily
and In luxury. The house was large
and spacious and the grounds around
1t were beautiful, with fountains here
and there. Lord harrington had been
well liked and attended clubs and diff
ferent functions Of society. He also
went travelling with Lady Harrington
and Ellen every year and spent his
money lavishly. In social way he
liked to see others enjoy themselves.
This kind of life lasted for some
years and seemed to be all right so far
as outsiders knew, but finally things
seemed to take a change. Lord Far
rington had become bankrupt.
There Lived at this time in the viii
lage a Mr., Cox, very stern and hasty
tempered man to whom Lord Earring
ton was indebted.
One day in the middle of September
Mr.. Cox and Lord Harrington had
serious interview, which ended fatally,
for Lord Harrington had been shot and
Mr., Cox, to hide his crime, had him
Immediately buried in the basement OF
Lord Farrington's home. Lady Far
rington and Ellen knew nothing Of
what had happened, but the villagers
suspected it. Nothing was revealed
until years afterward. The house was
never occupied after this and 1t be-
came dilapidated. The story was al
ways told and never forgotten
About Is years afterward it was
whispered that the old mansion was
haunted. Several had claimed to have
seen ghosts fly past them, and so peo-

Horse, Dog and Man

The horse and the dog had tanned a

And the dog looked solemn and shook
his head, and said: I'm a goat if

The poor man groaned and tried to get
loose, and sadly he begged them:
stay!
You will rob me OF things for which
have use, by cutting my thumbs
awayl
You will spoil my looks, you will cause
me pain! Ah, why would you treat
me so?
best! o masters, pray let me go!"
The dog laughed out. and the horse re-
piled: "Oh, the cutting won't hurt
you; see?
as you did in your docking of me!
God gave you your thumbs and all, but
still, the Creator, you know, may
To do the artistic thing as He did in
furnishing me with a taif!''
So they bound the man and cut off his
thumbs, and were deaf to his pitt

And they scared the stumps and they
viewed their work through happy
and dazzled eyes.

THE COUNTY NEWSPAPER
AS AN INSTRUCTOR

The county newspaper is one OF
the strongest teachers known to
modern times and its scope is al
most unbounded. The American
citizen is a reader of his home pa
per, not only reader but an adj
mirer as well. The children are
taught to reverence it's visitation
and to pursue it's columns and note
its citations.
The editor of a country newspa-
per holds responsible position. In
fact, it is about the most response
BILE of all the professions. He adj
dresses at least five thousand peos
pie each week, and some of them
: at least fifty thousand. They are
silent auditors, yet tho. influence
the paper has over its supporters
and admirers is truly of interest.
The editor may never know, and,
in fact, will meyer know, the ex-
tent of his influence for good or bad.
The careful editor gives the people
that which is beneficial to their up
lift; the careless editor plunges into
anything that appears to make his
paper frey, peppery and caustic.
The sensible editor and publisher
weighs every line that enters the
columns of his papee and places be-
hind it all a personality that wins
in the end.
A competent teacher is always
fitted for his task. He has some
thing more in mind than simply no
toriety, for he well knows that
character is above price, and that
a paper without character is as
weak as an individual who does not
possess that which maketh a man
Give newspaper character and
there is no power that can stop it's
