Ghost Stories
That Are Tnle

some years ago an Illinois pnysl-
clan, DR.. ]. G. w. Entwhistle, living
in one of the Chicago suburbs, was
hurrying one morning to catch train
for that city. AS he crossed street
he saw approaching him an acquaint-
,ance, once well-to-do, who had ruin
ed himself by drink. DR.. Entwhistle,
glancing at him as they met, noticed
that his clothing was torn, his face
bruised, and that there was a cut I'M
der one eye. He noticed, too, that
the other kept looking steadily at him
with a "woe-begone, God-forsaken ex-
preston" Had he not been in such
hurry he would have stopped and
spoken to him, but as it was he pass
ed him with nod.
At the station DR.. Entwhistle met
his hrother-in-law, and said, while the
train was drawing in:
"Oh, by the way, just saw Charlie
M, and he was a sight. He must have
been on terrible tear"
Both men, as it happened, had BUSH
ness at the Grand Pacific hotel and
went directly there from the train.
they were met by a mutual friend
who had copy of the Chicago Trib-
une in his hand.
Hello he greeted them. did you
know that Charlie NJ. is dead? Here is
notice in the paper, stating that his
body is at the morgue He was killed
IN saloon fight. The paper hasn't got
the name quite right, but from
the description it's Charlie sure
enough"
But he can't be dead" said Dr.
EntWhistle aghast, "for it was only a
rev minutes ago that / met him on
the street in Englewood"
nevertheless, it turned out that
Charlie NJ was dead, and that his body
mad been taken to the morgue sew
eral hours before DR.. Entwhistle
thought he saw him in the Chicago
suburb.

One night, shortly after IL o'clock

to the door opening upon the lawn to
beg her to come in and tell me her
sorrow"
When she reached the door the fig
ures of the soldier and the girl were
still plainly visible on the lawn, and
in precisely the same attitude. But
at the sound of her voice they disap-
peared.
Months afterwards, when calling
with her husband at a neighboring
house, she noticed on the wall the por-
trait of distinguished looking man in
a military uniform. At once she rec
ognized it.
THAT" she told her husband in an
undertone sis a picture of the officer
l saw on the lawn"
Aloud she asked:
"Whose portrait is that?"
why" replied her host, sit is a
portrait Of my uncle, Gen. Sir x. Y.
He was born and died in the house
that you now occupy. But why do you
ask?"
When she had told the story, her
host explained:
What you say is most singular For
1t is an unhappy fact that Sir X. Y.'s
youngest daughter, beautiful girl,
brought disgrace upon the family, and
was disowned and driven from home
by her father and died broken
! hearted"

In reference to an item in The Trib-
une last week we wish to say in explana-
ton that our attention has been called to
said item, copied from one of our ex-
changes, proclaiming the disfranchise-
ment of 1900 men in Adams county,
Ohio and that said item would tend tC
leave the reader under the impression
that the majority of them were mem
bers of one particular church. We fine
by consulting the Catholic directory
published by NJ. H. Wiltzins company
Of Milwaukee, that there is no Catholic
church in Adams county nor no resident
priest living in said county, and conse
quently they ought not to be numbered
among the disfranchised politicians o.
that section.
