REWARD FOR TENANT
Owner of House Offers $50 for
an Occupant.
Landlord Also viii Give Free Rent to
Negro Who Promises to Make
"Haunted" Building His
Residence.

Kent, Conn.-"Fifty dollars cash bo-
nus and two months rent free to any
body who will live not less than two
months in this house"
Such is the sign which Ezra Blake,
wealthy land owner, has put up on
one of his houses in the negro quar-
ter near here.
Among negroes the house is reputed
"haunted." Until a month ago 1t was
perfectly self-respecting house,
never known to have any spiritual Wis
itors. But the last tenants, couple
named Jackson, after living in 1t for
five years, had ghostly visitor one
night, and since then Mr.. Blake has
been unable to rent the house.
The Jacksons are considered truth
full people. At any rate, their neigh
bors believe them. Mrs. jackson de-
clares that ghost chased her up
the back stairs and Mr.. Jackson cor
robcrates her.
Mr.. jackson was first to hear queer
noises and he aroused his wife Joseph
inc.
Josephine" he called to her,
"thar's suah an awful queer SCUM IN
de cellar!"
Josephine listened, and sure enough,
she heard low moaning. Jackson
said he'd investigate this matter thor
oughly."
Josephine" he said, without tire
NOR you go down in the cellar and
see wha' TO- that noise is. Eff you
need any help, why jes call me, that's
all, jes' call me-"
Josephine demurred, but Mr.. Jack
con was firm, SO Josephine went
downstairs.
He didn't have long to wait Joseph
inc came flying back, shrieking: Nah
gracious! It's arter mel"
Mr.. Jackson didn't wait to see what
"it'' was, but sprang through the win
dow to the porch roof and slid down
a post to the ground. The last 10
sephine saw of him he was sprintine
up the road.
Now, Mr.. Jackson is very devoted
to his wife, and he'd have given
$4,000, if he had it, so he said after
wards, to have had that ghost right
then. What he would have done to
it would have been a-plenty.
AS it was he hoofed it right along tc
his neighbors and told his story.
Mr.. Jackson and his neighbcrs re
turned to the house to rescue Joseph
inc. but when they reached the house
her shrieks had ceased.
Presently young Nose Johnson es
pied g flmy white figure fitting pas
the upstairs window. He let fly al
apple. 1t hit the white robed figure
square in the face. The head was
poked out of the window.
Nose Johnson it shrieked. "Tl
smash yo' everlastin good TO- nuhir
happy head TO you"
It sounded like the voice Of Joseph
inc. And, in fact, as Nose did a quick
step up the road Josephine dartec
down the back stairs.
Nothing could induce Josephine tc
return though her husband limited tC
her that her attire was not quite the
thing for the street. The couple spent
the rest of the night at Neighbor
Websters house down the road.
Since then not colored person has
crossed the threshold of the haunt
ed house"
Mr. Blake recently spent consider
able money repairing the place and
he says he does not propose to be
robbed of his house by a supersti-
tious prejudice"

the right spot he would look down at
