A Haunted Library.

One of the most curious ''hauntings'
occurs in a northern castle of great u n
tiquity, where Mary, queen of Scots,
rested when she was being conveyed a
prisoner through England. 1t is mani
tested in the library and takes the
form that the books cannot be kept in
order. They move about or are moved
about from shelf to shelf. If you ar
range the works of Shakespeare in cor
rect order on II shelf by next morn
ing the volumes are scattered anyhow
on different shelves. This has gone on
for years. At different times the IL
brary has been searched and locked,
watches have been set all night. serv-
ants have come and gone, but the mys-
terious occurrence goes on and Is
vouched for. not by the family. but by
the guests who have stayed in the
house. There is no legend to account
for it.-LondOn Mail.

tossed the end around the collar.

Two hundred miles distant, in a
Cheyenne hospital. an old man had
suffered a sudden sinking spell. There
was no time to send for his only rela-
tive, a cowpuncher, in another part of
the state, so the nurse, a pale, sweet

the weakening voice of old David Nor

And later in the day, when there
was no more to be done, Nan Drew
took the letters and boarded the train
that would reach Onderdonk Creek at
daylight the following morning. Once
there, she went to the hotel and sent
word to Keeter's ranch for Phinl Nor
ris to come to her.
She was hardly prepared for the
strapping young man whose head al
most touched the ceiling of the hotel
parlor and whose big voice filed every
nook and Granny of the room.
And Phin was plainly embarrassed
in the presence of the pretty little
nurse who had come all the way from

Uncle David had conided all his af-

and with such tact that Phin felt al
most glad that his uncle had chosen

said Phin. looking down at her deli

Stone Melon PATCH.
Young Man Near Silver Lake Grows
$4,000 ON Three Acres.

Fred stone. a young farmer living be-
tween Topeka and Silver Lake. stood in
his famous 3-acre watermelon patch the
other day and swung booted foot in
semicircle over 400 pounds of melons.
And he did It without moving from his
track. Eight monster Tom Watson
melons averaging so pounds each grew
in one near solid cluster.
1t was just one of the hundreds OF
such clusters covering this three acres
of bottom land. 1t is undoubtedly the
best cultivated watermelon patch in
Kansas. Last year. one of the worst
seasons in the history of the state,
Stone grew just as m. ny watermelons
on this thrifty three acres as he did
this year.
Stone has not cleaned out the patch
but figures that $1,000 melons constitute
the product. T. w. Adamson, to Topeka
has purchased nearly 4 carloads from
this Stone patch, which lies snugly
away between a hedge row. q wood, a
corn field and the river.
Stone believes III raising Watermelons
by a mixture Of brains now and then,
with brute strength and labor. He Gull
tivates and tickles the soil Of this sandy
loan as though it was a flower garden.
So much blowing. SO much turning
over every year-the product of the late
summer tells the tale. For eight years
Stone has made a study and a practice
of watermelon growing-he is an au-
thority On their culture.

A BILLION DOLLARS.
south American Exports Turn to U. S.
rs Result of War.

Washington, Sept. 8.-A billion dol
lar export field is awaiting the United
States in South America as a result of
the European war. according to fig
ures of South American trade given
out by the Pan American Union today.
The South American imports from
Europe last year, now almost entirely
cut off, amounted to slightly under one
billion dollars.
AS against this sum South America
took from the United States imports
valued at 17.323,294. II two-thirds
of the South American imports are df-
verted from Europe to the markets Of
this country the United States will
shortly have an export trade to South
America of considerably over one bill
lion dollars.
Hitherto South America has held a
balance of trade against this country.
the imports Of the United States from
South America being $500, 1872. 304 last
year. While this trade will probably
increase as the result Of shutting off
Europe from this country, the increase
will hardly keep pace with the vast
needs of the South American repub-
lies and the balance of trade should
swing to the United States to the ex-
tent of at least $250.0O0,0O0.
The total trade of South America
last year was $2,S7O.17S.575. OF this
total the imports were valued at ST.
3O4, 261,76S and the exports at $685.
916,S12. This gives Latin America a
favorable balance of 1851, 655,O49.

sents the excellent play, 1.-THE Lost

the strongest photoplay players the
industry has ever known. The Para
mount corporations announcement in
the last issue of the Saturday Evening
Post gives the players a very clear
idea of what is in store for theater
goers at the Iris. The Paramount pic
ture corporation has the capital, the
enterprise and the actors necessary to
carry out in the most minute detail
the remarkable program it has
mapped out. Topeka people will later

tude of this enterprise and thereby be
able to appreciate and enjoy the pro-
gressive plan which the Iris has
