An Indian Ghost Story.

Several years ago / had a studio in
Albuquerque, New Mexico, and the
walls of my reception rooms and Of
fee were hung with large photographs
of Indians. One day l was visited by
six men of the Navajo tribe who. after
much smoking and visiting. made
known the real cause of their call. Di-
rectly over my desk was a framed
portrait of one of the old medicine
men of their tribe, who had just died
Believing that a part of his soul was
imprisoned in the portrait-else how
could 1t look so like him they asked
me il ! would not destroy II, so that
his spirit might be released and be at
peace. 1 Immediately took the print
from the frame and tore II into bits
while the men looked on with silent
approval. After thanking me they
each shook my hand in turn and filed
quietly out of the room. They did not
suspect that there might still be in
existence other copies OF the picture
or a negative.-Karl Moon in Leslie's.

Another will be the anti-shipping

that liquor shall not, be shipped into
anti-saloon territory, and will be sim
liar, inasmuch as it prevents the ship
ping of liquor from wet county to
dry counties.
The resident district bill, lost in

a plan whereby residential districts

man of twenty-five to call on 2 girl OF
nineteen and sit in the dark when her
parents are not at home?
(3) / am a young lady twenty years
old. Have gone with fellow for three
years steady. Don't you think 1t time
for him to ask me to marry, or would
MT you waste any more time on him?
CHUMS.
IN I think it would be pretty
risky. When a girl puts her whole
life. her health and her fortune into
the hands of man, she ought to know
that he is able to take care of them
properly. Better know a little more
about him, my dear, and then get
married at home if it is possible.
(2) 1t is not proper. The girl is
giving everybody cause to say bad
things about her.
(3) Better show him that you can
be popular with some of the other
young men. Perhaps he will tumble"
If he doesn't make up your mind that
he isn't thinking of marrying you It's
never wise to "go steadily" with any
man unless you are engaged to him.
The other boys drop away and finally
when your STEADY" drops you, you
are left out in the cold.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: / am young
lady of twenty and have been going
with a young man of the same age for
three years off and or. We never
quarrel like most of the boys and girls
do. He has red hair. Is this the sign
of temper? He does not show 1t if he
has it. He says he loves me. Do you
think I ought to know by this time If
he does? 1 really think he does?
BROKEN HEARTED GIRL.
The color of the hair has nothing
whatever to do with ones temper.
Some of the sweetest natured people
in the world have red hair
If this young man has been constant
for three years he must like you pretty
we'll. However, he is still pretty
young to trust in the matter of loving.
If he really loves you and can support
wife, he should ask you to marry
him as soon as he is old enough to
marry (when he is twenty-onel. That
is the sure proof

Around the cake, on the taDiecloth'

Dear Mrs Thompson: I am an
noyed with bedbugs. How can / get
rid of them? j. j. V.
I have been told that gasoline
poured generously around beds. mop
boards, etc, will in time kill off the
bugs. This is apt to be dangerous,
however, as striking a match in
room is apt to cause an explosion.
Alum is recommendede by some. One
lady says she immersed everything
she could in alum water and to get rid
of bugs in the walls she put powdered
alum in an insect powder bellows and
blew the powder into every crack and
crevice. She got rid of the bugs.
Another remedy is to dissolve a
small cake of camphor gum in one-half
pint of wood alcohol. Sprinkle this ev
erywhere with a machine oil can. This
is inexpensive and safe and is said to
be very effective.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: % Do you
think it right to meet a fellow in an
other state and marry him, as l have
only seen him twice?
