Monument shone as Ghost.

Use seed dat ghost dar ev'ry night
fob week" declared Henry w.
Locksmith, a local colored man, as
he stood with chattering teeth on
North Hanover street, with his eyes
riyeted on a white object in Potts
town cemetery. Henry was frightened
sure, and Robert G. Hawk, we'll
known printer, to whom he had told
his story, saw. too, the ghostly figure.
Hawk, however, ridiculed the idea
of such things, and the colored man
became angry, but finally agreed to
accompany him into the cemetery.
The ghost" never moved, and this
caused Locksmith to tote along very
slowly behind. Hawk braced him up,
with words Of encouragement, and
when they came close to the thing In
white" they found that it was highly
polished granite monument upon
which the reflection from a distant
arc electric light had played and
made it seem pure white.-Pottstown

BIG LOSSES ARE INFLICTED.
Germans Pour Terrific Fire Into Al

Germans Pour Terrific Fire Into At
tackers at ST. Georges.
London, Dec. 31-Defnite and i'm
portant successes were recorded by
the allies in their advance from Nieu-
port and in heir attack on Muelhau-
sen-the two extremes Of the battle
front-in official statements issued on
Tuesday by the French war Office.
While the Franco-Belgian troops
we're occupying st. Georges, in the en-
virons of which there has been most
bitter fighting, and establishing them
selves firmly in that position two
miles east Of Newport, the French
forces commanded by General Pau, OPP
Grating in Upper Alsace, were invest
ing Steinbach, In the Vosges, north Of
the line between Cernay and Thanh.
The most prolonged and desperate
OF these forest battle was fought in
the vicinity of the burned wood west
of Apremont. Here the French re-
took the line Of trenches the Germans
occupied a few days ago.
But the recapture Of the coveted
position cost the French dearly. Heavy
cannonades preceded each attack. AS
the salvos ended the infantry rushed
across the lead-swept field to the best
cover at hand. Many dead and wound
ed we're left in their wake, but the sur
vivors pressed on, until finally they
were able to dig themselves in, at
some places within thirty years of the
German trenches. By firing of gren-
AIDES and sharp musketry attacks the
Germans were compelled to retire.

Poor Chinese Business Rule.

1t is an established custom IN
China that new company must pay
dividends to it's shareholders from the
first year of its existence, and this
forms invariably a clause of the
articles of association. Some con-
Germs which fail to realize a profit
have to contract a high interest loan
in order to pay dividends in full. 1t
Is this practice that compels com
panies to contract loan after loan I'M
til they are plunged into a helpless
state. Furthermore when new
company Is established, it is from the
start tied down to system Of COM
mission paying. In every purchase
as well as In every sale of the com
pany a commission goes with it. which
is therefore counted into every pay
ment and receipt, thus occasioning the
need Of an unnecessarily large amount
of capital.

Franz Joseph's Forces Routed in
Carpathians.
MANY PRISONERS ARE TAKEN
Russians Said to Be Holding Germans
In Check Along the Lower Wis
tuia and the Pilica-Losses
Are Heavy.

Berlin, Dec. 31.-The following COM
ment on the military situation was
issued on Tuesday by the official press
bureau:
In view of the fact that previous
reports from headquarters that oper-
alton were proceeding favorably gen.
orally have been followed eventu-
ally by reports of victories, one is
justified in considering the situation
in the East as promising a successful
outcome for the Germans.
This view, however, is undoubtedly
too optimistic and the fact must be
faced that the Russians extreme left
wing is proving itself superior to its
opponents for the present.
The Russians action in trengthen-
ing their forces there undoubtedly is
due to their realization Of what the
encfrcling of their flank in Galicia
would signify"
London, Dec 31.-The main Aus
trian army, under General Boehm-
Ermolli, which was prevented from
joining the western Austrian army by
the Russians on Christmas day, ap-
parently is nearing dissolution.
Vienna officially admits that the
Austrians are avoiding the Russian
attacks" and that the attacks in the
Carpathian passes are very severe.
Petrograd reports that the retreat
ing Austrians, estimated to number
175,000, are struggling in disorderiy
fashion through the Carpathians, with
the retreat becoming more and more
disorderly. That the Austrians are
offering little rear-guard resistance is
indicated by Russian claims that they
have made 200 officers and $4,000 sol
diers prisoners in the last nine days.
Russian military circles point out
that all the important passages OF the
Carpathians are again in Russian
hands, and that those still held by the
Austrians afford them no advantage.
A Petrograd news agency dispatch
says: 1.-THE Russians are now hold
ing the Germans in check along the
lower Vistula and the Pilfca. The
German armies were shattered by their
futile attacks against the Russian
stone wall The Germans have lost
many thousands in killed and wounded
during the recent fighting"

From the time of his youth in the

horrible visitation and curse in India.
Never could he be a favored son of
Allah.
When he had a chance he came to
America, but his friends took his com
partnership without grace, and when
an affair of chance was undertaken
by them recently, and they lost, they
cursed Clan Singh roundly, and, by
the custom of their race, spat upon
him
So great was Clan Singh's distress
that he came to the receiving hos

curse he bore The surgeons re-
marked easily"
The other day Clan Singh and his
friend, Omar came to the hospital A
moment for anesthesia, the quick
and tense activity of the surgeons, and
Clan Singh was being wheeled back
to his bed in the ward. AS he was
trundled along. he awakened for an
instant. Instantly he held his hands
high, SO he could look upon them.
Thee was the thumb, one thumb on
his right hand. His left was the
same. With a sigh, he renewed his
dreams in anesthesia, only to NUT
