DECLARE HOUSE IS HAUNTED
British Lawmakers Positive They
Have Seen ASPIRATIONS In Famous
Parliament Buildings.

Those who do not believe in ghosts
will be surprised to learn that several
members Of parliament have sworn to
the presence of apparitions In the
house of commons.
A prime minister, Earl Grey, de-
clared that he saw deaths head ap-
pear three times in front of him while
delivering his great speech on the in
PRODUCTION of the reform bill and G..
Swift MacNeil also swore that he saw
T. P. O'Connor sitting in his usual
place in the house, while at the time
the gentleman was in Ireland. Many
members, too, have seen the "White
Lady" walking in the corridors Of the
house.
The terrace ghost has often been
said to appear. Another known as the
big Ben" ghost is stated to appear
when a member of the royal family is
about to die. On December Is, 1861,
December 13, 1878, and January 10,
1892, it appeared as an old man row.

ROAD MUCH LIKE CORKSCREW
Railway in India Makes Complete
Double Loop on Its Way to the
Top of Mountain.

One of the most interesting railroad
lines, the construction of which meant
the solution of difficult engineering
problems, is the narrow-gauge railway
which winds it's way up the steep
slopes Of the Darjeeling range of the
Himalayas to Darjeeling.
Darjeeling is a noted health resort
of the British rulers of India and the
summer seat of the Bengal govern
ment. 1t is 7,4OO feet above sea level
It's delightful climate and the magnifi-
cent scenery surrounding it, including
q panorama of the highest peaks Of
the HimaIayas, make it one of the
most desirable places in India during
the hot season. One of the remark
able features of the mountain railway
is the Chimbatti loop, probably the
only example Of it's kind in the world.
The tracks, rising at a steep grade,
make a complete double loop to reach
the station on the mountain top.-Pop-

ARMY OFFICERS BELIEVE
WHISKEY IS SOME GOOD

The Milwaukee Journal of Monday
carried a Washington dispatch say
ing that John Barleycorn has been
called back from the edge of the grave
dug for him by the prohibitionists to
help check the influenza epidemic
which has swept the United States for
the last five or six weeks. 1t is estim-
ated that between 5000 and 5000 gal
Ions have been sent to the various
army camps for medicinal purposes.
One camp near Washington alone got
fiftyseven barrels of whiskey. The
sudden attack of the disease which
has wrought such havoc in training
camps caught the war department
without an adequate supply of spirits,
but within the last two weeks or ten
days there has been a steady flow to
the army hospitals.
There used to be a saying that il
you would cure pneumonia take whis-
key. AS the supply Of liquor has in
creased the number of deaths from
influenza has decreased.
prohibitionists are charging
that the wave of prohibition is part
ly responsible for the spread of in
f1uenza. They point to the urgent calls
for whiskey from the southern states
as proof that the people have made a
mistake in forcing bone-dry laws up
on themselves.

Terse Statement 10 to Value Of Man
In the Worfd's Commercial
Operations.

There Is a moral for all who will
seek it in the story Of Minnesota
banker, who has made a success Of
life Notwithstanding the handicap that
both legs, his left arm and the fingers
of his right hand are missing. His
career was appropriately reviewed in
Carry On, a magazine published in the
interest Of the reconstruction of dis
abled soldiers and sailors.
The essence Of this mans success
is contained in his whimsical state
ment Of his philosophy. "From his
neck down." he says, "a man is worth
about dollar and q half q day; from
his neck up he may be worth hun
dred thousand dollars a year." The
facts Of this statement apply as fore
IDLY to a man with all his limbs as
to cripple. They constitute the
chief reason why vocational education
is increasing in popularity and why
child labor and compulsory education
laws are being made increasingly Sc
we're.
1t is fortunate epigram which has
been made by tbs cripple Of peace
for the benefit Of the cripples Of
war. The part Of the man ''from the
neck up" knows no limitations except
self-imposed onas-Portland Ore

Sound Carried Far.

A camp cook whose only means Of
calling the members of his party was
pounding on pan with knife handle
was unable to make them hear when
they were fishing or hunting at any
considerable distance from the camp.
One of the party to whom he COM
planned thereupon made what he call
ed "klepalo."
The ''klepalo" was merely a piece Of
well-seascned oak plank two inches
thick, six inches wide, and four feet
long. Through the center he bored q
hole, passed a rope through it and sus-
pended the plank from the branch of a
tree. The cook rang" the instrument
by striking it with a mallet, first on
one side and then on the other.
The man who made the "klepalo"
had seen similar contrivances in small
Bulgarian villages, where they are
used instead of church bells to call the
people to worship. A test of the In
strument used by the campers showed
that in ordinary weather conditions it
could be heard two miles.-Manches-

News of the Bows

Mrs. A. Kortegast is in receipt of a
letter from her brother, Paul L.
Schroeder, with Co. B, 314 Am. Train,
in France:
1t is my pleasant duty to verify the
newspaper reports that the Americans
have advanced "a few confines" on
the Germans and at the present writ
ing are still advancing. In fact, am
writing this in a building where two
weeks ago Hans and Fritz were scOOk-
ing their sauerkraut and wieners. In
this same building we also confiscated
a good bath tub and hot water heater
that used to belong to Herr Oberst,
and now we all take turns carrying
water and taking hot baths. Some
style to us!
We also are lucky that we have auto
trucks to ramble around through the
country, because we also discovered
some war gardens the Germans had
planted, and which they could not
take with them and were in too big
hurry to destroy, and for the last
few days we have been living on fresh
vegetables, and plenty of them
Helen asked me if 1 had been in the
trenches yet Well, l am sorry to say
that our organization does not do any
trench fighting. We do just what you
can guess from the name, namely.
haul ammunition from the rear up to
the fighting lines. We are armed with
rifles, but, as our lieutenant says,
they do us about as much good as a
baseball bat. Practically the only dan
ger we are subject to is shell fire, and
it is pretty hard to hit a moving
truck with cannon shot.
One thing l am glad of is that Uncle
Sam takes care OF his men in good
shape. We have what is called a
"commissary'' where we can buy al
most anything we desire, such as to-
bacco, chocolate, etc. So you see we
do not have to suffer any on that ac-
count. In fact, we can buy things
cheaper than you can in the States,
the commissary being run by the
government.
Well, | always start my letters with
the intention Of making them good
and long, but somehow 1 always seem
to run out of material before l get
very far, and this being the case with
this letter, you will excuse me for
cutting it short. Will try to write
soon again.

The officers and members of the
state bowling association will gather
at Green Bay next Sunday to discuss
the holding of a state tournament this
year. Green Bay was to have had this
years meet, but the matter is not de-

has fallen off materially and in the
opinion Of some of the members, the
tournament should be cancelled al
together.
The tournament held in this city

Because public meetings for the
discussion of political questions are
still impossible in this campaign ow-
ing to the fourth Liberty Loan drive
and the influenza situation, Gov.
Emanuel L. Philip has issued an open
letter to the people of Wisconsin
which covers the subjects that he
would touch upon in his campaign
addresses, were it possible to reach
the voters in that way at this time
The letter is a discussion of Ques-
tons arising in the campaign and al
so gives a statement as to the &C.
complishment of the administration,
both as regards the work of Wisconsin
in the war and in the way of legisla-
ton.
Gov. Philip in a preamble to his
occasioned the letter and then dis
cusses the state democratic platform
which he says offers little in the way
of pledges for constructive legisla-
ton and is mainly devoted to personal
abuse of the governor. He asks that
the voters compare it with the repub-
lican platform and the pledges therein
contained.
The governor then alludes to the
political situation in the state. On
this point Gov. Philip says in part:
"The election in November means
more than my personal interest. It
means the success or failure of the
republican party in Wisconsin. Wis
consin is a republican state and there
are strong reasons now why it should
remain republican. We are living in a
critical time and many important
questions must be settled after the
close of the war which will require
the best ability that the country can
produce. The people must decide now
whether they wish the future policies
of the country to be established by
the republicans or turn themselves
over entirely to the democrats who
are now in power

MADE FIGHT FOR FREEDOM
and Originality in Making His
Escape From Prisons.

Three daring escapes made by q
British army deserter with ten convic-
tons against him-all for crimes of
violence-were described at Oldstreet
few days ago, relates London
Chronicle. The man, George Mullins,
was sentenced to six months impris-
onment in January, 1917, and was sent
to Wandsworth. There he was trained
for the army and taken to France in
handouts. In a few weeks he con-
trived to get leave and, returning to
England, deserted. He was arrested
last April, but, although handcuffed,
he escaped from his escort. After a
brief spell Of liberty Mullins was
again captured, and with five others
was put in the guardroom at Wands-
worth prison. While the others danced
and sang at the top Of their voices
Mullins cut a hole In the wall and all
the six escaped. In the following May
the man was again arrested, and
taken this time to Bethnal Green 20
lice station, where he was placed in
a newly built cell. Again he managed
to escape by loosening a number Of
bricks, climbing through a ventilator
and dropping down a water pipe into
the street. The other night Mullins
was arrested by Detective Sharp in
Stepney. A big and violent crowd,
the officer said, gathered and pelted
the detective and his colleagues with
stones, weights, coal, bottles and "any-
thing they could lay their hands on"
The police, however. got away. Null
Inns is now sentenced to two months
hard labor as deserter and for DAM
aging Bethnal Green police station.
