good grace. And that, as they had
planned, proved the undoing of the
party with butter in his hat.
Few minutes had passed when the
negro began 10 move ms chalr away
from the hot stove. When he had
made his third move his face had
taken on a narhetically uneasy look
AT last he arose TO go, but the crowd

SPOoKS co ON STRIKE
AFTER A 3.DAY REVEl
Quit Throwing Household furnishings
and Pulling Hairpins From
Woman's Head.

Newark, y. j Mr.. and Mrs. STAINS.
laus Lysaj are getting weary OF being
haunted After a ihree-day reyel in.
visible presences throwing household
furnishings at Mr.. and Mrs, Stanis-
laus have taken day off and the
Lysajs are devoutedly hoping that
they have gone away 10 spend the
week in the country and they never
will come back.
Mrs. Lysajs sister died two months
ago and on her deathbed she swore
she would get even for a quarrel
they had had. according TO the story
told by the couple.
The widest yarns ever spun in an
old sailors home are outdone by the
tales now circulating in the vicinity
Of the haunted house" Monday night,
the narrative runs, flock OF myster-
i0us footsteps ran all around The
Lysajs' four.room apartment, and the
footsteps had no feet attached 10
them.
On Tuesday the invisible visitors
descended to low, slapstick comedy,
and loose ornaments around the
place jumped off mantels and tables
and hit Mrs. Lysaj while her back
was turned. A Aaliron crawled of the
back of the stove and knocked Mrs.
Iysai down, she lestifes, without
leavinr mark Of any kind.
Mrs. Lysaj, so the story goes, called
in priest. who is reported to have
seen pictures fan off the mantelpiece
and all the harpins merrily Jump out
of Mrs. Lyssj's Psyche knot.
Wednesday Mrs. Lysai also called
in some of the neighbors. who were
treated. they assert. to a regular 81
mon pure spiritual seance, in which
the hairpin trick was repeated.
The Lysais then summoned two
priests 10 view the proceedings. II is
stated that the pictures aided and
abetted by powder box. again per-
formed their act of lifting around the
place. The priests are said to have
brought in half dozen more members
of the cloth then, at which the boeies
became bashful and refused 10 dis.
port themselves.
All was quiet Thursday also, much
to the delight OF the Lysajs and 10 the
vast disappointment OF crowds that
have been blockading the house.
Stanilaus and Mrs. Slanislaus are
brasely holding the fort They intend
to keep right on living in the haunted
house" they say. and ii is limited that
they don't even intend to ask The land
lord to lower the rent.

French Boy Knows How to

BY ELIZABETH coNNElL.

Jean is little French soldier. M
he is not Il Poilu. nor is he fighting In
the trenches, but he Is Il soldier just
the same. for he is helping France to
win the war. lie is twelve years old
and he belongs 10 the great army Of
school children who are brayely doing
their bit to aid France.
Jeans father died fighting for his
country. and his mother has 10 wori;
by the day-scrubblng cleaning. wash
lns-d0ing whatever she can To make
Il little money. Hut il is very hard to
get work in France, 50 some days
Jeans mother finds nothing 70 do al
all. and a good days work brings in
only fifty cents. This is very discour-
aging.
But lean isn't discouraged. He is
man for all of his twelve years, and he
taking care of the little family. Every
morning. long before daylight. he is M
and stirring. NJ. Bouanger. the baker
very kindly allows Jean TO help him for
three hours each day--and pays him
! the princely wage of one dollar n week.
I So from five 10 eight every morning
he may be seen scurrying about the
/ shop. doing whatever NJ. Roulanger re-
quircS. Then he goes to school.
At the end Of the week comes pay
day and Jean is given his five francs,
What do you suppose he does with the
money? Does he spend ii for candy or
toys or movies, or for any of the things
dear to Il boys heart? No indie ID, he
takes those bravely won francs to his
mother who gives him as his share
exactly ten cents. That is his 70 do
With just exactly Is he pleascs. What
does he buy? Would yoti believe me if
| told you he doesn't buy thing, but
each week puts his money away until
he has saved enough to subscribe TO
the National loan? And he doesn't
consider himself a hero--far from it,
II you were to pat him on the back
and call him "A brave boy, he would
look at you with surprise and say,
why every one must help 70 win this
war. is ii not so?'
said that Jean belonged to the
