JOSEPH'S GHOST

Yes, stree, Mr.. Troins, ! sure

Peabody at just passed here, fer
q mean trick he played me oncet.
Have some tobacco, Hiram, and
while we sit here and smoke our
pipes, tell me the story" | replied,
with immediate interest, for when
Hiram told a story it was certain
to be a good one.
Wall, seem as won't hurt no,

might as WELL" he said.
In this way heard the following
story which l will try to give you
as much like the original as posi-
bic, with a few things added which
| gathered from some other hill
folks.
These two old characters had
been friends until Joseph had
charged Hiram many times too
much money for hauling a camping
outfit some two or three miles into
the hills. After that. many petty
incidents had increased the hatred
between the two men until either
one would go a square out of his
way to keep from meeting the
other, or a mile out of his way to
cause some trouble for the other.
1t had been about two years after
the first break when both of the
men had wished to buy the same
piece of property. When each one
found out that the other was try
ing to get It, there was rush to
the owner to close the deal, and
Joseph had come out ahead by
about five seconds, but neverthe-
less, the owner. This was a heart
breaking disaster for Hiram, but
when he found out that he was,
without a doubt, beaten, he lay
awake nights trying to think Of
some plan to get ahold of that
property.
One morning about a week be-

A FINE GARDEN.

Boston, lnd., June 20.
To my readers:
want to tell you about my pleas
ant trip l took Sunday. My
brOther-in-law came over Saturday
night, and Sunday we all motored
to West Manchester. There we
spent the day with Mr.. and Mrs.
Earnest Troutwine.
There we enjoyed a fine dinner,
and in the afternoon we played
games and had lots of music and
then we called on my grandpa and
grandma Overh0lser, and if you
want to see a garden go to my
grandpa's. l myself like to see a
nice garden, but their garden took
my eye.

Hiram chuckled to himself and
said to ne, Il didn't have ter make
that call, fer Josuf moved out first
thing the next day and seemed per-
feCtly willin' fer me to have the
house. But he's wonderin' to this

fore Joseph moved into his house
he might have seen Hiram entering
his house with saw, chains, ham
mer and sheet and pole.
When Joseph was getting ready
for bed, the first night after he had
moved into the house he thought
he heard a noise above him, as II
someone were tip-toeing about.
But he said to himself that it was
most likely rats. and Immediately
forgot it. About two hours after
that he was awakened by a terrible
humping as if heavy box were
falling downstairs. He grabbed the
cover over his head and lay, shak-
ing with fear, all the time telling
himself that something COULD
have fallen and that it could be
nothing alive.
Five minutes elapsed and Joseph
had just about decided to go to
sleep, when he heard a low moan
and then a terrible scream. when
he told the story he said that his
hair stood ON end and that it was
considerably grayer the next day..
Then slow steps were heard on the
stairs, and the door was opened and
he saw a ghost! 1t walked to the
edge of the bed, and said in hollow
tones, Get out Of my housed" 1t
then turned and walked out of the
door and its footsteps were heard
slowly retreating upstairs.
Joseph did not sleep any more
that night, but when daylight came,
his holiness returned. He could
not account for the ghost, but he
said to himself that he never be-
lieved in ghosts and he was not
going to do so now.
The next night Joseph went to
bed prepared to shoot the ghost If
it came again, but when he laid
his head on the pillow, he felt q
piece of paper there. Taking it to
the light he saw that this was
written in blood. IF you are not
out of my house by tomorrow

Dear Aunt Polly:
Where did the game of baseball
come from?-C. c.
Dear c. c.:
The ancestor Of our national
game Gas it is known today is the
old English game Of FOUNDERS"
Soon after the founding of Philadel-
phia, the game or something like
it, was played there, only it was
called "town-ball." This same game
was played in upper Canada as
early IS 1888. But the game as it
was played in those days was so
different from our modern game of
baseball that it can scarcely be
called the same game. The first
time, the game was played much
as ii is today, was in the neighbor-
hood Of New York. 1t was quickly
developed and soon there were reg
ularly organized clubs playing as
early as 1845. in a place named
'Elysian Fields" Ga queer name for
a baseball park, isn't IT'D which
was on the site where Hoboken,
New Jersey, is, today. In 1857, a
baseball convention was held where
uniform rules were made. In the
following May the first National
Baseball Association was organ
ized.--Aunt Polly.
