Ghosts to Order, for Cash
Negro Scrvitor Nurscd a Good
Source of Income

Standing on the banks Of the Del
river, mot far from Philadel-
phia, is an ancient mansion. which
until a few years ago was occupied as
a club. at which gentlemen of old
families from the surrounding cOun-
tryside used to foregather Of an even
ing for s%ociability and entertainment.
In it's palmy days the mansion had
been the home Of several socially
prominent families, including that or
a bishop. 1t had remained vacant
for many years before the club &C
quired it. and this had given rise to
wild stories that the old mansion was
haunted by the ghosts Of its former
inhabitants. who were popularity sup
posed to wander. spiritlike, at certain
hours of the night about it's halls and
rooms.
If the mansion had ever been
haunted it's ghosts must have taken
flight at the first appearance Of the
merrymaking clubman, for no one
had ever encountered them, except
a big negro known only as George,
who was the clubs steward. They
realized, however, hat they were re-
sponsible for the negro's credulity
for early in his employment they had
taken keen delight in filling his head
full of popular ghost stories. They
| had enjoyed seeing the startled look
that would come into his moon face
, when some particularly thrilling tale
was unfolded.
It was not long before George wal
telling them Of his own experiences
with the spirits. These adventures o.
his somehow always happened afte'

could be believed, he had met the
bishops and other ghosts at different
periods between midnight and dawn
as they strutted majestically through
the vacant corridors, Indeed. he in
timated that he had strucs up quite
a friendship with the bishops ghost,
which dropped in at the club library
quite frequently.
George told such whopping stories
and made such a hit with everybody
that whenever visitors came to the
club he was trotted out n made
to repeat them for their amusement.
On such occasions the club members
showed their appreciation by crossing
his palm literally with silver, and as
his reputation as an entertainer grew
and expanded the tips he received in
creased proportionately.
One evening a distinguished Phila-
delphia physician was a guest at the
club. When the log fire was blazing
comfortably. and a soft light diffused
through the room. George was
brought forward to tell his amusing
ghost stories. The physician listened
to them colby. Instead of a smile,
his features displayed an anxious and
worried look. George was quick to
realize his failure, and retired in some
confusion to the pantry. After his
departure the physician upbraided
the clubmen for their lack of consid-
Grafton for the negro. He pointed
out hat negroes were by nature SUI
perstitious and easily excited, and that
if the practice of filling Georges head
with such stuff was continued it
might eventually affect his sanity.
Later in the evening the physician
slipped unnoticed into the stewards
pantry, where George was a~ssiduously
washing dishes. He wanted to set the
poor fellow right about ghosts, m he
