Miners See Ghost:
Won't Work Nights

Billings, Mont, Aug. 31.--The Muir
ray oil-drilling rig at Lake Basin has
been shut down at night because the
drillers say they saw tie ghost of
Bill Culbertson on four successive
nights. Culbertson was killed in
fall from the derrick two months ago,
and his mates now assert that they
have seen his specter each night,
standing on the identical spot on the
derrick from which he fell to his
death. The first night or two the
drillers did not pay serious attention
to the apparition, they say, but when
it appeared on four nights, the last
time while the crew were singing to
keep up their spirits, they quit.
The story is told that shortly after
the drilling started, one of the MUIR
rays consulted clairvoyant to find
out how the well would pan out and
was warned that man would be kill
ed. He is said to have passed the
warning on to his men and advised
them to be very cautious. Culbertson
was killed short time after MUIR
rays return.

Editorial Review
THE PERSISTENCE OF
PURITANISM

The Nation has experienced a
refreshing reflection OF Puritan
ism in the Inauguration OF Calvin
Coolidge as its President. Under
the circumstances the occasion
could hardly have been other than
quiet and sober, although In this
instance the step from the quiet
home in the mountains OF Vermont
t. the White House was made by a
simple oath OF office quietly adj
ministered while hand was laid
upon the Bible. Any humble no.
tary public anywhere might have
administered the oath, but In true
Puritan spirit the aged father
shared the honor coming to his
son.
A few inaugurals have been
marked by sense OF triumph and
victory fashioned in the flames Of
u hot political campaign. Others.
like the second inauguration Of
President Lincoln, have been men,
orable because of the words Of
solemn wisdom then spoken. The
inauguration of President Coolidge
was not only solemn in the hush
"i sorrow, but dignified and sin
tere in the spirit of Puritanism.
At times it seems as IL Puritan
ism and the things for which it
stood were entirely dead in this
Country, but in great and critical
moments its spirit lomes to the
surface and connects the living
present with the stored and crea-
tive past Its chaste simplicity
honors those who rekindle it

Kaufman of Williston, who has been

The Wolf Point, Mont, Herald,
commenting upon his recent visit to
Wolf Point, where he marketed sew

at his little factory in his bachelor
home, says:
"Mr. Kaufman is practically indie
pendent of assistance. He travels
alone either on foot or train and
makes his way about in strange
towns with surprising facility. He
is student of no small accomplish
ments. By securing books from Ii
braries maintained for the blind he
keeps in touch with many of the
leading topics of the day, political,
religious and scientific. He has
clear and concise memory of what he
| reads. He writes either on the type

point system, designed Tor the blind.
"The fortitude of people handicap

| to shame beggars and Migrants, in
possession of their facilities, who be-
come parasites on good natured, SYM

"A spirit of optimism prevades his

spirited opinions on the political and
economic questions of the day would
not suspect that he could not see. He
