We never took much stock in
ghost stories and spirit rappings and
that sort of thing in our house till
about three weeks ago Then we
began to wonder if maybe we had
been wrong in our skepticism. The
first scare we had was early one
morning, just about sunrise, when
one of the children came in and said

irritated to think anybody would
disturb us at such an hour, and won

instead of ringing the door bell
which was in plain sight. There
was nobody there, but the child who
had made the report was positive
he hadn't been dreaming, so 1 walked
all around the house and looked up
and down the street Nobody was in
sight but the miiG man, and he al

makes no sound save the clinking OF
milk bottles.
l tried to argue the child out Of
his obsession, but it was no use, He
said he had distinctly heard rap
pings, repeated at intervals. He
wasn't sure, on cross examination
that they We're at the front door,
but he was sure he heard them. /

falling into that delicious slumber
that comes only in the early morning
when you know you ought to be
getting UP and getting ready to go
to work, thought l heard rappings
myself.
They came from quite another part
of the house, but they seemed sharp
and distinct. 1 sat up and listened,
but I didn't hear them any more, so
1 went back to sleep again, figuring
that I had probably dreamed about
them, after having my mind filled
with the idea by my investigation.
The next morning the same thing
happened, and this time heard the
rappings myself. They were of the
staccatto variety, like the sounds
that the little hammers make on
xylophone, but tney seemed to be

ADMINISTRATION" FORCES
STILL HOLD CONTROL

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, June l.
Results of the International Typo
graphical Union election were awaited
with interest in Colorado Springs, the
site of the union printers home, erect
ed and made by the Typographical
union. With the reelection of John
w. Hays as secretary treasurer, Seth
r. Grown as first vice-president and
George P. Nichols as trustee of the
home, control of the eecutive council
and the board of trustees of the home
still remains with the "administra-
tion" faction, printers here pointed
out tonight.
Frank H. Cook of Colorado Springs,
elected trustee of the home, is an
employee of the Evening Telegraph
composing room. He was president of
the local union for one year, being
overwhelmingly defeated last jan
uary.
The 1925 convention of the Interna-
tional Typographical Union will be
held in Colorado Springs the second
week in September.
