meeting, according to the account.
They shook hands, and grinned, and
uttered platitudes. Such visits, how
ever. do not need conversational en-
be2ishments.
Long, long after the late John l..
Sullivan had left the ring, and when
he was living quietly in small Mas
sachusetts town, he was known to the
upgrowing youngsters of the neigh
borhood not as the great mauler, but
as the old gentleman who told con-
stant circle of small listeners of the
famous scenes he had visited and of
the noble and otherwise notable per-
sonages whom he had met and pat
ronized. That story, widely published
shortly before Sullivan's death, made
him better liked than any f1stic crown
he had ever worn.
Whatever the faults a man has, If
he keeps his heart young and enjoys
the company of little people, he is
laying up happiness for himself as
we'll as for others. Not only is Johnny
Sylvester the better for Ruth's sick
room call, but so is the Babe.

staircase, and his ghost is supposed
to haunt that room to this day."
Some people seek old houses well
equipped with ghosts, and some want
new houses without murder associa-
tions and too many ghosts. Each to
his taste. That this antiquary means
to live with this Tudor ghost-and the
hosts of the victims may also be
haunting there-shows that he is not
nervous about ghosts. 1t is phase
of our time that a ghost is not as
dreadful as once it was. A ghost may
be a good real estate argument, but
as a hair-raiser it has declined in au-
thority.
Once there were many haunted
houses in the neighborhood of Wash
ington. Some of those houses burned
because of lightning, defective chin
neys or upset coal oil lamps, and such
accidents must have caused suffering
to numerous ghosts. When these
houses were rebuilt they were either
freed of the "hants" or were still
haunted. Opinion differs on that
point. The weight of argument seems
to be that haunted house is never
cured. 1t is clear, though, that we
still have haunted houses in the ad-
Joining State and the trans-Potomac
State and, that Americans buy these
houses and seem to get on well with
the ghosts that haunt them. So far
as the accounts go, most of our ma
tive ghosts are good-natured and go
no further in causing distress of new
tenants than by walking up the
creaky stairs at midnight or standing
in dark corners of the hall. Some
times they ring bells and rattle chains
and dishes, but, on the whole, all is
we'll.
