ONE GHOST BROUGHT APPLES Liked All His Spooky Visitors Except One Treat Them Kindly, Is His Advice One Ghost Wore Patched Garments. Washington. Antlgonlsh nnd its ethereal visitor, which apparently lias gone on u ntrilTc since the arrival of scientists and curiosity seekers, is backed into Insignificance when com pared to the bodyless visitors who sometimes pick out Washington us a ghostly rendezvous. At leust so says William II. Bryson, 1002 M street, N. W., nmatcur ghost chaser of the District, who allows that since ho llrst started studying the habits and mannerisms of spooks, flvo years ago, lie has been visited by 20 assorted ghosts, all of whom turned out with one exception to be ilrst rate chaps. Bryson, who until recently was em ployed In the government service in n 8eml-sclcntlflc capacity, had come out with tho blanket statement that ghosts do linvo bodily characteristics nnd, contrary to popular belief, tho hand clasp of n spook Is warm nnd not cold and clammy. Whllu the hunter after tho habitat of tho dweller in tho world beyond has made no effort to photograph his nocturnal visitors, ho says he has held protracted conversations with mnny of his friends and relatives who have passed on. One Ghost Carried Apples. It might be said that llryson goes further in his rescarcli in the fact that ho avers that one of the ghosts who NO MONKEY BUSINESS ifrwfa''1'' "Now, cut out the 'monkey business' and let's get weighed," says Keeper Parker of the Lincoln pnrk zoo, Chi cago. This Is a common occurrence at the zoo, for Mr. Parker keeps his "children" In the pink of condition. This one Is tho prime favorite of the young visitors to the zoo. Relic of California Gold Rush Imperiled Coloma, Cal. Tho historic Weimar oak here Is In peril. Be cause It endangers his farm 'home, Homer Metcnlf may cut down the oak. It was under this tree that Mr. and Mrs. Po ter Wclmnr constructed their homo when they camo to Colomn with James W. Marshall, tho "dis coverer of gold, in 1848, and part of the historic old homo still stands on tho spot. It was in this house thnt Mrs. Weltnnr boiled the nuggets In soap suds and discovered their precious ness, nnd it was this dlscovory that sent tho news round the world which brought tho gold rush to California. pnld him a visit about threo months ago woro silk gloves, or what appeared to bo silk and felt like that material, und wus carrying a few red apples. Asked If ho had held any protrncted conversation with bis ghostly friend Bryson admitted ho had and went so far as to say ho nto a shady npple. Tho fruit hod no nnvor, ho said, but Bryson declares that n coro was loft nnd can produce It if occasion do mands. On ono occasion, Bryson said, his brother visited him nnd comnlnlneil bitterly about conditions on thoT"mn nf I-hicoln being the last owner, Florida sencoast where a Belf-respect-Ing ghost of tho past deendo could not enjoy himself. Whether it was tho beach nymphs or tho conditions regarding tho Influx of foreign spirits from Scotland tho ghost did not say, but he nevertheless said ho would seek sonio other clime during tho win ter or 1U23. Tlio wandering ones nlso aro sub ject to down-and-out periods in "shndowland," Bryson states, as ono friend who was rather opulent hero camo wandering Into his room with ghostly garments thnt had been patched In several places. Don't Like Cold Reception. In this connection tlio saying that "you can't take It with you" mny bo erroneous, as tho spook gavo every ovldcncc, according to tho spectator, of being In need of n few shades of greenbacks to buy n new set of gar ments. Sonio of tho shades that return nnd haunt tho scenes of their life aro not Inclined to bo kindly disposed, espe cially If ono turns tho covers over tlio head and keeps mum until tho ghost loses heart nt the colli reception nnd blows on? to sonio moro hospitable place. Another ghost that Bryson know In, tho flesh, according to tho medium, ap peared to him on one occasion and bit terly berated him for having lost u few dollars of ids whlio on earth In a business denl. "In the future you will see mo often," tho spook Is said to have announced In tho languago of tho beyond, nnd to provo It ho enmo for bIx nights running. Asked if ho ever becamo nervous at tho nocturnal visitations, Bryson hastened to remark that ho did not in vito tho bodyless ones to visit him, but did not put up signs that no spook tralllc would bo nllowed. Ho qualified ills last statement by saying that n prohibitive sign would only go to rllo tho departed ones nnd ho would no doubt have Ills homo clut tered lip with a bevy of ghosts ench light who might berato him for his unklndncss.
