    | A TRUE 0B0ST STOBY,
OT many years ago
people usod to sneer
at ghosts and ghost
stories much more
than they do now,
and one would con
stantly hear people
whisper to one an
other while some
Individual was re
lating his or her
experience: “Ah! it
is very odd that these ghost stories
r should always be related at second or
;t third hand. Now, I want to see a per
son who personally has seen the ghost,
‘ and then I will believe!"
Yes. People are more accustomed to
hearing about ghosts now; and yet,
'i-n even now, should it be a wife, daugh
ter, or slater who ventures to narrate
J3 home supernatural experience, she is
pooh-poohed or laughed at or told to
"take a pill."
Now, I have seen a ghost, and am pre
pared to attest most solemnly to the
fact, as well as to the truth of every
word here set down. 1 have, of course,
avoided names, but nothing else; so,
without further preamble, I will state
||S my case.
Some years ago I became the object
of the infatuated adoration of a person
of my own age and sex.and I use the
word "Infatuated” advisedly, because I
■ feel now, as I did at the time, that
neither I nor any mortal that ever lived
could possibly be worthy of the over
’ whelming affection which my poor
friend lavished upon me. I on my side
was not ungrateful to her, for I loved
her in return very'dearly, but when I
explain that I was a wife and the moth
s', er of young children, and that she was
unmarried, it will easily be understood
that our devotion to each other must of
necessity be rather onesided, and this
fact caused some disquietude between
us at times.
For many yearn my friend bold a poet
at oourt, which ahe resigned aoon after
: ahe began to know me; and although
her royal miatreaa in her gracloue kind
ness assigned two faouaes to her, she
gave them both up to be free to live
; near me in B-; indeed, ahe gave up
relatives, old eerrente and comforts in
order that ahe might come and lie (and
’ die, alaat) in lodgings oyer a shop near
me. But she was not happy. . She
j "gloomed" over the inevitable fact that
' in consequence of the difference in her
' circumstance# aad mine, 1 could not be
with her every day aad all day long.
‘ 1 think ahe waa aaiyrally of an unhap
■ py disposition, bating deeply, passlon
ately and unJuattSably Jealous, and alao
painfully incapable of taking things
hnd people as they were. All this gave
’ me often much annoyance; but we
y, ' were, alt the same, sometimes very
cheerful and happy together, and some
timeo the reverse.
Later on, ahe, poor soul, waa taken
, 111, and during months of fluctuating
^ health I nursed her—sometimes in
hope, sometimes without—and at mo
? meats during her illness she found
strange comfort, in foretelling to me,
after the most "uncanny" fashion,
^ things which she declared would hap
: pen to me after her death. They were
j: mostly trivialities—little episodes con
777 earning people and things over whom
- w* had talked and laughed together,
,, • for She waa gifted with a keen sense of
. the ridiculous.
Among other things, she said tq me
. .* one afternoon:
■> "This basaar for which we are work*
ing (she had been helping me for weeks
;.'ilor a charity basaar, and I can now
r see her dainty little hands as she man
' ipulated the dainty muslin and lace.
Poor, poor L-11 I shall be dead be
fore it takes place; and I shall see you
Y (at your stall, and on one of the days of
the basaar an old lady will come up to
you and any: Have you any of poor Mias
i
m
STANDING CLOSE TO A SCREEN,
t-—*• work r mentioning me. And
you will answer: ‘Tot, koto la cornel1
and you will allow her this which I am
working; and she’ll say, ’Have you
any noror end you shall say, ‘Yea’
again; and she’ll carry it all off and
say ahe buys It for poor Mias L-’s
cake.’ And I shall know and see it all!”
I remember repeating, wonderiag
ly. "What ladyT”
She answered, dreamily, "Oh! I don’t
know—but some old lady! You’ll see!”
And I am bound to say this Is actu
ally what occurred at the baaaar,
months after her death; an old lady
With Whom I was not did
buy all her work, haying asked for it
and carried it away "for her sake!"
An old lady, too, whom I had never
One other curious circumstance
which attended her death was af
ter looking forward with more than
usual pleasure to my coming birthday,
which she said would be a more than
commonly happy anniversary—that wee
the very day on which ahe died!
• I think that one of the sharpest re
grets which I ever experienced la my
life cow sloted la tho tact that I was not
with my degreet Mead at tho moment
_ that da passed away. She had made
••••;•• gm prwnlof that I would be with her
;f.. at the time, and Ood knows I had the
ftttMt Intention of fowling her wish,
. bnten that eery evening, of all others,
. ,*.f» foiled away, and ahe died in my
.-I fTT-Ti*
absence. I bad been sitting by her
bedside all the afternoon, and all that
evening I had held her dear band and
bad kept whispering comforting words
In her ear; but latterly she bad made
no response and was seemingly uncon
scious.
Suddenly a message came from my
house (not a hundred yards it was
away) saying my husband wanted me
at once, as one of my children was ill.
I looked at the nurse, who assured me
there was nothing immediate impend
ing, so, stooping over my poor friend,
I whispered—at the same time press
ing a kiss on her forehead—that half
an hour should see me at her side
again. But she took no notice, and
much against my will I hastily and
noiselessly left the room.
Throwing a shawl over my head, I
hurried across the square, and .as I
passed the church the clock struck 12,
and I suddenly remembered that to-day
was my birthday!
I got back in less than half an hour
and on my return heard, to my ever
lasting sorrow, that I had not been
gone ten minutes before my dear L
became restless and uneasy, then looked
hastily round the room, gave ft. cry,
then there came a rush of blood to her
mouth, and after a few painful strug
gles she sank back, gasped once or
twice and never moved again.
Of course I thought then, and do to
this day, that she was looking round
me room ior me ana mat sne naa ateu
feeling I bad broken my faith with
her. A bitter, never-falling regret!
T have given this light sketch of the
feelings which existed between me and
my poor friend (before narrating the
circumstances of her supernatural visit
to me) just to emphasize the facts of tbe
alluring fascination, the intense affec
tion, which existed between us during
her lifetime, and which, I firmly be
lieve, have lasted beyond her grave.
Quite a year and a half after her
death my poor L , with what mo
tive I know not—unless it may have
been, as I sometimes fondly hope, to
assure me that she understood and
sympathized with my sorrow at having
failed her at the moment of her ex
tremity—appeared to me. She came
once, but never again. It occurred
thus:
I had been suffering all day from
brow ague and had gone early to bed,
but not to sleep. All the evening I had
been kept painfully awake by that same
church clock which I have mentioned
above. "
It seemed to me to strike oftener,
louder and more slowly than any clock
I had ever had the misfortune to come
across. Of course my allmept of the
moment caused the clock’s vagaries to
appear peculiarly painful, and I bore
the annoyanco very restlessly, with my
face turned pettishly to the wall, but
when the midnight hour began to
chime I felt as though I could bear it
no longer. Muttering an impatient ex
clamation, I turned !h my bed so as to
face the room, and looking across it I
saw my poor I>-standing close to a
screen between me and the door, look
ing at me.
She was in her usual dress, wearing
jtt' was then called a “cross-over,”
which was tied behind,, while her bon
net, which she was always in the habit
Of taking off as she came upstairs, was,
as usual, hanging by the ribbon on her
arm. She had a smile on her face, and
I distinctly noticed her lovely little
white ears, which were always my ad
miration and which were only half cov
ered by her soft brown hair.
She stood—a minute it seemed—look
ing at me, then she glided toward me,
and I; half apprehensive that she was
about to throw herself on my bed, ex
claimed, jumping up in a sitting pos
ture:
“Dearest! what brings you here so
late?”
With deep reverence be it spoken;
but as soon as these words were out of
my mouth I was irresistibly reminded
of those spoken, holy writ tells us, by
St. Peter at the awful moment of the
transfiguration! Awed and dazed at
the sight of the spiritual visitants, we
are told he uttered words “not knowing
what he said.” These words of mine
also seemed to leap to iny lips, with
but little meaning in them, if any.
As soon, however, as my voice had
ceased the apparition disappeared and
I remained Borne moments motionless.
I was not frightened, but I felt colder
than I had felt in my life, and I have
never felt so cold since, but the moist
ure seemed to pour off my body. I call
ed no one to my assistance. All I real
ised was that Ood had permitted me
to see her once more, and that perhaps
he might send her to me again. But he
has not done so, and probably now he
uv » ot ntiii
I lay awake all the night afterward,
hoping tor—and, I think, almost ex
pecting—her again, and after the day
had dawned I fell asleep.
Before telling my story to anyone and
dreading unspeakably all the doubting
and sarcastic speeches which such a
narrative would Inevitably call forth I
sent for my doctor, an old and trusted
friend, and after making him talk
rationally to me for some time I asked
him whether I had ever betrayed any
hysterical tendencies. He reassured me
heartily on this point and then
asked my reasons for such a question.
I therefore opened my heart to him
and he neither ridiculed nor disbe
lieved, but, on the contrary, told me
another case of the same kind which
had lately happened to a friend of his,
hut he strongly advised me to keep my
own counsel at present, which I did for
some time, and kindly added that he
not only did not look upon me as a
lunatic, but simply as a woman tor
whom one corner of the curtain which
guarded the unseen had been lifted.
In conclusion, I repeat I am ready to
vouch for the truth of every word here
set down and also, should it be re
quired, to give names—In private—to
satisfy those who doubt.
* A WONDERFUL DOG.
Tmbcmm Canine Which Imitate* the
Cries of Numerous Animals. £ J .
While on a trip through Moore coun
ty of this state recently 1 was the guest
of the Rev. Frank M. Downing, whn
lives in the neighborhood of a small
settlement called County Line, says the
St. Louis Globe-Democrat. His family
consists of himself and wife and a small
yellow dog, which I noticed received an
unusual amount of care and attention.
As there was nothing particularly at
tractive about the dog, which was only
a mongrel cur, 1 rather wondered at
their manifest affection, and one day
inquired the reason of it. Mr. Downing,
for answer, called "Bench” and placing
him in a chair, commanded him to
"crow.” My astonishment was unbound
ed when the dog gave a perfect imita
tion of a Shanghai rooster, and without
further command, followed it with the
neigh of a horse, lowing of cows, grunts
and squeals of pigs, meouwlng of cats
and various noises incident to farm life.
He could give all the yelps of a pack
of hounds in pursuit of a fox and in s6
realistic a manner that you could
scarcely help believing that a hunt was
in progress. Mr. Downing said nobody
had taught the animal and his peculiar
imitative powers were discovered by
accident. The summer previous, when,
Bench was a mere puppy, the Rev. John
Malcolm, the preacher for their circuit,
was ill at Downing’s house and was
made extremely nervous at night by, a
rooster crowing at all hours beneath
his window. The people who were at
tending could not discover the rooster,
but one morning Mrs. Downing, in pass
ing the window, was startled by seeing
the puppy throw back his head and
crow. She hastened to relate the cir
cumstance to her husband, who was in
credulous and carefully watched the
dog. He quickly corroborated his wife’s
story and for some time the neighbors
flocked to see the wonderful dog. He
quickly learned to crow at command,
and each day picked up some new
softnd. Last November a neighbor of,
Mr. Downing’s carried Bench to Nash
ville. while the circus was there and
the manager offered a handsome price
for him, saying that he was convinced
Bench could be taught to talk, but Mr.
Downing refused to give him up.
In appearance Bench is not prepos
sessing, his color being a dirty yellow,
his hair coarse and wiry, his legs short
and his body rather unwieldy. In his
eyes, however, there gleams an intelli
gence almost human.
Buildings for Cold Storage.
A gentleman addressed the Western
New York Horticultural society in the
interest of the construction ot cold
storage roomB for a neighborhood. This
system,he thought would make the sup
ply for the market throughout the year
more equal to its demands. This co
operative principle may be worked as
successfully in this section as in dairy
ing. Speaking from personal experi
ence, he said:
“I have a building that I built for
the storage of nursery stock and in
which I have had apples stored all win
ter. It is frost proof, built on heavy
stone wall 24 inches thick, and 3 feet
high. On thlB wall were Bet up 2x4
scantling; these were sheathed with
inch hemlock, then covered with tarred
building paper, then furred out with
strips four inches deep and again cov
ered as before, until the wall has three
air spaces; the roof is constructed in
the same way to protect against frost;
light and ventilation come from .two
rows ot windows at the top; the roof is
gravel; the outside is covered with
novelty siding; the building has double
or two sets ot doors at each end, and a
driveway through the center; it is
painted inside and out; it is 100 feet
long by 40 feet wide; the whple cost
was $1,400 and it would afford storage
for 10,000 barrels; the atmosphere is
the same inside as out only that the
building is frost proof and can be run
in the winter months with a variation
of not over 12 degrees; there is no smell
ot a cellar whatever and stock always
keeps perfectly.
“Such a house, or a better one in a
neighborhood would pay four years out
ot five at least 50 cents a barrel over
all costs ot labor for handling, sorting,
Insurance, etc.”
Another member said he had a plan
for a house for his private convenience.
He was about to build a frame 60x30,
with a wall ot about IS inches. Shall
stud up on the side and have a two
story building, but use a gambrel.roof
for the second story. Shall board with
rough hemlock or studding, paper that
and furr it up. This will give three air
chambers and four thicknesses. Double
windows and close-fitting shutters with
an air space (double shutters). He will
leave small holes from the wall under
the sills on either side and put in ce
ment for the lower floor. He will have
the air chambers below the sill in case
he wants to scrub the floor or leave
them open at night and close up quick.
He will have holes through the upper
floors for the circulation of air, and two
ventilators through the top. With
proper circulation such a house will be
frost proof in winter and cool in sum
mer.—Ex.

AS TO APPARITIONS.
Hark Twain Hsa an Experience In
Thought Transference.
A great many people are being con
| verted to the claims of mental tel
egraphy. Mark Twain gives a number
of curious experiences in Harper’s Mag
azine which indicate telepathy. Among
them is the following: “Several years
ago I made a campaign on the platform
with Mr. George W. Cable. In Mon
treal we were honored with a reception.
It began at 2 in the afternoon in a
long drawing room in the Windsor ho
tel. Mr. Cable and I stood at one end
of the room and the ladles and gentle
men entered it at the other end, crossed
it at that end, then came up the long
left-hand side, shook hands with us,
said a word or two, and pas Bed on, in
the usual way. My sight is of the tele
scopic sort, and I presently recognized
a familiar face among the throng of
strangers drifting in at the distant
door, and I said to myself, with sur
prise and high gratification: 'That is
Mrs. R,; I had forgotten that she was a
Canadian.’ She had been a great friend
of mine in Carson City, Nev„ in the
early days. I had not seen her or
heard of lier for twenty years; I had
not been thinking about her; there was
nothing to suggest her to me, nothing
to bring her to my mind; in fact, to
me she had long ago ceased to exist,
and had disappeared from my con
sciousnesa. put I knew her instantly,
and I saw, her so clearly that I was
able to note some of the particulars of
her dress, and did note them, and they
remained in' my mind. I was impa
tient for her to come. In the midst of
the hand-shaking I snatched glimpses
of her and noted her progress with the
slow-moving file across the end of the
room, then I saw her start up the side,
and this gave me a full front view of
her face. I saw her last when she was
within twenty-five feet of me. For an
hour I kept thinking she must still be
in the room somewhere and would come
at last, but I was disappointed.
“When I arrived in the lecture hail
that evening some one said: ‘Come
into the waiting room; there’s a friend
of yours there who wants to Bee you.
You’ll not be introduced—you are to do
the recognizing without help if you
"I said to myself: ‘It Is Mrs. R.; I
shan’t have any trouble.*
"There were perhaps ten ladies pres
ent, all seated. In the midst of them
was Mrs. R., as I had expected. She
was dressed exactly as she was when
I had seen her in the afternoon. I went
forward and shook hands with her and
called her by name and said:
“ ‘I knew you the moment you ap
peared at the reception this afternoon.’
"She looked surprised and said: ‘But
I was not at the reception. I have just
arrived from Quebec, and have not
been in town an hour.’
“It was my turn to be surprised now.
I said: ‘I can’t help it. I give yo-' my
word of honor that it is as I say. I
saw you at the reception, and you were
dressed precisely as you are now. .
When they told me a moment ago that
I should find a friend in this room your
image rose before me, dress and all,
just as I had seen you at the reception.’
"Those are the facts. She was not
at the reception at all, or anywhere
near it; but I saw her there neverthe
less, and most clearly and unmistak
ably. To that I could make oath. How
is one to explain this? I was not
thinking of her at the time; had not
thought of her for years. But she had
been thinking of me, no doubt. Did
her thought flit through leagues of air
to me and bring with it that clear and
pleasant vision of herself? I think so.
That was and remains my sole expert- :
ence in the matter of apparitions—I
mean apparitions that come when one
is (ostensibly) awake. I could have
been asleep for a moment; the ap
parition coaid have been the creature
of a dream. Still that is nothing to
the point. The feature of interest is
the happening of the thing just at that
time, instead of an earlier or later
time, which is argument that its ori
gin lay in thought-transference.”
