too, if tho ikijkts took it tip in tho right

any tli'ng right, tho reporters oh, I can't
tell you how they twist things.
"How many instructors do you em

"Oh, wo havo tho loveliest teachers.
ITi go and ask Miss JJ to cotuo and
tell you about them. Sljo knows them
personally all tho little family history,
you know. I5ut of tourao wo don't want
you to publish that. Puier3 aro just

reporters don't caro what they say if
tuey just get their pay. Excuse me, I'll
go and sK?ak to Miss Smith," ami she
rustled away. The reporter waited while
they counseled together, and approach

that dress. You know I advised her to
put those revrs on so much more be
coming than a plain waist. Oh, there's
that dreadful reporter. I'm tired to
death telling him about these things.
You tell him aUmt tho teachers, won't
you. dear, ami put those- violets up a lit

"I? Why, 1 da't know anything about
it, and I'm t o busy; I'm ou tho flower

"Well. v,v mUht as well let it go. I've
told him all nUx.il it, but he'll get it ell

An Alabama Ghost.
A ghost has "caused a divorce suit and
broken up a once happy family in Blount
county, Alabama. About live years ago
James Uartin married a iliss Noel, one
of the belles of tho county. Tho young
couple went to live at the old Martin
borne and all went well until about a
year ago. Mrs. Martin, naturally very
timid, heard a ghost rambling through
the old house one night and was badly
frightened. She told her husband about
it, but ho could hear nothing, ho said.
From that time it became a nightly
visitor at the Martin home. Mrs. Martin
wanted to leave the old house at once,
but her husband objected, declaring the
strange noises heard were made by rats.
Several, times Mrs. Martu so 6he 6ays,
saw a iviiuo robed figure wandering
through the old house, -and soon her
nerves and health began to give way
under tho strain. She was finally pros
trated by hr fear of her ghost, and went
to tho home of her parents to recover
her health clro;igth. Fear of the
ghost overcame love of husband, and
Mrs. Martin refused to live with him
again. Martin tried in vain to induce
bis wife tfS return to tho haunted house
to4ive, Ldt she refused, and he filed a suit
for divoirce o:i the ground of abandon-ment.T-Cliicago
