was up to mo to get clown to cases
'n' go back to voik or move on down
to i bo pnorliom-,e.
Nnteherly my Hint trip after tins

It's mighty peculiar, mighty po

I wasn't the only man who had
seui Hie light at Hint, for it noon boi
passed iiroun' up in the stovo commit
too n' elesowhere at nieetin's of the
railroad men, 'n' other boya allowed
that they'd seen the same thlnu.
"My next trip down there on the
midnight epio.ss I Just called to my
llremaii as 1 eaine in the lclnliy of
.Nleholson's ( urve n' made him keep
his peepers peeled just to see what
he could see. As wo come nroun' the
curve the little white light was on tho
Job all right.
j "Did you see It, Murf?' I hollers
to my fireman.
"'I certainly did,' he says, his teeth
a-obatterln'. 'You golii" to stop?'
"Stop uutliln'.' I answers, for 1 was
gettlir my nerve back now. "If that'i
lllpo Conklln's ghost ho wants to read
up on the rules. It ain't good form
to flag a train with a white light.'
"I Jerked the throttle open 'n' we
went away from there full tilt, bm 1
wasn't acared a bit.
"We wore not through with tho
spookin' of Nicholson's ourvo, how
ever, lor the uci lime I was! iiii.iln'

got a wlilslk signal It'iiiu the coiulm
or to slop and no monkey busliies-i
about It. So I set up the brakes "n
wo stopped. One of the journals on
the sleepers was glltin' agitated 'if
the conductor had signaled mo to stop
till they could soothe It.
"Well, of course J was jusl tickled
to death to stop right there In the
community ol interest ol that will
o' the wispy light. We came to a
standstill Just as 1 was on a diiect
line with It. There It was all right,
fiAvlnglif slowly 'n' steadily. Now that
iVoiild got a good sight on It while
the enjlne was standln' still I saw that
It was considerable to the right of the
tracks 'if some distance away 'if only
the speed of the train comlif nroun'
there made It appear to swing direct
ly across the track.
"Knowlif Hint we would probably
lay to some minutes while the crew
were pacifying Hie anarchistic box I
just stopped down off tho enjlne "if
went to a little clump of trees at the
side of the track 'if peered through.
An' what d'ye think It was? Why,
there on a factory in a village u couple
of miles to the right of the track they
had erected one of them big clocks
for advert lain' purposes. The long
pendulum was lilted with an electric
light 'if as the pendulum went from
right to left, lett to right, the light
would pwing. Conilif around tlm
, curve you could got a glimpse of this
swlnglif light through a clearlif In tho
i trees, but after tho train got straight
ened up again ou'd lose sight lof It.
"As I said heroic, I'm no belleer
In ghosts, but I was mighty glad to
know that It was only a clock pen
dulum 'if not lllpo Conklln's ghost
that hnd been a-heckllif me. If I
hadnf got nervous "if ran so far by I
would have found it out the first night,
'if saved in) self a lot of fiettlif."

More of Buddha's Ashes Found.
Kicavatlons conducted by the Ar
cheologlcal depnrinient of the Indian
government near Peshawar have re
sulted In the dlHoovery of an ancient
nuildliist stupa or memorial mound
containing a bronze casket, within
which are some of the ashes of (!uat
nma Hudilhu, the lounder of Buddhism.
They me Inclosed In a wrought hex
agonal rock crystal receptacle sealed
with royal seal of the Kmperor Kan
Hikii, who was ruling In Peshawar at
tho opening oi the ('hrlstlan era.
The tllsoovery Is reported to have
taken place on a site di-scilbed by tho
Chinese traveloi llleun Tsang In tho
record of his journeys In tho early
years of the Christian era as being
the position of a large lliuhlhlst mon
astery. Pror. A. Vouchor of the Sor
bonne, an authority on Hiublhlst arch
eology, noticed live years ago some
curious mounds In this spot, but had
no appliances for oxen vat ion. Tills
clew has since been followed up" by
Dr. Mnrshall, head of the Indian Arch
eologlcal department.
"When liuddha died In IS2 It. C
bis body was cremated and the ashes
divided In eight parts among his dis
ciples," said I)r U. D. Ilurnett, keeper
of the Oriental books in the Hrltlsh
museum. "One of the vases contain
ing these portions, known as the Piji
rahwa vase, was dlscoveied a few
years ago by a government survey.
The other six are yet undiscovered."

Blind, Dut Picks Berries.
One of tho most expert strawberry
pickers in this country is a blind man.
Hubert .lolly ol Ureas, Wash., - for
yeais has made his annual expenses
picking strawhcrrieB ami other fruit
lor his neighbors, and so skilled Is
lu, and to rapid, that lie earns as
much on the commission plan as a
man with good eyca. .lolly finds his
, way along the rows of vines with his
stick, and carries a dozen crates with
him. Ills nimble lingers find the
Irult, and while one hand is plucking
tho berry tho other Is searching lor
more. Picking cherries or apples and
climbing around on a ladder is as
easy for him as for a schoolboy.

One Kind of Teacher.
"In a school near Concordia," said
Statu Superintendent Kalrchlld of Kan
sas In a discussion ot school work, "u
little French hoy was found by his
, teacher down under a seat trying to
catcli a grasshopper. Tho toucher
got down, too, and assisted the llttlo
Icllow in catching tho hopper. AVhat
a clianco to have done tho wrong
thing to have frightened tho llttlo
lorelgner, to havo scolded and lec

this young man acted under tho cir
cumstances. Ho would have been
my choice for a teener for my boy."
