COMPANY Jj OLD TIME LEGAL METHODS When the Evidence of Gliont Stiulccil t to Hun Men The testimony of a ghost would not now count for much in a court of In but the day has been when It has sufficed to hang a man There was a ghostly accuser in a case with which the readers of Scott are familiar Soon dfter the 45 an English soldier wan dering near Braemar met a violent death Years passed and then came a story of a communication from another world A farm servant declared that in the night a spirit had appeared to him de claring itself to be the ghost of the soldier whose bones it is said lay still imburied The Highlander must see to their decent interment and have the murderers two men named brought to justice The highlander promised but did not keep his word and a second and third time the spirit appeared and upbraided him for his breach of faith Alarmed at last and no longer daring to delay the man called a companion and went to the spot which the spirit had indicated and there found the bones of tho mur dered warrior concealed fn a moorland tract called the hill of Christie The story of the highlander came to the ears of an anti Jacobite who caus ed tho matter to be brought to trial before the court of judiciary Edin burgh There the tale was corroborat ed by a woman who had seen a naked figure enter the place on the night spoken of by the man It was an ago of superstition in a district more than commonly given to superstition and the jury seemed disposed to find the two men charged guilty of the nrurder but it happened that the principal wit ness spoke only Gaelic Now said the counsel for the defense in what language did the ghost speak In as good Gaelic as I ever heard in Loch aber was the reply Pretty good for the ghost of an English soldier said counsel and that question and com ment saved the necks of the men at the bar The jury could believe In a ghost but not in an English ghost speaking Gaelic London Standard NAMING A TOWN How Abilene Came to Be Selected by Mrs Hersey Abilene was named by the wife of the founder of the town T F Ilersey With her husband she had come to central Kansas in the spring of 1S37 They lived in a log house on the west side of Mud creek and were the first settlers on the town site although no town then existed nor was there one until 1SG0 Then C II Thompson who had moved to the county from Leaven worth bought from the Kansas Pa cific Railway company a tract east of Herseys and laid out a town When it came to the naming of the I future city Mr Thompson went to Hersey and asked him to suggest a name No was the reply let my wife do it She is a great reader Mrs Hersey was a graduate of a seminary in the east and her little library which she carried with her in her wanderings was one of the tics that bound her to the girlhood life She was a devout Methodist and know her Bible from cover to cover When she was asked to name the town she turned to the New Testament for sug gestion There in the third chapter of Luke first verse she found this Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar Pontius Pjlate being goeruor of Judaea and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene Call the town Abilene said she It means City of the Plains and that exactly describes the location So Abilene it was and in the fight for the county seat wherein it contest ed with Newport Smoky Hill and Un ion City all long since passed away good fortune attended it and the new town became the county capital for the 37S dwellers then in Dickinson county Kansas City Star Fleslimakin Food Cream gruel according to an emi nent English authority is the ideal nourishment for thin folk A teacupful taken at night immediately before re tiring is said to give marvelous results To be at its best it must be perfectly made then thinned with sweet cream Taken in that condition and warm it is agreeable as well as fattening and produces just that sense of satisfied hunger essential to ideal rest It is claimed that perseverance in the treat ment yields such apparent results that the cheeks can be seen to expand from day to day The Pepper Vine The pepper vine grows best in a wooded valley where there is plenty of moisture and abundant foliage to pro tect it from the heat of the sun It is given a rude sort of cultivation The growers plant it keeping the grass from its roots and when the tree near which It is planted has no lower branches strings or poles are placed In proper position to enable the vine to climb the tree It needs no further at tention Sarcastic Yes my dear I believe in transmi
