Jrfcn Quinn, an old
Yesterday afternoon, after locking ail
the doors, the family left for a few hours’ |
visit with some friends in another part 1
of the city. On their return home about
dusk they were startled to see Mr. Quinn,
dressed in his ordinary wearing apparel,
walking up and down the floor of his sey
former sleeping room.
Several neighbors were called to wit
ness the strange spectacle, among whom
were Wilber Walker, Mary Wilmer and
Mrs. Henry Kirby. Mr. Quinn's ghost
came twice to the window, bowed to j
people gathered in the street and then
eat down in the window.
Suddenly every trace of him disap- ;
peared. Mr. Spreht and Miss Wilmer j
mustered np courage enough to enter J
the house and found that not a laulp in |
the house would burn. Lights were ob
tained from the neighbors and search
was made throughout the house. Every- i
thing was found securely locked, and
there was no trace of any one having en
tered. The neighborhood is greatly ex
cited over the occurrence.—Cor. Indian
apolis Journal.
Couldn't S*«* How.
Mrs.Bibbs (suspiciously)—“I don’t see
how it is that typewriter girl of yours
manages to dress better than I can. ’
Mr. Bibbs—“Why, you see, she works
by another foj . livjng an ,j vou don’t.”—Xew York
Weekly.
I’apa—“And now that all that money
has been spent in your education, what
can you do?”
Alice—*‘I can get married.”—Mun-
kly.
It may be as well once again 1
readers of the necessity for moderation
in fishing. Several records of catches
glanced over lately show far too many
fish killed for the fishermen to honestly
lay claim to the title of true sportsmen.
Season after season the old disgusting
story of the wanton destruction of our
game fish is told, while alleged gentle
men anglers and sportsmen keep on de
stroying fish recklessly, as though they
imagined the supply to be inexhaustible.
I do not mean to suggest that all anglers
are alike guilty. There are plenty of
men who know how to kill fish in sea
son, and who know enough to cense cast
ing when they have enjoyed a reasonable
amount of sport.
But there are others who appear to
measure their pleasure by the number of
fish killed, and who think more of being
“high hook” than of genuine sportsman
ship, and so they take fish as long as fish
will nse, though they know that half the
victims will never be used. The man
\$ho will kill a trout or bass and throw
it away to rot among the bushes is no
more a true sportsman thau is the man
who uses dynamite instead of the legiti
mate tackle.—Outing.
A New Use for llook Plate*.
1 have a l>ookish acquaintance who
has conceived a new and by n6 means a
bad nse fur the plates of one of his books.
About five years ago he wrote a novel
which was quite successful—that is, it
sold through three or four editions. Its
title would bo perfectly familiar to any
literary i>erson were I to print it. For
the last year the book has ceased to sell,
and as quite a number of copies of the
novel wero on hand any further printing
would be improbable.
This summer my friend built a new
summer house, and when the builders
reached the fireplace in his study an idea
struck him. Ho forthwith opened nego
tiations with his publishers ^o sell him
the plates of his novel. The deal was
consummated, and the author, ns ho will
sit before his fire next autumn, will have
the pleasure of seeing his entire fireplace
made cf tho plates of his book, and it is
not such a foolish idea, by long odds.—
New York Cor. Chicago Herald.
Peony Red 250 Year* Old.
In tho yard of the old Foster home
stead is a flaming bed of peonies. The
bed lias a history. Hundreds of years
ago maidens in Germany plucked the
gaudy flowers, and in the days when onr
forefathers were straggling for suprem
acy with the red men Indians used to
beg a flower to stick in their topknots.
Mr. N. Foster, who was at work in his
garden yesterday afternoon, said, point
ing with pride to the big red flowers:
"Those peonies were brought from Ger
many by an ancestor of mine 259 years
ago. They were at first planted in the
yard of the old Breed house at the cor
ner of South and Summer streets. All
the Breed family today have flowers
from that stock growing in their gar
dens. In the early days the Indians used
to come to the old Breed homestead and
trade a basket of clams for one of the
flowers to wear in their hair.”—Lynn
(Mass.) Press.
A Woman'* Hot Du; Lunch.
Nobody will deny that it was a very
hot day. It was so hot ut noon that men
dispensed with their coats and hats and
carried fans. Few persons cared to eat,
and the average luncheon served in the
down town eating resorts was very
light. Barrels of iced tea anti iced cof
fee wero drank. A perverse woman,
however. Pepped into a “quick luuch”
place in Nassau street and calmly or
dered hot coflfee—and ice cream. She
took a spoonful of each ultimately. The
man who sat next to her moved to an
other seat, because be said he could not
stand the steam from that cup of coffee.
—New York Times.
Near Lamar, Colo., a little girl of four
years wandered to the platform of an
express train and was blown off while
tho train was running at the rate of
thirty miles an hour. A locomotive was
sent back, and the searchers found the
child at midnight sitting unhurt in a
clump of weeds and keeping very still
for fear tho Indians would get her.
