SPOOK IS HUNGRY
“Hant’’ Makes Announcement,
but Can’t Be Located.
Providence (Rhode Island) Citizens
Have a Real Sensation in “Mani¬
festations” Which Have Baf¬
fled Elucidation.
Residents of Pond street, in Provi¬
dence, R. I., are all on edge, for the
house at 207, they assert, is undoubt¬
edly “haunted.”
For a week “manifestations” have
been going on there, and when it came
to the point where Hie cellar was
jammed full of curious people and
a line was waiting out through the
yard into the street, the police took
hold. Tenants said they would move
if they could only find a place to move
to, and both up and down the street
dwellers said If someone did not do
something pretty soon they would
think of moving.
It all came about through a “strange
voice” which, the neighbors say, em¬
anates from the cellar. A week ago,
quoting one of the Pond Streeters, a
tenant went into the cellar and was
startled by the voice saying: “Give
me something to eat, I’m starving.”
The tenant upset his coal scuttle,
but was not nervous about it. He did
not want to worry the other tenants,
so he said nothing until someone else,
entering the cellar, heard distinctly:
“Take me out o’ here.”
There was a consultation; tenants
laughed when they looked at each oth¬
er, but they listened when they passed
the cellar stairs. A neighboring mar
ketman was called into consultation.
He went downstairs “to he shown”
ami with amazing promptness an eerie
voice from behind the confines of the
cellar announced; “1 know you; you're
the butcher.”
Comparison of notes led to the ob¬
servations thut the voice was heard
most frequently at 12 noon and at
a. tn. Noises in the night and the re¬
port that a gas range jazzed
Hie kitchen floor and hack have all
been orally chronicled to prove
there is something the matter.
Patrolman McLaughlin, the man
the beat, was called in. He

Then he took the matter up with
tain Higgins. They went down in
cellar together, explored the walls
pipe ends, but found no
speaking tubes. They looked the
over outside and discovered no
coated twine attached to It, as
llne telephones are sometimes
ed, and then they shook their
Between thirty and forty persons
a time visited the cellar each
hoping to obtain direct evidence of
“manifestations.” Everybody
went away after waiting In vain
moanings but, of course, had not

Children and Boeka.
It does the child no harm to mak«
the acquaintance of books which were
not written for children. In a home
where the great books that have in*
spired or amused successive genera¬
tions are accessible, an active-minded
child is likely at some time or other
to get at them. If we want our chil¬
dren to fall in love with the better
kind of books, let us provide them
with opportunities for meeting such
books without too much formality.

Spring’s Promises.
It Is not the variegated colors, the
cheerful sounds and the warm
breezes which enliven us so much in
spring; it is the quiet, prophetic spirit
of endless hope, a presentment of
many happy days.—Marget Opitz.

held to be innocent until proved guilty.
However, w hen he has been found
