Wandering Apparltlone All In Wlittn
Vl.lt tlie Scrim at Midnight.
One day- in tho winter of 1891-2
the dreadful word reached the dty
and spread joy or it like wildlife that
a Monon piissengor had jumped the
Adis just north of town and left in
its track death and destruction.
The story of tho awful, ghastly
procession, with its blanched faces,
as it camo i lowly into town on tliat
memorable nftomoon, is well remem
hered and can never bo forgotten.
The sight of thoso wrecked care,
smoking ruins, crippled people and
dead bodies on tho hillside is frosli
in tho memory of all.
Since that fatal day a quiet tnclan-
h^v
tho unfortunate spot. Evon horses
and cows slum it. Birds turn their
flight as thoy approach it. Only the
morbidly curious nave ventured near
it
One night a leading physician of
this dty, who was present a few mo
ments after the awful catastrophe
and was an eyewitness to tho terrible,
hearti-ending scene, was called from
his warm bed to see a sick man who
resides not far from where the
wreck occurred. He told of his mid
night trip, which, if it did not turn
his raven locks white, gave him a
scare that ho will never recover
from. He says that just as ho ap
proached the foot of tho short hill
whoro tho wreck occurred ho heard
the distant rumbling of an approach
ing train.
Cheeking his horse he waited, and
in a moment the north bound Monon
passenger dashed by on its way to
Chicago. Before the bright lights of
the many windows had disappeared
and tho distant rumbling of the
wheels had died away, while tho
long lino of lioavy, black smoke still
hovered over tlie hill, a sight met his
gaze that almost paralyzed him with
foar.
With the greatest difficulty lie held
his horse, wild with fright and
plunging mid snorting to break away.
Beforo him, oh tho liillsido, where
tho fatal conches had rolled down, ho
saw two figures clothed in white.
Thoy would rise from tho ground,
walk about and hold up their white
arms in supplication,
“I novor," continued the doctor,
"believed in glioHts. But tliero were
two right before my eyes. I didn’t
feel tliut I was exactly scared, hut I
was possessed with a sensation thnt
is indescribable. It was un awful
moment. I can yot see those white
robed visions walking about on that
liillsido. I only remained a moment,
but it seemed to mo I was there an

bound, I don’t believo I could get
him near that spot again, evon iu
daylight. If you doubt what I say

A Way to Handle Many Lines*
A friend of mine has three desks in
his office and handles three brandies
of ft good business, his dorks, sten
ographer, etc., being in an adjoining
room. Ho novor allows any work to
be placed beforo him during the day
that does not pertain to tho particu
lar branch on which he is at the time
gaged. Tho desk at which he sits
indicates that. Ho devotes so much
time to each desk—enough to keep
the work clear. If you should hap
pen to visit him on business I10 will
immediately shift seat to tho desk at
which this .particular business is
transacted.
By this method he can transact tho
business of two clerkB. Real estate

maintain a strict division in their

How to Sco Under Water.
A lens for seeing under water is
described ns producing an effect
which is both astonishing and de
lightful. It gives distinct vision to
objects from twenty to thirty feet
below the surface, and which aro
usually out of ordinary oyo range.
The eye’s loss of extended vision
when under water is owing to the
fact that an entirely different focus
is required. The spectacles .which
can adjust this focus aro made by
putting two watch crystals back to
back, or with the concavities out
ward. Try it and he surprised.—St
