The Wallack Ghost.
No traces of the ghost that used
to haunt the old Star theater have
been discovered by the workmen
who have destroyed the building, yet
it once attained the dignity of inves
tigation by one of the psychical so
cieties. It was said to he the ghost
of James Wallack, the member of
the family that built the theater
and moved there from his playhouse
farther down Broadway. The old
actor was supposed for years to
hannt the building and was seen in
various parts of the theater by so
many persons that an encounter
with the specter came to he regard
ed as a matter of course in the es
tablishment.
The stories of' these encounters
were so frequent and narrated with
such conviction that the matter was
formally taken up by a scientific so
ciety, which never rendered any re
port of its conclusions on the sub
ject. It was thought that something
to explain the ghost might be found
when the building was tom down,
hut so far there has been nothing
that might suggest the origin of the
belief held by all the theater em
ployees that the specter of old
James Wallack was accustomed to
walk in the building for many years
after his death.—New York Sun.
Mark Twain’s Discount.
A good story is told of
Twain and a bookseller’s
Twain was formerly a partner in
| publishing firm, and one day he went
into a bookstore, and, picking up
book, he asked the clerk the price
it. He then said that as a publisher
he was entitled to 50-per cent dis
count. The clerk told him that
all right, and then Twain said: ,
"And as I am also an author I am
entitled to 50 per cent discount for
that reason, am I not ?”
To this also the clerk assented.
"Then I am a personal friend of
the proprietor’s, and I presume you
will allow me the usual 25 per cent
discount on that score.”
Again the clerk bowed assent. .
"Under those conditions I think
.1 will take the book,” said the hu
morist. "How much ?”
The clerk did some figuring with
his pencil and then said, without al
lowing a smile to intrude upon the
solemnity of the occasion:
"As I figure it we owe you the
book and 37 1-2 cents in money.
We shall be glad to have you call
again.”

David Bispham, the singer, has
broken himself of the habit of
smoking cigarettes in so simple a
way that he wants everybody else
addicted to the habit to try Ms
method.
"I used to wonder,” Mr. Bispham
said the other day in a voice that
proclaimed his desire to give the
method all possible publicity,
"whether it was the smoke I enjoyed
or merely the sensation of holding
the cigarette. in my mouth. I de
cided that it was in all probability
only the latter. To cure myself I
began by putting into my mouth
whenever I felt like smoking a piece
of pencil and keeping it there until
my temporary nervousness passed
away. <After I had done that for a
week I found the pencil just as sat
isfactory as the cigarette, and I de
cided that it was not the tobacco to
wMch I was a victim. In less than
a month I had entirely broken my
self of the habit of smoking ciga
rettes, and I have never gone back
to them. Whenever I feel a particu
larly strong longing for one, I puff
on a pencil for a moment and am
satisfied.”—-New' York Sun.
A Postmaster Writes;
I wish to add my testimonial to
the genuine merit of Dr. Caldwell’s
Syrup Pepsin. I have tried many
remedies, but have found your Syr
up Pepsin superior to all other laxa
tives and stomach medicines. My
wife and I both use it, and know it
does all that you claim for it.
Yours sincerely, C. O. Kinne.

Sunset Cox Stumped.
The late Sunset Cox told tMs sto
ry himself:
"Senator Bayard and myself were
to speak at Albany. We had an im
mense audience. Bayard led off in
one of the best efforts of his life.
The very air was charged with mag
netism. Ho was cheered to the echo‘
as he proceeded, and when he sat!
down there was a perfect storm of
applause. I was to follow. I was 1
boiling over with enthusiasm my
self, and as I stepped forward I
raised my arm and, extending the 1
index finger toward the vast throng,
cried out in the elation of my spir
its, ‘Boys, we’ve got ’em, we’ve got
’em, we’ve got ’em!’ Thereupon a
very thin, shrill, piping voice arose
above the din: Ties, yo’ve got ’em
bad. What’s yo’ licker ?’ The voice
was so peculiar and the witticism so
apropos that the whole audience was
convulsed with laughter. But im
agine, if you can, my chagrin! I
was unable to go on and retired,
while-making a forced effort to join
in the generakmerriment.”
