IVIX HIMSELF SrEAKISG.
I made op my mind," auiJ Uio re
porter, "that if the gloat ever appeared
jn my bedroom again 1 would overcome
my fears and iuk lo it, iuatoad of tnry-
inff my nm,,,r tlie cover. I 'd
the fintt time. Well, sir, stiro enough,
the next night, exactly t eleven, I heard
1 fniut noie by the bod, and I looked
Ground. Thoro ant the apei-tor in a chair.
I iut riRht up and auid, with soma Una
Jew, althongU wy voico trembled :
"Vho are you?"
"I am nobody in particular now," auid
the ghost, "but I waa Aduin."
'Adam who ?"
"Had no family numo. Tluro waa but
one family of us, and they all knew mo.
j waa the first rnuo, you know. You
muht have hoard of mo."
Yea, indeed," auid tlto reporter.
"I'm aorry I can't shake hands," said
the ghost, "but you might a well try to
aliuke hands with a fog bank aa with mu.
jt'a not aociablo, I kuow, but I can't help
It."
"Oh, never mind," aaid the reporter,
"I'm glad to co you all tho same."
"Your namo is Johnson, ain't it?"
asked tho sector.
"No, my namo is Jackson," rcpliod tho
reporter.
'Pshaw I" aaid the ghost, "I waa look
ing for a man named Johnson; but my
eyesight is so bad that I con hi n't rood
your doorphito distinctly. Tho worst of
it is too, I can't wear poctacles; nothing
is substantial enough to hitch them to.
I wish aomo of you peoplo would invont
an eyeglass that can bo worn by near
sighted ghosts. You would confur agon
uiuo benefaction on tho folks in tho other
"What waa your business with John
son ? Perhaps I can"
"Well, in tho first placo, I understand
that ho is one of a committco appointed
to get up a stutuo of mo for tho city of
Eliuira. I havo been in to aeo that
atutuo, aud I want to ask Johnson whero
be got the' idea that I used to wear a straw
hat and sido whiskers. I want to know,
also, what authority he has for giving
me a lloman nose.'
"Hadn't you ono of that kind?"
"Why, man, tho Komans hadn't intro
duced that variety of noso in my timo, !
And Johnson has had me nQosented
with a huge serpent lying nt Muy feet.
Now, what was tho uso of bringing up
painful reminiscences of that kind?
Why not let the matter drop ? Ilangod
if I like it 1"
"It's an outrago 1"
"Uutwoon ourselves," said the specter,
locking his misty fingers over bia knee,
"I don't think much of the stutuo busi
ness, anyhow. Do you know what they
did? Too stingy to mako a fresh piece
of sculpture out of a piece of marble,
tliev bought up a second-hand abituo of
lienjuniiu Franklin at auction, and hired
a man to work it over into mo. Doesn't
look a particle like mo I And, anyhow,
Franklin was no kind of a mau to mako
me out of. Oreenbacker or something,
wasn't he ?"
"We consider him quite respectable?
"Another thing I wunt with Johnson
is to see if I can't make arrangements
with some reliublo spiritualistic medium.
I have boon crowded out in tho cold for
about 4,000 years, and no chance to par
ticipate in anything. Now, I am the
man that started this world. I gave it a
aend-off, and it really does seem hard
that I can't even express my views in a
newspaper, or defend myself from this
calumny, just because I happened to be
dead; now, doesn't it?"
"Very hard, but we didn't think you
took any interest in such things."
"Certainly. I often feel as though I'd
liko to express an opinion about the
tariff, or the elections, or tho buzzard
dollar, or popular education, or some
thing of that kind; and then, of course,
Eve wants to hear everything about the
fashions. I wish thoro was some way
for a ghost to save a little money, bo that
I could subscribe for a fashion journal
or two, just to quiet her. Do you know
of anvthing I could get at?"
"How would it do to make an engage
ment at tho theater to appear as tho
ghost of Hamlet's futher or tho ghost of
13anquo?"
"It doesn't strike me very favorably.
It might be considered rather undigni
fied in the father of the race to bo hang
ing around among scenes, shifters and
fiddlers; besides, they have too much
light on the stage for me; Icatf t got into
shape unless there is absolute darkness.
And then, you know, I'd be exposed to
insult. When we hear a cock crow we
are obliged to flit. Now, suppose, right
in the middle of a performance, some
miserable boy should crow. Even if I
knew it was a false alarm I should be so
unnerved that I couldn't go on; but most
likely I'd vanish as soon as I beard it
just from force of habit. No, the propo
sition doesn't strike mo. Seems unfair,
though, doesn t it, that a man who owned
the entire earth can't call a dollar his
own?"
"If a small loan will bo of any service
to you, I will gladly" said the re
porter. "You're mighty kind; but hero, you
see, we encounter another difficulty.
Where'm I going to put a dollar w hen I
get it? I haven't a pocket about me
that'll hold a cent. Young man, a ghost
has no chance at all. Keep out of the
business as long as you can."
The reporter said he should.
"And now I really must be going. The
nn rises so disgustingly early this time
of the year. I think I Bhall go around
to-morrow night and haunt Johnson, if I
can find him. If you should happon to
see him I wish you'd mention it to him,
so as to prepare his mind. People are
always scary at first with us. Perfect
nonsenso, too! That is all I am. Put
your hand out and feel me. Don't you
see? You can stir all around inside of
me, just as if I wasn't there."
"Wonderful!" said the reporter, "very
wonderful. I never believed in ghosts
before. The oddest thing is that "you,
who lived so long, should take an inter
est in modern politics."
"But I do, though," said tho specter.
"Perhaps you will be willing to tell
me if you are in favor of Hancock or of
Gar''
Just at this juncture, the reporter said,
cock crew in the yard below, and the
ghost Adam vanished. It waa most un
fortunate, too, for his political opinions
would have been interesting. Max
Adeler.
"Why should the letter "g" be greatly
prised by farmers? Because it changes
rain int grain.
TTblch U Better-Beer or Water I
A man once said to me, "Da you be
liore there is more strength in a glass of
waU'r than mug of ale?"
"Stop a bit," I answered; "that is not
a fair comparison. You pay five conta
for your mug of ale I get my glass of
water for nothing. lWsides whoa I driuk
my glass of water, I am satisfied with it;
but if you drink a glass of ale, directly
you must send down another to keep it
company. Suppose now you got a quart
and puy twelve cents for it, and I take
tho sumo amount of money, and puy six
cents for steak, and two cents for broad,
and two cunts for potatoes, and two cents
for apples, and havo a glass of fresh
water for nothiug. Which is tho bettor?
I eat my dinner and am sutisfiod with it,
and go back to my work and tarn more
money. You go back to the i-aloon to
got uioro ale, to siiend your money, and
waste your tinio."
If tho beer drinker will abstain long
enough to get rid of the eflboU of his
beer, ho will find himself able to do
much moro work than when be drinks.
Ono of tho greatest champions of our
day, when ho is training for a content,
says thoro is nothiug like cold water and
dumb bells.
There is no greater mistake than to
supposo that beer and spirits strengthen
a man. They only stir him up and use
up his strength. I drove twenty-four
miles tho other day. When I got within
a mile or so of homo my horso fagged. I
gavo him a sharp cut with my whip and
ho went faster, but I did not say "I've
strengthened my horso!" If that's the
way to strengthen him, why not let him
live on whip-cord 1 Alcohol is a whip
to him that drinks it, and ho is a great
fool that whips himself.
Soino years ago two men took an early
start uud walked over to a neighboring
town twenty miles away. Having
dono their business they walked about to
seo tho placo, and met a fellow-townsman,
who proposed to return with them,
and invited thorn into a beer-shop for a
strengthening drink. "No," said they,
"we are toetolulers, and wo have had our
lunch." Hut ho could not go without a
priming of alo. At last they woro off,
und for a while they all kept even stop,
till after some niilos tho beer man began
to lag behind, and, at tho half-way
house ho must havo a bracer. After
three miles more he wanted another, and
this time it was whisky. Finally at fif
teen miles, he gavo out entirely and
stopped for the night, whoro ho was laid
up for a day or two; while they walked
ou homo and the next day were frosh for
businos.
Oh, no, friends, nil naturo works on
water, and we bolievo that God meant
that man should do tho same.
Take tho water, friends, and all tho
good thiugs that go with it. God's bles
sing is in it.
A man out West obtained a divorco
from his wifo, and married again within
three days aftor the decree was granted.
An Irishmen commenting on the man's
action, remarked : "Bodod, be couldn't
have much respect for his first wifo, to
bo marryin' again so soon' aftor lavin'
her."
A Baptist clergyman In Magoffin
County, Ky, preaches against support
ing missionaries, because, as he says
the Bible gives asurance that when
ever the Gospel is preached unto all
people the eud will have been reached,
and God forbid that be should contribu
ted one cent toward hastening that
portentous period.
