[Copyright, 1903, by C. B. Lewis]
I
T was a gusty October night on
the Cumberland mountains as I I
sat with Zeb White before his big
kitchen fireplace, and now and
then the wind walled among the pines
tn a way to make one feel a bit creepy.
We had roasted and eaten the chest-
suts and lighted our pipes for a smoke
when I asked the old man If it wasn't
a good night outside for spooks.
"It’s Jest the right sort of a night,”
he replied, “but I ain’t skassly expect
in' one to visit us. One did call on me
one night, though, six or seven years
_ —_ tp
ago.
I begged him for the story, and ns
the doors and windows rattled and the
Wind moaned In the big chimney he
continued:
"I got home one evenin’ to find my
ole womau so skeered that she was
Dimeoy the ghost showed’ up. He was
gwine to look inter the winders, sumo I
as befo’, but he changed his mind when
he stepped inter that b'artrap. I used
to be sunthln’ on the yell myself, but
the way that ghost hooted beat my
time all holler. The ole womau faint
ed dead away, but I got outer bed and
lit up and dressed myself and wasu’t
In no great burry either. The hootin’
kept up, and arter about ten mlnits I
went out to see what a ghost looked
like. Thar was a bed sheet lyin’ on
the alrth, and with one leg cotched in
the trap was a man. I knowed him to
once fur an onery critter named Piny
Green, livin’ furder up the mounting.
He wns sorter down on me kase I
wouldn’t naybur with him, and he was
playin’ ghost to spite me. When 1
axed him what he was doin’, he pur-
tended his darter was sick and wunted
camphor. I left him right thar and
went in to my ole woman and nursed
her up and told her what I had cotched
in the trap; I never seen her so mad
befo’ or since. Slic’d bin la y In’ it to
the Lawd, and It was only that pesky
Piny Green. 1 went out and cut somo
switches, and then I held the candle
while she licked the varmint till he
couldn’t hoot another holler. Then I
got him outer the trap and let him go,
and he Jest limped off to No’th Caro-
leeny and never cum back.”
"And what did Mrs. Whits think
about ghosts after that?” I asked.
Before old Zeb could answer me Mrs.
White appeared in the kitchen door
and said:
“What yo’ critters dun talkin' ’bout
at 10 o’clock at night? Better git to
bed or yo* won’t be fitten to bunt that

the old man, “but she was so sot that

What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
If you need a medicine you should have the
best. Sold by druggists in 50c. and$l. sizes.
