Haunted Houses
Ghosts stories are popular for
Halloween, when spooks,, hob­
goblins and witches are supposed
to hold a high carnival.
The subject is one which ex­
ercises a peculiar fascination for
some minds, that of the writer
among others. He is never so
happy as when reading a hair
raising ghost story with the cold
chills running up and down his
spine. For his readers' delect­
ation this evening, he gives the
following bona fide instances.
At least they have been told on
reliable authority.
The first comes from the well
known English actress Miss
Langtry now Lady De Bathe, who
tells it in her reminiscenses
recently published in the Cos­
mopolitan.
When first she moved to Lon­
don she occupied a house, built
on the site of the old Tyburn
gibbet. Certainly that was
enough to give the place a ghost­
ly reputation. Personally she
experienced nothing peculiar,
except for a certain eerie atmos­
phere and the sudden unaccount­
able opening and slaming of
closed doors. Her butler, who
slept in the basement, however,
had woeful tales to tell, of his
slumbers being disturbed by ap­
paritions, with and without their
heads tumbling over his bed.
But she ascribed this to the fact
that his breath indicated that he
had kept his spirits up by pouring
spirits down. After his dis­
charge, she felt more sympathy
for him, when a maid, who was
absolutely trustworthy, told her
about being stopped one morning
in broad daylight, when going
downstairs, by a man dressed in
a costume of the cavalier period.
The second, is of Impington
Hall near Cambridge, England.
Some acquaintances of the writer
once rented it, and had this
peculiar experience. The dining
room was small and so when
they gave a dinner party they
set the table in the hall which
was spacious, and whenever they
did so, on sitting down to dinner
a loud knocking was heard be­
neath the table, No cause for it
could ever be discovered and
what was more curious, the
knocking was never hear d
when the family were alone.
So they said the ghost evidently
did not like visitors.
The third instance concer ns
Fyvie Castle in Aberdeenshire,
Scotland. This is the ancestral
homeof the Gordons, and in it isthe
Gordon bedroom vVhich has an
evil reputation. Stories a r e
told in connection with it, of st range
noises, by those who have slept in
it, whoclaim to have been wakened
by a cold hand passed over their

players. But those were only
incidents of the game. The main
feature, the score, showed 24 for
Estacada, and a goose egg for
Washington. This was the third
consecutive game, this season,
in which the opposing team fail­
ed to score against the home
team.
After the game, the visitors
were served with an excellent
dinner by the domestic science
department of the high school.
Much credit is due, and the thanks
of the home team are hereby
tendered to Miss Schrepel and
her assistants for furnishing such
a dainty, well served, and appe­
tizing repast.
The visitors departed in good
humor over their licking; and the
home team separated, happy for
having done the licking. Yes,
the score was 24 to 0 in favor of
Estacada.
Naturally the boys are looking
forward to succeeding games and
have hopes of the championship.
Just what weight may be given
to their aspirations will hardly be
known until they have a try at
Lincoln or Franklin. In con­
nection with the championship,
Yamhill Co. has a contender at
McMinnville who defeated Ore­
gon City 43 to 0.
Hallowe’en Warning
The hobgoblins, sprites and
witches who go on the rampage
on Hallowe’en are allowed much
license in innocent and legitimate
fun. But they are warned that
damage to property or removal

inconvenience or loss to the own­

have heard hurried footsteps and
stifled shreiks. Every laird of
the house who dies at Fyvie,
must die in this room. When the
laird who died in 1884 was in his
last illness, he was moved from
this room to another. His wTife
left him for a few minutes, and
on her return found he had dis­
appeared. Search was made, and
he was discovered in the Gordon
room in a faint. On recovering,
he said that the Green Lady had
come in, as his wife left, and
beckoned to him. He felt com­
pelled to follow her to this room,
which was lit up by her presence
and become dark when she van­
ished. He died shortly after­
wards.
