NEWPORT V leita This ghoet story Is contributed by a correspondent of an English mugazlne: “ Wycollar Hall, near Csfiie. was long the seat of the Cunllffes of Bllllugtou. They were noted persons in their time, but evil days came, and their ancestral estates passed out of their hands. In [ the days of the commonwealth their ! loyalty cost them dear, and ultimately they retired to Wycollar with a rem nant only of their once extensive prop erty. About 1819 the last of the fami ly passed away, nnd the hall Is now a mass of ruins. Little hut the antique fireplace remains entire, and even the room alluded to In the following legend cannot now be Identified. Tra dition says that once every year a specter horseman visits Wycollar Hall. He Is attired In the costume of the early Stuart period, and the trappings of his horse are of a most uncouth de scription. "On the evening of his visit the weather Is always wild and tempestu ous. There Is no moon to light the lonely roads, and the residents of the district do not venture out of their cottages. When the wind howls loud est the horseman can be heard dash ing up the road at full speed, and. a ft er crossing the narrow bridge, he sud denly stops at the door of the hall The rider then dismounts and makes his way up the broad oaken stairs Into one of the rooms of the house. Dread ful screams, as from a woman, arc then heard, which soon subside Into groans. The horseman then makes his appearance at the door, at once mounts his steed and gallops off. “ Ills body can be seen through by those who may chance to be present; his horse appears to be wild with rage, and Its nostrils stream with fire. The tradition Is that one of the Cunllffes murdered his wife In that room and that the specter horseman Is the ghost of the murderer, who Is doomed to pay an annual visit to the home of his victim. She Is said to have predicted the extinction of the family, which, according to the story, has been liter ally fulfilled.” THE T h a i* Y A Q U IN A B A Y Oregon’s Matchless Beach Resort The Place to Go for Perfect Rest and E very Conceiv able Form of Healthful and Delightful Recreation It s F a c ilü ie s o r e C o m p l e t e — Best of food and an abundance of it.

IN S U R A N C E :is P e r “ The critica! faculty is rare.” said an editor and critic at a Philadelphia art club. “ It must lie Impersonal. But most of us Incline to be wholly per sonal In our criticism. The fact was brought home to me at one of the exhi bitions at the Academy of Fine Arts. “ Passing from picture to picture, I overheard many criticisms. Thus a lady in a rich gown said: “ ‘What n superb portrait of a young girl! It should certainly win the Car negie prize. It Is easy to see that the gown was made by Paquin.’ "A fat. red nosed man In a fur lined overcoat halted before a picture enti tled ‘The Luncheon.’ “ 'This still life.’ he exclaimed, 'is the most admirable I have ever seen. Terrapin, canvasback, champagne, lob ster. even Perlgord pie—ah. what a genius.’ “ 'In this historical painting.’ I heard an antiquary say. 'the costumes are ac curate In every detail. The painter is a second Raphael.’ “ 'That horse there.' said a young polo player. 'Is exactly like my Poda- sokus. It's the best picture in the ex hibition.’ “ An nthlete uttered a cry of delight before a daub called ‘The Gladiator.’ “ 'What shoulders! What arms!’ he said. T bet anything the Jury gives this painting the highest award.’ “ And half the throng, departing, said: “ 'The picture tn the last room Is tho best. No. we didn't see It—couldn’t get to It. In fact—but It draws far and away the biggest crowd.’ ” M ola S up erstitions. According to tradition. If you have a mole on your chin you may expect to be wealthy, while If you have It un der your arm It promises you wealth and honor as well. A mole on the ankle Indicates courage. On the left temple a mole Indicates that you will find friends among the great ones of the earth, but If It be placed on the right temple It warns you o f coming distress. A mole on a man's knee means that he may expect to marry a rich woman. A mole on the neck promises wealth. I f you have a mole on your nose you are going to be a great traveler. A mole on tbe throat Indicates health and wealth. 5® JAM ES A n E y e O pe nsr.
