E REALM
OF FASHION
I t was daring my second year at the
University of M. that the strange case
of what has since been called “Meri-
weather’s ghost” occurred there. The
tradition dates back some twenty years
and has been talked about now and
again aver since Whenever I go back
to the college the following dialogue

“W h at waa your class?’ I am asked.
"Ninety-one”
“Let me see—that waa about the
time of that great football game In
which Merlweather figured so strange
ly, wasn’t It?*
“I saw the gam e”
That’s quite enough to collect a num
ber of undergraduates who listen In
rapt attention to my ’ account Of the
matter.
The spirit of football was rampant
that year; Yt seemed that all we went

least the biggest aod strongest men
were In for football, and the rest of

Spooner la «till shivering over his nar
row escape. There was to be a circus
over at Darby’s Ferry, and a good
many of the simple people of Delhi
calculated on going. The minister»
and deacons and other Christian peo-
pie frowned upon the idea, of course,
and Deacon Spooner in particular used
all his Influence^ to keep people at
home.
Whatever got the matter with him
on circus day he himself could never
explain, but he got up at daylight and
walked eeven miles, and when the per
formance opened he had a front seat.
A hundred Delhi people saw him there,
bat he didn’t seem to care. In fact,
he appeared to be having the beet time
possible, and he didn’t even get con
scious stricken over It when he got
home.
O f course, such a break could not
pass unnoticed. When Deacon Tyler
heard of It he called Deacon Williams,
and the two together called upon the
minister and others, and it was decid
ed to bring Deacon Spooner to account.
B e got scared about it and wanted to
go to Iowa and visit bis sister, but
he was held on to and put on trial.
When he was asked If he wanted to
make a statement, he rose up and said:
"I said 1 wouldn’t go to the clrclis,
and I advised others not to go, and
whatever got Into me I can’t under
