One liltiht, after they' bad occupied the dwelling for over a week, the tunn of lb family waa awakened by a. audden ecrram. 111a wife awoke at the anine moment, and exclaimed: "One of the clilMrco must have the iilKlitmsre," but Just then the two little glrla rushed Into th room, exclalmlnr.

Thl .time Mr. Weston held beraelf reiiionallile for the terrible acroaina. "I've bad a dreadful drenm, and I suppose I acreumed without knowing It," ah anld. 8he hud hardly finished thla explanation when again came the acres in a. Hi lit nt dying away In a tilled monn. The family waa by thla time thor oughly terrified. They bad benrd the atory of the I.eallea, und without wait' ting for further experlencea In the boaae they moved at once. Their atory got about the town, with the reault thut the houae waa va cant for a year. Then n family, con' dating of ii n elderly couple, Mr. and' lira. Walters, nnd their ton, a young man about twenty-five, moved In . Th remainder of 'the atory waa told me by thla ann, nnd I will give It In bla own words a a nearly aa possible. "I waan't ' ufruld of any haunted bouae. My futher waa denf, en It would tuke a rcnxuniilily loud acrenm to wake blin, nhd my mother wna a enilble womnn. The houae luat milt ed ua.

Th flrt night they wer thar I atayed In town for the theater, The train I rntne nut In left a few mlnutei after eleven, nnd I reached the houae at about a quarter before twelve, I wna nearly ready for bed wben a ahrlek like tlmt of a peraon atrnggllng for hi life Bounded through th houae. I hurried Into th ball, and aa I did to my brother opened hl i 'door. Hofore elthur of ua could apeak a aecond und a third arreniti follow! By thla tlm voii father'! dtmf ear had been penetrated, and w all at up tulklng th matter over far Into th night before w felt Ilk deep. "In th end w decided not to men tion lb occurrence, W thought of teverul poaalbl xplnatlona of the tiOla. Th next morning w mad a cart-ful examluatlon of th bom and aurroundloga. W made Inqulrlea a to lut train, thinking w might have nilatukeo th ahrlek of an engln for a human vole; but all our con jectur led to nothing. We rould find no ; autlafuctory reaaon for th dis turbance. I made Iniiulrlea about th Leslie, and found thut many peopl believed that Lealle bad stifled bla wlf a. and then taken some subtle poison which left no trace; but ther wa no evi dence to support thla theory ; no sign of polaon had been found, no raue could be given for auch an act, and nothing could explain the midnight acrrnma, A week paaaed quietly, wben one night my brother awakened our mother, telling her that hi wlf wis III, 8he had awikened from a bad dream almost euffocited, and my mother worked over her for some tlm before she wis restored. 8b refuted to tell her dream, but w sver weft assured that It wa a repetition of Mr. Weaton'l. The next morning my brother and bis wlf went to their home. 'I had on mor experience In that bouse which I shall never forget. My father wss to be out on night until midnight at th meeting of a socUty of which ha was a member, and my mother and I decided to wait up for him. "About eleven o'clock mother lay down on the couch and went to aleep. Th room waa, brightly llghtad, and I ant Dear th roach reading. Muat as I heard my father come In I wa martled by a audden moan from my mother. I turned quickly toward the coach, and aa I did so I saw plKlnly thst th sofa pillow lay upon her face. I anatched It away, and awakened her with eome little difficulty. 'Meantime my father bad com Into the room, and a he entered, a ecreem, terrible In Ita nearness and Intensity, rung out. thrilling n all with a sick ening shock. W left th next day." Thla flnUhed bis atory. No explana tion of these happening1 baa ever been given. The Leslies' Heath re mains a mystery, and to explain the I'reaenre that occupied thla rottage after their death would be to account for a aide of life which we barely touch and cannot comprehend. The bouae la atlll to let. Secret of Chemiitry Hidden in the Brain "Know thyself" waa th advice given nearly twenty flv centuries ag' by a Creek philosopher. Nearer our own time Alexander i'op expresaed the 'mid notion when he an Id "tbe proper study of mankind Is man. I'robably thla Idea Is a old aa thought Itself. Tef, though w bare learned a vast amount about the star, th earth, th animals, Inaccta and plnnta, and the human body, we have found out very little about the thing Inside of u that makes ua of th body, Collier' aaya. We neither know ourwlvea, nor can w run ourselves hslf so well as w do our automobile. We da not know what It la that makes us think, We cannot tell where our emotion or! si ns I e, and why It Is that we, as Individuals and crowds, do many things of which w ara afterward ashamed. W cannot aay what cause crime, riot and wara any mora than1 what makea men play the hem In sinking ships. To borrow the word of Ir. Alexis Carrel: "No one insists th manner In which mem ory. Intelligence, Courage, Judgment and Imagination ara connected with th bruin cell." Yet the mora ' w gain and apply Information about other thing the mora Becessury doe Information about our Inner selves become. Chemistry and spiritual progress seem far apart, yet the secret of both may be In the same bubble In the brain. Soma of tha aalnta of past agea retired Into th wood and dea erta. Who knows but those of the future will be found In laboratorlea? And our sins. Ilk our bodily diseases, may be cured by a mora perfect, knowl edge.

Ortt oAtnong the OTABLES RICHARD CATLING RICHARD OATLINO waa Inventor of th modern type of machine gun. Ther wer guus, before mat, which fired mor than a tlngl volley, but none could approach tha Oatllng for efficiency. Oatllng was born September . 13, 1818, In North Carolina, son -of a wealthy planter with an Inventive eort of mind. Toting ltlchard bad auch a good education that by the Urn ha waa seventeen he was Intellectually far beyond most grown men. With hla father, b perfected a machine to tow cotton seed, and for many years afterwards, v. till his work carried him about th country and at last to Bt Louis, h kept Inventing fanning machtnea. A steam plow bad great poaalbllltea ; planting and thinning ma chine almost revolutionized fanning. H Invented a acrew propeller for teamboata, only to find Krtrsaon'had secured a patent for tha ism Idea a few daya before. He atudled medi cine for a time. Than, with th outbreak of the Civil wr, b turned bla thou Ms to mili tary weapon and made th first ma chine gun. , It fired aome 830 ehota a minute and wta th marvel of all who saw It But the ordnance department, for torn unknown reason, refused even to look at It, General Butler thought enough of It to buy a dozen with bla own money and ua them, however. Hut It was aome time after the war, that' contrreaa consented to uaa th gun (perfected then to a speed of almost thousand shots a minute). Rlnce then It haa been usod all over th world. Of course. It la obsolete now. Catling lived until 1003. S kv OxirM MmUmw Atems ) IS IT COLFAX?

I'ALKENIIKRQ The Falkenhcrg family la of Germsnlc origin, although their German blood la very liberally diluted with Anglo Saxon stock at the present tlm.

IQIOUR I LJ Last Name i ' i i , , Ti " nm ii Tro RAISING GEESE IS QUITE PROFITABLE During th psst yesr I hav been raising gees and I have found them to be profitable. There la a good mar ket for geese. In th first lilac geese require left grain than any other fowl. That la Important The gees derive a great er part of their living from pasture and roaming about, and they get Just what they require In th way of feed. In winter It't different. W muat feed them, but they do not ett Ilk other fowls, and I have found they will fatten mora quickly than other fowls, ssys a writer In the Indiana Farmer Guide. Th Important thing that I do not want overlooked la th fact that th goallng ara the easiest of all fowls to raise. That has been my ex perience ef many year past perhape ten years or longer. One they tr hatched out, with ordinary rare, they will thrive and grow with rapidity to maturity. The thing that Is hardest It to get them hatched. I hav found many eyes that were Infertile, so I always set plenty of them. Th little gosling will seldom touch feed other than bit of grass until after three or four day. ' On thing la essential, and that I having plenty of drinking water. They mast bava thla, and require It for that seems to be their very nature. Th ben and gosling are kept In their coop, where It la warm for tbe first week. Sometime I keep them In ten day when It la damp and cold. After that they are allowed all the free range they want except on rainy daya. The first feed I glv the gosling la hard-boiled eggs mixed with milk and eornmeal. Tbat la the best thing In the way of feed that I have ever tried. The milk muat be tweet for best re sults. The eggs msy be crushed up, shell and all. and mixed with the milk and corntneal. Th Brat month the goslings ara fed about four times a day. I have always done tlila, for while young and grow ing tliey require nourishment often, althoagh sparingly fed each time. It Is folly to overfeed and It Is also In jurious, t Tha breeding birds are fed care fully during winter. I glv fhem clover, vegetable and sprouted osta, so they do not get too fat' , Young Turkeys Require - Shelter in Wet Weather Young turkey are susceptible to wet weather. - One-precaution that must alwtya be observed In handling the young poults Is to see that they bar a dry place where they are protected from th ralnstorma, and that they hav a dry place to roost Turkey hens will Isy when a year old If they are well matured. It la probably best Jo keep the majority ef th flock older bens, but It Is neces ssry to keep some of the belief young hens to gradually replsce th older liens. In thla wsy th flock can be kept In the best of condition. In feedlug snd caring for young poults ther are at msny different rations and methods advocated aa there are for chicks. Js'o food should be given to th young poult for tbe first 30 to 43 hour. Iiurlng the tint week hard boiled Infertile egt chopped fine and mixed with equal parts of rolled oata and fed In limited quantities three times a day la a satlsfac;ory ration. Sour skimmed milk or buttermilk Is excellent for drinking purposes. Aft er the third or fourth day cracked corn, hulled or steel-cut oata, cracked wheat or other similar grains may' be scattered In the light litter or In the short grass outside of, the brood coop In order to encourage the poults to exercise In getting their food. June 13 the Best Time to Caponize Cockerels While capons are produced, only In small number where their quality la known, they ell for fancy prices, ac cording to D. II. Hull, extension poul try specialist of Clemson college, who suggests that the month of June I th best time to caponize young cockerels. At thl leason th market la usually low for broilers and It Will pay to ca ponize cockerel and keep them for capons. i In selling these capons the local market must be developed first Some of our tourist towns or already pro viding good market for capon and are paying good price for tbem., , Several men In South Carolina are caponlzlng for the farmers, and are marketing their products for them at a small cost. The operation on the cockerel Is not difficult usually, but should be per formed with care. If the cockerels are atarved out from 30 to 43 hours be fore the operation. It will help greatly. If tha Intestines are full of food the operation la verj difficult ! Dirty Feet Retard Eggs , When yards and houses are wet and oore with moisture most of the time. It means cold and dirty feet for tha hens. A hen that "gets cold feet" ecldom lay th right quota of eggs, and dirty feet tnak dirty nests snd dirty eggs. In cases where a suit able dry location Is hard to get, along with other deslruhl factor, place a three-Inch tile even with the bottom of the foundation on the outside, and provide proper outlet for excess moisture. rui 1 LIlU Portland.

The reason why you do not laugh when ydu tickle yourself la because, strictly speaking, you cannot tickle yourself.
