TALES OF GHOSTS
Lord Brougham's Curious Experr
ence With a "Spook."
A COMPACT AND ITS SEQUEL
Tho Craapy story a* It W?? Told In
tho English Statoairan'a Autobiog
raphy ? Gootho Onco Saw a Spoctor
of Himaolf? A "Ghost" Cuvior Saw.
There was a certain Pteander whose
name ha* been preserved In one of the
proverbial saying* of the Greeks be
cause he lived In eontlnnal fear of see
Inc his own ghost. Just that thing hap
pened to the German poet Goethe. One
da.v, when he was out riding In a
?pot somewhat removed from I lie usual
haunts of men. he saw a horseman
approaching blni. and as it drew near
he saw that the rider was no less a
person than himself? hi* other self?
though dressed differently. Twenty
years after he found himself quite
without forethought of the matter In
the same place on horseback and dress
ed just as was the apparition of him
self which he had met there two dee
ades before.
Lord Brougham (pronounced Broom),
the Knglish statesman, orator and au
thor, after whom the well known
species of vehicles was named, had a
remarkable experience with a "spook."
He tells the story In his autobiography
published In 1871.
"A most remarkable thing hapi>ened
to me." he says,. "so rvinarkahle that I
must tell the story from the N>g1nnlug
After I left lite high school ?iti Kilin
burghl I went with G., my most lull
mate friend, to attend the classes In
the university. We frequently In our
walks dismissed and s|>eculated upon
man's grave subject*, among others
on the Immortality of the soul and a
future state. This question and the
possibility. 1 will not say of ghosts
walking, but ?f the dead appearing
to the living, were subjects of much
speculation, and we artually committed
the folly of drawing up an agreement,
written with onr blood, to the effect
that whichever of us died flrst should
appear to the other and thus solve
any doubt we had entertained of the
"life after death.'
"After we had hnlsiic<l clnsses st
college O. went to Imlln. hnvlnu got
ail appointment there In the civil serv
lee. He seldom wrote me. am! after a
lap* of a few year* I ha<l almost for
gotten him. Moreover, his family hav
ing little connection with Kdlnburgh.
I seldom saw or heard anything of
them, so that all the old schoolboy In
timacy had died out and 1 had nearly
forgotten his existence. 1 had taken,
as I have said, a warm hath, and while
In !t and enjoying the comfort of the
heat after th? late freezing I had nn
dergone I to mod my head ronnd tr?
want the chair on which I had de
posited my clothes as I was about to
get out of the hath. On the chair sat
(>. calmly looking at me llow I got
out of the l?ath 1 know not. but on re
covering my senses I found myself
sprawling on the floor. The appari
tion or whatever It was that had taken
the likeness of U. had disappeared."
It was afterwnrd ascertained that (5.
had died In India on the very day hla
apparition was seen by Iiord Brougham.
Very similar la an Incident related
by Sir Walter Scott under date of 1S18.
A certain Mr. Bullock had lieen em
ployed by Sir Walter to make Improve
ments at Abbotsford. Mr. Bullock
was called to I^ondon. and during his
absence the Incident narrated In the
following letter took place. Scott, writ
ing to a Mr. Terry, says:
"The night before last we were
awakened by a violent noise like the
drawing of new boards along the new
part of the house. I fancied some
thing had fallen and thought no more
of It. This was about 2 In the morn
Ing. Lust night at the same witching
hour the same noise oenrred. Mrs. 8 .
as you know, is rather tlmcrsome. so
I got up with Beardy's broadsword
under my arm?
"Sal bolt upright
And ready to tight.
"But nothing was out of order. Nei
ther could I discover what occasioned
the disturbance." The strange thing
about this Is that Bullock died In lx>n
doti on the very day and as near aa
could be ascertained at the very hour
that Sir Walter heard the "spooks" at
Abbotsford In writing later to the
same correspondent he said: "Were
yon not struck with the fantastical co
Incidence of our nocturnal disturbance
at Abbotsford with the melancholy
event that followed? I protest to you
that the noise resembled half a do7.cn
men hard at work pulling up boards
and furniture, and nothing could be
more certain lhan that nobody was on
the premises nt the time "
These are Instances of what may be
termed successful ghosts. The ghost*
that have failed are perhaps entitled
to a brief notice A "ghost" once un
dertook to frighten the great natural
ist, Cuvler. This ghost appeared with
an oi's head. Cuvler awoke and found
the fearful thing glaring and grinning
at his bedside.
"What do you want?"
"To devour yon." growled the ghost
"Devour me." quoth the great
Frenchman, "hoofs, horns, graminiv
orous? You can't do It. Clear out!"
And clear ont the discomfited ghost

Pacific Ocean Current*.
Report* received by the French gov
ernment from Its consular offlceni In
Hawaii throw light. It I* thought, on
? ?ertaln problems of ethnography. Not
very Ion* ago a little schooner, dis
mantled ami with It* milder gone aa
the result of a tempest, was drifted by
wind# and ocean current* from Tahiti
to Hawaii after eighty -on? day*. Ha
waiian tradition* declare that In an
olent day* |>eoplo came from Tahiti,
drifting with the Mimti, and settled
the Island*. The ndventure of the dla
mantled schooner seems to prove the
possibility of snch n migration, and It
1* suggested that the currents of the
Pacinc. which have not yet been suf
flclently studied, may throw ranch
light on the distribution of the natlr*
races among the Island groups ? Har
per's Weekly.
Finding Patiwts For Doctor*.
A curious occupation has sprung up
In Part*. Several doctor* have receiv
ed a circular from a newly formed
agency, which offers to find patients
for them. The fees are rather high
They vary from f20 to Jl'Ki. On *e
celpt of the fee the il<*~tor Is assured
a list of tweut.v consumptives, twenty
epileptics, twenty |>eople suffering
from cancer, and so forth, ne Is then
at liberty to call and offer his service*.
The agency's circular declares that the
lists of patients are compiled from
absolutely certain sources and that the
money will be returned if there are
more than three mistakes In ea?h list.
This Is rather a grim provlwj.

Trade At Home
II in a hard thing to convince lame people, who have acquired the
* mail order habit, that it it to their advantage to trade at home. The
greet fields far away appeal to them. so they fiend their money out of
town for something that is no better than can be found on the local
merchant's shelves. The money is thus gone where they, nor any one
of the community, will ever see it again, and where it ran do nobodv
good but the person who has it and he is hundreds or thousands of
miles away.
THE MAIL ORDER PEOPLE
are not the only offenders who are blind to the interests of the commu
nity. The merchants are just as bad. Many of them send away for
their printing, whi'e at the same time argue against mail ord^r husinesa.
