SIMIAN SPIRIT.
Ghost Which Dapopulatsd * Town
Was a Monksy.
The "ghost" which has entirely de
populated Highland, Kv., has been
found. It Is a small monkey that es
caped from the Cincinnati zoo five
mouths ago. For four months resi
dents In the vicinity of Highland cem
etery were mystified by a phenomenon

they attributed to the spirits of the
dead. I: was the ringing of the t>cl!
lu the cvuietery tower ever>' nigh!. al
ways after midnight. but watchers
never found any trace of tlie gh:??t In
the tower. The door always was . not
ed. and there was no rope dangling
from the bolt.
One by one the residents were scared
away until the entire town was de
populated. The monkey had climbed
up the side of the tower by growing
vines and ciade his home In the cupo
la where the bell hangs.
A BREAKFAST TRAGEDY.
6ad Tale of a Man, a Maid and a
Thr?o-year-old Egg.
While Robert Bauer <f% Chester. Pa.,
was removing the shell froui an egg
that ho had for breakfast a few days
ago he noticed the following Inscrip
tion written with an indelible lead
pencil: "Write to Panllne Respern,
Wheeling, W. Va."
Bauer wrote, aa directed, and recelr
ed a handsome souvenir postcard sign
ed Pauline Respern, and this was the
legend on the card: "Mr. Bauer, I had
about given up ever hearing from that
egg on which I wrote my name. It
was sent away over three yara ago,
when my father had a farm and I
used to pack eggs for shipment"
Mr. Bauer says he will never eat
another egg. "The idea of a man eat
ing eggs that are three years old! And
the fellow who sold them to us gave
his word that they were Just In from
the country and were strictly fresh,"
Is hts Indignant comment.
Muny people can make money, but
the most desirable thing seems to be
to be able to make money and to bang
ou to It.
Poets are bora, not made, and, as a
general thing, they are tolerated, not
paid.
THE NORTHERN LIGHT
Toe sixth grade geography class is
taking up the study of Canada and
other countries north of the United
States
The handsome launch FLORENCE
will be launched soon.
The NORTHERN LIGHT is In re
ceipt of a challenge to a basketball
game directed to the boys of the class
of 190S. The members of the chal
lenge team are George Black, John
Dortero, Ernest Richter, Charley Ra
pvzzi, and William Ward. Th? only
specification in the challenge is that
the game be played at the convenience
of 1908. Needless to say, we predict
that the challenge will be accepted in
short order, and that the boys of the
class of 1908 will add another scalp to
their large and ohoioe selection. In
the meantime it behooves the girls of
the olaaa? and in fact ail members of
the achool? to get their yell) in work
ing order as the oasketball team ex
pects to make the fur fly from the first
blast of the whistle.
The sixth grade arithmetic has
reached the point where it feels com
petent to take up that old-time terror
"decimals".
The graduating class met yesterday
afternoon for the purpose of bearing
tbe reports of the committees that
wort to see about class caps and colors.
Tbe clan decided o^ red and white for
colors, and as soon as the new catalogs
are received they will send for their
oaps.
The school board seems to have lost
Interest in us, for they have v sited us
very Httie this year. Ditto parents.
BASKETBALL
At the morning game yesterday the
Wild Cats won an easy victory over (he
Socc-ra, eight to three. One point was
?warded to each side because of rough
play by opponents. Line-up:
Wild Cats (8) Soccers (3)
F. Doree Right Forward Kossuth
Haslett Left Forward Rapuzzi
Dillon Center S. Stinebaugh
W.Boone Right Guard G. Matthews
A. Boone Left Guard Wolff
Field goals: W. Boone 1, Doree 2.
Free goals: W. Boone 1, Kossuth 2.
At the afternoon recess the Tigers
defeated the Ci>bs three to nothing.
The scoring was done in the first min
ute of play.
After achool two games were played.
The Firat, between some boys from
Mra. Rosenberg's room and the smaller
boys from Miss Doerrer's room, was full
of interest to the spectators. Alt tbe
players were new to the came, but
after their first shyness wore off they
played with a vim delightful to see.
The fact th?t in the excitement thoy
sometimes forgot which basket to throw
at only added to the speotato's' enjoy
ment Tho loam mado up of George
Dillon, Willie Flynn, Geoige Rapuzzl,
Wade Olsen, and Hazen McKay made
three points; whi'e tho other team,
made ud of Arthur McKay, Edwin Lld
dicoat, Harold Muivihill, Emerson
Rogeas, and Edwin Matthews, failed to
score.
The last game, between the Soccers
and the Wild Cats (reinforced by three
members of tho class of 1908), was
hard fought from beginniog to end.
At times the rough play brought forth
warnings from the referee. The Wild
Cats lost because of their inability to
hit the basket. The Soccers were par
ticularly good in this respect; they also
guarded closely. They failed to run up
a large score only because of failure on
free throws, getting the ball in the
basket only four time in seventeen
trials. Line-up:
Wild Cats (12) Soccers (17)
P. Doree Right Forward Kossuth
Achisoo Left Forward Ripuzzl
Baker Center 8. Stinebaugh
A. Boons Right Guard Wolff
Haslett Left Guard G. Matthews
Field goals: Achison 4, Kossuth 4,
Rapuzzi 2. Free goa's: Achison 2, Bak
er 2, KosJuth4._ Points awarded: Soc
cers 1.
The seventh grade arithmetic is hav
ing a series of daily tests to encourage
accuracy of work, A problem is given

made that yesterday seven out of nine
teen scored a hundred on the following
problem: Find the amount of $64.20
for five years three months fourteen
days at twe'vc per cent.
Mr. Samuel Lin<l returned on the
Princess May from California, where
he has been the last few months.
Valentine boxes are the order of tbe
day at school.
The hl^h school arithmetic class will
begin the study of percentage Monday.
By the way, do you notice that the
challenging basketball team is compos
t d of our old comrudfs. For that reason
the NORTHERN LIGHT refuses to
call tbem by the undignified name they
have chosen for themselves.
Mr. Telford asks that all teams ex*
pcctlng to play basketball at the school
bouse tomorrow afternoon report to
him through their captains some time
today.
Tbe next of the illustrated lectures
given under the auspices of the Presby
terian Sunday School will occur next
week, probably Monday night. The
subject will be "The Passion Play of
Oberamergau."
The zoology class will dissect a fish
today. This is Iheir second dissection.
As this is the end of the sixth school
month, all pupils who have been neither
absent nor tardy the past month will be
excused at the afternoon recesses.
