BROTHER GARDNER.
Ho Has Something to Say About
Ghosts.
"My frens," said Brother Gardner at
the last meeting of the Lime-Kiln club,
"dar am a heap o' talk gwine on jest
now about ghosts, and I have riz up to
say a few words. In de last week' bout
ten different members have come to nw
to ax if I believe in ghosts.
"Let --ie say dat I doea.
"I has seen 'em wid my own eyes.
"I has heard 'em groan.
"I has seen 'em float to and fro wid
eyes of fire."
A wave of sensation passed over th-e
members present as the president made
this acknowledgment. It was known
that he was going to speak on the sub
ject of ghosts, but it was believed that
he would deny their existence.
"I was only 'bout ten years old when
I saw my first echost," continued the
old man. "I had been sent to de stoh
wid a Jug arter 'lasses. I tarried around
de stoh for an hour and den started for
home Tr w a dark nitrht and a SOU1"
wind was blowin'. I heard a dawg howl
and mewl bray as I walked along. I
had made half de distance when a fig
ger riz up in front of me and gurgled
fit me.
"My blood run cold!
"My knees wobbled!
"My heart jumped into my mouf and
cold sweat run down my back!
"Befo' I could take out a nickel and
offer to buy dat ghost off a switch be
gan to fall on my shoulders, and it hit
me ten times a second for the next
twenty seconds. I was licked clear to
de door of de cabin, and I was licked
arter I got dar, and when I got ober
bein' licked I was so pale dat my mud
der was afeared I was gwine to turn
Into a white boy and not amount to
shucks.
"Some of de white folks who say dev
don't believe In ghosts have tried to
make me believe dat it was my fadaer
who met me on de road and played
spook, but dey can't fool me. V. hen
dar am a ghost around dar am a faint
perfume of lilac, and I smelt it dar dat
night.
"One 'ebbin' last month, as most of
ns know-, Brudder Jones na.i
a cutus dream. He dreamed dat an old
Indian man come to him and told him
to git up and walk up a sartin alley.
When he woke up and related de
dream to his wife she agreed wid him
that he orter go.
"He dressed hisself and set out. He
had gone two blocks and was keepin
his eyes open when he saw de doah of
a hen house open. He was about to
spring forward to investigate when a
ghost riz up befo' him. Dat's one good
thing about ghosts dey alius riz up
befo' Instead of behind you. Dis ghost
wa draped in a white sheet and ap
peared to be a woman. She stood dar
and pinted wid her long arm and whis
pered to Jones to skate back home, and
he was jest wise 'nuff to do it.
"Next day he found out dat de white
man who owned dat coop had set three
trap inside and prepared a torpedo,
end had he gone in dar to make de
acquaintance of de pullets he would
have been first catched and den blowed
Into a thousand pieces. Brudder Jones,
stand up and let de audience see you."
Brudder Jones arose and bowed right
and left and sat down, while a sort of a
.chill cantered up and down the hall.
When you are looking at a man who
, has seen a ghost you can't help but
feel a bit ehaky.
"I wa a young man of 22 when I saw
my recond ghost," continued Brother
Gardiner. "I was in lub wid a gal liv
ln' three miles away. I sot out one
moonlight night to go'n see her. I was
gwine along, whistiin' and singin' and
as happy as you please, when a white
Agger come walkin' out of de bresh
alongside de road. At first I thought it
was Kurnel Saunders' white cow, but
when I looked closer I knowed it for a
ghcfit. I was minded to take to my
heels and run, but de ghost smiled at
me. Dat gin me courage to ax why
Fhe was dar and what she wanted, and
she pinted down de road towards de
cabin whar my gal llbed, and shook
her head. Dat meant I was not to go
on. I took a step forward, but she
waved me back and contlnered to shake
her head.
"My frens, what would have happen
ed to me If I had not seen dat ghost?
I should have gone on to see dat gal
and ax her to be mine, and run up agin
e big buck nigger wid an ax. who was
Jealous of me and waltin' to cut me
down. Yes, sah, in fo'ty rods mo' he
would have jumped out and split my
head open."

The president had to wait three or
four minutes for the chills and shivers
and gasps to pass along, and then he
said:
'What happened to Waydown Bebee
one day last summer? Dar may be some
of you here dis evenin' who have not
heard of de case. He was lyin' on his
back on de bed in de evenin" to take a
rest. Der was fo' dawgs under de bed,
and five chill'en playin' around, and his
old woman was at de washtub. Way
down had located a watermillion patch
out in de kentry. He too"k it for a patch
donated to de worid at large by Mr,
Carnegie, and he meant to visit it dat
night, arter de moon went down, and
take a wheelbarrer along. Dat's de way
wid Brudder Bebee; when he hits a
good thing he prepares hisself to take
full advantage of de oceashun. He was
figgering on how many watermillyons
he could bring back, when a ghost riz
up out o' a dark corner of de room and
begun to make signs and moshuns.
"Dar am a gineral belief dat ghosts
nebber appear when dar am mo' dan
one person around. Dis am a mistake.
Dar was six pussons and fo' dawgs
right dar, and yit dat ghost riz right
up and purceeded to bizness. Brudder
Bebee am a leetle dull in de head, and
' it tOOk him aDOUt nve IIUIlULeo lu mane
! cut dat de ghost was warnin" him to
stay away from oat mniyon paitu. n
nodded his head to show dat he under
stood de warnin. and it disappeared.
Den he found hisself all of a cold sweat
and his hankerin' for watermillyon
gone. His wife got mad, andhlschUl'ea
cried bekase he wouldn't take de wheel
barrer and go arter de red-cored fruit.
But what would have happened if he
had' Brudder Bebee, stand up and let
'em see dat you am still a livin' man."
The brother stood up, and it was seen
that he was almost overcome with emo
tion. "I kin tell you what would have hap
pened. Dat was no Carnegie vrater
mlllyon patch. It belonged to a white
man who wanted all dat was comin to
him He had seen Brudder Bebee
squintin' frew de fence and was pre
pared for him. Dar was nine police
men stationed on de road, each one in
structed to break Mister Bcbees head
wid his club. Dar was seven bulldogs
scattered along, each one ready to take
hold of Mister Bebee and nebber let
go In de patch was nine b'ar-traps
and two men with shotguns, and if Mis
ter Bebee had started out on dat leetie
tour of his dar wouldn't have been
nuff of him left to fill a elprbox. He
would have gone but for de ghost
-As I said in de beginnin , dar am
ghosts.
I believe in 'em.
"Dey am sent to do us good.
"Dey prefer a cull'd pusson to a white
ebery time.
"Incourage 'em and dey will do you
good Tell at 'em and frow clubs and
drive 'em away and all your luck will
go wid 'em.
"I have much mo" to say on dis sub
ject but as de hour am late, we will
have to break de meetin' in two and
go home, and leave de rest for anoddel
time." (Copyright, 1906, by Home
Sprague.)
CAMPING OUT.
"When you catch me going into thP
woods again with a party of men on a
vacation vou will catch a weasel
asleep," said the hardware merchant
who had just told a female customer
that if she didn't like his washboards
she could go to pot.
A minute later he had cooled off
enough to resume:
"There w ere six of us, and we went
into the woods up-state with tents and
all equipments. We were to fish, hunt
and loaf, and so far as the other five
went thev looked to be strong, healthy
men. After a drive of thirteen miles
right into nowhere, we came to a pud
dle called a lake and pitched our tents.
Three of the five were too exhausted
to help any. and the other two played
out as soon as the tents were up.
Then I discovered that rupture, weak
heart, rheumatism, nervous prostra
tion and consumption were the ail
ments in camp.
"I had to gather and bring In all the
wood or we would have had no fires.
I had to do all the cooking or we
should have had nothing to eat. I had
to wash all the dishes or they would
have remained without washing. They
played It on me for fair. They fished
and loafed and lied, and I had to do all
the work. If any of them were called
on his ailment broke out afresh and
more than ten different times I was
asked to go twenty miles for a doctor.
I didn't go, however, but they did
throw all the work on my shoulders,
while they took all the comfort, and I

The sleeves were quite short and were
formed of two ruffles of the lace

around the lower part, and trimmed

ribbon.

"How did you do It?" was asked.
"Left the camp at dark and walked
all night through the woods and took
the train for home, and the five are
there yet, so far as I know. The man
who asks me to go camping next year
will get one on the nose right off,
and 1 wish the fact to be publshed far
and wide. Unless you've got spinal
complaint or St. Vitusi dance and can
throw everything onto the other fel

CHARGED FOR EXPERIENCE.
"I started out In life with a firm
resolve to be honest," said the Boston
drummer, "but now and then I have
bumped up against a situation that
shook my resolution.
Such a case happened while I was
in Texas last summer. I was stopping
at a village hotel called "The Cyclone
House," and had been in bed about two
hours when I found myself carried
across the country in the midst of
boards, beams and furniture. A cy
clone had come along and picked that
oia house un and made matchwood of
it. There were ten people killed and
twice that many injured. I had to lay
up with a farmer for a week, and then
resumed business.
"It never occurred to me until a
month later that I ought to have set
tled my hotel bill before denartine-.
The landlord had been one of the
killed, and the town about wiped out,
but so heavily did the thing prey on
my conscience that I made a trip of a
hundred miles to square things. I
found the landlord's widow, and she
was willing to take my word as to how
long I had been a guest when the cy
clone swooped down. I figured it un
and handed her the proper amount,
Dut sne seemed to have something on
her mind. When I told her to speak
out, she said:
" 'This settles the hotel bill all right,
but what about the experience?'
"'How do you mean, ma'am?"
" 'Why, hadn't there ought to be at
least a dollar more for your cyclone
experience?'
"I agreed with her. and handed her
the greenback, but the more I think
of It the more I am inclined to bellevs
that it was pushing an honest man a
little bit too hard." M. Quad.
The Hand That Rules the Stage.
The largest theatrical agency in this
country and probably In the world, is
curiously enough, run by a woman.
Her offices are just off Broadway, and
she has the proud distinction of know
ing more actors and actresses than any
living mortal. Her outer rooms are
forever filled by white-coated sou
brettes, lank "heavy" men. Kngllsh
tenors in tweeds, round, smooth-faced
comedians, and good-looking young
men in short blue coats who will play
anything from "juvenile leads" to the
barytone lover lieutenant in a comic
opera. As a rule they all know each
other, call each other by their first
names, and are as joyous as if they
were at an afternoon tea. To the cas
ual visitor the object of their presence
might never be known if it were not
for the very conspicuous sign which is
evident from all quarters of the room
"Leave your address." The agent
herself, who largely controls the des
tinies of the dramatic profession, sits
in a small office and answers to the
general and genial name of "mother."
In consideration of the fact that there
are some ten thousand actors in the
theatrical profession, not to mention
the many managers with whom she is
on equal terms of intimacy, her re
sponsibilities are large. She has seen
every play and every actor in the
country, and can tell you just about
what each player can do. Her list con
tains every kind of artist, from a cne
thousand dollar-a-week leading wo
man to many hundred soubrettes who
value their services at eighteen dollars.
She guarantees to supply any manager
with a complete company for any play
-tragedy, comedy, farce, problem or
musical comedy within twenty-four
hours after the order is given. A case
in point is that of a play which was
produced in New York on a Tuesday
night. The next day the manager
asked this agent to witness that night's
performance. On Thursday she was
asked to engage an entire company to
produce the play in London. The cast
was completed the same evening, put
in rehearsal on Friday and sailed Sat
urday morning. The Outing Maga
zine. Oak and Sflstletoe.
,A review- of the Outlook rebukes an
American writer for wondering wheth
er there is any "natural connection"
between the oak and the mistletoe, see
ing how- constantly they are associated.
"In Great Britain." says the reviewer,
"the oak is one of the trees on which
the mistletoe notoriously does not
grow." And it is true that the English
child learns in an early lesson of the
honor in which the Druids held a mis
tletoe that by rare chance did grow
on an oak. But the reviewed book, be
ing American, Is amply justified. The
hills that surround the Lick observa
tory, in California, and that bear its
domes on their highest summit, are en
tirely covered with oaks, and it is not
too much to say that every oak carries
-i bunch or bunches of mistletoe.
