Nature has not endowed every one (with good looks, but she has been more prodigal in distributing her fa vors than is generally realized. Beauty, like intellect, needs careful cultivation and culture, long right lines. Is as beneficial to personal ap pearance as mental culture Is to the jnlnd.

I Columbus, Hid.—In Last Columbus, a suburb, there was once a race track and the clubhouse, which was near the track, still stands. Until recently the clubhouse was oc ' cupied by a family, but now it is va cant and some of the people who live in the neighborhood believe that it is haunted. They say that although the windows may be bolted tight at night, the same windows will be found open the next morning, with all the doors locked. Strange noises are heard in the house at all times of the night, and it is said that a light is seen moving f/ ■('R ê 1 —0 i ****** Comes Back at Midnight to Search for the Ten-Dollar Bill. from room to room. A few nights ago a party of venturesome young men first inspected the house, and saw that all windows were tightly locked. They hid in a neighboring shed to watch, but saw nothing after a wait of several hours, and then decided t® go home One of them suggested a closer in spection of the building before they left the scene, and when they ap proached the house they found that every window was unlocked and wide open The boys fled for home. Attorney Roy W. Emlg of this city, who was reading clerk in the senate at the last session of the Indiana leg islature, used to live in the clubhouse, and he intimates that there is some foundation for the ghost stories. Emig says several years ago one of the rooms in the building was used as a barroom and that gambling was fre quent. One night, according to the story, a drunken brawl broke out during a hieronymous game and a man was shot just as he was putting a ten dollar bill on the deuce. According to Emig's story, the ghost of that man comes back to the club house every night at midnight to search for the ten-dollar bill, which was dropped the night he was shot and killed. BARTENDER AS AN AUTOCRAT In the Philippines the Drink Mixer Is a Personage of Some Con sequence. In the olden days, the city of the Don, every merchant in the islands was at times his own money maker. If he was short of rash to meet a pressing demand, he simply sent his "chit" (an American expression), called in Spanish a vale, which was nothing more nor less than a penciled I. O. II., to his neighbor for any sum from one peso up into the thousands. However, much to our discredit, Americans as a rule so much abused the "chit" system that this crude form of currency is now rarely accepted, excepting at bars and restaurants. Re ferring to barrooms, one naturally re calls the American bartender as he is 'In the Islands. There he is very much an autocrat; and, like the Span iard, he will not wet or soil his jew eled hands. An unsavory calling here tat home, It is a dignified one In Ma jnlla.

Most of (biz time Is spent hobnobbing with the {customers, especially with the mon eyed ones. He takes a drink every 'time anyone else does, not forgetting !to order a round on the house perk odlcally. He Is a sort of walking fioor (manager, a jovial host, and an all .round good fellow.
