Ghost stories seem to be in the air The writer heard one tho other day that is too good to pass over. Not far from Charlotte in a rural district many years ago a gentleman was riding homeward one night after having been out all day. Between where he was and his home was an old church and graveyard. Many of the tombstones bad fallen. The church was still kept in repair and was used now and then ior services. But on the whole the place looked wild and ghoBt like. In fact nothing but tfte quaintness of it would ever draw anybody, except on preaching days. As this gentleman rode on a dark and fearful looking cloud arose. As it rolled and spread it grew darker and more threatening. Peals of thunder rolled deep aod loud to the riders left. The flashes ot lightenin licked from one edge of the cloud to the other. The leaves in the tree tops began to rustle and the night grew darker. The rider saw that he bad to stop or be iu an aw ful storm. The only place was the church which was a short distance away. He spurred his horse and made for the front of the long, old-time houee of wor ship. Fortunately the door was stand ing open. Tho traveller dismounted stripped his saddle from the horse and got in the church door. He held the horse by the bridle reins. Ths cloud came closer and grew darker as it came. All was dark. Nolhine to be seen except the white stones in the grave-yard that was near by. The Church was long and the pulpit, .which was tall and antique in style, was in the rear end. Soon after the stranger had landed in the door he heard a noise something like the tread of feet. But he did not look back. The pores ot his skin began to close up and his hair slight ly stiffened. But he braved the ghost like sound and watGhed tho storm. The enft nH crant.lA . ntfin came aerain. The ova w a-- - j- - sound was distinct and seemed to come from near the pulpit. Again our friend did not look back. But his hair stood straight and his heart beat loud and fast. The Bteps cacao nearer ana wuuer. could stand it no longer. It was too much for him. He glanced back with one eye over bis right shoulder. He saw it. His eyes became fixed. Never could he leave wnat ne naa cougut eiguii w. x looked like a woman with a long white robe on. It was tall and slender with black bair. The steps were slow but never ceasing. The storm was raging, the water was filling the streams; and all was dark as midnight But mo iravenwr no longer tboug-t oi tne munuer, mo lightening and the rain. His eyes, his mind and all were on the ghost. It grad Hally approached him. His legs trem bled and his heart beat the sides of his body. His hair was no longer hiis but it stood in the air. The ghost came slowly and turned not. The rider held his. eyes on t hft fiVure and reached for his saddle. v ' . , He caught the saddle Dacsea oui, auu it on the horse. His eyes were still on theghost, which had got almost to him. He threw the bridle-reins over the horse's neck and mounted just as he straddled his nag, which had already become fright ened at the strange person like figure, it jumped a i.strido too, and fastened its arms around the man's waist. Off they went the man and the ghost. The horse began to run like wild. The man pulled and tugged at the hands of the ghost but all to no avail. On they dashed through t the storm. The rain fell in torrents and the wind blew a hurricane. Trees were blown down; the streams were bounding and leaping with the over charge of wa ter; tences were down and crops were tossed about and the road was dark. But nothing slacked the speed of the fright ened horse and nothing aided the man to free himself from the death grip of, the But on thev went mile lifter mile, the horse jumping through ciie out against stale atid religion as he Sees it in curtain directions does not nxake him a patriot. Tho most danger ous men we can have today in America are those who wilt not accede to others the rights they themselves enjoy. Be longing to the American Protective asso ciation does not make patriots or Ameri cans, for in them you will find bigotry and hate. Every man ought to be an A. P. A. in spirit to protect the rights guar anteed to us. Again I say the true Am erican has dteper feeding and better principles than can bo -found in any so ciety.

I . A : n m. A I. .nat tf na l A political raiiai Xu, vunii io pniuu uy methods deceitful, too often, ropulari ty is no claim to patriotism. Tne worst elements of our cities and land forge to the front. They are not chosen because popular. It is the curse of our parties that the first question asked is, 'Can he make votes?' The greatest traitors in America have been the most popular. We cannot, we will not, then, accord to the mest popular the claim of truest Ameri canism. Is it in birth? I answer no. No difference where born, a man can be loy al and true to the land that breads him that protects him. The man then who has sworn eternal allegiance to America can be as loyal, as true, as the native, born. It was native Amerericans that fired on Sumpter. It was mostly foreign born that preserved us a nation. What then? I say it is in character; true, hon est, relifrioua character. I ho true Am toise and a hare which most ot us have detested from the days of early youth. The two creatures started a race, you re member, and the hare gained so long a lead that he reflected on the crime of over exertion and streched himself out for a nap. Meanwhile the tortoise exemplary creature slept not, but went steadily for ward and won the race. One's sympa thies incline, perhaps, toward the hare. There is surely much to be said in his be half. We feel, in these July days, that good sense is on his side. Yet the result was undeniably in favor of the tortoise, and we are forced to acknowledge that the hare, if he races again, must either persuade the tortoise to be sensible and sleep too, or ho must reserve his own nap ping until the finish of the course. Had his rival been not a tortoise, but a quick little sauirrel. for example, one .who could -more quite as fast as the hare, and erican wants to get the right conception I who had merely been delayed by a fond .

Founded upon the eternal principles of truth and justice, as enunciated by Jeeus Christ, it behooves us to consider our policy. Ii christian, then we ought to observe what belongs to a Christian na tion, "The desecration of our Sunday is a violation of our constituted rights, and no true American will ao it. into our political life carry our pies. Oh, we need a ness for darting from the path to explore the beauty of the wcodlonds, how much more disastrous would have been the' bares defeat! A man differs from a hare in several particulars, we grant. He is not bo graceful, and he is less liberally endowed with legs, but there is resemblance in this, when once he has put himself ahead be does liko to take a little rest. Verily, there is danger that while men are rest ing women will outstrip in the race for power. It is significant, if somewhat amusing, to note at the feast of suffrage Christian princis I questions the statement that women. revolution here. I powerless, is at present oppressed by man, WhaUa relegation of city aldermen and j sitting cheerily, cheek by jowl, with the officer would we have. Our early spir itual and Christian ife js founded on the religion of our Christ and bis teachings. A departure from it means a departure from Plymouth Rock and its masterful influences. Yes, the time is ripe when we return to tho true American pnncin pies in politics and religion. The itch ing ior otnee or greea for goia in position has noarly ruined us. The true AmerN can is far above party. It is patriotism we want; not - party. Party too often has its keynote in selfishness; patriotism in as broad and as unselfish as heaven. True patriotism, like true religion, seek eth not her own, but others. "Personally, I care not whero a man is born or what his party, but is he a man? We need protection, but is it that that protects our ins itutiont? The true American will protect, no matter where from. So here I stand tonight under the stara and strmes to plead for consiaera other statement that woman is the But nerinr hfiino-. Without diaCUSSing a question so delicate and so impossible as tne one arouBed by the Utter statement we may all perhaps agree that the mere fact, that the statement is made tn tones that are serious, not merely flattering, is interesting, because it indicates a distinct ly new situation. Such a statement would not have been uttered seriously by any one a half century ago. Progress is a word whose import varies with the listener and whose true meaning must, as; it seems, he beyond our grasp until we can learn the whole scheme ot creation. Whatever its final meaning may reveal itself to be, progress certainly implies change, and if we test the progress of the sexes by the .changes in the sexes as we lest the progress ot the race by the changes in the race, then women, are pro gressing more rapidly than man. There is moro difference between tne woman ox the "sum total" seema to trouble the aver age woman much less than the particular share in that sura which she, and perhaps her immediate family are to receive, and the fact remains that a constantly in creasing number of women are manifest ing their preference lor the "house-building" division of the 'bom emaking" labor. These women are working intelligently and with perseverance, and nolhiog but superiority, in workmanship wilt io tho end decide which sex is to be the provider aud which the distributor .of the houe-. hold necessities.' Success. is an absolute test of the fitness of a person to work. If women are displacing men as type writers it is because they meet better the requirements for typewriting. If they do not do such good work and still succeed, it is because such good work is not need ed and consequently will not be paid for. There are times when what we want is a carpenter, not a cabinet-maker. Many of the trades and professions are as yet practically untried by women. Wherever women have entered they are diligently straggling, knowing that only by strong endeavor can they hope to gain the field and feeling themselves conspicu ous in their struggle--. Men, thinking the field already their own and being some what less observed, are more frequeutly content to do somewhat leas than their best. Thus there is real danger lest, ia .i -. i. L . . i : i iuo struggle mat is uwgiuuiug, wu&b uiau has been pleased to call the "weaker res Bel" may prove itself to be made not only of material more beautiful than his own, as he has always gallantly declared, but of more durable substance as well, and the funny stories of the new woman-lawyer; with her baby tending husband, may come within another century to be living facts. Moreover, in such homes, obo is inclined to think that unless men feel an ambition in the new work that they seem losing in the old, the clients will be served more efficiently than the babies.
