Benton, Ind.July 26, Wearing a iong
white beard and robe and carrying a
huge club, a real ghost, eight feet high,
is abroad in Benton township, E khart
county. Night after night it bas been
seen tor ibe last week, ana nignt al

have fired at the fearful object with shot

ved by the fact that the shot whirled
harmlessly through the ghost and itdis
aDDeared only to reappear in a different
place, wavin 'its Ion white arms aid
shaking its club at pursuers.
It has been seen by hundreds, it ha
been fired at by terrified searching par
ties, and it has each time vanished and
then flashed its fearsome presence n an

Last Tuesday night it mad its first

A Feathered Criminal.
"I huppose' said a man wk had hpent
much of bis life in tbe woods, "that if we
knew more of wild animals we should
find iu them most of tbe qualities that
characterize human beings. I went up
to ArooBtook county, Me., early last year
to get the first of the sprmg fishing.
When the birds began to return I was
glad to see that eight or ten pairs of barn
swrllows, which had built under the
eaves of my cabin tbe year before, were
going to repair the old nests.
"They went at once to a little spring
about a mile away, where there was
some very sticky and tenacious mud.
They would fill their mouths at tbe spring
fly back to tbe. cabin, and plaster the lit-
tie wad ot mad on tne neit. i.ney woraea

"By tbe time tbe other birds came
