L E W I S ’ G H O S TAway buck, when the big Mammoth

cave in Kentucky \v:is discovered, the first man to explore it« depths and who vvuh known as the first guide to the cave was u slave nuutad Lewis. One day it wus rumored that there were two entrances to the cave. This meant that the receipts from visitors would be divided, as the two entrances were on different estate*. The man who owned the one entrance, the lund on which it wan :yul the guide I^ewla was quietly told one day by the old uiaii that he had discovered the second entrance to the cave. Lewis’ owner at once told him lie would give him his freedom if he would show him and an­other man the second mouth to the cave.

Lewis agreed to do the job. One morning the slave entered the mouth o f the cave—the present entrail . by the way. The arrangement was lhat the owner and another mail were to re­main on. guard and see that the old slave did not come out the way he had gone In. Ten hours later old Lewis proved thut there wus another en­trance to the cave. Lie had used it us an exit und come to his owner over the hills. Thut night three men are said to have silently effaced this entrance, and. although it is known in H e neigh­borhood of the Mammoth cave that it did exist, no nuiu has u> this day been able to find it, so there is only one en­trance to the wonderful cave.

Years rolled on. Lewis died. He was made free, but he would not leave the cave. He explored it fully and knew more of its mysteries und beauties than any other soul. Then he was buried in the old cemetery up near the hotel.

Now for the ghost story. A new man­ager took hold o f tin* cave and the ho­tel there. He heard about old Lewis and bis wonderful history.* So he eon-

IlKled it would be u good idea to dig up the oid follow’s bones, rein ter them atthe mouth o f the cave and erect n tall whit • marble monument over them su- ennl to the memory o f the first guide tothe olive.

When the old man s grave wAs open­ed. the negroes down there say. his widow went down Into the pit and gut bored up the fragments o f bone and placed them in the new eotfin. Then they were placed In the new grave at the mouth of the cave, and the monu­ment was erected over them.

Oue night in the summer a few years ago a party o f men and women, six lu number, came out of the cave at 9

o’clock. They lookisl at the big monu­ment and talked about old Lewis. Then they told the guide to go on to the ho­tel. They were in no hurry and would loiter about the mouth o f the cave. An hour and a half Inter they started to go to the hotel.

Tli fy had gone but a few steps when, a few yards in front, they saw a man. Tic* was dresses!,In u white shirt and dark trousers and wore no hat. One of the men remarked casually that the guide laid been loafing round near them, and lie steppes! forward to ask the man why lie had not gone to the hotel when told to do so. As he left the par­ty and moved toward the man the lat­ter suddenly turned and faced him. He saw in an instant that it was not the guide, and he asked the man what he wanted. 'There was no reply, and In an instant the figure had vanished.

The man returned to his party and was laughed at when he told his story. Then the men and women went to the hotel. They found that their guide had been asleep for over an hour. Then they were puzzled. No other person had been near the cave, and nobody could explain the peculiar occurrence.

Next day the affair was discussed. A party was made up of men who agreed to go to the cave and see If The affair was repeated. They sat on the ground near the monument until 11 o’clock, when one of them grouped liU nearest neighbor's arm and whispered. *‘ l>o you see that man?” at the same time pointing to a thick part of the wood near. All the men looked and saw the figure of the night before. It was float­ing by. the group, and In an instant each man sprang to his feet. One of the men drew a revolver and shouted:

“ I f you do not stop and tell us who you are Instantly I w ill shoot you! 1 give you fair warning.”

There was no response. The man took aim and fired. He discharged the five chambers o f his revolver, and then the party rushed to the spot where the figure had been seen. There was no­body in sight, and after scouting the woods in every direction the men stori­ed toward the hotel.

Then the story came out The col oreef people heard of it. They said that old Lewis wasn’t resting easily in his new grave. Several o f the lie ~ • super­stitious left the cave and cou*U not be persuaded to come back. Many uion and women saw the figure», and to this day they all know they saw a ghost.

Soon after this the ghost story be­came so widespread that the manager of tli? cave took an Interest Ui it. Hr

“The money to pay the men is made by auctioneering off to the highest bid­der the crops of fruit trees that were planted on both sides of the 'highway when It was built and which was nour­ished well by the manure that falls along the road and is pushed at inter­vals by the road tender upon their roots. The purchaser o f the crop sees to it that his fruit is not stolen. The road commissioners have no bother about that. And although the sale lie by auction it brings in considerable. Every burgher knows how much, be­cause the sales of highway fruit crops are published in the local newspapers.”

F. II. Hitchcock, chief o f the bureauof foreign market«, gave an Interesting address at the North Dakota good roads convention. The subject o f trans­portation Is one of the most Important matters that have to be considered by Mr. Hitchcock’s bureau, and I11 the course of his remarks he stated thut it was of as much interest to his depart­ment to have the east of transportation between the farm and town reduced 10 a minimum as It was to reduce the cost to the coast or from Boston to Liver­pool.

Poor roads from the fnrm to the mar­ket figure in foreign competition, and it is a known fact that taking the aver­age haul of ten miles to market at 23 cents per ton per mile, the cost being $2.f>0, the amount Is twice that charged for transporting the « lin e produce from Boston to Liverpool. Thirty years ago It cost 30 cents for transporting wheat from Chicago to New York, while it now costs 0 cents, and where It former­ly cost $10 from New York to Liver­pool it now costs $1.50.

The cost of transportation has been reduced very materially In every way except from the farm to the market, which still remains the name as thirty years ago, and ail because of unim­proved roads.

There wus a time once whea the | common nettle w in not the usually de- i splsed weed it Is now. People did not

root it out o f existence or shun It as a : nuisance, but cultivated It for use as I food, for clothing and for paper manu- I fact 11 re.

It certainly does not look Inviting as a food, and yet during the Irish famine hundreds of poor people existed entire­ly on it, cooking the young plant as greens. There was a method o f blanch­ing It. by “ e:i«thing up,” as Is now used for sea kale.

Animals, while refusing to touch the growing nettle, devour It eagerly when made Into hay, and in Russia, Sweden and Holland it is mowed several times a year for fodder.

The common name given to the nettle In some languages means “ that with which one sews,” for the fiber was used as a thread several centuries ago.

In Kamchatka the natives use the thread for fishing lines and cordage. In France It is used for paper. In Hindu­stan and China it is woven into grass cloth, and the Scotch have prepared, spun and woven it Into as good linen as the flax makes.

The Chinese nettle yields a fiber as soft as silk, and there is now In Dres­den a “ China grass” manufactory de­voted to the Industry o f weaving cloth from tliN and tin* common nettle.— Stray Stories.

Eight months ago I was § o ill that I was compelled to lie or ait down nearly ail the time. My stomach was so weak and upnet that I could keep nothing on it and I vomited frequently. 1 could not urinate without great piin a d I couched ao much that my throat and lungs were raw and loro. The doctors pro­nounced it Bright's disease and others »aid it was consumption. It mattered little to me what they called it and I had no de­sire to live. A sister visited mo from St. Louis and asked me if I had ever tried Wine of Cordui.I told her I had not and she bough* a bottle. I believe that it saved my life. I believe many women could save much suffer­ing if they but knew of its valus.

Don’t you want freedom from pain? Take Wins of Cardni and make one supreme effort to be well. You do not need to be a weak, helpless sufferer. You can have a woman's health and do a woman’s work in life. Why not secure a bottle of Wine of Cardui from your druggist to­

day?
