ANNE BOLEYN'S GHOST

The Foot Guard Doing Sertrjr utySaid to Have Seen the GhotSv-er- y

Mght A Wnriiieof Death.

culo and suppress j hasbeen circulated niiAhroiigh the UnitedKingdom that theEon of unfr'unateAnno Boleyn hir been seen by the footguards doing sen-Ic- e at the towerevery night. Tae news has created greatexcitement,; 'aanost consternation, amongthe largeyOwnber of superstitious people,particularly of the lower classes. Accordingto an-a'- tradition, the appearance of Anne'Bolvn's ghost forebode3 the death of amottfa of the royal family, and it is whis-pered that this is not the first appearance9t the grewsome spook. Superstitious gos- -elpj maintain that ever since her terribledeath upon the scaffold the ghost of the un- -

lurzubaie queen naa htkuwhj ow... .- -t!

t guards at the tower on the eve of theieain ot some memoer 01 me iojiu uut.

Accounts of former appearances, embel-lished with all the blood-curdli- details,which the fertile imagination of supersti-tious gossips can invent, go from mouthto mouth, and so firmly do many peoplebelieve in the story that they actuallyspeculate which member of the royal fam-ily Is to be called away.

The belief in ghosts, whose appearance isan evil omen, usually foreshadowing deathor misfortune in the family in whose houseor castle they appear, is a very old one andnot by any means confined to England.During the dark middle ages, when feudal-ism ruled supreme in all European coun-tries and the powerful nobility stood prac-tically beyond the reach of the law, manya bloody deed was perpetrated by thefeudal lords and never avenged by the law.It was the confidence of the masses in thebelief that crimes, even if not avenged byhuman law, would surely be found out andpunished by the powers of heaven, whichgave rise to the superstition that murder-ers and other criminals, as well as theirvictims, could find no rest in their gravesas long as the murder; remained unavenged.

Every Castle Hoa Its Ghost.At that time nearly every castle had Us

ghost. Some of the latter were believed toappear every midnight and in their spec-

tral form act over the crime which theyhad committed in the flesh. Other ghostsvisited their old haunts only at special oc-

casions, usually on the eve of some deathor misfortune that was to occur In thefamily. In most cases the ghost was Iden-tified by the superstitious domestics as thatof a certain Individual, either some ances-tor of the family who had distinguishedhimself by his bloody misdeeds or someInnocent victim ot his brutal cruelty. Inother cases, however, the family ghostwas not Identified as that of some unfortu-nate or criminal ancestor. It was simplya ghost of a nondescript character, asmuch a part of the castle which it hauntedas tower or dungeon.

Germany, the cradle of romanticism, istu'J of haunted castles, and many traditionshave been preserved in poetical form. Notonly the castles of the numerous royal andducal families have their ghosts, but threis scarcely an old noble family in the empireMat cannot coast 01 some

spook whose shadowy existence isfirmly believed in at least by the. serv-ants.

The prosaic and military spirit of thePrussian kings of the house of Hohenzol-ler- n

did not tolerate any spooks, and. pincethe time of Frederick the Great no ghost ofany description has been seen in the castleof the royal family. Even before that

of ghosts in the royal castleswere few and far between, although thefounders of the house were probably notmuch better than those of other feudalhouses of the buccaneer type.

Austria's White Lady."The Austrian house of Hapsburg, since

Rudolph of Hapsburg, the ruling one of thoAustrian monarchy, has always been fa-

vored by ghosts. The famous White Lady,immortalized by many patriotic poets ofthat country, has for several centuriesmaintained her exclusive position as thefamily ghost of the imperial house. Ac-cording to popular traditions the WhiteLady is some guardian spirit. Intimatelyconnected with the fate of the imperialfamily. She appears whenever It Is neces-sary to warn the family, and never failedto foreshadow the death of members of theimperial house. According to the popularbelief the White Lady made her last ap-pearance when she .walked through thecorridors of the "Hofburg" on the eve ofthe death of Joseph II. During the lastfew years of Crown Prince Rudolph's lifethe euards dointr sentry service in the

-- Hofburg claimed to have seen the WhiteLady several times in the wing of thecastle inhabited by the prince.

It Is a characteristic fact that all the folkkJore about the apparition ot ghosts clings tothe Kremlin, Moscow's venerable and ro-mantic palace, while the Winter palace, thepresent residence of the czar, never figuredto any extent In the ghost lore of the super-stitious people. It Is said that a spectralfigure In white was seen gliding through thecorridors of the Winter palace In the nightbefore, the terrible death of the father ofthe present czar, but the story was evi-dently put In circulation after the nihilisticcrime which cost Nicholas his life.

The tragical fate of Anne Boleyn was welladapted to 'arouse the sympathies of the.English people, and In later years the figureof the beautiful and unfortunate queen

surrounded with an aureole of poeticalfiction. The people never believed In herguilt, and considered her death upon thescaffold as martyrdom. No wonder, there-fore, that the report of the appearance ofthe ghost of King Henry's Innocent victimfound general credence ampng the super-stitious.

He 'did not love Catherine,who was devoid of all charms of beauty,and treated her coldly because she haddisappointed him by bearing him a daugh-ter Instead of a son. When his relations toCharles V. became strained and he nolonger considered himself bound by polit-ical .considerations he made an to ridhimself of his spouse.

THF'FRlcNDSHIPS of women.

Thr rfaually Expect Too Much ofEach Other Character- -

iiitlca.&a the New Torfc TlE:e. to

'X have become so dissatisfied with sonany people lately," the younger woman

AllJ.vas saying, "that I am almost afraid thatI am a pessimist. I meet women with thewhom I am charmed and I cultivate theiracquaintance only to find in a short timethat there is .something about this onethat I do not like and another thing byabout that one, until I am not only dis-

pleased with them, but with myself. Itseems to me that I must be disagreeablycritical and fastidious. I think I couldcount the people tho women whom Icare to call my friends upon my lingers."

"And if then they would cover the tenfingers of your two hands I should saythat you were cosmopolitan in yourtastes," returned the older woman withdecision. I find that as I grow older thoword friendship means more and more tome, and I become more and more fastidi-ous, as you call It."

"But it Is not that alone." went on theyounger woman, almost hesitatingly. ln"When I have thought I liked a womanvery much and then find I am disappointedin her I fairly dislike her, and I dislikeher almost In proportion to my liking forher In the first place. It seems to showsuch an unpleasant disposition. I am sureyou can't understand It."

"Yes I can exactly," said the older wom-an. "You are only learning what we all ofus have to learn in time. You are learningthat people who make real and satisfac-tory friends are hard to find. Tou try tomake friends of people who would beagreeable to you as acquaintances. Youhave admitted them too far into your finerreserve and are proportionately displeasedwhen you find that they strike wrongchords. One can have acquaintances ga-lore, and It is very pleasant to have them,but friends? Ah, that is a different mat-ter.

"Did you ever hear the story of theFrenchman and the lady of whom he wasenamored? He had asked her to marryhim, but she refused. 'I cannot marryyou," she said, 'but I will be your friend.'

"My friend? No,' answered the French-man; "I love you and would marry you,but my friend? No, I do not know you Lwell enough.'

"I am more and more impressed everyyear with the difficulty and almost impos-pibli- ty

of making real friends. The troubleis we all are human. We begin when weare young and enthusiastic with warmfriendships, and we expect perfection inone thing, we accuse them of being want-ing in all: we give them up altogether.And gradually, with heavy hearts, we findthat the lists of our friends have becomeattenuated. By that time, however, womay have learned one lesson of the

of the world, and if we cansome of our old friends, taking

them for the good that is Id them, tolerat-ing the bad, knowing that they must dothe same with us, we are doing well. Andwe must make acquaintances serve a longapprenticeship before we admit them tothe ranks of our friends.

"It 13 the greatest comfort In the worldto tell your troubles to some sympathiz-ing friend, but It Is dangerous. There aremany things about family life that shouldbe kept In the family. They do not Involveyou alone. Read Maeterlinck's essay onsilence in the "Treasury of the Humble."It will give you food for thought. Per-haps one should ba more careful of anyother person's secret than of their own.but can they be blamed If they are not?There was a common little rhyme that Iclipped from a paper a long time ago,which Is addressed to the man who tellshis own secrets. One verse is worth remembering:

If you yourself can't Veep it.Then rho can?

Could more expect of anyOther man?

Yet you pat him. If he tells ItIf he gives away or sells it

Tnder ban."It Is all true. We can't keep our own

secrets, and we scorn the people who tellwhat we have told then. It Is hard, evenafter we have learned the lesson, not tolook for perfection In our friends, thoughwe should know by our intimate acquaint-ance with ourselves and own good almsthat we look for an impossibility."

"But Isn't there some rule of guidanceIn choosing friends or the people withwhom we will "be more or less Intimate?"asked the young woman after a pause.

"That Is a large question." replied theolder woman thoughtfully, "and one eachperson must answer Individually, but I cantell you a rule which I have found for my-self. You have always found that the rockupon which the Intimacies you. have hadwith some people have foundered has beenmade up of comparatively small things,haven't you? There may have been a fun-damental cause for the formation of therock, but In itself it was nothing great.Wasn't that so?"

"Yes, indeed, replied the young woman,eagerly, "and that is why I have b;en somuch annoyed with myself. There havenever been great moral or .mental prob-lems; It has always been some small thing.some utile iacK 01 rennement

"Ah. that Is It," broke In the other wom-an. "Refinement! There you have It allIn a nutshell. That Is the rule by which Igauge the women with whom I desire tobe to some degree intimately acquainted.True refinement is more than superficial.

"Artists say that the true test of femi-nine beauty Is refinement. I believe thatIs the true test of women's lives.

"You may know brilliant women In thisline and that, charming women in one lineor another, but be sure that tho womanwhom you take for a friend Is thoroughlyrefined, and while we never find perfec-tion In any way. such a woman will notbe a disappointment as a friend."

WHO WAS EXPERIENCE?

Question Perplexed the Citizens ofOak Park, lint AVas Easily

Answered.From the Chicago Times-Heral-

Citizens of Oak Park have been quitestirred up lately by a mysterious legendthat appears on the barn of John Far-so- n,

one of its millionaire residents. Thebarn is one of the new circular buildingsof modern pattern, such as might be ex-pected as a companion piece to a newhouse of great elegance, and tho writingon the wall took the shape of this an- -'

nouncement:

THE HOME OF EXPERIENCE. :

"Who was Experience?" was the questionthat exercised the curiosity of everybodywho read that sign. At last a delegationof citizens waited on Mr. Farson, and afterdelicately feeling their way, informed himof their mission and flatly propounded theconundrum, "Who is Experience?"

There was a good laugh all around whenMr. Farson answered In his customarygenial way:

"Experience? Why, she's our cow."
