NASBY'9 GHOST.
One of the moat amusing incidents
connected with Nasby occurred just
after his doath. It has been kept out
of the newspapers up to this time, but
the story is too pood to lose. Nasby
was a great favorito in Toledo, and
when he died his funeral was a large
one. There were hundreds of car-
i .u^es and bushels of flowers! After
the funeral the body wns placed for
Hjme days prior to its final burial in a
a large vault in tho cemetory. Now,
it happened that on tho samo day that
the funeral of the great humorist took
place Toledo had unother big ceremony
of th<- r-nme nature. Tho deceased in
the latter case was one of tho most
loved society ladies of the city, and the
flowors hare wero also numerous and
beautiful.
This lndy was also put in the same
vault with Nasby. nnd tho floral offer-
ings were carried out nnd placed on
hor coftln. After the ceremony was
over, as often occurs in such eases,
the family of tho lady wonted to pre-
serve photographs of these floral
pieces, and they ordered their Irish
servant to go to the vault and bring
the fiowers into tho photograph gal
lory. Now l'atrick Murphy—for so I
will c all the man for short—had a holy
horror of cemetcries. Ho was very
superstitious, nnd ho approached tho
vault, with fear and trembling. He
gradually jjot to the door, howover.
nnd found it open. Ho looked in ami
then gave a terrible shriek, dropped
his hat and ran as if the devil was
after him. lie did not stop running
until he camo to a factory a long dis-
tanco from the cemetery. Hero he
was stopped by a crowd of workmen,
who demanded what was tho matter.
All breathless ho told them that
Nasby had either been buried alive or
that his ghost had broken off the top
of the cotlin. and ho was sitting up in
it. The workmen laughed at him nnd
cnlled him a fool. He persisted in his
story, and they finally docided to go
and see. After much pursuasion they
succeeded in dragging tho Irishman
back with them and finally reached the
door Of the vault. They looked in nnd
found that the Irishman had told the
truth. Tho body, in its grave clothes,
was half out of the coffin, but it was
not alone, as when the man first saw
it. A sculptor stood bolide it, and he
was taking, with plaster of paris. a
death mask for a bust which had boon
ordered by tho family. He had ar-
ranged the body for his work and hnd
gone to get his tools when Patrick
camo on the sc*ne and imagined he
saw a ghost. I don't won dor he was

The late Frank Ives Frayne of tho
blood and thunder drama had a won-
derful knack In managing tho animals
that ap;.oared on the stage with him.
To inquirers who wondered how he
did it he always replied that tho 6c7rot
lay in his coolness in time of danger and
in his presence of mind. Ho called it
"nerve." But there was some\hing
else in Fray no besidoi nerve. His an-
imals wero always in his thoughts, and
while ho ruled them with a rod of iron
they obeyed him because he instinct-
ively knew when to he hard and when
to be gentle. In summer, on his larm
near Madison, N. J , ho had many of
his wild animals tied to tho posts of
tho board fenco. Any pleasant day
Frayne might be seen walking along
the fenco petting or feeding two or
three bears, some monkeys and hyenas,
and other members of his curious hap-
py family strung at intervals in front
of the house. Frayne was very proud
of Old Puke, or Bob Ingersoll, as his
stage KinUe went, the lion that killod
his Clydesdale stallion four years ago.
It was Frayne's habit to carry in his
pocket pictures of Old Duke, which he
gave to his friends at the conclusion
of a story how Old Duke had killed
three men at one blow oach with hu
paw. The story was foundod on fact.
Frayne had photographs also of Old
Duke lying down with a bantam lien
perching on his mane. Tho hen and
lion wore friends for several years.
No one but Frayne had ever been able
to conquor Old Duke.

The last winter months and the spring
months passed very quietly at Hazlc

neico dined occasionally with the best
families in the neighborhood, and in
return the Talb rts asked the bo*t fami-

died away. Kvery one of cotir e felt
sure that he was somebody, but no one
knew what body. If there was any
