The scheme is the idea of Charles Dove, formerly a commercial traveller, but at present the proprietor of a diminutive report for re-
London. It seeins that this establishment, hardly big enough for a good-sized-man lo ur around in, is the meeting-plate of a club of English athletes, That is, the members if the club called themselves athletes, but their energies never look them beyond a perutal and discussion of the latest sporting news in
the morning and evening papers.
When Dove mentioded his plan to the. atbicles they took to it like ducks to water. Advertisemenis were sent to the Lendon papers, carrying the good news that any place could be rid of its spectral figures by the mere payment of a substantial fee. The "Death on Ghosts" brigade declare that they will use nó firearms, but will proceed to their work armed only with handy oak sticks. The society has received scores of applicatious for assistance. Although all the ghost warriors profess dis belief in ghosts it has been decided wise always to send two hunters to lay away a dis turbing spook.
