Description
Excerpt: ?As public nuisances or private ones for that matter,? replied his friend. ?So long as they are content to behave as ghosts I am with them. When they begin to meddle with a state of existence that is outside their province to interfere in business matters and depreciate property to rattle chains, bang doors, ring bells, predict winners and to edit magazines and to attract attention instead of shunning it, I cease to believe. My sympathies are entirely with the sensible old fellow who was awakened in the middle of the night to find a shadowy form standing by the side of his bed and silently regarding him. For a few minutes the disturbed man waited patiently, expecting some awful communication, but the same profound silence was maintained. ?Well,? he remarked at length, ?if you have nothing to do, I have,? and turning over went to sleep again.
