A Story From Maine.

Fortunate it is that the days of be-
lief in witches are over. else the
stories now going the rounds of the
Maine papers might make it danger
Gus for somebody. The latest mar
vel thus far is a barn-door that
opens without hands. A Dexter
nan who drove into a door-yard in
Cambridge, after trying the barn
door and finding it fast hitched his
horse to the side of the barn. While
the nan was in the house the horse
broke loose and started for home.
but becoming frightened by some
men at work with q road machine
turned back and rushed for the barn,
the doors Of which obligingly opened
to let him in, closing behind him.
When the dozen men who witnessed
the affair reached the barn no one
was to be seen, and the door stuck
SO badly that it was opened with
difficulty.

A Novel Rat Trap.

A farmer living near Greensboro,
Ga, was much troubled by rats, and
their depredations on his corn crib
increased to an alarming extent. He
finally thought of q method by
which he could rid himself of them.
He secured a three gallon jar and
half filed it with water. On the top
of the water he placed a thick layer
of cotton seed. The seed, so he
argued. would attract the rats as a
pleasant place to play, and of course
the moment they touched the seed
down they would go. The trap
worked like a charm. The rats
came; they attempted the frolic act
on the seed with the deceptive
foundation, and, to use Mr.. Kilgore's
own words he "caught a gallon and
a half of rats the first night" run
ming the water to the top.

The conversations giving out;
There is an awful pause;
She sits and hens her handkerchief.
He sits and hens and haws.
He gazes on her h,ushing face,
He gazes on her feet,
Then in a whisper hoarse he says;
"Your sweet enough to eat"
She bushes Mt the compliment,
Although she murmurs "boshl.
He nearer draws his chair and adds,
"Yes, Jane, you are by gosh"
The handkerchief drops from Ter hand
She stoops, and so does he;
Their heads together come. She laughs
"How awkward, John, you be-"
Her cheek is brushing his, it is;
She does not draw it back;
He looks around and then bestows
On it a rousing smack.
She draws it back, now flaming red
A sight to look upon
And says, "You surely never did
DO that OF purpose, john
"Well, yes, I did" he answers her;
And with a fash of wit
He adds: 81 did, and more than that,

Their chairs are both together now;
Their eyes with JOY are bright;

Will not he hemmed tonight.
