OUR BOYS.
A Box Telephone.

If you have playmate that you would
like to keep within talking distance, or if
you wish to put into telephone connection
the various parts of your home grounds, you
can easily do so with homemade apparatus,
requiring no magnets or batteries.
Take as many pairs Of cigar boxes as you
want stations, and bore in each box, In the
middle OF the bottom, a half-inch hole. Then
buy enough common stovepipe wire to con-
meet your stations make loop In each end
OF the wire, slip 1t through the hole in the
cigar box. and fasten 1t with nail. Draw
the wire tight between the two boxes and
support the wire by cords attached to trees
or other objects. If the reach is SO long that
the wire will droop to the ground.
The boxes may be supported by Stats
nailed across window. and the wire passed
through hole In the glass, If you wish to
have the telephone indoors.
Simple telephones of this sort are used
with perfect success with lines several hun
bred yards long. Often a well-waxed cord
will answer, instead of wire, but Of course
will not stand the weather so well.

wEBBs MILLS EXCITED OVER A REVENGE
Full STRANGER.
A considerable interest not to say excite.
ment has been caused by the appearance of
strange, mysteriously acting man in this
vicinity. About week ago a stranger,
about 80 years old, and of light complexion,
was found to be living in Deacon Richard
Mayberry's barn. The fellow occasionally
visited the post Office at Casco village, and
manifested much interest in the Portland
daily papers. which for some reason he
seemed very eager to obtain. He INQUIRED
for some Boston daily, and when told that
there was none in the Office, he sent to
Boston for one. 1t came to the office direct
ed to n. +. Allen" Deacon Mayberry
ordered the man out of his barn but he re.
fused to go. Quite combat in words fol.
lowed. Later, Mr.. William Scribner, one of
the neighbors, went to the barn with some
food for the stranger. He found upon en-
teringlthe barn that the man had disap-
peared, There was posted in conspicuous
place, however, piece of paper, upon
which was drawn with lead pencil skull
and bones and coffin. In good hand
were written above the skull the following
words:
