The Cape Elizabeth Electric Road.

Work is to begin in the vicinity OF
Knightville, though work on the Gross
street end may be started as soon as nee
essary permission to cross the Boston
and Maine tracks is received from the
railroad commissioners. 1t is not the
intention to build the road beyond
Simonton's Cove this summer. The
road will run through Willard and down
to the beach, where the company has
purchased land with the intention of
erecting dancing pavilion at the term
ius OF the road. Eventually the road will
extend to the Two Lights, but it will
not be an easy matter to construct a
track over the lodges beyond Willard.
Probably the road will have to be raised
above the grade of the street.

OF the promoters of the road, and SUI

Last week Strawberries were selling In

week they have been down to two quarts
for 25 cents. Wednesday the dealers
bought them for 10 cents, and It will not

The ancients did not know anything
about the strawberry. II was not culti-

And the bishop, undoubtedly pleased at
the compliment to his garden, replied.
Marry, and will, my lord, with all
my heart"
IN henry v. there Is an interesting
suggestion as to how they were cultivated
in the early day, as he makes the bishop
say:

ROUNDED UP BY A TURTLE.
Manuel Silva's Why of Getting Rid of
WOOdchucks i'm n Glover Field.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
Bristol r. MANUEL Silva is a Portu-
guese farmer living two miles to the north
of Mount Hope. One of his best clover
fields has been almost ruined this season
by woodchucks. Silva resorted to all the
tricks Yankees know to kill off the de-
structive borrowers. and made it so hot for
them that. although he failed to get rid of
Them he drove them into one corner of the
field The Rhode Island woodchuck has
usually two or three means of exit from
its burrow, but Farmer Manuel's wood
chucks fortified themselves with more
than a dozen. and constructed so elabo-
rate system of galleries as to defy further
attack by ordinary methods.
Then he happened to think of an artifice
often resorted to in his native country
under somewhat similar circumstances
He procured a speckled turtle from
swamp at the back of his house, three
bull terriers, some coarse candle wick
and bottle of kerosene Then he placed
large fiat stones over all the holes, leading
to the woodchucks home save four. He
stationed a dog at each of the three holes
and at the fourth he proceeded to operate
with his turtle.
Boring a hole through the rim of the tur-
ties shell, he fastened one end of the can
die wicking into it, About twenty feet of
wicking was left to trail behind and the
remainder of the wicking was formed into
a compact ball. The wicking had pre-
yiously been saturated with kerosene.
Silva put the turtle into the hole and
then lighted the wicking. Driven by the
fire behind il, the turtle moved away
quickly into the burrow. Manuel had
timed the speed of the turtle 50 well that
lust after it had passed through the cen
fer of the woodchucks underground
stronghold the ball of wicking burned it.
self clear of its towing rope and lay
there blazing and smoking and spreading
alarm among the wOodchucks. They
came hustling from out of the unobstruct-
ed holes, only to find themselves in the
clutches of the terriers, who made short
work of them. Manuel got seventeen
wood chucks in his roundup, and thinks
he has exterminated all on his premises
now The turtle was discovered cruising
placidly about the field on the following
day.
