A VENTURESOME MOUSE.
Sacrifices His Life to the Cause of
Science,


little mouse sacrificed his life in the cause
OF science in Ekton last week, and by his
death demonstrated the fact, that fashionable
garment can be just as useful as it is orna-
mental in every detail. The blind mice and
the miller-who cut off their tails with a
carving knife-and the other mice in the
story books-have long attracted our atten-
ton to that family OF the animal kingdom,
which we have long learned to discredit as a
thievng band, who steal away the Miller IS
cheese and the farmers grain,-bu now the
semitic world is forced to worship at the
sepulchre Of n martyred mouse.
A prominent society lady Of Elkton, attired
in body with those large balloon sleeves.
attended a church service on Friday afternoon
of last week and when the quietude OF the
sanctuary and the solemnity OF the occasion
caused ones thoughts to be reflective she
was surprised to feel a peculiar movement on
her arm within the large sleeve. Somewhat
startled she felt for the cause, and her alarm
gave rise to the suspicion that it was a mouse.
1t Is generally believed that mouse is n
fearful terrorizer to womankind- it has
been said that Blueheard's wives feared this
little animal even more than they did their
noted lord and master-but not withstandinp
all this heresay and popular belief, the lady
OF our story-acted bravely and with de-
termination characteristic of n knight of old
firmly grabbed the object in the sleeve with
her left hand-and hurried homewards.
Quickly tearing off the garment-the venture
some mouse met his capture and was slain.
The story is quickly told-the little mouse
with his mind inflamed from reading the
dazzling stories Of Alladin in the cave and
the big voyage Of Christopher Columbus
thought he would also enjoy an outing Of
discovery-and hearing so much comment
upon chow big the sleeves are" naturally
thought they would furnish an ample field for
adventure. His ambition cost him his life
but it brought to the light Of discovery the fact
that one of those modern sleeves is capital
mouse trap.

Mrs. Maggie Maxwell,

Mrs. Maggie Maxwell, the wife of Mr. Wilbur
Maxwell, died at her home near Principle

short illness. Mrs. Maxwell was the daugh-
ter of Edward Brown, a well known citizen
of this county, her husband being son Of
MIR. James H. Maxwell, at present one of the
trustees of the Poor and Insane of this
county. Mrs. Maxwell has only been mar
ried about two years, and her early demise
is mourned by large circle of friends and
acquaintances.
