The Car stopped at Hillside avenue to
allow a big, pompous looking man to
get ON. There was but one seat in the
car that was not occupied by passen-
ger, and that was filed by an enormous
bundle, beside which sat little quiet
looking man reading copy of The
Windmill.
Il want that seat, remarked the big
man abruptly.
"All right" responded the little
one. "Why don't you take it?''
well, take that bundle out of it, +"
growled the other.
"Guess not, sententiously remarked
the man in the seat.
Whereupon the seeker for seat called
the conductor, who informed the little
man that if he did not at once remove
the bundle he would be thrown out into
the street.
"All right, said he. Fire away!"
The big man and the conductor seized
him and were about to push him
through the door when a man sitting
opposite, just awakening to the situa-
ton, looked up and said:
"Oh, / beg pardon, that's my bundle.
Did you want it removed?"
Then the little one wondered how
much he would have recovered in a
damage suit if he had been thrown off
the car, and the big man sat down
while his collar wilted and turned over
half way around his neck. West Med

The Towns Crooked Dividing Line.

"There is q reason for most every
thing" said Cumberland county man
when he was asked how in the world
they came to have such crooked line
between two towns in his county.
There's a reason for this crooked line.
You see, some Of our towns established
in pioneer times, when land was album
dant and people We're few, had big ter
ritory, which was afterward sliced off
to make new towns. 1t was so in the
case you mention, and when the cut off
was made people along the line of di-
vision were of different minds as to
which town they wanted to be in. So
the Legislature drew "a straight line be-
tween the two parts and then provided
that persons dwelling on lands adjoin-
ing either side of this line might be in
one town or the other. as they should
decide within 80 days after passing the
act. Some went one way and some the
other, and the line was all skewed up
to accommodate Them" - Lewiston
Journal

White Rrook Trout.

Did you ever see "A white brook trout
milk white save for the delicate ira
ceries Of his just perceptible spots and
for the crimson tipped fms below? II is
not likely you ever did, unless you have
STOOD where l stood some time ago and
looked down into the fish hatchery
ponds and tanks, where / saw more
than 1900 of these white trout in one
long tank and perhaps 100 larger ones
in grass fringed pond outside of the
hatchery walls. The white brook trout
is freak of nature, but most beauti-
full fish, and if his race is to be perpetu-
ated, as seems probable, a rare addition
will be made to the brooks.
One day when workman in the
state fish hatchery near this city CHANGED
to see two little trout, pure white and
perfectly formed, darting around among
thousands of others at the bottom Of the
gravelly tank, he made up his mind he
would see if they could not be kept
alive separate from the rest and raised
to mature fishhood. He succeeded better
than he had anticipated, and there are
1900 progeny of this fruitful pair. The
only obstacle which seems to be in the
way of their becoming popular addi-
ton to the trout streams is their alb
normal shyness, a shyness which seems
to amount almost to shamefacedness.
OF course. the average brook trout is one
of the cutest Of the whole finny tribe
and not overanxious at any time to
show himself, but these white trout are
strangely averse to publicity, so to
speak.-St. Paul Letter in Chicago

A Horse Tale.

There are some people who will not
believe the following story Of horse
which takes the end Of a hose pipe in his
mouth and holds it there until his thirst
is quenched, but it is said to be a fact.
The horse is owned by +. S. Brown of
Ansonia, Conn.,, and the horse is sta
bled ut Curtis livery barn. 1t was sew
eral days ago that one of the stablemen.
while fooling with him, offered him the
end of the hose pipe, through which the
water was flowing, and, to his surprise,
the horse took it in his mouth and held
it there until he had a good drink. The
next time the horse was led to the
trough he of his own accord took hold
of the pipe and succeeded in getting
the end in his mouth and had a good
drink and continues to do so day after
day. Boston Herald.
