TOAD WAS A TOPPER.
Ccnnncd In Tree He Absorbed u
Bottle and ft5 Cortents.

Those toad stories, or rather the
combination toad-and-rum stories,
that are just at present keeping the
Maine Society of Vcracious Tale
Yarnishcrs pleasantly occupied re-
ccivei this addition from an artless
rcconteur in Portland. He says
that he and his father were wander
ing again among the old home
scenes in Hiram when suddenly his
father remembered that 62 years be-
fore he had for boyish prank shut
a toad in tho cleft OF maple tree
along with thrce-ounce bottle OF
old rum that he carried to field for
the purpose Of nervlng his boyish
srm. When among the food Of old
associations that wave of touching
remembrance regarding the toad
rushed over him, tho old gentleman
sought out the maple. All, there il
stood! Tho woodman had spared
that tree. But the bark had closed
over the cleft and thore was no sign
that any toad had Office hours from
13 TO IL at that place. But the son
borrowed hatchet, directly de-
ncendcd from the one George Wash.
ington used to carve the cherry tree,
and, with tho parental finger point
ing trcmbllnSly, hacked into the
maple trunk.
Tho cavity was opened and, says
tbe NARRATOR I'VE sprang away in
horror, but from tho bottom OF it
WINS tho head Of q tiiniring toad. His
four fect wero vt the sides and as we
looked he stretched himself and
crawled to the front of tho hole.
We hadn't strength to stop him as
he leaped over the ledge into the
river, and was out Of our reach. We
searched long time for him, but
not trace could be found. We
would have given good many dol
lars to have saved him, but 1t was
too late. The question we wished to
solve is still unanswered. The toad
had swallowed the bottle, but had he
derived any benefit from tho liquor
contained therein2' There is clear
ly no question as to tho truth of this
story, for there's the hole in tho
water whore the toad jumped to
prove it, but the gentleman who so
pleasantly narratcs it has evidently
missed the point. There isn't the
least doubt that when tho Mainc
prohibitory law was passed the toad
made himself o special deputy and
promptly soized tho liquor and
stored It according to the statutes
made and provided That's the kind
of toad he was. Lewiston Journal.

FASHION NOTES.

Double skirts and ovcrskirts are cor,
,ng in slowly but surely.
Tailor made dresses Of gray or tan
colored tweeds are steadily growing
In favor.
Sleeves are even more pronouncei
than ever, and contain even more
stuff, but less stlffening.
The frills about the hips, with which
the newer styles Of waists are finish
ed, are at present very popular.
Many of the newly imported cloth
suits have the skirts lined with a layer
of wadding covered by an outer lining
of silk.
The prevalence of brilliant effects
OF color In the material shown for
dresses Of girls continues. Red was
lever so much in use before.
Some of the new skirts are made to
fit closely over the hips by means OF
yoke, the Joining Of which is con-
cealed by fold or ruffle, the same
trimming being carried out around tho
foot Of the skirt.
