A LIVELY LIAR.

I began to see how hard it was to tell a true story so as to be believed. con- cluded that, as I meant to make my tongue secure my breakfast, I would fall back upon fiction. I went up to the open door of the little cottage and smelled tobacco. This had the double effect of making me greatly want to smoke and of assuring me that man was within, and that I was, therefore, less secure of a meal than I should have been without the too critical char ity of my own sex. l knocked with the timidity of the hungry. A very young woman came out of the back room, What is it?'' she said.
 I replied: "I am an unfortunate man just out of hospital. have wife and nine children: the youngest is blind, and my wife is sick.''
 Poor thing! How old is she?'
 About twenty-five"
 "This seemed to strike the woman as comical. She laughed aloud. well, you are certainly a very lively liar. Aren't you the man that got drunk and drove poor MT. Smiles horse into cir GUS and broke my husbands leg, and told him you were banker and worth three millions? Oh, dear, but you can fib, and you don't do it we'll. I could flo better, and oh, my! that poor wife and nine children at twenty-five years of age!"
 Upon this she fell into chair and laughed herself into prodigality of tears.-S. Weir Mitchell, in Lippin- cott's.

IN THE MAINE WOODS.

To many men the Maine Woods" suggests unini1abited wilderness, and Maine still has, in fact some twenty ntwo thousand acres of wild land far from the summer boarder. But even here the old freedom has gone. knew a party of campers who went up into Canada and then down into the upper edge of the Maine wilderness that stretches unbroken clear to Moosehead Lake, to find that the only place they could pitch their tent was on ten-foot
 strip of railroad land close to the track. But even here they were so closely watched by the men who controlled the camping right that single intractlon of the game laws caused their arrest. The lumbermen who own the land will
 not sell small lots. If you buy you
 must take a township or two. The State law. as a protection from forest
 fires, compels all campers on wild land to hire a licensed guide under penalty
 of fine or imprisonment.
 These restrictionst are not felt by most men who go to Maine. These men
 hire guide as d matter of course, for
 the guides know where the best fishing and hunting are. Many of these very guides, also, have leased the best fish ing and hunting grounds. Here they
 build permanent camps, and these
 camps have proved so attractive that
 they are spreading all over Maine. The formerly almost inaccessible heart of the wilderness Is open to sportsmen
 who like to camp without the usual dis comforts and hardships.
 Why" said lazy lawyer just re- turning from his first trip to Maine, -"I went into that wilderness hundred miles and had glorious time without lifting finger. A Pullman dropped me down at Moosehead, steamer car- ried me forty miles further, a buck board gave meianother lift, and then a guide padded me the rest of the way in a canoe. slept under 8 good roof on a hair mattress. Everything was done for me. When fished the guide would take the trout off the hook. fix the bait and all I had to do was drop
 in and pull out. A man can take va- cation in the woods as easily as he can at Lenox. am going to bring my wife with me next season. ."-The Worlds Work.

H1rNG IN EFFIGY.

Easthampton, July 29.-From the be- ginning there has been some opposition to the free rural delivery route through Haddam Neck and the few who com pose the opposition had given express sion to their dislike by hanging in effigy the carrier, Leon Hale, of this place. The other morning when he called at the home of George Burnham on Had dam Neck he found the figure of a man dressed as near like himself as possi- ble, suspended from a frame made to represent a gallows. On a big piece of paper pinned to the dummy's breast was this inscription in a regular scrawl to disguise the writing 'The End of Rural Delivery"

 Suit for s5,OOo-Rsport FIIod-CIty
 Court and Other Cases.
 Benjamin R. Kelsey of West Haven brought suit yesterday against John c. Punderford, the local real estate dealer, and Mrs. Mamie Waddingham, widow of Wilson ". Waddingham. who own ed the big mansion in Elm street, West Haven. The suit is for s1,200 damages and involves the attempt at the pur- chase of the West Haven castle as the old Waddingham place is frequently called.
 It appears that MT. Kelsey posted $1,000 as a guarantee that he would purchase the mansion from Mrs. Wad- dingham through John c. Punderford as agent. Kelsey claims that after a further investigation he found that any title he took to the property would be clouded. Understanding that he could not get a clear title, the prospective purchaser declared all negotiations closed. The guarantee money would not be returned by Real Estate Dealer Punderford and the suit resulted. Property belonging to Punderford in Sherman avenue was attached by De- putty Sheriff Higgins. Attorney Munger of Ansonia appears for the plaintiff.

WE SUPPOSE it is useless to hope
for the people to regard the Bailey
Beveridge scufile as a natural .oc-
curance Senator Beveridge, whose
words are usually more stenuous
than his thought, said some things
that to the brainy Southerner
meant insult. He also refused to
retract, probably because he did
not understand the harshness of
his words, rather than because he
did not wish to be gentleman.
He was acting according to his
northern ideas, and Baily acting
according to his southern teach.
ings, started to throttle him. The
men are about of u size and NIGH
have made an even match, but
Beveridge did not want to fight
and no body wanted him to, so th'
affair was soon over except tn,
talking.

The Week of Carnivals.

We are pleased to know that
the Lancaster Elk's Carnival re-
ceived its share of the peoples S
patronage last week. Coming at
the same time as the Columbus
show it failed of the patronage
it deserved, but the Lancaster
Elks have the satisfaction of
knowing that every one who Wis
tied their carnival was ready to
vote it four times as good as the
Columbus effort. We suppose
that half the people who went to
Columbus, went because of the
"loop-the-loop" attraction, ard
they were disappointed not only in
this, but in almost every other
feature. There was not a weak
feature in the Lancaster outfit
and several of the attractions
were exceptionally praiseworthy.

Noted Botinist at Rock House.

DR.. Adolph Lene, the noted
botinist and forester, who is tax
ing one of his walks through Ohio
has for several days been a guest
at the Rock House, from whence
he makes excursions into all di-
rections, studying as he goes, the
woods and plants, note book and
cane always in hand.
On the evening of the Fourth
of July, Mr.. Stoll, the Proprietor
of the Rock House Hotel, and
family invited DR.. Lene for a walk
through the woods. The invita-
tion was accepted and all went
down to the Rock House cave. To
the Doctors great surprise the
light of the lantern suddenly went
out leaving all in total darkness.
At once red-fire was burned in the
cave flashing the beautiful glow
out through the mouth of the cave
on to the dense woods beyond. 1t
indeed gave the place the appear
ance of fairy-land. The Doctor
readily admitted this to be the
most beautiful piece of scenery on
his trip.
The Doctor will go into Vinton
county next to pursue his studies.

The Old Slush Again.

The journal. Gazette is one of
those damned if you do, and
damed if you don't" dirty sheets
whose contemplate slush is losing
its prestage every day. They now
try to salve Harry Sparnon as the
grandest man in Hooking county ;
unswervedly honest and upright,
and had the courage to expose
Democrats and Republicans alike
who took fees illegally and ought
to have had the support of every
honest tax payer in Hooking coun-
ty. Mr.. Sparnon's honesty, up
rightness and courage is not ques-
toned, but if he had been nomi-
mated by the Democratic party,
the filthy Journal-Gazette would
have had him dishonest, unscrupu-
lous and low, and not fit for the
office of Prosecutor. They would
have poured it into the ears of the
county officers that were caught in
the fee business, and that he had
done wrong, this and that. Those
who follow the chestnut filth of
Journal-Gazette each year nauseate
when they read the slush. For the
sake of the profession give us
something new. We remember
years ago when Pursell used to
write communications from every
town in Hooking county, about
what grand old paper the Repub-
lican-Gazette was, and what a
smart man its editor was, and
prominent democrat" would come
in now and then for a blazer on
the Democratic party. Pursell
and his paper are now but history
and the purge of the Journal-Ga-
zette will ultimately wash it into
the sewer where 1t belongs.
